the big problem is everytime something like this happens, everyone starts quoting things I never said. if you want my opinion, my opinion has been voiced in multiple places multiple times.

I'm really happy both for complexity and for our new teammates. they will be traveling to international events to represent complexity and they will represent complexity while in korea as well. this is a completely different case scenario than for instance; having regional leagues. I don't see how they relate to each other, I have nothing against koreans, and if they are coming to foreign teams to TRAVEL and PLAY in this hemisphere, I don't only welcome that, I respect that and im glad, that makes e-sports grow on this hemisphere.

They are also going to play for Col. in online leagues.
Would be quite... "funny"? if during EG Marters' cup nex season they chose DRG over you. :/

I dont like all the borrowing deals. Because this feels like more borrowing than partnership.

Am I the only one who hates this? It's not about koreans joining the foreign teams. Thats okay. The issue is HOW ITS DONE.

This is neither buying players nor raising them. It's just advanced sponsorship. This shit is nothing persistent or something you can rely on.

His last sentence completely applies to you. Your summary of what he stated as his idea to grow e-sports in the US is hilariously for the lack of a better expression...double digit IQ?

When SK did this with MC and Nada everyone was pissed off. It's the same thing...hypocrites :/

That was because SK threw away their entire team and is just using NaDa and MC to promote their brand, MC and NaDa most certainly don't have a lack of funds to travel. But with Complexity they're giving a chance to two deserving players to come out and play in western tournaments.



You do realise that MC and NaDa DO have a lack of travel funds right? OGS isnt paying for them to go anywhere. All of MCs appearences in foreign events have either been paid by the tournament organisers eg. NASL or off his own back as far as im aware

Oh I see, I guess it's okay to apparently "kill the foreigner scene and discourage new pros" when coL. gets a piece of the pie.

Time to grab as many koreans as you can or form alliances. Wonder who will be the first to form an alliance with SlayerS.


Btw congrats to Complexity forgetting MVP with DongRaeGu one crazy freaking player :D.

Complexity has access to top of the line training in korea for its players, MVP players who perform well have access to tournaments outside of korea. This isn't just sponsorship, it promotes growth of both teams.

Yea, like I said, it's a sponsorship.

NaDa is still in oGs no matter where he plays,
DRG is still MVPDRG no matter where he plays. But NaDa now gets money from SK and DRG gets money from coL.

This is nothing else than an advanced sponsorship and it's bad that teams are going into that direction.

Those topics aren't even related and you mash them up because you apparently didn't understand what he was stating. I encourage you to rewatch the clip where he states his idea and come back here. You are very off on this. Even regarding the topic you created (which is not what CatZ is talking about) the American players of coL still win out in this deal as they get to practice in a pro environment if they so wish.

coL is easily the most supportive organisation in NA of local talent.

Yep you said it was a sponsorship, I corrected it(though too late lol).

The NaDa MC deal is different, as SK didn't get to improve its existing roster in return(as it has none), and there is no guarantee they will sponsor other oGs players for outside tournaments.

I wish teams would follow FXO and TL's example and actually send players to train hard in Korea; maybe stay in their home countries and make team houses like EG.

But the bottom line is that hard work HAS been paying off for all foreigners who practice insanely hard.

Look at HuK as the oGs-TL ace. Look at qxc all killing IM. Read FXOboss's posts about how diligently his players are starting to practice realizing they have so much work to do.

Sponsorship isn't going to go very far. There are no shortcuts in anything in life.

Oh that's great, but I'm sorry to inform you that it won't make the NA scene any better.

I honestly agree with this sentiment. Whilst it may be good news that strong Korean players are now supported properly and can attend more events, these kind of merges are going to surely have 1 of 2 effects on NA and Euro players. Either they pull their finger out and step up to the plate to show that they are equal in worth to Korean players, or they continue to perform on a (on average) lower level and eventually be left behind by the foreign based orgas.

Yes, I actually hope that Col. guys really take time to go train in Korea. And they should be able to play in GSTL.

But something comes to mind now. Was not some guy from GG gaming going to MVP house soon too?

It's the cool thing to do right now. Everybody wants a slice of Korean pie. Jason Bass and Jason Lake? Did those guys like change their names just so they could sound like more of a team? I wonder if they like fishing...
