Great news.
I love how Koreans and foreigners are building ONE community more and more. It's good for SCII and for esports in general.

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


lol.

He starts bashing on NASL, MLG all these tournaments for inviting Koreans over saying that we have to keep them away to let E-Sports grow in the West. But then when his team starts a partnership with Koreans so (on the MVP's side of things) can send more Koreans to foreign events, he starts saying "no no no. it's completely okay because it's MY team that's doing it."

I have no problem with coL. doing this, but this is just complete bullshit when CatZ tries to explain that he agreed with his team's actions all along.

You keep making strawman arguments here. Do you actually read the posts you are responding to? Also you don't need to post lol at the beginning of your posts, they are hilarious enough as they are.

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.


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.

Well to be fair, I don't think any other team can do what FXO has. And Complexity has the ability to do just what oGs and TL are doing as CoL players can go and train in the MVP house.

part of me likes this - awesome coL gets access to top tier talent and can send their players to a location without fear of them beign isolated there.

part of me also hates this - coL isn't actually doing anything except sponsoring another team, which i am definately not a fan of.


I really hope that thsi and the Sk deal are only the beginning and allow these teams to have an inroad with each other - and allow one(in this case coL, whose got plenty of capital and experience from what i've seen int he last couple months) to buy the other out when the time is right.

First of its kind? So it's like the SK deal basically. Boring.

To be honest I'd rather see his navy brother, cdr.KEEN at MLG.

At first blush this sounds like a good deal, but I afraid that after not too long we'll see a similar post saying that FXO or col has released most or all of their non-Korean players, and merged the rest into the Korean organization. It seems that is more likely than seeing more than 1 or 2 players on these foreign teams going and staying in Korean (after the GTSL).

Sure is a very cool agreement, and will hopefully continue the partnerships that foreigners and Koreans are building.

Cool beans, these are great players. It's particularly interesting they mention their participation in online tournaments. I think other foreigner teams are going to need to look towards similar deals to keep up.

Yes, I like the approach FXO and TL are going. They are not only sponsoring, but contributing on both sides player wise. HuK is with oGs and oGs provides all he needs to become a better player.

Also, FXO is now "one" with fOu, they're not just giving money but also giving an opportunity to practice with other players worldwide, play in foreign tournaments etc. They are now one team and not just sponsoring each other with money or shit like that.

But the way coL and SK go is imho just pretty bad. It's okay though because these deals will break soon enough.

Keksx please do everyone a freaking favor and spend 5 minutes reading the first post. Then go have a drink and spend another 5 minutes reading it again.

CoL's agreement is one of it's kind because it combines both TL's and SK's deals together.

FXO won't, as they're well setup for outside of Korea, just kind of close by. Plus, they have some really long term goals (of which I know exists, what they are I'm not sure). FXO is actually going for the 1-stop-shop approach of having casting teams along with playing teams. Plus, they're so far invested in Malaysia, they aren't going to abandon ship anytime soon.

Though, I do worry for Oz's ability to learn English. Too much more time around Tgun and he may be ruined.

Edit: I should probably point out that, it seems, the unwritten rule of FXO's operation is "MarineKing.Prime will take 70% of our money".

This is how you make a proper announcement. Introduction, a quote from side A, a quote from side B, wrap up. I'm sick and tired of the one-sided sensationalism.

Anyway, I'm glad to see some travel support and I hope it goes well .
