^ This.
Anyone who's doubting that these scenarios will help the west aren't realizing that when a deal like oGs-TL or coL-MVP, or even FXO buying out fOu while maintaining their current rosters materializes, players on the respective teams all of the sudden now have an opportunity to train in these houses with the pros, in that structured environment. How long they stay is their choice, but they do gain a monstrous edge when they go over there, and the opportunities are limitless.

Actually if you look at the next TL open there are over 500 participants that are just from the US. There are lots of opportunities for westerners to get their name out there, they just have to post the results in order to do so. Aquring Korean players for foreign teams is not preventing western players from exceeding IMO.
Without training with the best, non-Koreans just fall futher and futher behind, as we've seen in the time from the beta to now.

As far as "hurting up and coming NA players" I assure you that we're concerned with growing our local community as well. The compLexity Academy is our effort to develop some local NA talent.

Fantastic move by Complexity. They get their brand out there and have access to training partners and infrastructure in Korea.
For those who said the living conditions are abysmal, don't be so spoilt. Think of it as bootcamp or the army. Train to be the best with the best.

awesome that we get to see genius at more events!!!
|
Pretty amazing glad to see more American teams taking a step to get them koreans :D AMERICA / EURO will be the Haven for SC2. Sorry korea

If this trend keeps going, it could have a severe chain reaction to most of the BW B-teamers who are actually pretty decent but just can't catch a break to get on the TV. This could lead to a rapid increase of SC2 popularity in Korea as more and more pros flock to showcase their RTS skills in SC2.. I bet that MBCGames and OGN are watching this movement while leaking their lips.
I'm not sure how many of the B-teamers actually do have a contract (which probabaly would prevent them from practicing SC2)

I'm not a very big fan of Complexity, but this is pretty cool news nonetheless.
|
Hah, nice move to compete with SK's new acquisitions. Pretty cool though, hopefully it means a lot more Koreans and because of that, better games, in upcoming foreign tournies.
|
This is getting crazy. So will CatZ be happier with this turn of events lately?
|
This is happening all so fast, holy fuck.
|
kinda odd if DRG and genius will be wearing a COL tag while still in Korea..
|
SC2 is going to be a western thing, simply put.
|
Cant wait to see what competitions those two get to take part in.
|
I am really interested to see what comes out of this. I really like that in SC2 the korean and the western scene arent split up. Well love watching DRG so i really hope to see him participate in foreign tournaments way more often. MVP+Col fightiiing
