Like EG cares, they can just throw more money at their problem(s).
Also I just want to add that its a strange coincidence that so many Western teams are buying contracts from Koreans, buying the entire team together and making joint partnerships all within the space of a month.

Oh, here's a semi article I had written up before I stopped trying to make it any good: + Show Spoiler +Did the EG's pursuit of TSL's Puma close the gates for many Koreans? As much as EG's Alex Garfield espoused the the need for Korea to open itself up to the international way of ESPORTS business, he may very well have become a detriment to his own cause. Following the the news of Puma's enticement by a foreign team, Korea's two major SC II media sites PlayXP and ThisIsGame wasted no time publishing editorials calling for the hasty implementation of protectionary measures from the Starcraft II Conference (S2Con) of Korea. In fact, ThisIsGame reported that GomTV and S2Con had already felt the need the create protectionary measures before the EG-TSL ordeal went down. If that were not enough, S2Con's own columnist also chipped in with his opinion, brutally criticizing his own organization for their failure to protect the interests of Korean teams and players in this regard. That's not to say that we won't see more deals like that between MVP and Complexity or oGs and SK. In those deals, the original Korean team retains effective 'ownership' of the player while the foreign company is merely subsidizing his overseas activities. But the line seems to be drawn at Korean players making complete moves to foreign teams, and it may soon become very a very difficult one to cross. Sources: Starcraft II Conference: http://s2con.com/xe/column/8373ThisIsGame: http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=710199&board=&category=13439&subcategory=&page=1&best=&searchmode=&search=&orderby=&token=PlayXP: http://www.playxp.com/sc2/news/view.php?article_id=3209931Weapon of Choice: http://www.onemoregame.tv/index.php/shows/weapon-of-choice.html
So it'll turn out to be something like a fair & sound version of KeSPA?

Man, the news of korean teams and Foreign teams have been everywhere this week! Shows big plans for the StarCraft 2 teams!!! congratz!
|
Wow
Are all korean (besides IM and slayers) sc2 teams poor?
|
When SK did this with MC and Nada everyone was pissed off. It's the same thing...hypocrites :/
|
Anyone know what the Complexity jersey is like? Isn't Anaheim also the first event that the former ROOT guys are attending as Complexity?

I dunno, they did say that they couldn't afford to pay the exuberant amounts it would take to "buy" a player off a korean team legitimately.

col have an actual team behind it, sk were just borrowing players instead of forming their own team.

With the way EG conducted business in the Puma affair, I doubt they'll be able to get any kind of working relationship with any Korean team =)) I'll laugh my ass off when one day they're the only major foreigner team that can't have any sort of partnership with Koreans; they don't have anyone else to blame but themselves.
Congrats complexity and MVP! Hope this partnership will be a fruitful and successful one.

Too much has been happening for my brain to comprehend in the past few days

And i just want to say that i like it this way. Koreans will be able to practice hard when they are doing this type of deals, they don't need to practice "alone" or move to a foreign house. But in the EG Puma case its different deal.
|
The arrangement is believed to be a first of its kind and will witness joint promotions and cooperation on a global level.
definitely not the first of it's kind, they need to learn some sc2 history. Fou and FXO merger? and that ogs merger for when ogs MC and nada go abroad. Anyways, I'm excited that DRG got picked up by coL, which means we will see him a lot more.

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.

Yes because through the SK-oGs deal players from SK can go and train in Korea in the oGs house.....
Oh wait...
