Interesting news. I am glad to see such a Korea-Foreigner relationship take place.

Man, first Complexity takes a stand on quality & mannership in dropping Destiny, now they help bridge the Korea-World gap. Quickly becoming my favorite team.


Mannership is not a word. I would not consider terminating Destiny a "stand on quality" as he has become a significant force in the community both in terms of player ability and player popularity.


Yeah, I wasn't actually a big fan of how the Destiny drop was handled but whatever, that's a different topic entirely.

Every team is allowed a couple of fumbles, this is just awesome news though.

How is buying out a top level Korean player to stomp the foreigner competition and absolutely demolish clan leagues any better? Its like the team gave up on their current roster and any future western players and just wants a Korean player for the notoriety.

Jason Lake showing EG how to do it.

Is this some sort of revenge by 1 upping EG?

Timing is fishy.

Not a fan of compLexity. At all. That being said, I think this is a good deal and the kind of direction non-Korean teams should be heading with Korean teams. Team Liquid seems to have been doing this for awhile already, albeit as less of an "official business maneuver" and more of a casual agreement.

The compLexity/MVP partnership and FXO/fou acquisition are mutually beneficial to both players inside and outside of Korea; definitely more preferable to see this than teams that are simply actively trying to get Koreans to join them--the kinds of deals made on shaky grounds with very questionable long-term benefits.

OMG poor guys. Did you guys see the beds??? It's like they're imprisoned. I had no idea it was this bad. It almost seems abusive.


A lot of Korean places look like that. MVP's house really isn't all that bad.

slightly offtopic maybe, but i really have to ask this.

Alex Garfield said he was not a fan of those deals like SK-OGs (and Col-MVP i guess).
Since 'they are taking money away from the players, except the prizemoney' .

Now i wonder... what money does SK (and Col) take away from the player?
Normally the korean player and his team need to pay for the flight to international tournaments, and the only money the player could get on this tournement is prizemoney.

SK and Col seem to just let them wear other shirts at international tournements. I don't really see how this takes money away from the player.

This last weeks are just insane in korea-western esports team affairs/delas :D I really like what this is doing for western sc2 breaking the barrier to korea. Even though one of the affairs could have been done a little smoother jk jk

coL had an intense relationship when EG snagged coL's CS 1.6 team about 2-3 years ago, so I won't be surprised.

Isn't the difference here that CoL players get to travel to Korea and stay with MVP to train if they so choose, thus making this deal different that the SK-OGS deal? SK just borrows the players when they go out of the country while Col gets the opportunity to ship a few players to Korea for a 3-4 month training regiment to improve. Seems like a good deal if they've got players willing to take the trip and make the effort.

excellent move. MVP now gets exposure outside of korea and complexity gets to send their players to train in korea if they want. it's a win win situation. this type of collaboration is what's really needed to encourage the korean and foreigner scene to come together.

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.



It's very similar to other deals, for sure. However, the way it's structured is pretty unique. I *believe* it's the first of its kind but I could be wrong. Props and respect to those who have already done similar things.


It's the first of its kind, only in & of the fact it's the mash up of the oGs-TL & oGs-SK deals, just costing more than the TL partnership.

complexity would be wise to send Cruncher & Kiwikaki there as soon as possible. Otherwise, they're not going to get a lot out of this.

Yup. I read the announcement, thought that Jason Lake sounded incredibly familiar, and then it clicked. He's the guy who called out Alex Garfield for snatching coL's CS 1.6 team. This timing is absolutely genius.
