With the recent announcement of Liquid'Hero I'm curious which foreign team the community thinks has the best Korean on their roster. Players from korea who currently reside elsewhere (Select or Moonan) will be considered Korean for the poll. FXOKorea will not.

Poll: Which foreign team has the best Korean(s)?

FXO (Choya, SC, Leenock) (68)
 
49%

Liquid (Hero, Huk, Jinro) (36)
 
26%

EG (Puma) (29)
 
21%

Fnatic (Rain) (5)
 
4%

Dignitas (Select, TanDangHo) (2)
 
1%

140 total votes

Your vote: Which foreign team has the best Korean(s)?

(Vote): Liquid (Hero, Huk, Jinro)
(Vote): FXO (Choya, SC, Leenock)
(Vote): EG (Puma)
(Vote): Dignitas (Select, TanDangHo)
(Vote): Fnatic (Rain)



Updated poll to include former Fou players. Jinro and Huk are considered to be Korean since they are practicing and living the Korean programer lifestyle for the past few months.

Also, of the foreign teams without a Korean player. Who do you think will be the next to sign one?

Poll: Which foreign team will be the next to sign their first korean player?

Complexity (36)

Reign (4)

Empire (1)

Kind of confused by the players you use for FXO, seeing as one of them identifies as an American now.

FXO has the best Korean lineup by far: Oz, Choya, sC, Leenock, GuMiho, Nuclear, Lucky, TheBest, Sirius.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS FXOKorea IT'S ALL JUST FXO. IT'S A MYSTICAL NAME FABRICATED SO PEOPLE DON'T GET CONFUSED BY EX-FOU COMPETING IN GSTL WITHOUT THE REST OF THE ROSTER.

We've seen so little from all of these Koreans, except for Select, so I guess my vote goes for Dignitas. I'm not saying that winning NASL is a small success, but it is one tournament, we're yet to see what will Puma follow this up with. And because Mouz has the best foreigners, I bet on them being the next team with a Korean in the roster :}
Yeah, whatever

it depends on how you look at fxo korea, but if you include them, they easily have the best lineup. sc, leenock, and gumiho in particular are incredible players.

I considered the FXO team in Korea (Choya, Leenock, SC, etc.) to be a Korean team and not a foreign team for arguments sake. If I were to include them I think the polls would be very lopsided in the FXO favor. Plus the Korean division of FXO (or however you want to describe it) is more of a Korean team by description than a Foreign team.

As far as nationalities I went off Liquipedia. Sorry if I messed anyone's up.

Yeah, it's a weird poll.

I think it's been stated many times that FXO Korea is FXO.

Of FXO, I'd say sC is probably their best player. Maybe Leenock. I think it's between them and Puma. (I don't know that much about HerO.

I'm quite sure that there are 2 FXO teams - FXOKorea and FXOInternational. They are separate in that they have their own management and coaches.

There isn't a FXO Korea. Yes there are different coaches, but they are technically the same team. FXO.Imba on the other hand is considered a different team.

FXO has the strongest line up of Koreans.

psst... I think you missed the signature of the person you quoted:

I'm quite sure he knows what he's talking about.

Puma is probably the best and FXO has fou but I love select too much to not vote for dignitas.

Do you realise I am actually in FXO and I am telling you they are one and the same.

It's probably not worth arguing but most of the Koreans in a foreign team are living in Korea anyway. FXO as a team was founded by Australians. When the players are living in the Malaysian pro house do you consider it a Malaysian pro team? You could just include sC and Leenock in the poll instead it just seems pointless to vote on something where you make the 'rules' up as you go. Liquid is basically a Korean team atm by your standards.

Take out FXO because they are the team with the best korean players or include them all, there's only one FXO.

Updated the polls to be less biased. I'm still not sure whether Moonan or Oz is no longer considered Korean (it still shows as Korean on liquipedia). Sorry again for that confusion.
