I like it, I mean look at where HerO came from, he was in OGS, yes, but I don't know if he even got some televised matches for them. And what a player he is! Looking forward to see all of these players play in some tournaments!
He started 1 game in the GSTL for oGs before joining Liquid, but yeah, there's just a lot of hidden scary good players out there.
Seems like a great idea for Fnatic and wish them the best of luck.

Any plans on forming a team house in korea?
I would say even korean amateurs are on the lvl of top foreigners. Especially since August (augustwerra) used to be a pro gamer.
I think the top foreigners have shown they can compete with top level Koreans (Nani, Sase, Fenix, Thorzain, Idra, Mana, Stephano etc.) Korean amateurs are like the level of high level EU players.
As for Fnatic B team. Awesome shit, B teams are what really pull teams from casual to hardcore.

I agree. I'm pretty sure this would happen if they ever got good enough to be offered a good contract. I'm guessing they would at least need code S though so thats some ways away.

None of those players can compete with top Koreans.
MMA, Bomber, MVP, Nestea, Losira (and most of Code S) are well ahead of any of those guys.
There is a reason Sase, Nani, Thorzain etc.. all got eliminated from Code A in the first round.
Title seems a little misleading but cool initiative none the less, especially since amateur Koreans are probably on par with most of the higher-tier foreigners.
All I can say is, I am glad more money is going into the "Korean Method". I'm sure if they can make a living doing this, at least a few will surely play the game like a job.
