When someone like Sjow or Thorzain asks for a $2,000/month (hypothetical scenario) salary, why would a team with financial constraints pick him up when in fact you can pick up a Code S level player for the same amount. Would you prefer a ganzi/thestc (code S players who havent recieved a top 2 placement in GSL yet) on your team or would u prefer paying the same amount for sjow/thorzain? The answer is simple enough Note: The 2000 US$ amount is made up, but the actual asking prices for EU players is indeed in the same range of Korean players of Code A and Code S who have not won a GSL yet. Examples - FXO, Liquid, EG, Fnatic, now coL. Simple economics and common sense will always prevail in any business. When the majority of a teams income is not from results, but from marketing, a good foreigner is more valuable than a code S korean. No one gives a shit about most of the koreans, while there's always a huge buzz around the best foreigners. | ||

It's a fantastic pick up by compLexity, I just wish that somehow foreigners were able to keep up. Complexity is still holding their foreign players though, even a lot of the ones with little to no results are still listed as being on the team even though we never see them played in team leagues(unsurprisingly considering the amount of talent on Complexity). In addition, you still see a lot of their better foreign talent played in team leagues such as Minigun, Drewbie, Catz, QXC and sometimes even Goswser. | ||
