To all of the fans making the compliments on the pick up, we thank you. Some have had some legitimate questions about why we are picking up Korean players instead of foreign players. As you all know we have tried to pick up several notable players and for one reason or another it has not worked out. I will not rehash all of the details. That being said we look around the field of foreign players and the most marketable and top foreign players are signed to contracts. We are a professional video gaming team that is one of the oldest in the world and we are built on championships. So naturally with our partnership with MVP and Coach Choi we start looking at the Korean SC2 scene and begin scout talent there. Our fans and the fans of the players also need to keep in mind that our sponsors are global companies and as such the Korean market matters and the Korean players transcend all markets as they are popular and beloved throughout the world. We love the foreign players we have now and will continue to work with them and will always keep our eyes open for available players. We have the Academy and that will continue.

Wow, pretty impressive! Complexity getting up towards being a legit gstl-type contender - ganzi, heart, nada are really good.

I was gonna point out that the OP didn't actually link to the TL wiki but I got ninja'd by the ESPORTS bot.

Called colMVP for a reason, I think they'll just play with MVP next season.

Gratz to both parties, though I was never a huge ganzi fan, the more koreans at foreign events the better :D

EG hasn't picked up a player in a while so all sites must be set on Taeja.

Im not sure how much longer trimaster is in Korea but it would be so f'in amazing if Col fielded its own team for the GSTL. I would be their #1 fan

Please send drewbie and minigun and make a real hybrid team for the GSTL!

Complexity taking their SC2 team pretty seriously, it seems. Actually building up quite a nice roster over there.

rofl coL creating the ultimate mercenary team...

What I find (sadly) hilarious is that when we sent TriMaster to Korea we got flamed for wasting money on a developing foreign talent. Yet when we sign Koreans people accuse us of not supporting foreigners enough. Can't win I suppose.
