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.

don't listen to the dummies.

great pickup.

Haters gonna hate.
Just remeber that fans (like me) greatly support you sending TriMaster to Korea in order to develop his skills (Sick!), as well as picking up pro's like Ganzi, Nada and Heart. The last performing exceptionally well with a 3rd place in MLG Winter Championship!

If you run your team to please every TLer you're doomed! that's a sick pick up and it's good that your trying to give their chance to foreigners and recruit some skilled Koreans at the same time

Gd luck

This looks like Complexity once again trying to rival Evil Geniuses after EG accquired their star CS 1.6 team back in the day. EG already had a decent foreigner team featuring IdrA and HuK, but then they added PuMa and JYP. Whereas coL's team comprised of veteran players, none of them really placed as high in tournaments all-around. So it comes as no surprise to me that coL has picked up NaDa, Heart, Killer, and now GanZi.

The North American rivalry continues...the next few months will tell which team is superior in SC2.

Good luck to both organizations and their players!

Congrats coL, great pickup obviously.

I'm a little worried some of these very rich teams could cause a situation similar to wc3 though. How long will korean teams be able to afford their own players?

That's why he wants to experience being on a foreign team before it happens.

Because they're the best players?

Well there's goes my respect for Ganzi out the window. I can't in my wildest fantasies imagine why someone would leave slayers for a team such as "col". Really?

So these Korean players that are signed directly by complexity, how does that interact with the coL/MVP partnership in Korea? If complexity gets enough people in Korea to do GSTL would they be their own team or would these people play as part of MVP? What about if a coL foreign player goes to Korea to train, they stay and train with MVP right? so if they want to play in GSTL would they play with MVP or with Nada, Heart, Ganzi, etc (hypothetically speaking if there were enough independently signed coL Korean players to field a GSTL team)

This is just curiosity, keep up the good work coL

I expected this. I was wondering how he was able to come to MLG without a team paying for him(flights from korea can cost $1000). And I saw that Jason Lake said something on twitter. Very nice to see 4 Koreans on complexity
