Some korean teams did...clearly OGS did before their main sponsor was pulled....TSL has quite a few, MVP has a few good ones as well as other teams having some too.. I mean OGS had mom's touch which I went too and was fucking awesome

Meh, LoL. Hard to believe that koreans who love the high-skill BW want to watch it.
Koreans love MMOs. So do westerners. LoL is the most similar competitive game to MMOs (despite being a RTS mod).

NOOO my favorite team  well after Startales now. I used to love oGs, they had everyone i loved, but now it seems that they kinda fell off, but they still have some greats like TheSTC, Cezanne, Vines, they are still very good, and this is really sad.

This is strange after they for sure made the most profit from selling their players in the past year.

The real problem will be DOTA 2 I think. LoL already took so many but it has leveled out. The name will take more on DOTA 2 (not to mention I hear it is better than LoL). F2P wins everytime but I hope HoTS brings the numbers back up.

TL didnt "kill" anybody.

Bittersweet, oGs was one of the few korean teams which I actually cared about and wanted to do well.. But I'm really happy that a strong team such as Xenics storm is having its sponsor, really happy for Yellow 
Really hope fOrGG finds a team that can accomodate him, I doubt he'd go back to KT since he had expressed his dislike of allways being in Flash's shadow and he was probably the player hurting the most from KTFlash...
I honestly don't know too, to much about the rest of the players to care much at all, I feel heartless

Not true, the LoL scene is still growing at an insane rate. IIRC they just passed 100,000,000 registered accounts.

I agree some koreans teams are doing fairly well, IM just signed a great deal with LG.
There's no reason to freak out about lol stealing sc2 sponsorship....

If you hate a business for not supporting or investin in something they dont see as profitable then you are an idiot. Why should they have some warped sense of loyalty to support the subjectively better game when the numbers and profit from LoL say it all.

Oh boy here we go again with the ridiculous numbers.
The game is F-R-E-E meaning I can have 500 accounts and so can anyone else.

I was watching 2 friends play LoL, I don't see sc2 in danger. We clearly play the better game.

more korean for foreign teams to sign

So sad. Remember the days when oGs was THE powerhouse. I hope the remaining players can find new homes

LoL is a new game! give it some time to develop and become competitive like DotA!
Also, I don't see why people have to bash LoL over SC2, can't we enjoy both?

Pretty sure Riot knows when you have more than 1 acc.

Yes, this is true. That's why I said registered ACCOUNTS and not registered USERS.
The fact of the matter is that the game is still growing at a very large rate compared to most games out there, even F2P ones.
