Awesome news! I'm glad that TB and Husky are exploring this kind of thing. It does seem like a natural progression for TB after he started sponsoring Bling and helped to get Crank to MLG Summer championship. Best of luck guys I hope to you at many events in the future!

I wouldn't call it absurd. It's a sign of desperation. Imo when BoxeR entered SC2 and created SlayerS he had idea of team, that is more then a team, a family, and SlayerS were known for this family atmosphere. As time went by many players left SlayerS for foreign teams just for money Some exits were clean, some not. I think BoxeR realized that for players family team < money, and he left, back to old school Korean teams.

ROOT is a good example of team being more then just a lineup of people, who still managed to hold on together. I just value different things I guess so...

A fantastic move TB, it was a pleasure meeting you, just from the encounter one could see the genuine enthusiasm and love for e-sports. Hopefully your endeavour will be as successful as it possibly can.

Really ? Would you hire a player that can't speak english ? Probably not.

It's really beyond me how the scene keeps providing korean players with accommodations just because they are koreans and can't to speak english - which is hilarious when they live in one of the best educational sytem in the world. Did koreans help the foreign BW scene ? Yeah ...

Awesome! Injecting money in the Korean SC2 scene is needed, and I'm thankful that someone is doing it.

You're kidding, right? You honestly think a single team on this planet would refuse to pick up players from the biggest pool of amazing talent in the world for the sake of not wanting to have a translator on call?

There are valid reasons for foreign teams not picking up Korean players, but I don't think language barrier is a very convincing one.

But won't TB show bias to crank whenever casting his games? Casters aren't suppose to show bias

Well, an unprofessional would do that. I think if he ended up showing favor then the community would punish him appropriately with a shitstorm.

We already see lots of bias, even from those who has anything to do with any team.

He showed very little bias during the games he cast of his during |MLG Raleigh when he bankrolled his attendance. You seem to be forgetting other casters associations with teams.

Ironically, I would say the most biased caster is mrbitter and he has zero affiliations with any team. He is a good caster but when he casts foreign players against koreans he is quite clearly sad when they lose, especially zerg players like Idra (mrbitter plays zerg).
