Why single them out? Teams in general suck at marketing their players especially Korean teams.

Pretty much. If I had to list successful Korean players that have had their success marketed it probably reads a quite short list. Like: Mvp, Nestea, DRG, MC, Bomber.

How many commercials has Life appeared in since being awesome? Even Kespa don't really use their players well enough for marketting. I almost wondered if it was a big tax break for a lot of those companies.

And even for those players you listed for successful marketing, much of the marketing didn't come from the teams, but instead came from Artosis/Day9 hyping them up (aka Nestea and Bomber).

No, Seed

I'm sure Seed will continue to be a great talent. LG-IM, even though their Protoss lineup is so deep, will sorely miss Seed.

I loved all the joking around between Seed, Mvp, and NesTea!

I completely agree with the decision for Seed.. I mean IM is a stronger team, but still - better be an A-Teamer in a B-Team rather than be a B-Teamer in an A-Team..

It was obvious that some of the Protosses would be better of finding another team.. So glad for Seed, hope he makes it..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Thank you so much for that. I needed a good laugh ^^

My god, we need to be careful with jokes... Is it me or mods have been more and more strict recently ? For those like me whose mother tongue isn't english, it's getting quite dangerous if we're not sure of the words we chose... I know I shouldn't comment on bans, but please take this into consideration (Edit: this guy seems to be a native speaker but still).

And he forgot sniper, which is real crime here !

by the way I think the "irrelevant champions" all deserved their title (jiakji is far from his prime but still the best player on his bench after madbull), and while they may not anymore be title contender (but honnestly I don't see nestea win a WCS korea anymore) they are still strong players
