"Oh, Dreamhack this weekend? I've always wanted a giant, star-shaped, glass trophy. There's a few thousand bucks for winning RSL? And I can play it entirely online, sitting at home? Thanks, here's my bank information."

Revival ended up winning that tournament, taking home the first place prize of $10,000. Revival. I'm going to leave it to you to imagine what would have happened if INnoVation played Revival.



To be fair, if you see Revival stream, he is absurdly good in his own right. Sure INoVation would have most likely won, but maybe not super one-sidedly. (Considering Revival DID take out Polt in that same tournament)

99% sure Innovation vs Revival would be one-sided

NA is as hard as KR currently, maybe even harder. So if he wants easy mode he will go EU. Might even be a good idea to be setup for next season. But imo it is fine to stay in Korea, with half of the Code S mainstays being in the NA region.

That just means AM has a few players that can compete at the very top, not that AM as a whole is better.

It's definitely not half Code S regulars in premier.

I know INoVation would have won. I feel like Revival is good enough to at least take a map though. I feel like some people maybe haven't seen him play, so it's understandable they wouldn't know that he's actually really good. (Just don't like seeing that level of disrespect of a player's skill level)

Anyway, still an amazing signing for Acer. They are gonna be SO dangerous in Team Leagues now.

I'm pretty sure blizzard will be changing up WCS for 2014. So we will have to wait to Blizzcon to see if they address the "koreans taking our jobs" complaints then we will know if switching regions will be so feasible.

Look at the top 8 in WCS Season 2 Finals.

America is extremely top heavy. There are 6 or 7 players that are code S level, but once you get past them, talent level drops pretty fast. Over half of NA Premiere would not be Code A in KR.

Also: "half of the Code S mainstays being in the NA region'" ...?
What are you on? cause I want some.
Formerly Code S players actually in AM:
Recent: Taeja, Polt, Ryung, Nestea, Huk
Over a Year Ago: HerO, Oz, Violet, Alicia, aLive
...and thats it. The only "mainstays" there are Polt and Taeja and maybe Ryung. Thats a far cry from "half"

Great article Fionn!

Anyone think Liquid will sign one of the now many available great players?
I know their bank account isnt as massive as EG's, but their roster has seemed pretty stretched in recent team leagues. They do only have 6 active players, and in my opinion, they have a great opportunity right now.
(this is kinda working off the assumption that Azubu,ex-Azubu and Soul players can currently be poached pretty easily)

so no idea how much he'll make monthly, then?
I really doubt Acer got to get him based on helping him to compete anywhere he wants...

well written article. Completely agree with everything you had to say. It makes so much sense for innovation to join a foreign team.
