I like the idea of an All-Star team. As it currently is, no foreign team comes close to being able to compete all by themselves.

I don't think a single foreign team would have a chance of beating Prime, even. Let alone any other Kespa team.

Acer would have a shot with Inno MMA and 1 other player picking up a win. Or Inno winning twice

Not with the top 5 Kespa teams. But
1) a team could invest specifically for proleague (like, Liquid'DRG and then you have a team that can beat anyone)
2) the other Korean teams can't compete with them either, yet some of them played proleague and they can take matches of them or even make final runs (like MVP).

Not sure if I like the idea of an allstar team. It's basically just "the guys that play in Korea anyways". I guess it's (much) better than nothing, yet, it's not "a team" and does not give me any "omg, TLO just beat Zest" moments.

Snute/Scarlett had a better winrate against Koreans than MKP had in 2014. And MKP doesn't even exist anymore...
It's basically Creator, which I would rank lower than Taeja (Liquid) or INnoVation (Acer).

I think that Axiom is the best team for PL.

With 1 or 2 mercenaries ( Pigbaby and Jaedong bcz jaedong vs flash) it would be even better, given Axiom's run on GSTL and i believe in CranK as a coach!!

I think Pigbaby is better in this format, since hes a really unorthodox player and knows how to prepare different stuff so i prefer him than most P players around.

Only teams imo that are at least partially viable are Axiom, Acer, TL, YFW and mYi. Probably a few partnerships and contracting of CSN/GEM guys floating around (Yoda, First, MC, Polt, Revival, Violet, HyuN) would be involved. Something like EG did with Revival, JYP, aLive and JD.


There is a 0% chance that Polt or viOlet would participate in Proleague. They are busy studying while wrecking the NA scene, there would be no benefit for them.

Honestly speaking, unless the new created team dedicated all of their time on PL, this won't succeed as they will be the new punching bag.

Only guy that is worthy enough for PL:

A team:
Jaedong

Bogus

MC

Innovaction

HerO

B-team:
Jjaki

MMA

San

ForGG

Hyun

And those players will have other tournament to focus on. I think sure it could increase the view count due to the novelty factor but you have to ask yourself which one is more important, the viewership or the game's quality.

As much as I'd love the idea of cloning Bogus, the technology is not there.

Regarding allstars: anyone remember Welmu vs. Bounty Hunters?

The technology to build a second Bogus is there, but it would sadly violate Korean patent laws.

Also - Someone should update the front page with some polls along the lines of:

Do you want to see foreign teams in Proleague?
Yes
No

Which team?
-List some teams, include option for allstar merger

Would this increase or decrease the competativness of proleague?
Yes
No





Otherwise we're just arguing about how it would happen or if it's worth it, which is KESPA/the foreign team's job, not ours.
why?

A allstar merge, like this. I think they can be better than Prime in the last season so this will be increase the level and the hype!. (9 players a least)

T
(Polt or Bomber)
Taeja
Innovation
P
MC
Stardust
(Jim or Welmu)
Z
(Snute or Hyun)
Scarlett
Jaedong

Really the only way that the foreign players could compete would be to make an all-star team. And obviously it would depend greatly on who can and wants to move to/back to Korea to play in Proleague.

A team or two made up of foreigner allstars could prove interesting, but I don't see any team outside of Kespa being able to compete on their own.

Honestly, outside of Ryung, MMA, Innovation, and MAYBE Scarlett, I don't think that Axion-Acer would have the depth necessary to pulls off wins vs your KTs, Jin Air, and CJ. Maybe they can edge out Khan
