You can't just throw a bunch of good players together and expect them to work well in a teamleague. | ||

The performance of Axiom-Acer in the last two GSTL's though this was a while ago shows that foreign teams can definitely compete on equal or superior footing with some of the teams in Proleague (IM, MVP and Prime). The right foreign team especially an all-star team would almost certainly be middle of the pack or better given appropriate priority management and coaching. GSTL is far away from the same level of Proleague. At the beginning of previous SPL, I was thinking IM may be better than Samsung or CJ, considering their player line up at that time. and you know the result. | ||

The vast majority of the above-mentioned are definitely capable of taking out the "weaker" KeSPA-players. That's not an assumption - that's a fact. And a roster needs 6 players for playoff, not a single roster you mentions have that. Thats why I'm for a team where all foreign teams and teamless players can get a opportunity to play in. | ||

Its really all theoretical at this point, since we don't know what shape or form the superteam would take or even if it exists, and with the status of several Korean teams next season very uncertain; with Prime losing some of its lineup, with IM losing their whole lineup, and MVP rebuilding entirely. My position is just that if such a team had existed last season it would have been very capable of defeating at least the bottom three teams, since Axiom-Acer had previously exhibited such characteristics in the GSTL. This foreign alliance would thus not have lowered the overall quality of Proleague, which is an opinion that several people in this thread have expressed previously based on the simplistic reasoning that they such a team would be foreign. | ||

It'd have hype in the first round, then it'd die in flames like eg-tl Edit The reason a team would fail just for being foreigner would be because they would not commit They wouldn't pass a dreamhack for the sake of proleague I have my doubts if they would pass a random online tournament with free money on the line going deep into the night in a proleague day | ||
