Maybe they will take a big chunk out of prize money but that wont make up for airfare + costs of having them play for their organisation lol. Being able to say they have 2 of the best players in the world on their team will turns some heads. A lot of people new to competitive gaming have never heard of SK. Just having those 2 faces tied to your franchise will bring in more traffic and exposure to their cause. | ||

SK: "ok, here take our money." Where does it say former team oGs? Or did they just delete it? Wouldnt surprise me at all though, lol | ||

Wouldnt surprise me at all though, lol http://www.sk-gaming.com/player/7293-MC I'm curious about one more thing: What will happen if MC and/or NaDa make it to the GSL October final? Will they play for oGs the whole tournament and then in the final (which will be played in the US) switch to SK or just stick with oGs the whole tournament? To be more clear: Is this deal supposed to be in every single event outside Korea or just Non-Korean-based tournaments? | ||

I seriously wonder what goes on in their management meetings, or how they actually let the SK-gaming brand become like this. Anyone following counter-strike eons ago would remember SK to be an esports powerhouse then - they had the major sponsors, the branding, the content...now look at them. I don't know, maybe it all went to shit when bds left the helm. Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Welcome to esports. In REAL sports, teams buy off players ALL THE TIME to compete. It goes with the business of running a succesful esports team. People annoyed by this are like cavaliers fans when Lebron left. These players play for themselves more than the team they play for. Nada and MC saw this as a chance to have a more global presence while at the same time representing one of the MOST FAMOUS esports teams of ALL TIME. This is huge news for both the players and the teams and beneficial to both. Heaton nd Potti(god bless their souls) had a huge falling out with SK and Im sure if anything were legally wrong with the situation they would have had a leg to stand on in court. Chances are that they broke their contracts in a way that left them in a tough spot. If you followed cs at all, you would know they never agreed with managmentt toward the end of their tenure due to roster changes and other things, and left to form their own team again. Either way, that doesnt negate the success SK has had over the years in terms of both management AND players. | ||

I'm not trying to be hostile or anything. But i'm just seeing this having a negative impact on SK as a brand. They may attract new and uneducated fans, but as has been said before, they'll learn that MC and NaDa actually are not a product of SK, but of oGs, and thus noone will really care that they're representing SK, when oGs is the real reason behind their success. And sponsors will know this aswell, no doubt. The organization will in my opinion look like a bunch of slackers looking for a quick buck, even though that's not the case. | ||
