There's no team more deserving of OWL Seoul than MVP Space.

WOW IM SOOOO SUPPRISED
but honestly i feel like lh and rogue are very simillar in that, that they both lack flexibility and while their really good at what their doing some change to meta might make them far worse team and thats why i prefare kdp because their more flexible and in my opinion as a team have higher skill ceiling

I was just about to post the teamseoul.gg link on the forum thread, yet Scrubasaurus was wayyyyyyy faster than me. Good job.

Also not a big surprise, but a big excitement. Can't wait to see more team reveals!

remember last time the meta shift didn't favour LH, they got knocked out of APEX 3-0 by Kongdoo Uncia. Definitely a volatile team in terms of flexibility

What they need is to expand their hero pool to incorporate more set strategies since they've proven not to be the types to swap on the spot.

Their DPS core is their weak point so either they get better at more heroes or they bring in another duo like SBB/Fl0w3r or Rascal/Birdring. Honestly if they actually did that the team would be absolutely frightening given how flexible those guys can be.

Hopefully LH has time to add more depth to their play. Specially since Esca will have to do his military service at some point. WhoRU would have been a solution to this since you could just have him flexing to whatever they need along with their strongest Tracer player at the time but...he got gud too young.

Will be interesting to see how they deal with this.

team had one week to practice the new hero = not a flexible team. in all seriousness LH is at the top of the current ow teams not because they're all star but because of their teamwork and how they put so much effort to prepare for every team/stage. this month is gonna be awesome with all the announcements.

There is only one reason why LH is the best team in the world: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/commons/images/0/04/LHRyujehong.jpg

I think that KDP will probably also end up representing Seoul

I think that maybe they will reveal additional players that would be added to the roster as well, offering more flexibility.

Official press conference with all the LH players after the announcement https://www.twitch.tv/videos/168836426

If anybody could translate into a paragraph or so what have been discussed, it would be the shit.

By the way, the fucking player intro clips are sick.

The Korean description of EscA is :

The Captain of the team, EscA, provides his experience as TOP CLASS DPS. He was in 2016 OWWC Team.
TOP CLASS DPS ESCA EXTREME HYPERLUL PogChamp

OK. They didn't even watch 1 game of LH. They don't know EscA doing nearly nothing in his team.
Poor Sombra one trick man.

My translation of the brief Q&A session after the press conference:
(This is based on the article on Inven)

Q. (to Kevin Chou) How much are you going to pay for their salary?

I think I need to offer them a competitive amount of salaries but I cannot tell you the exact figures.

Q. (to Chou) What’s the reason for you to choose Lunatic-Hai to represent Seoul in Overwatch League?

I believe teamwork matters in all kinds of sports. I have met a lot of players in Korea and they had talents. However, it takes quite long even for talented players to establish teamwork among them. They need to spend a lot of time together for teamwork although they have a great amount of talents. That’s why I chose Lunatic-Hai as its members are not only excellent in their individual skills but also great as a team.

Q. (to Baek Gwang-jin; manager of the team) What’s the reason for you to accept Kevin Chou’s offer?

I had a lot of thoughts when I first heard the offer from Kevin Chou. Kevin Chou became the owner of the franchise in Seoul. Lunatic-Hai is a team with Korean members and we could have a chance to represent Seoul, the capital city of the country. So I was thankful to him for his offer. Lunatic-Hai has been active as an Overwatch team for about a year, which is a quite short period. Kevin Chou had in-depth understanding of the game and respect for the teamwork and therefore he wanted Lunatic-Hai as a whole to be part of his franchise. So I had a series of thoughts and then made my decision to accept his offer thinking that we could be better prepared for the league if we participate in it as fast as possible.

Q. (to Baek) You also have LTJ and Whoru in your existing Lunatic-Hai roster. Are they going to be reserve members of Team Seoul?

Well, we have a difficulty in taking Whoru to the team due to the Blizzard’s policy. We are open to every possibility for LTJ. You will be able to see our full roster once it is announced later. We will update our roster whenever new members are added.

Edited: I misspelled Kevin's family name. Sorry for him!
