Literally every team with more Koreans than the other team won all their games so far.
if you judge by these stats the bottom of the league will be Huston, SF, dragons, mayhem
Koreans really this stronk or the non korean teams wronk??

"KOREANS WILL DOMINATE ANY GAME THAT HAS STRATEGY > RAW AIM AND GETS SUPPORTED IN KOREA/ASIA"

The second part is so true and I strongly believe is the main reason for this.

Speaking of OW we know not all Korean pros get paid a lot, but they do get paid, and get other accomodations.

Now check what happens/happened in the west:

NA has big organizations, but despite the huge possible pool of player, they struggled to overcome EU teams (I mean nationlality of the players here), simply put esports are not so popular as in many EU countries, for example Sweden+Norway+Finnlland have a total population of about 20 milions, and check how many pros (not just in OW) they produced.
The scene in EU was completely murdered by a combination of Blizzard pushing OWL so hard ONLY for NA and silly organizations that instead of staying in EU and trying to foster the scene, decided to jump on the "NA bandwagon for OWL"

Meanwhille if you are not in one of the top teams, how can you hope to live off OW gaming? Yes you can stream, but for example where are the gaming houses for T1 teams (T1 outside of OWL I mean).

I really believe (and hope) OWL will change this a bit.

I mean, yeah, that's how sports analysis works. Under the current conditions, these are the stats we have so you make predictions using that. One of the facts in the first week is that Koreans are doing really well.

Have Koreans only been strong for 3 days? haven't they shit all over everyone else in every competition for ages yet? I guess the question was never going to be are Koreans too strong but are the rest of the teams improved enough to match them and sure that won't be answered in 3 days.

Have Koreans shit on any teams in yet in OWL?
No.
They've been dominant in other maps, and then got dominated on others. It already seems as though the competition is fairly close, don't be surprised if crazy upsets happen later on.

Just wait philly slash some koreans tonight. European can stop them even if they ve got ignored for most of the teams. Also SDB is the most korean player in the game even if he is not korean.

Now hold on. Look at LA Valiant. They 3-0’d Fuel yesterday. Say what you want about that match, they only have 3 Koreans. And the rest are french, Canadian, British and american. I don’t think that Koreans are that dominant, I mean, London isn’t doing that well, and I also believe the mentality is different. I mean, these guys will put in work 12 hours a day in countless scrims. I think for the players sanity the Americans don’t do that. If they did put in that much work, I think we would see better teams, but we would also see some guys go mad.

They have 3 amazing Koreans though. Envy is proving to be probably the best off tank player in the league. Fate is BY FAR the most underrated main tank from Korea and Kariv is a nutter and carries on every support. They also have the 3rd or 4th best tracer player in the league and one of the best genjis AND they have Unkoe who is probably besides Jehong the best support in the league.

Next week will tell a lot (at least for the ast Stage of OWL), as so far LA Valiant haven't faced any full KO team, shoud they win even just one, well there's some hope. :P
