Might be getting ahead of myself here but anyone else thinking they might be shifting towards a full Korean roster for the future? unless they plan on investing a good chunk of change and time/effort into getting all those players to learn a basic level of English before next season of OWL but it seems to me that if you have problems in OW the answer is always Korea so who knows.
Might end up getting these Koreans as the OWL team and have the Chinese boys play in Contenders to practice while they learn English.
So Florida couldn't find enough Americans to represent them, same for New York and for London who couldn't find enough good Europeans to represent Europe yet there's a lot more options for Shanghai when it comes to China? was that sarcasm or something. Pretty fucking sure you could build better American and European teams before you could build a Chinese team as good.
China had about 20 teams, similar to Korea in terms of numbers. The US had much less than that. Not to mention the fact that there are already a bunch of players from the United States in OWL. There are 17 players in OWL from the US, while only 9 from China. While you could make a strong NA or EU team a Chinese team would easily be able to fight with them. I mean, just look at miraculous youngster
20 teams and this is the best they could do for the OWL? US had much less teams but better overall quality same goes for Europe, people act like MY are an absolutely amazing team but outside of matches against Chinese teams they won against 4 Koreans at Nexus Cup then lost the next 4 games they played against non-Chinese teams 3 months later, don't get me wrong I ain't saying they never played good and they definitely done well to beat the Koreans but people over-rated the fuck out of them for doing very little.
US teams have done far more than that and likewise Europeans, sure China has tons of players which explains why a) they are the worst team in OWL right now and b) they just recruited a few Koreans and NO Chinese players, make sense right.
Didn't a Chinese org just pick a full Korean roster for a spot in Chinese contenders, which again sums up the incredible array of quality and quantity China has to offer, right?
