Man's regarded as the best sniper / hitscan player (alongside Flow3r) in Asia regarding TF2, a point and click adventure is fairly easy for him.

No it's how Blizzard taking control of what arguably the largest and last 3rd party run league. APEX has made its mark on the OW scene, both Korean and worldwide. For Blizzard just to take over this, might really upset some long time fans, and arguably killing the whole 3rd party thing.

True. It's just me being:
a. A pedantic
b. Basing "dynasty" drom my own observations. Doesn't bmean I'm an expert on it. I'm just expressing my opinion
c. I'm extremely sleep deprived.

we did not have these tournaments coz blizzard havent allowed (to make space for contenders)

That part. That's why (partly) we haven't seen the T2 scene in NA/EU grow, with Blizzard steps in and starting to make way for OWL, many T2 teams, or some T1 teams are dead in the water. They failed to qualify for contenders that's it. Done. You can't get in OWL? Done. And tbh, yes. APEX 2 ans 3 were several months apart, but come on. Isn't that the nature of recurring tournaments? And you could make a case of Premier, Major, and Minor tier tournaments ala Liquidpedia. See how many NA/EU teams or Korean teams have won each related Premier and Manor events. Maybe equal, but like I said, how many of the team or rather, players/cores competed still survive to this day?

Between remiska and everyone else who don't pick at least a Korean (or maybe a Westerner) as their choice od decorated players, really confuses me. Like I said above, between NA/EU and Korea, Korea (and by extension the Chinese scene) has the most stable T1 and T2 scene by far. Numerous T2 tournaments, online cups helps grow and nurture the teams. Now NA/EU sure have their own fair share of third party tournaments, but, since the last online cup or the last open LAN event, how many have been considered an annual thing? MLG? Only 2016. Takeover? Sure, there's 1 and 2. Atlantic Showdown? Never happened again. IBP Masters, and NGE LAN, never to be seen again the following year. Now the argument is "oh why don't Korea come to NA or EU then"? The answer is why? They already have a thriving scene, they don't need to travel across. South Korea is the esports "capital" ffs, even tournaments are being shown on TV! The point is, with tournaments come and by since the beta, how many teams that still survived until this day to defend their title? Decorated doesn't mean just winning, it's also about maintaining your title, continue your "dynasty". LH did, and by proxy many Korean teams and their players, while not winning, show they can beat these proven Western teams in APEX. And remiska? It's most decorated player, not a team. (Although I did put up this wall based on a team view but yknow.) TL;DR, Korea most stable scene, thriving tournaments and decorated means not only winning, but maintaining the legacy of your victory.

You do have to realize that Korean teams by far is the most consistent structure-wise. The teams, the players themselves may had some crazy off seasons, but you still recognize this team from X season, that team from Y season, that's why you see LH can defend their title. They have at least a healthy T2 scene (imo), not really lockdd to Blizzard's doing. Now compare that to NA or EU. I won't say the T2 scene out west is completely dead, but it's the lack of third party tournaments that supports them. For me IMO, this is why most people chose a Korean or maybe some Westerners that made it as their choice of most decorated.

Zen? Wasn't zen's flag choice a punchline

yuki? I think you meant the legendary ANIMEFAN

I am loving this brand. It might be a little bit jarring at first, but by god I loved it. They definitely hit one of my top lists so far for how OWL team are approaching their branding/fandoms, NXYL pushed their first video in a "Adidas/Nike/whatever" type of ad, and it's just fit. I don't know why. For me, it's definitely on par with how Seoul, SF, and Dallas pushing their brand to the common fans so far. The shortened name to NYXL is clever too imo, and also with that roster I gotta support my fellow former TF2 brethren.

Have you read why they'd name it like that? For me it's pretty interesting.

Rogue is splitting up their OW roster so their players can pursue OWL opportunities.

Didn't the Team CC roster is set for the Shanghai spot?
