are we about to see them take over another riot games title
Coures [#4]saying this with a geng flair is crazy work
korea and china still playing catch up in tac fps compared to the west. This aint moba or team fps like overwatch. But east asia will for sure win many more trophies in the future.
RzqoFoxie [#8]Most likely. So much talent is coming out of South Korea recently
Even Japan's teams are stacked with top tier korean players
Tbf, that’s because Japan is weak as a region. Japan’s entire T2 scene is dominated by imports because there are so few good Japanese players.
Hynix [#9]korea is undefeated against chinese teams
besides T1 lmao, they lost to edg once or twice already
gordonramsay [#11]besides T1 lmao, they lost to edg once or twice already

Hynix [#13]oh right im retarded
t1 so bad i forgot about them lowkey💀

It's cause south Korea eSports scene is so developed. eSports literally developed from there. They are way ahead of almost all countries in eSports foundation. Only china as a country is somewhat better than Korea in overall eSports. As a region eu is better tho but is comprised of many countries.

I think japan is starting to change, imports especially koreans are decreasing this split. Teams that regularly getting Russians and koreans like fav and Blue bees are going full japanese , some teams opts for 1 korean like Delight and BC swell, while others still held out.
This can happen because players from t2 orgs academy teams are starting to show up. I think if orgs doesn't stop in investing in academy team we can get even lesser imports next year.

its not like korea have been bad tho
Tempest24 [#24]There is scientific proof that kimchi is beneficial whilst gaming
no shot really?
do you have a paper?
gordonramsay [#22]nah but keep an eye out for Ken. Hes #1 and #2 on apac ranked atm and only 18
He's ok honestly. He's smart but his mechanics are just above avrg
ZekaTheGoat [#29]He's ok honestly. He's smart but his mechanics are just above avrg
how tf is he putting up these stats on two accs
IonlywatchvcjXD [#17]They clear everyone in terms of talent pool but their problems are starting to show when you look at the region from outside
What problem exactly?? Koreans created modern esports and have been on top of the world since 1999, when it began. They don't seem to have a problem keeping it.
I know what romance you have with Tier 2, but in esport's 25 year history, Tier 2 has never contributed much to the development of the competitive scene of any game. It's nothing like soccer or any other traditional sport. You don't have to be coached from childhood, nor do you have to wait until you're physically capable. You don't need to organize a group of people to play and practice.
Focusing on the nature of the competition itself, rather than grandiose future plans, has always yielded better results.

"Nature of competition"
Easy for you to say that when your region have fps history across all Games, japan barely has any , apex is the only one that's notable enough and it didn't generate enough momentum to propel the scene.
I know what you're thinking about tier 2 too, if we play it your way trust me japan won't be where they are rn and we are not even close to a good condition yet. Japan needs a boost to catch up to other regions , no one likes to be called shit for 4 years straight. We need development and tier 2 is the only way to go when your tier 1 team have an org called dfm.
The only boost that can propel japan to that heights right now is academy teams. Orgs are willing to spend money and better just spend them on future players rather than on some imports who in the long run will not contribute to the scene. ( doing both works too)
Your region has it very easy when your tier 1 and tier 2 teams are thriving, your scene is developed enough to generate talent regardless of anything. Japan's tier1 are never there and this year went through the worst season yet. Japan needs a good foundation to rely on and that is tier 2 , we can't be praying for another miracle like meiy to come out, we need consistency. A good tier 2 is what will and always are the basis of a good tier 1.
No one is pushing for childhood academy teams, people who support this are crazy.
Tldr; your region has it all and we have just a little. You are talking through the lense of your region, while I'm talking through mine.
gordonramsay [#30]how tf is he putting up these stats on two accs
I always catch him when he streams and really he's just super smart. The way he takes timings and the way he peaks, he just always puts himself in advantageous positions. He'll be pretty good in the future for sure but i don't think he'll a superstar or anything like that.

I was asking what it was because you said you see a problem in the Korean region. you didn't mention Japan in your comment..
And i have thoughts on your argument as well, but it's after midnight, so I'll write them tomorrow.
