KoreanOverlord [#3]gen.g t1
The ceo of T1 isn’t American and the one of Geng too?

both own KR league teams
Sprouts [#11]Cause they are smart
Valorant was a game that would clearly be dominated by EU/NA so the orgs invested there
Games like LoL, on the other hand, are dominated by KR/CN so the orgs chose to stick with the region they are headquartered in
Yes, this. Even though you can't pick up an award winning team in NA, it is still way more profitable to raise a team there than in KR.
ciro [#15]NA has got way more viewership though
na itself doesnt have the most viewers everyone else watches na thats why they have the most viewers or else apac has more viewers

well that counts as NA's viewers. there's no distinction between viewers based on their location.
mattgg2015 [#9]because korea is overrated as hell, mostly bad teams combined with low viewership and fanbase
LMAO your the guy who thinks Brazil is the 3rd best region right?
number_1_bjor_fan [#13]sk telecom (which owns t1) is korean

something similar happened to geng- they were originally ksv esports, but they rebranded to geng after getting a spot in the overwatch league i think it was? not 100% sure

C9 and T1 would have much better rosters right now if they would have kept the Koreans ones instead of the Americans. Even if they had to bring them to the Us (xeta, Buzz, Munchkin, bazzi… Idi even know if they speak English but if they do they could have imported them as they did with xeta and add them to Tenz)
