Who's tier 1? Tier 2? and tier 3?
Is DRX Vs a tier of its own?
T1 has accomplished literally nothing in NA. As I understand it, they've chosen to stay in NA to foster their fanbase outside of Korea.
IMO, they go back to Korea and drop the bag to make a team that can win against DRX. If Masters events go back to 16 teams, they basically have a confirmed route to international events that way.
Hell yeah the masters slot in korea is so wide open im actually surprised that not many orgs yet have invested into the scene. I know that drx and maybe damwon and esc are really big threats but thats all the teams you really have to worry about. The lcq spot between Korea and Japan makes it even more open to get into masters.
