-make KR a 5 region team, improving the region as a whole
-bring in higher KR viewership
-have a better chance at making masters/champions
GENZAMAN1235 [#3]I mean at a time it's only single slot it is bad if they increase their slot like 3 slot would be better
NA has two slots, do you think T1 and Geng with their current roster has any chance to make even top 5 in NA? Also KR has two shots at champions so there's that too. Plus if the region significantly improves (which is possible if T1 and Geng enter the scene) then they'll get more slots
hotpotatoman [#4]yeah sure fighting for a single slot in korea against ons, drx and dwk isn't gonna help them out in the long run

Obviously no

T1 and C9 Korea were tier 1 teams when they existed. C9K had Bazzi, BuZz, Hate, Munchkin, and Xeta. 4 out of those 5 players attended Champions as solid/star players on their respective teams.
onlyfax [#12]They can actually form tier 1 teams but they will need really good guidance(coaches) to fix some of their mechanics. Peri seems to be doing a good job and Im sure solo will be just fine.
jaemin is head coach bro (ex NU coach)
peri is assistant coach. but peri is doing great cz he was a player before.

fighting for single slot against ons, drx and dwg is better than fighting for two slots against sen, c9,100t, optic, guards, xset, v1, rise, luminosity, eg, knights, and nrg. also the non-challangers team like tsm, faze, sq, rng, ghost and akrew.

Yea maybe one day if another decent paying org comes in jaemin or peri can transfer there to keep spreading the knowledge the region really needs.

ONS is a pretty good org tbh

Heard thats a temp name for now. Pretty sure they will find a permanent logo and brand name.

Exactly
tell me you never run a bussiness without telling me you never run a bussiness
the point to have E-sports team is you make a presence, if you have already have a solid team on KR region that have huge fanbase
expand valorant in KR not going to change anything
they have team on NA because they want international presence as a brand and organization

Maybe a good way to have international presence is to actually qualify for international tournaments
kocunar [#22]Maybe a good way to have international presence is to actually qualify for international tournaments
yeah thats the part of it, you make team to make presence winning some tournament and make presence
how this is hard to understand
because valorant is newer game they try to making to scene gambling with former cs player (like every other orgs does)
but winning is different its team responsibility to deliver not orgs
Carthage_Er_Pola [#20]Imagine seoldam, astell, lakia, munchkin in one team. So many korean players being wasted in JP while also limiting the number of JP players in the scene. Not to mention how many teams unnecessarily have 6/7 man rosters
man yesterday i was browsing the liquipedia of japan qualifiers, and youd be surprised there are even more korean players like suggest, allow (both the NU members) and hate (TNL). Ofcourse theres lakia and the others you mentioned. So much potential but their talent is being wasted in japan.

Tell me youre an idiot without telling me youre a idiot
Theyre blowing 6 figure contracts on a T3 team, business wise their decision to stay in NA doesnt make any sense unless theyre guaranteed a franchise spot which Im pretty sure riot wont be just handing for being a T3 team

Easy you say since just can comment now and dnt make decision at the time 😂😂😂
management who (at the time) see prospect and gamble like other team do and its just not fcking works
Many Team sign former cs pros like C9,Tsm,100t etc and have pretty good run on early days
and you calling idiot because you dnt understand situation ?? 🤣 , and about salary most orgs esports not make money (they lost a lot money)
thats why you dnt run a company like me, back to earth kid
