farming weak regions
KR has potential. We'll never know how they stack up internationally because DRX just dominates Korea. 2/3 KR teams finished top 4 APAC LCQ and Nuturn got 3rd at Iceland, plus TNL esports members are successful overseas (eKo, Meteor, bail) and C9K (Xeta, Munchkin).
In fact I would argue that if all Korean teams somehow got a spot at Masters teams like TNL and DK would probably go further than DRX, even if they had closer games.
