i doubt it would blow up in korea, cause VS have shown for a while that theyre quite up there when it comes to skill and teamplay. Some of the best in the world, it was just unlucky that during the time their roster was super stable and clean they went up against gambit immediately in the playoffs. Id say back in masters 3 they were probably the second best team there
Korea and JP are probably the last regions they wanna look into. The talent in both regions (yes listen to me first) is incredibly low and DRX dominates because they are simply and anomaly. DRX is an oasis in the middle of the sahara when it comes to talent and skill in that region. I doubt T1 would be able to sign a team good enough to even remotely challenge DRX, at least from what ive seen in KR. OnSlayers were the only team that were able to attain some of the craziest players in KR and JP combining them into a, what ppl thought at the time was a 'dream team', and they did destroy every team... other than DRX. In fact the fact that they sweeped every single team and then got sweeped by drx just goes to show how many leagues above the rest DRX are in KR.
Id say either stick with NA; cause thats been shown to work multiple times by picking up unknown players such as teams like TG and Akrew, I mean just look at who T1 had for the longest time, Sayaplayer and somehow the dude was forced to play support agents; I think maybe the staff at T1 like coaches and GM need to be changed instead since they had such amazing talent in Sayaplayer, Ska, and autimatic.
Either that or invest into BR or SEA, they look to be the quickest up and coming 'regions' with a lot of talent (esp SEA with the abundance of different countries all competing with eeach other to be the rep of a sub region).
you are on something bro.
GodDead, TS, Bazzi, Zunba, and k1ng are all good players but there are plenty who are just as good if not better.
WGS literally 2-0'd ONS.
Hate, eKo, Meteor, Munchkin, allow, suggest, foxy9, Lakia, hyeoni, these guys are all equal if not better than the players on ONS. You could make tier 1 teams out of the admittedly shallow talent pool in KR. Look at HolyMolly. Random FA team that made it to lower GF.
The talent is there, they just need orgs to sponsor and support them.
The new F4Q roster looks good too.
The top 50 players in KR ladder are all cracked but only a few are on org sponsored teams.
C9 Korea, which consisted of BuZz, Bazzi, Munchkin, Xeta, and Hate got 13-1'd by VS. Now Xeta is one of the best Sova players in NA. Bazzi is one of the best Jetts in KR. Munchkin was the best player in Japan last year. BuZz is prob the best player on DRX too.
2 members of the original f4q have retired. zunba and esperanza are already on good korean teams leaving only fivek from that original roster. the other players on the team arent really proven in the competitive level of vct. plus even maybe hermes might stay at holymolly after exceeding expectations.
