The only non-Chinese/US based orgs in OWL are the Paris Eternal (DM-Esports) and Seoul Dynasty (Gen.G)

As for going to NA Valorant for a bigger salary, that depends if they can get a spot on a top team

#28

it wasn't the org's competency, dubstep explained in the recent upcomer podcast that their contracts expired and that thats when team secret approached them due to bren being unable to fully provide to the level that the roster needed

Thanks for the updates! I'm excited to see how the DMG team turns out. They already have a good core 3 with t3xture, iNTRO and Jeong Hi and now they are probably going to sign the #1 Korean Sova player. DMG is looking scary, especially after how well they did at APAC LCQ. Also maybe they could finish their roster with Suggest and they would probably be able to compete against VS. It's also exciting to see another former MVP.PK player come to Valorant as well as the T1 PUBG guys(I don't watch PUBG but there's more people in Valorant). I hope more orgs enter Korea since, right now, it really seems like it's just VS, Nuturn, DMG and TNL that are somewhat good and I also hope the Asian cs guys switch over since they aren't really doing much in cs(The best Asian cs team could only beat Sharks at Stockholm). Anyways this is all pretty exciting stuff for the future of APAC Valorant.
