While yes, it will get massive popularity to t1 and it will get them a shit ton of viewers, is the sacrifice really worth it? Like I'm sorry but I dont see how this team is going to make it out of korea quals after kickoff. There were 6 good tier 1 korean teams in pacific last year if you include onside. Nongshim, krx, varrel, onside, geng, and t1. On top of that, all these orgs will probably pick up the leftover tier 1 korean players. There are ALSO tier 1 korean players that were originally imports coming BACK to korea like Udotan. There are ALSO some upcoming tier 2 korean players that will pop off. All this move does is take away opportunities and money from korean players for a content team that won't even do anything after kickoff. They aren't making it out of quals lmfao. It's even worse cus like I'd understand if they went with crashies and tenz with sacy hc if they had korean players OTHER THAN STAX AND BUZZ. just terrible management all around and sure the gamble will get them more skin sales but they will just lose popularity if they can't qual for cups.
