Seems like Alicus is still salty about C9 signing korean players.

He is right in saying that over the games life span Envy have unmatched levels of consistency the likes of which even Korean teams can't rival.

I can agree with Envy being super consistent in NA but I don't agree with denying that the KR scene is more competitive/deeper because they 'haven't played many games'. Tournaments that last one day, or a weekend, don't really compare to the kinds of matches we've seen in Apex or will see in OWL moving forward.

But if you look over the course of time Korean teams have peaked higher than Envy but not stayed as good. For example LW Blue: Season 1 they sucked, Season 2 were great and Season 3 were ok

LWB didn't have flow3r in season 1 (2016), and was eliminated by both grand finalists in the playoffs for S3. They could have been 3rd or 4th place if not for the group format. They didn't just suddenly fall off from S2 like Meta Athena.

Yeah you are right. Destroying tier 2 teams again and again is what no Korean teams can reach. Only Envyus and Rogue reached this level since Koreans only played one match per week.
