They should go to EU

Considering that probably none of the top korean teams will want to scrim against them (korean teams have loads of B and C teams to scrim against, even if they're not playing in the OGN), that'd be a better idea.

Not true at all. Even when CLG went they scrimmed I believe everyone but SKT on a regular basis, so I doubt either team will have any issues finding scrim partners.

First of all it wasn't on "regular basis". They had a lot of issues finding scrim partners and often had to play against non pro teams. Secondly they got to play pro teams ONLY because Montecristo has a lot of connections in Korean pro teams, so he was able to come up with a few scrims against top teams. No way in hell Reginald or Hotshot (who were both very disrespectful towards Korea on several occasions) will be able to get them serious scrim partners.

Think you are getting your information from a buddy or something because a lot of that is false. Hotshot is quite the opposite of disrespectful towards Koreans, so not sure where you even got that from. CLG has played in Korea quite often, even CLG and CLG.EU took part in OGN all the way back in 2012 for example.

I'm not fan of either team (don't dislike just not the teams I cheer for), but even I know what you are saying is wrong. I'm not fan of Regi at all, but again you are just talking out your arse lol. If Hotshot for example was disrespectful towards Korea, pretty sure the biggest Korean fanboi (Monte) wouldn't have agreed to remotely coach even for a day. You are just spouting nonsense.

I honestly believe the Chinese teams are the bigger threat this season.

Not sure about that to be honest. Most of the korean imports haven't worked out quite as well as they hoped, or they for some reason just haven't started them (pickup Flame to rarely play Flame for example. Granted never should have got him but beside the point).

I don't think the chinese style will translate as well this worlds, as they really like team fighting, and outside of certain teams, the macro level of games isn't revolving around fight after fight like in China.

Korea for example plays around objectives really well, but china plays around winning fights first, objectives second. If Korea for example, doesn't take the fights, but still pressures the objectives, I'm not sure that fight fight fight style will work out for them.

The only problem is that the Chinese teams will fight over the objectives. You either go into the teamfight (which is what they want) or you have to give up the objective. So you are forced into the fight or else you lose the game due to objectives. It's a great strategy they are using.
