I keep hearing this term from the commentators. What is the meaning of Korea 2.0? I heard something about a "great chinese exodus"?

"great Chinese exodus" a lot of top Korean players were lured to china for cash after worlds.

Korea 2.0 is the pro scene rebuilding its teams after exodus (mostly)and the OGN tournament being changed into the OGN league with riot rules.

Not just China. Korea is exporting LOL talents to NA, EU, and Brazil as well.

OIC. I thought it might be a nation of origin type ruling. So China is buying up all the talent eh?

yeah a lot of Korean pros went to chinese team during the off season. part of that is salary, china offers ridiculously high signing bonuses and salary, and popular streamers make ludicrous amounts of money there as well. like were talking like 6 figures annually. the other part of that is OGN changing its policy on teams, so each organization can only have 1 team now(so no Samsung Blue and Samsung White, just 1 samsung team), which left a huge number of players as backup players and stuff. so instead of risking being a backup, players just left to china.
