"Regarding Korean imports in EU LCS & the 4 pieces of advice to achieve the pro-gamer dream" - open letter from UOL Manager

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 12:51 PM PST

Summoners!

 

First and foremost, I would like to thank you all for the positive feedback I received after my first appearance in Post-Game-Lobby on Thursday 16.02 with Sjokz, Deficio and my dear Sheepy.
I had a really good time with them, and I wish we had extra minutes hours DAYS to discuss in depth the topics we skimmed over.
 
This is why I'm writing those words, so together we can push the talk further!
It all started with an afterthought on the recruitment/hiring process in Europe.

 

Koreans in top 3 playoffs Koreans in EU LCS
2015 Spring Split 3 4
2015 Summer Split 3 4
2016 Spring Split 4 7
2016 Summer Split 3 13
2017 Spring ? 12

 

Since 2016 Summer split, Korea has been the most represented country amongst the EU LCS players.

Most EU teams, including us, have at one point worked, or may still be working with Koreans players.

Why, you ask ? Because Korea is the most successful League of Legends region in the World.

Hence, we assume all Koreans players are Faker-material, so we transplant them out of their usual working environment, expecting them to perform well once they settle in Europe.

 

I see three main reasons why importing a Korean player is a very challenging task :
 

 

1. A non-local player is hard to sell to a European sponsor

Marketing is all about creating value - as a company, you have to sell your product to a customer.

If your marketing is successful, you are increasing your chances a customer will buy your product.
A sponsor sees into an esport team a marketing tool: "I will connect my brand to this team [UOL], and together we are going to create value around my product [NeedForSeat]."
 

As a team, the primary resource you are selling to a sponsor is called "reach". It's the amount of people you can talk to. "Hey [NeedForSeat], if you pay me, I can talk about you to the millions of people following [UOL]!"

As a team, how do you attract those people? By building "stories".
A good story is usually a winning story: you like Faker because he is successful. You like Fnatic because they dominated Europe.
A good story is also a story where you can identify yourself: it begins with speaking a common language. This is why you are more likely to follow someone from your own country: you are more likely to like xPeke if you are Spanish.

As an organisation, if you have 5 French people in your team, you should be good at building stories able to attract a French audience: therefore your team will mainly attract French sponsors.
 

The European Union is a parceled region: 28 countries, 24 official languages and 500+ million inhabitants. This is a challenge for an international business like esport; most European companies have restricted local budgets, and are only interested by a local reach.

Examples:

  • "Edeka" doesn't care about Europe. Primary target: German market.
  • "cDiscount" doesn't care about Europe. Primary target: French market.

Those 2 companies are huge (multi-billion € revenue) and you probably never heard of them. Why?

Because you do not live in France or Germany, so you are not a potential customer, they have never tried to reach out to you. That's the whole idea: these companies will only give a team some money if the team can help reach a specific audience (here: France for cDiscount or Germany for Edeka).
 

To sum it up, Europeans sponsors are not really interested in non-local players. It's hard enough to sell the marketing value of a Polish player to a Swedish company, imagine what it's like when it comes to Korean players.

 

2. It can be difficult for a Korean player to adapt to living in Europe

As a team, our priority is for our players to feel good.

Whoever you are, we recruited you because you are a talent. You are young, bright, you left your family and home behind, you are here to live the pro-gamer dream: you are our future.

We, as an esport organisation, as a team, as professionals, know you are probably lost in this new environment, and we will do our best to help minimising this shock.

We will adapt our food, our language, our rhythm, our habits, so you can feel at home and train in the best condition. It does not matter where you're coming from, we will adapt to you to make you feel good. We want you to be successful. We NEED you to be successful.
 

As a European team, it will be easier to integrate a European player as our cultures are more similar. It costs the player less energy and the team less resources.

Let's think about it for a while : you, Summoners, currently reading on your screens, look around you. You are living in an environment you understand: you know where to eat, sleep, work, study, laugh, love, think, cry, worry, fear. (It sounds stupid to say "you understand your environment", because you don't really realize it until you are forced into an environment you don't understand.)
Currently, your brain knows what to expect within your comfort zone, because you grew up in this environment.
What if tomorrow an opportunity requires you to change everything and move half around the world? Everything will change. In your new surroundings, even a normal day can be really exhausting: your brain constantly has to analyse and integrate all this novelty.
 

Welcome to your new life! You are now living 24/7 with 5 other people.

  • They don't speak your language, you don't speak their language and the only way you can communicate is through English, which you barely speak.

  • The food is suddenly super salty or super sweet compared to what you are used to eat

  • Outside, the buildings are different, you cannot really tell if it's a hotel, a shop, a restaurant, a fancy house or a marketplace - you feel a bit lost

  • Shops are full of weird stuff, and there is no way you'll go shopping by yourself, without help.

  • Everyone look the same!

What a cultural shock. Problem is, you just got hired by a professional League of Legends team and you don't really have time to spend on exploration/adaptation. The season is short, it's only 3 months long.

Some people love such cultural shock, some people don't. Depending on where you are from and how you grew up, you will experience it differently. The best way to deal with it is to talk about it.

Communicate, speak – but those actions are always harder if you don't have a common language to exchange with the people around you.

As a team, we don't want you to feel this shock in a bad way. If your team is good, your teammates will help you, the team's management will help, everyone will help out!
This will cost us resources, time, energy, but we will make the necessary sacrifices to make it work.

 
Over the last 20 months working with Unicorns of Love and Sheepy, I had the incredible opportunity to work with 17 pro-players from 10 different countries.
I learnt from all of them, and I learnt they are all different. They all had to adapt to a Gaming House environment. It is always harder for players coming from a radically different culture and/or speaking an approximative English at best.

It can be a successful story, and some other teams proved it. Yet this is not the easiest path.

 

3. Can we beat Korea if we keep hiring Koreans?

I believe the Korean esport world is a complex ecosystem based on a specific culture.

Why is the Korean region so strong? They took time to learn how to train and nurture their players, starting years ago with Starcraft. They faced their own problems one after another, they learned from them, and they came back stronger.
 

There is currently no book or guide to become a successful pro-gamer, a successful coach or a successful manager. We have barely no perspective on how to efficiently create an esport organisation and train pro-players. There is no tutorial "How to become a winning esport team". Mostly because none of us really know what we are doing.
 
In Europe, organizations are learning from their mistakes, capitalizing on their success and even on failures. We don't really have the years of high-level experience Korean teams have, but we learn fast.
We need to understand how our own player can work and evolve, so we can find our own way to become a dominating region.

I have the feeling the most successful Koreans players are always going to work for Koreans teams. We can nurture some of them for a while, they would would still prefer to play and perform at home. It makes sense: recognition probably feels much stronger when it's coming from your native region.
Maybe the upcoming years will prove me wrong – so far I see SKT Huni and no FNC Faker.

 
Let me be clear: imports themselves are not the problem.
Done correctly, they can be the missing piece that completes a team and elevates them to the next level (think Trick for G2 or Impact for C9). The problem is using this process of importing Koreans to fix our own struggles. We have to start becoming Korea. Does it mean starting to eat Bulgogi and listen to k-pop? Maybe. It mainly means it's time to fix our own issues and train our own players.
At some point you have to stop copying the best student at school and innovate if you want to beat him.
"Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners."

On paper, we even have more players than on the Korean server.

Where are our players?
What's the difference?

 

 

The Korean top ladder is full of talents waiting to be picked out and plugged into a KR pro-team.
The European top ladder is full of raw talents not believing in their own dreams.

 

 
European teams are starving for local players, for all the aforementioned reasons.
 

Good news! You are a local player.

Bad news! We are not in a Harry Potter book, we are not in the Lord of the Rings, and we are not in Star Wars. No one is going to suddenly pop-up in your life and tell you "Yer a wizard Harry", "Frodo plz take the ring to Rivendell" or "The Force is strong in this one".

YOU have to believe in yourself.
YOU need to shine strong enough so we can see you from above, and come pick you up.

 

If you are currently a high-ELO player, trust me, you can do it.
The main difference between you and Faker is just a tremendous amount of work, and a LOT of discipline. Yes, you have to kick your own butt. Yes, you need to stop trying and you need to start doing.
If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Pro-gamer is a real job, it pays a lot of money, and it's probably one of the best job in the world.

It's also a job with almost no free-time, no weekends, an insane amount of stress and a lot of pressure.
SPOILER

 

Four pieces of advice to achieve your dream:

 

1. Toxicity: DO.NOT.BE.TOXIC

Toxicity is just the long story of you, yourself, refusing to face/accept your own mistakes.

You are looking for excuses to conceal your own weaknesses. If you want to learn and be successful, you need to stop complaining and start working on becoming a better player.
 
"I think deaths themselves come from making mistakes" – Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok

 
Let's make it clear, League of Legends is a fair game: if you die, it's your fault.

You were in the wrong place, doing the wrong move, not analyzing the situation properly. Stop lying to yourself: do you think a pro-player would have lost this game? The answer is most probably no.

Blaming it on your teammates will not change what happened, it will just create a bad atmosphere in the team. People will hate you. Your teammates will feel bad. You will lose the game.
 

As a pro-team, we hate toxic players. They are bad tempered and really hard to work with. They don't take criticism, they always complain, it's never their fault, and they think they know everything.

Riot despises toxic players: they ruin everyone's experience. If you ever have the chance to join a pro-team, Riot will check your account, and if they feel you are toxic, you will be refused entrance to the LCS.
 
DON'T BE TOXIC, as your teammates may be your team partner one day.
Maybe someone in the opponent team will be your next colleague, and they will remember.
Maybe the player you just insulted is looking for a new jungler and you just lost an opportunity.

High-ELO is a small world, you will always meet the same people, and they will remember your name.

If you have a toxic reputation, chances to be recruited are close to none.

You want to become a pro-player? Play every game as if someone was about to recruit you at the end of the game. Start kicking your own butt, be nice and stop whining.

 

2. Champion pool

To learn the game and have fun, it's easier to focus on one champion until you master it.
Learn something easy, and stick to it until you understand the champion and its position in the Rift.
 

To become a solid pro-gamer, you will need to have a champion pool wide enough to survive a professional "pick and ban" phase. And your champion pool needs to last longer than one patch: what is now meta might be outdated tomorrow.

As a pro-player, you will need to adapt through tournaments and updates, and what you are mastering today can be no better than a random pocket-pick in 3 months.

Being on top of your game requires to constantly challenge yourself: be curious about what you're playing, and look forward to learn new things and new champions.

 

A team will not recruit a One Trick Pony (OTP), only able to play Udyr jungle and Fiddlestick support. Yes, those picks might carry you to the top of the ladder but you won't go any higher.
 

As a reminder: so far in his career, Faker played 46 champions in 394 competitive games.

 

3. Team Oriented : join the community

One of the worst sentence I ever heard coming from a pro-player's mouth is "OMG I JUST 1V9 THEM". No, I'm sorry, this is not possible. In the best case, you just 1v5 the enemy team.
Why would you allow yourself a mindset where you are fighting against your own team?
 

League of Legends is a team oriented game, and you need to be together to win. Maybe not always when you play SoloQ, but our goal here is not to become a SoloQ Warrior, right? You want to become a League of Legends pro-player, and for that you need a team.

The 5v5 experience is a totally different experience than playing alone in front of your computer. You need to learn how to communicate efficiently, to obey order and to give clear commands. To understand a strategy and react on time, you need to learn how to TRUST your partners.
 
If you really want to be a single hero, go play Starcraft or Hearthstone.
You like to humiliate your enemies in a thrilling 1 versus 5 fashion? Go play CS:GO and Overwatch.

Once you have a bit of experience in a team environment, with 5 brains working on the same goal, you will need a pro team. Start to add pro-gamers to your friends list, talk to them if you meet them in SoloQ. You need to start your esport career. People need to know your name.
 
Build yourself a reputation based on hard work and practice, rather than toxicity and trolling.

Give us a chance to hire you, we need to hear from you! If you are able to impress a pro-gamer, maybe he will think about you next time his team is looking for a replacement.

You are NOW starting to work so you can be recruited for the next inter-season market. Go!

 

4. Be smart!

In order to become a successful pro-gamer, you will have to beat a player like Vizicsacsi.
He is a beast, constantly training and scheduling his life to achieve one objective: becoming a better player. He is the kind of person you are going to face, and you will have to defeat him.  

Your training is starting NOW, and it better be efficient, because you have some catching up to do. Find your own way!

  • Take notes, capitalise on your experiences
  • Analyze your game, watch your replays (you can use software like play.tv or the new replay system) and learn from them
  • Be humble and take criticism
  • Learn and master map awareness
  • Always question things : understand what's happening rather than blindly copying
  • Read tutorials, watch pros
  • Do not dwell on your past achievements : fight your own sloth!

MAKE EVERY SINGLE GAME COUNTS.
You are in a state of constant competition against thousands of players.
At the end of their last game, they became better because they learned something.
What about you? How was your last game?

One of the most hard working players I have ever had the chance to work with is Danil "Diamondprox" Reshetnikov. He could stay for hours in front of a screen displaying excel tables, trying to understand the game's mechanics and look for solutions. This is the kind of player you're gonna have to defeat.
He is a brain.
They are brains.
Be a brain!

 

 
Congratulations!
You worked hard, and you worked long. You are non-toxic, you are skilled, you are team oriented and you are smart. Please keep working, we are coming for you. DO NOT STOP WORKING.
Europe needs you. We need you to be the model of our future generations of pro-gamers.

 
Remember: the main difference between you and Faker is that he kept training efficiently when you stopped. This is not a sprint, this is a marathon, the longest run of your life, and maybe the most exciting. We never said it was going to be easy, we said it was going to be beautiful.

 

 

You cannot be a pro-gamer, but you still want to work in esport?

It is a growing industry with thousands of opportunities! You are maybe too young and inexperienced to apply here: http://www.riotgames.com/careers, but it will give you a rough idea of the diversity of people esport is looking for at the moment.

For most of you, the job you will do tomorrow has not even been invented yet.
Stay strong and focus, don't be toxic, be smart, be team oriented… and see you soon!

Proof that the official SK telecom T1 isn't the one who is copyright striking everyone

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 07:37 AM PST

The offcial SKT YouTube channel is www.youtube.com/user/SKTTeam1st with the name "SKT T1" the guy that is copyright striking us is called SK telecom T1, if you strike someone on YouTube your YouTube name will show up what means you can't change your name when your filling a copyright claim so if the original SKT copyright strikes you you will get a message that "SKT T1" has copyright striked you.

 

This was a trend on YouTube in the past that someone steals a popular brands name and copyright strikes everyone with the fake YouTube account with the brands name on it. Which follows up with a treating e-mail to pay an x amout of money because you damaged "their company" otherwise they will sue you.

 

To make it look professional they straight up stole SK telecom T1's Twitter name "SK telecom T1"

 

Here you can see I'm striked by the fake "SK telecom T1" instead of their official YouTube "SKT T1" http://imgur.com/a/UKGZ1

Here you can see a part of a stupid e-mail address they did set up to fake eveything "goodday...." http://imgur.com/TXMI4ph

The fact that it points out that it's "Manually detected" shows us this guy went one by one and filled a copyright claim manually for every video he striked Automatic claims happen when the system thinks that the content belongs to a channel that is copyright protected. So these copyright claims happen automatically if the system thinks your using copyright protected content.

 
Remember when you're filling a copyright claim you have to swear that this is "Your" content and that you can be sued by the one your copyright strinking if it turns out you don't have the rights to claim the content. Since this guy copyright striked so many people YouTube will most likely take legal actions. (Everyone that got copyright striked can sue him too) A copyright claim is an official law document and will be take seriously You have to sign a few documents and you have to give all your personal information. There are still people that don't take this seriously again this is a official law document you're signing.

Regarding SKT's DMCA claims on Youtube videos

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 05:20 AM PST

Note: I can't post the proof because it leads to personal information, but I'm more than happy to provide it to the mods if they ask for it.

After reading the original thread and the comments from the main thread,

I noticed the OP mentioned other youtubers got the same DMCA claims as him, and those other youtubers expressing the same problem in the comments and this tidbit: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/5uo4qk/remember_spectatefaker_now_skt_t1_is_filing_dmcas/ddvs928/?context=3

People told me that the e-mail is suspicious multiple times but I just assumed that English isn't his first language and honestly I never gave it a thought.

So I did some searching and came across someone with a very similar SKT DMCA problem. That person posted an email address that was on the copyright notice.

Searching that email address name led me to a Naver blog. From that blog (which has links to his social media accounts), I can tell you he is a Korean that is a fan/viewer of League of Legends and more importantly a fan of SKT (his profile picture is a selfie of him wearing a SKT jacket with Faker along with some other SKT/League related posts).

Most likely the DMCA claims that they got is not from SKT but from this guy.

Of course, the point is moot if he works for SKT but looking through his posts I don't see any indication of that. Also, when searching that email name it only goes to his personal stuff rather than to SKT and the email address itself has nothing related with SKT.

If it's possible can u/Catfish_BlLLY pm me/the mods the email address he received this from http://imgur.com/a/R8QEs and the email address listed on the copyright notice so I or the mods can confirm if it's the same email address the other youtuber got?

Edit: u/Catfish_BlLLY and my email matches

Edit 2: Also to other people who got the same copyright strike and want to confirm if it matches, please pm me.

"You activated my trap cards."

The language filter on the new client is atrocious

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 07:10 AM PST

Being European, me and a lot of my local friends chat in our language which was perfectly fine on the old launcher. Nowadays, so many words are censored I can't even tell what my friends are trying to say.

For example we would say "shte cukame li" which translates to "are we gonna play". But the client decides that it needs to censor the middle word. So it becomes "Are we going to ****". How am I supposed to figure out what I'm being asked in that case?

"Cuka" isn't a bad word in English, that's not how the swear word is spelled in Russian, and it means "play" in Bulgarian. But we all get it censored. Smh.

There needs to be an option to remove the filter, or actually stop censoring words that make no sense in English.

What makes you cringe when you see others play your Main?

I, for example, get sick when I see Rylais on Vel'Koz.

I'm actually impressed that schalke04 as a challenger team has better macro and pick and bans than teams in the LCS

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 06:44 AM PST

Especially that tahm kench pick for camille which counters camille ult just by devouring. Props to schalke they won a new fan

Ekko straight up insults you when you ban him

Posted: 19 Feb 2017 11:37 AM PST

When I banned Ekko, he said, "You used to be cool." Every other champ just says some random phrase when they get banned, but damn ekko, that hurt.
