According to Osen, Samsung electronics is negotiating to acquire MVP Ozone (Team MVP's championship class LoL squad) for a sum in the region of $300,000~500,000. The negotiations are reported to be in the final stages.



Depending on the final conditions, there is a possibility that Samsung will also acquire MVP's SC2 squad, Dota2 squad, and the remaining MVP Blue squad (their other LoL team).



The upcoming League of Legends World Championship is said to be reason for the hasty negotiations from Samsung, as MVP Ozone has confirmed their spot there.

MVP sc2 is a huge team right now and I don't see why they would add 20 more players when the kespa teams are all supposedly downsizing their sc2 squads.



So basically we'll lose another sc2 team if this happens.

It's actually pretty smart.



Ozone has four world class players: Imp, Mata, Dandy and dade. They should be an elite team for a long time. They're also a big favorite to go deep and win the entire tournament along with probably OMG and the Korean Regional winner.



Also, unlike KT, CJ and SKT, Samsung is a global brand. What better way to advertise your product and push yourself to the head of the e-sports world than grabbing a team that has a great shot of winning what is going to be the most watched e-sports event of all-time.

If Samsung cares about SC2 that is. Administrator "Declaring anything a disaster because aLive popped up out of nowhere is just downright silly."

Easily worth it for Samsung if you ask me. (:

But anyway this should be easily worth it for Samsung, looking at the record breaking OGN Finals numbers and also the implications that has on the upcoming S3 finals viewership.



Now top 6 or so in KR will be all KeSPA teams though... :O Half of that price is actually being paid for the dancing coach!But anyway this should be easily worth it for Samsung, looking at the record breaking OGN Finals numbers and also the implications that has on the upcoming S3 finals viewership.Now top 6 or so in KR will be all KeSPA teams though... :O

So it should be worth it.
