nykLightstrikernykIs there an asian superteam? I don't know the first thing about asiaFortress, but I'm interested in finding out if they do make an appearance
As far as I know, many asian players that were planning on going to i58 (creep, kusoyotech members) have retired from tf2 to play Overwatch. There is a slim chance of them going to i58, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
In my opinion they'd be making a huge mistake to stop playing right before i58. They should see whether they can compete with the best before they disappear into an inferior game forever.
I can't say I follow much of AsiaFortress but if the grand finals that were played a few weeks ago are an accurate representation of their skill, they would not have much chance to succeed internationally. Makes sense for them to quit while they're ahead.

Spe0ShounicGoing to settle the score since there's quite some misinformation going on.
At the start when dashner hinted on Twitter at Asians at i58 everyone who was going to go was confident in going and wanting to play. The lineup was Teejay + koreans which were creep shockey larky flower and fireze or something along the lines of that. There were going to be some shuffling because of age which might cause visa issues, but basically that was the lineup.
Somewhere along the overwatch beta the koreans got into the beta, and have basically switched to it. But they still played tf2. This wasn't an issue until...
The koreans minus creep attended a LAN for overwatch and now lost all motivation to keep playing as overwatch is a better prospect for them. Creep & Teejay talked to them about it but without Larky and the other koreans its basically impossible to form a team that's competitive and doesn't throw money away while making Asia look like a joke.
If one LAN took away the interest of players maybe we're underestimating OW's potential to take away our players.
you're looking at the koreans from an american perspective. Being good at tf2 anywhere but the US basically means nothing in terms of career potential, and really only b4nny manages to be a pure tf2 guy and get stream dollars. If you wanna be esports, playing a game thats 95% as fun as tf2 but 20x the chance of being something to make money on is a pretty good trade.

I say that because some players(like getawhale) say that the only reason players would move to OW is for $$$. And I really think that the koreans would be the last people to make career out of a FPS and if one(!) LAN took away their determination to play i58 maybe ow is a much bigger threat.

was a simple example, and that doesn't mean it's a lost cause for the future, I'm just saying that it's valve's cue, we're very lucky to have what we have from insomnia but the buzz for comp tf2 will only last so long so the least we could have is a large tournament without having to be almost entirely community supported

matchmaking is still in beta and has not been advertised in any official way at all, just through private threads on tftv and r/tf2 so the majority of tf2 players dont know of its existence. its not valves cue yet and its understandable to still be overlooked for a while

Me and a friend are still looking for a team to play with at i58. If anyone has two open slots, or someone else is looking for a team, add me and we'll talk. Perhaps we can form our own.
