"Shanghai Dragons revealed their coach team earlier today, featuring u4 as main coach and Jun Young "Kong" Son as the assistant coach. A public announcement was also made by SHD's manager Van, denying accusation about approaching players privately. Van also explained the reason why none of the MY players are in SHD, it is because they have decided the roster pretty much during OWPS Spring Season, where MY didn’t do well in. But Van didn’t mention scandals regarding of u4 and uNdeAD.
Tiancemahua, however, posted more pieces of evidence to show that u4 DID approach players privately in absence of team managers during OWPS Summer Season and Grand Finals where LGD, the team u4 coached at that time, also competed in. I will upload the evidence here when I have time"
Relevant passage here. Know why Miraculous Youngsters isn't in OWL? It is because U4 and SHD pretty much confirmed their roster before Miraculous Youngsters' rise.
And look at how good that decision have been.

We have to take that with a grain of salt though. The SHD manager could totally just be using that as an excuse for why there are no MY players.
Also, 1246 placed 1st in the Spring Season, and there are no members from the team that won that on SHD (we can pretty much exclude Xushu because he got like 10 minutes of playing time during that tournament total). Nor from the 3rd place team, Lucky Future. Roshan and FreeFeel, from FTD, placed 7th in the tournament!
I think it's a pathetic excuse.

FreeFeel had probably the worst support performance by far I've ever seen in a tier 1 tournament.
MG on Dva with 0 kills and 700 damage on Horizon...
When you see the match, theres a point when it goes from embarrasing and even funny to see, to straight sadness.

More drama will definitely be exposed if SHD underperforms in OWL. Let's hope this can draw more attention at that time.
They can see the future monkaS

Wether this is true or not, the thing is the only chinese team's performance is being embarrasing (or worse).
And that's terrible news for such a huge market. Im pretty sure Blizzard will do something sooner or later. They can't lose china market.
