Imagine trying to build a team brand in North America with having only players who speak Korean and find out it's not working , who could have guess? /s
Not to say "I told you so", but this was possible to be foreseen pretty early on Season 2. Everywhere were just talking about "Runaway this Runaway that".
Is Florida better than last year? Yes
Do they have more LOCAL fans? A team without local fan base is no team at all. Does this apply to Florida? Who knows
Sure color scheme is cooler for Florida this year, but I don't follow Florida enough in social media to see, if they are putting any content out, which isn't just "read subtitles" like most teams with KR roster does for their videos. Like I am not saying nobody can't speak Korean or any other language at all in those videos, but 10 minutes videos with only Korean as language is just something I don't care to watch, when team is not based in Korea. I would say same about any other language too, which isn't spoken as primary language in that country, where team is based in.
Also by the way have you noticed how saying anything semi-bad about Runaway always gets people angry? Titans never had fans, all they had was Runaways fans. Proof me wrong.
You have a point but to be fair that come with picking up a whole roster. Usually fans grow with the players. Also I really think OWL making team regional is kind of stupid. I mean first off OWL kinda "stole" what Korea had made with APEX but made it worst I don't know if you watched APEX but the management back then didn't have any of the problems the League is experiencing now. Yes Corona is new but still...
Like OWL is the only E-sports game I know that has "regional" teams.
I don't know sure dive (think I started following EU/NA Contenders Season 0) was fun to watch like anything is, when you start watching anything, but to be fair it was kinda stale meta Winston/DvA/Lucio/Zen/Tracer + Widow or Genji that's how almost every map went as far as I can remember. That's just after thoughts that it wasn't really diversified meta even sure it was probably fun to watch and play.
Just hope we actually would get to stay in metas, where most of the team has a meaning instead of 5 of the team members in each team waiting for widow 1v1 duel winner cleaning up the rest of the field.
Tank and Support lives matters.
