As someone that has been on this site long enough to see the actual old minor league affiliate system, I know first hand how poorly this system works and how unfun it actually is. With that being said, I would use this chance to put the first team outside of North America. For too long have SHL commissioners been racist against other continents. We've had some great concept teams like the Berlin BOMBERS and the Uganda Unicorns that were never even given a chance to be real teams. That being said with Chicago's popularity in Korea due to the Smebs it only makes sense to put our affiliates in Korea. The SEOUL SYNDICATE will begin to play in S50 and will have all of the Smebs transferring from the SHL to play in their home-town, they've also been in contact with a number of former Korean e-sports players including T0M, Easyhoon and Captain Jack about potentially playing for them next season.
