Team Evil Geniuses announces new announcement
If you've listened to State of the Game, watched Live on Three, or read just about any interview with a member of Team Evil Geniuses, you know that Team EG has some big plans brewing. The EG house in Korea is well known, but additional details about that or other plans have been sparse. Fans have been eagerly waiting for more details, but have been given very little until now.
Today, Scott “SirScoots” Smith, managing director of Team EG, made an announcement regarding Team EG and Starcraft 2.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oO9wH.png) Scott “SirScoots” Smith, Managing Director of Team EG and really old guy. Like almost old enough to be creepy that he's working with a bunch of 20 year old boys. Kinda weird...
“We are pleased to announce that we will have another huge announcement to make sometime in the future,” SirScoots announced, proudly. Team EG plans on hyping this announcement for the next few months, but not tell the community anything about it. SirScoots assured the community, “Trust us, it'll be awesome, but I can't release any details right now, other than it's going to be big. But, don't worry. Every chance we get we will tell you we have something big planned. All EG players and staff will continue to mention it in every cast, interview, and casual conversation with a stranger.” When asked about a time line, SirScoots announced that their big announcement will be announced soon (TM Blizzard Entertainment).
The SC2 community and Team EG fans quickly began speculating what the big announcement will be. Some think it will be more details on an EG house, while other more pessimistic and desperate fans insist that the announcement will just be to announce another announcement. However, most people think that a prominent EG member will finally propose to the love of his life. These two have been together for awhile now. They've been the darling couple of the Starcraft 2 world. Of course, this is referring to EG Manager Nick “Tasteless” Plott's proclaimed love for TSL_Clide.

+ Show Spoiler [Note from editor] +Yeah, it's been a couple weeks between articles. Yeah, this one is kind of short and goes a little off topic at the end. Yeah, the images take up more space than the text. Well, too fucking bad, be happy with what you get. Seriously, I'll work harder to get at least one out every week. I still have a decent-sized text file with ideas

Those who cocktease for months should atleast be aware of increased rape possibility.
I personally think it'll be a really sick huge live tournament. EG has got some beefy and dedicated sponsors.
|
Oh I get it...sarcasm! Would be funnier if I actually was a person hyping some sort of announcement all the time. Your comment regarding my age and those around me though...crosses the line.

LOL hahaha >~<
Awesome articles...I appreciate every single one that comes out :D
|

I expected something big then I saw the banner and immediately became sad.
but great post.
|
So disappointed that EG hasn't actually made their big announcement yet. Excellent read btw.
|
i gave u a rating for this blog, but im not gonna tell you right now
oh, and its gonna be epic
|
i feel for some reason after interestng conversations they have had with fnatic msi and them both having done some decent prize tournaments, i feel there is a collaboration betwen the two. maybe a similar tsl or something, idk
|
IdrA switching to terran??? :D

They are making a grubby/jwong/idra/woundman hybrid. There, I spolied it.
|
Wow, I can't wait until their next announcement, I hear it's going to be huge! I heard it might even be bigger than the announcement of this next announcement.
|
looooooool, great post :D

I don't think you got it.

Pretty funny. I agree with Scoots though, that was a bit much.

The proper response to this sort of light-hearted satire would be no response, this just makes you look bad seeing as almost everyone else enjoyed it.
|
I'm going to tell you about what I think about your blog at a later date :D
|
I'm Surprised there was no announcement relating to THIS announcement about the future announcement...some one dropped the ball there for sure, I had NO clue this announcement was coming.

You put the "epic" in the win, sir =) Great post and great commentary, I laughed more than the article itself.
+ Show Spoiler +And I can't believe people didn't get it

I thought it was funny... lol
I mean its a good idea to hype it.. I just hope whatever it is lives up to it!
|
I hate when there are announcements that there is going be an announcement in the future lol.

Classic and wonderful quote right there.

Also, chill, no one took the implied homosexuality reference seriously. You're living a dream bro, not many of us can live a life revolving around what we love to do.

Yeah the SirScoots thing really shouldn't be that weird. I mean, coaches and managers of Proteams are always much older than the players, and nobody is calling Phil Jackson weird for working with teenage basketball players. Just saying.
|
Looool! Poor EG. But they always ask for it! Love them!

didn't see the age comment. But it is over the line. Poor taste imo

Sorry but if that harmless (because obviously silly) comment is over the line you then you are beyond every line in almost all of your jokes. I guess its only funny if none of your buddies is the target.
|
I was going to write a long post defending the joke, but then I remembered that this is a fricking satire blog. Everything in my articles is absurd. Don't take it seriously. If you don't find it funny, ignore it and (hopefully) enjoy the rest of the article and future Infested Archon articles.

Epic! Laughed my butt off because it's so true!

The announcement will happen one day, any day now...

Somehow coming from you I don't feel that holds much weight lol. I've seen you say a lot more obnoxious stuff than that (not that I don't absolutely love it when you do say that kind of stuff, I find it hilariously awesome)
edit: Kennigit put it much better LOL
|
LOL, the article was great. I dont really understand why a few of you got so uptight about some of the jokes though. Lighten up. -.-

So true, so true. This and the OP, hahahahaha. Incontrol just did some more teasing on his twitter, something involving a move to cali.
|
LOL my brain ignored the banner and didn't realize this was IA while reading until I got most of the way in.
|
look man you need to do these more often, just the other day i was thinking one could use some more infested archon shit to lol at

Only 3 pages? Would have thought the community would be a bit more interested in the announcement.
|
This is awesome. It's like The Onion except for Starcraft. lol @ Incontrol

iNcontrol just said that the speculation in this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=189048
Is unrelated to EG and while the announcement from EG will be awesome, this "thing" will be bigger than that.. So much excitement all at once!
He also said his big announcement will be before the end of Feb..
So i guess we have 2 amazing announcements to look forward to
