Hey guys, I've been offered a contract with the Evil Geniuses. I'm mega-happy, they have some of the best players on their team, no question. In case you didn't know who they were (are you a moon-dweller?!) this is some of their SC2 team:

[image loading]
Evil Geniuses' team-members, on 'come to work as a 2004 videogame character' day.

As many know I play Protoss, with much success in my league, though my micro is lacking and I have the hands of a twitchy baboon. The manager told me all it took to summon them was a truly gosu victory, and I now could have so much!

This great victory is tinged with sadness as I am left to explain to my coach that I must leave, for my career. I hope he can be happy for me, but still it is hard to face my coach and my SC2 family. But must I do it alone? Such big business usually involves gangs of suits meeting and signing contracts, this is so different from the usual transfers!

Actually talked to a mod and did my best to remove what was thought to be offense (which wasn't intended to be in the first place), was told it was ok...

well... dont just mope around your old team house untill you finally break and tell them that you've already made up your mind. Tell your manager your interested and get him to talk to EG.

EG is sure hiring a few people lately.

Should probably clarify this is entirely a work of fiction, written mainly cos I wanted to show off a photoshop I thought was funny while showing the player perspective, which hasn't really come up in all the debate. I said it more seriously in TLO's blog, if I may cross-quote myself:

To be honest the person I feel worst for in this situation is Puma. There's lots of talk of if what EG did was good or bad, or if the Koreans should just adapt and not get to be 'culturally-offended' by the way things happened, but at the end of the day Puma was the one who had to go talk to his coach, who as far as I know is a big deal in Korea, and say 'I'm gone', before he had a contract signed. Puma shouldn't have to do that, for the simple reason that it burns bridges. Because of the way it's been done his coach is offended and EG now have a PR disaster on their hands that means they could just turn around and say 'you aren't worth our trouble'. Whatever about translations or opinions, it should've been done in a professional manner that didn't put Puma's career at risk.

You gain reputation with me for referencing the Evil Genius's game. Spiritual sequel to Dungeon Keeper 2 and the soundtrack was simply boss.
