I have one question Tyler, did you listen/watch the episode? Just want to know if i should point you to it for answers on some points of your post. Yes of course I listened to it, but I also have listened to what AG and EG have said in public countless other times, and there have been countless lies and deceptions and mistruths. Perhaps I didn't point out how many points we have to distrust AG on in order to accept my read on the situations but that's a really tiresome process and people are just going to be split on siding with AG/EG if they're ignorant of their history of lies or siding with me if they trust me and/or aren't ignorant of their history of lies. Yeah, I can see that. When I first read the quotes unattributed and out of context, they read as though the 3 players were incredibly angry that this had happened and were being used to support that point of view. Instead, it seems like they were just responding to people asking if they were going to join EG.
I think Ret's tweet will balance that whole vibe out: "in all seriousness @lorangerchris has been a great teammate and friend. Best of luck to him and @EvilGeniuses in the future." -Source

Yup, TLO's tweet too: "I wish people would focus more on the incredible farewell and kindness @LorangerChris showed us... dont be angry at him, love him "

The images of TLO and Jinro's quotes were posted so many times I figured everybody who's been following the whole thing saw them at least at some point. Here's Tyler's:

I wouldn't ever want to do business with EG. On a personal level, I like a lot of EG people. But professionally, EG is a joke.

Now to put things in perspective, I don't think anyone believes that TLO would really kill himself before joining EG or that there's some profound hatred on a personal level at all. It's just a way to make a statement.
The fact that all 3 of them would say it, and the fact that even Nazgul said he was bitter about it and HuK implied Heosat was very upset with it implies that the relations here aren't really as simple as choosing a team that offered a better contract.
Overall, the whole TL vs EG thing isn't a team rivalry as much as a direct conflict of philosophies and principles. TL and EG represent two very different, almost opposing sides of e-sports.

do you understand that huk got an offer that was so large i dont think anyone would turn it down. HuK knows that he grew up with teamliquid and he will always remember that. but the truth is the reason pro gamers are pro gamers. are because they need to support themselves. and the reason that they play and try to get better. is because deals like this. Huk made an exellent choice. because of the life changeing offer eg gave him. i am for ever a huk fan. And guess what huk, "hahah i just played this guy on na battle.net called ergbob... after saying he loves me he goes "i dont deserve to play u" and leaves TT <3" its me ergROB i played you on ladder and i am a forever huk fan! everytime i see u in a tourny im rooting for you to win it man TT
