This could be a really good move for LZ. He can potentially get a lot more exposure/play/experience if he can find a smaller team where he is a key player, instead of being forever in the background as a B-teamer on a team like EG.

I feel like ever since the BW days, LZ has been on the cusp of being one of the big guys, but has never quite broken through. Here's to hoping that this is when he starts to turn that around!

I really appreciated his casting in some of older EG Masters Cup seasons,

and that he was one of the few openly known Christian pro-gamers

best wishes for the future LZ!

EG won't cut Geoff, he's too much of a personality in the scene, even if his skill isn't as high as it could be. His presence as a caster at events and as a personality on podcasts and in the scene in general is too valuable to them; he's probably one of the better values on their roster as for return vs. investment; they don't have to pay for him to go to so many tournaments, and his position as a caster, personality, and all-around well respected member of the community gives them great exposure bang for their buck. I don't see him leaving any time soon.

As for the JesusZerg, I sadly can't say this is unexpected. He has been all but invisible as of late.

He never really felt like EG, but that's probably a good thing. There was a time, where I'd tune in to his stream frequently, but he somehow never seemed to really want to achieve things and have the dedication for it.
Maybe HotS will bring changes for him. He leaves the impression of being a nice guy.

He's been friends with the EG members, I think, for a long time. If he's staying in SC2 I'm not sure why he left. But I wish him the best regardless!

Like a year ago, it's part of the reason he couldn't get decent results.

Sucks for Lz, I always liked his stream and he did well at the last MLG, only got beaten by Rain and Crank or something to stop him getting into groups?
