Honestly if you look at it he wasn't living in the team house(as far as i know). He wasn't winning tournaments, he doesn't really produce content or cast. He didn't play in teamleaques. EG has a extremely top of the line roster and they are pretty zerg heavy. And if you think about it EG seems to care alot about two things: results and exposure of sponsors. Either way best of luck to him, I am sure he will join a team and get more exposure. Look at Axslav, leaving EG worked out great for him. And if i ran a team i would look at former EG players.

God I have to say the hate that he gets is completely unwarrented. People need to realize this isnt a flame thread and to take their bad attitudes elsewhere. For anyone who knows LZ to any degree knows that he is the kindest guy you could ever meet. To wish him anything but goodluck is unnecessary. Jake, Keep going man. I will always be there to cheer for you. I know personally without your stream there is no way I would have ever been as interested in sc2 as I am now. You and the rest of EG helped to open my eyes and make it completely worthwhile to stick around. You are a hero so keep on keeping on my friend.

I would have much rather seen HuK leave than LzGamer really.

Havent heard of LzGamer for years so dont know how he is doing but I have heard and seen HuKs horrible play lately,
and that, is worse than not being heard of thats for sure.

Maybe he did?
I have never seen a game with him, ever.

Lz made people hate me. When I started sc2 on the retail I did some of the training maps, that are slower and have rocks protecting you from early rushes. Well the Rocks didn't stopped Reapers.

Wish him the best ^.^ he brought micro above a-move to starcraft2. Atleast to Terran, well Zerg got another title partly thanks to him.

Yep, he sure is the inventor of micro in Starcraft 2. Thank god we had EG.LzGamer. Will be missed :'(

He's playing Heart of the Swarm at the moment, and he's definitely a good player. Certainly in the top tier of American players. I wouldn't be surprised to see him join a new team and gain a new lease of life. He's a clever player and a dedicated individual, from what I've seen.

Good luck!

Maybe he just wants to stick to his Steelseries keyboard x)

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to be a REAL 'Lord Zerg' again, and play terran.

I liked his reaper stuff back in the day. Good times.

As a Zerg, I freaking hated it. So op.

He lives in the same city as me. Met him and his gf eating breakfast one Saturday morning (on my birthday of all days) 2 years ago. Good guy. Hopefully the best is ahead.

It's surprising that he left, I expected that EG would have cut him since he has no real recent results.
I think this probably means he has a better offer from a different team lined up.

This makes me sad. He was one of the founding members of EG since its BW days.

It is sad to see him go, i'm curious if he is going to stay as a player or move into a manger/coaching role now? Either way i'm excited to see what he does next!

It's weird to think of Machine and LzGamer being separated. Besides being friends, they're pretty much the same skill level, even if they have different strengths and weaknesses. While you may as well keep the one that provides more marketability, or neither, I was skeptical that anything would ever trump that friendship/history. EG.Sterling, make it happen.

Will we never get part 2 of Lz's IdrA story?

Good luck in the future!
