That's the source of TT not being EG, not of EG buying Secret. I don't know if there is even an origin to the rumor that EG is picking up a team, it's just something that has been going around the scene for a while. Doesn't mean it didn't start from someone with inside knowledge though.

The point is that the players actually approach AG and ask for contracts cuz they know he offers better than anybody else. AG isn't like actively recruiting up to 4 or 5 teams lol, they come to him.

In Richard Lewis' show Trash Talk he said a Valve employee apparently spoke to Alex Garfield and said they would have to have "a serious discussion" if it did turn out that EG were getting Secret and Tinker or whatever other more teams.
Lets hope that is true, I don't want just one person owning all the teams

The thing is, to causal viewers, they can't tell the difference. You see how big of a distinction he has made the brands of EG and [A]lliance. EG is a "USA" team. Alliance is a Swedish team. If you didn't have previous knowledge, you'd think they are two completely different teams.
Although I can't say this with certain confidence, I feel like Garfield is trying to do the best for the game, at the same time maintain his business. As long as all his teams remain independent and are trying their hardest against each other, I don't see a huge problem. (For now.)
(But I also really do hope that other teams can maintain their top teams, healthy competition is always great for any scene.)

But it means there's a Garfield team in the tournament that's not EG or Alliance, and there's only one other unsponsored team.

Nothing changes when EG own all teams. Only easier to get sponsored events like the pizza.gg stuff we used to have.

? the point was blizz did that for liquid lol.
valve aren't that dumb

a self-righteous scrooge mcduck. Every once in a while he comes down to talk about how he's friends with black people and it's totally inappropriate to say slurs or be racist.
Then he goes back up to bury his head in the gold as Stephano hits on 14 year olds and Mason continues to use slurs.

It doesn't matter if they are actually independent or not. Valve got lucky in last TI with EG losing to VG. Imagine if they reach that last game qualified and lose. Or even worse, pull a Liquid and "save strats".

A monopoly isn't good for the scene, it's just going to drive every other organization out because they can't compete with his money.

so much for rivalry only EG can afford dota teams now apparently. dota ded gaem heroes of hearthstone alive gaem. At this rate, games will be going until 2 AM local To be honest I think few can afford Dota teams because the prize pools are extremely high.
If we go back 2-3 years you saw so many organizations in Dota because a team would only cost them like $2000 a month in salaries and travel here and there.
