Considering that Twitch has been sponsoring individual players, mostly in the FGC, I'm not as surprised by this as I should be. Maybe that it was EG that they acquired, perhaps.

I wonder if the internal structure of EG will continue as it is.

Everyone at Twitch is thrilled. Everyone at EG is beyond excited. So I'm happy.

So this is a good thing right? I didn't understand one bit of Alex' statement.

On an musing note, this means Idra works for Twitch too. Think about THAT for a while.

Why would Twitch as a broadcaster buy and support a specific e-sports team? Instead of producers of content like ESL etc?


GoodGame use progaming teams / Jaedongs as a platform to push their clients to prospective consumers. It's very similar to what Twitch does in a way. Alex Garfield has experience with pushing big brand names to gamers and has yet to get involved in an embezzling scandal, which makes him and his enterprise a very valuable asset for a company looking to sell advertising or products to gamers.
Look at it this way, we are the product and hyperx/monster/etc are the client. Admit it, you could name almost all of EG-s sponsors even if you are not a fan.

I just didn't think EG draws in that many viewers...but you are saying EGs sponsors will pay Twitch now? Do you really think that is effective?

that link reminded me of ThorZain.. he was one of my favorite players.

Anyone know what happened to him ?

Did he just loose interest and stop playing ?

I'll make a completely pointless prediction now: With this newfound financial status, we'll see EG roll out a Cardstone division in the near future (I'd say by June).

From what I understood, no. He's still the CEO, he's just not the majority shareholder any longer.
Who's the bigger scrub, the scrub, or the scrub who loses to him?
