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?

PS. I only know Monster

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?
