Ocelote founded a new squad after SK fired him, bought LD's spot in the EU LCS, then LD's ex-players got poached by various other teams? That's the gist I seem to get from the posts here. And apparently we still have no idea what's up with Alternate, except that FLord seems to be retiring... | ||

The first try was to get incarnation in mid, but he wasnt unbanned after some tryharding on reddit and special website (http://www.incarnation-status.com/) | ||

But maybe you're right and their experience/teamplay will let them do well, also NA lcs is clearly weaker than EU lcs. There's the question of whether or not they can actually MAKE NA LCS in the first place. Since they're buying VES's spot, they're probably 95-99% going to face Quantic, now that CoL has been gutted by roster changes recently. Neither Coast nor Crs will pick Quantic with the other major threat out, so the question is: can an EG roster with krepo/yellowpete/Snoopeh beat Quantic? Almost certainly not, after the past few weeks of improvement for Quantic, and with such a late roster formation to boot. If not, they're in Amateurs until Summer. And skill-wise, they don't rank as highly. The NA Jungler talent pool is shallow, but not so for support/ADC. Yellowpete ranges from average to mediocre compared to the major NA ADCs in both LCS/amateurs (wildturtle, liftlift, robertoxlee, even otter, honestly. I'd probably place him in Sneaky-tier, or slightly higher), and Krepo doesn't stand out in particular. Snoopeh may compare better, but how much better remains to be seen. It's not like they're bringing a (major) EU mid laner to a roster (see Bjergson), which tends to be the heart of EU play. Not convinced at all. | ||

A few weeks ago I'd give the EG roster decent 50/50 odds, but Quantic has definitely improved as of late. They're at least NA LCS quality with the baron throws. :p But no srs they're prob the best amateur team except for MAYBE crs academy now. CoL still needs to recover from losing pr0lly and Laute, and that's not guaranteed. They're no longer near indisputably top of the amateurs, Quantic's in that position now. I suppose Lyon has a shot, and they're also pretty decently strong. EDIT: Right as I reluctantly defend KR overlords, they throw 2 kills and a dragon with that super early attempt. Hue. | ||

Though they'll have to face one of the other challenger teams (LoLPro is...for lack of a better word, pretty weak compared to the real powerhouses like CoL/Crs Academy, and yes Quantic). | ||

Thats what they pretty much are right now . I really think outside of Froggen and Wickd(to some degree) , EG guys are done . When I watch Snoopeh play I can see he is not a top jungler anymore , he was the worst jungler in EU LCS in 2013. Only reason he was good in S2 was because the jungle meta was so easy and so broken that anyone could play it .Krepo and Pete peaked during OGN Summer 2012 but ever since , they have been on steady decline (Pete kinda improved by the end of Summer split but not enough to be considered top tier). I dont have much faith in that team making LCS , I think if Quantic gets pass their opponents in relegations , they will be left for VES/EG/ALLIANCE and Quanitc will beat them since pretty much every player on Quantic is better then the opposite player(Maybe Pob is near same level as Suno).Those are my toughts on the whole situation . I like them as personalities but their prime time is over , no way they can compete on top level anymore .That Trio might just drag Pobelter and other guy down . | ||

Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things actually. They still have gigantic loyal fanbases. However, if they do not qualify for LCS, It is quite possible their fandom will take a significant hit. | ||

It already did take a hit , as you have seen in the poll for IEM Cologne , EG was not even close to Fnatic and Gambit who are way popular now because of the results. Fans are mostly bandwagoners and cheer for whoever does well and even tho they have loyal fans , those numbers are getting smaller.They used to pull crazy numbers(20+k) while streaming but now only Froggen gets pass 10k sometimes.While Peke gets 20k+ everytime and Cyanide is getting more popular alongside Rekkles and sOAZ. | ||

Obviously it is only a showmatch, but I dont see the profit in keeping silent for so long. | ||
