It's a stretch to call it a journalistic editorial. It's basically the written version of Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith. Facts, information, and opinions all mixed to varying degrees of success, accuracy, and fairness. EDIT: I think the editorial could have been a lot more effective if it were to analyze the flawed concept at the heart of EG (that the personalities are central to the team) and offer a solution or different way of looking at how to address the issue. People say things like "Cloud 9 is maxed on talent but a roster swap could hurt the team synergy more than it helps individual lane skill". I feel like EG is in a similar boat. They made a team that was built on the concept that if you brought hugely popular (and seemingly talented) players from EU to NA, then you could make a team that could compete and promote. Now they realize they can be popular OR talented, but not necessarily both. That's an interesting storyline, and the navigation of those issues would have made a great editorial. Instead, we got what amounts to an everyday forum/reddit post saying the team sucks and needs more roster swaps. Duh. | ||

Tbh they should just remove all his content from /r/leagueoflegends. It's only rarely worth your time. | ||

I still think they're worthy to be in the LCS and not a deadlock for last. The article basically says throw them out as soon as possible. EG right now isn't that good of a team but if you look at the NA LCS track record you can't really say they're worse than the rest of them. | ||

It'll be 50/50, you'll get half hyped as fuck French fans then the other half of British fans tutting at their chants and politely clapping after plays. Either it'll be posh or you guys will learn what a sports hooligan is (Fist fight between fnatic and alliance fans incoming) | ||

Crusader Kings 2 takes so much time investment, even though I love the game, I can't really recommend it to anyone. Unless you hate yourself. What EG article are you talking about? | ||

I actually do expect more from him then this. | ||
