Disclaimer: I am pulling for EG so hard you have no idea, but it won't seem like it in the following post.
Two all kills following two dominant wins themselves. People seem to really blow up just because EG is seen in a much more public eye, but like Catz said, people have off days.
People have off days, yes, but that excuse is running thin. No doubt EG are a talented bunch of guys but I am frantically searching through past threads and I can't find a single instance of EG beating a competent clan. Here's my very imprecise and unscientific compiling of EG's past performance, compiled by searching for "EG" in the title of TL threads. I also looked in GG.net's clan database but it didn't have any additional matches.
EG 2-4 rS (link)
EG 3-4 root (link)
EG 0-4 fnatic (link)
EG 4-2 vT (link)
EG 0-4 NrG (link)
And of course there's the MLGs, where no one in EG placed in the top 12 in Raleigh or at DC. Besides Idra, of course!
EG is awesome and its players are awesome but there should be no illusions about this and other results being caused by "off days", unless every day is an "off day".

You don't mean to be a dick but the way you write your posts suggests otherwise, you could easily ask the same question in more polite ways then telling them they should all get kicked off the team. I don't know exactly the logistics but a team manager probably doesn't have the power to make any contract moves but could influence management. Two all kills following two dominant wins themselves. People seem to really blow up just because EG is seen in a much more public eye, but like Catz said, people have off days.
Completely agreed. The EG team is a bunch of great players who are very active in the community. I have tons of respect for them, and they are one of my favourite teams. It's a shame that EG is so popular at times because everyone has such high expectations, you guys need to chill out a bit. It's the same as the qq over TLO's early entrance from Blizzcon and GSL- you really can't expect them to win everything, especially in such a volatile atmosphere as a clan war. Two losses is really no reason for the management to re-examine their players, the players will practice as hard as they always do- if not harder.
Imo, Fnatic, EG, Root, and I guess Nrg are very very close in skill levels. Thanks for the games guys

Here are a few more recent matches you forgot to mention:
EG 4-1 HG
EG 4-0 CNB
EG 4-2 Inflow
EG 4-1 myR
EG 4-2 vVv
Anyways, I have to give huge credit to NrG especially AhhBoxxah who played very well. He's a player that definitely should not be taken lightly by anyone in the future.
I appreciate all the support for EG and will be the first to agree that we haven't been performing up to par in our past couple matches. I am confident we will come back to form very soon though and hopefully by then we will be able to schedule a rematch Congrats on your win NrG! GG's

He said competent clans. No offense to those teams but I wouldn't call them top teams... Except Inflow maybe.

Regardless of whether EG has been winning lately or not, they have shown a high level of professionalism through the whole process. It was a treat dealing with such a classy team.
Thanks for the kind words Colbi

AhhBoxxah is the shit I'm stealing all his builds/play.

I didn't forget to mention those, it's just that there was zero coverage of those matches on community sites. Maybe part of EG's problem is that it isn't hyping up the matches it's winning

looking forward to see more ahhboxxah in Dallas !!!

Inflow, MyRevenge, and vVv are all legitimate teams.
And yeah, I'd love to see people get on TLO's shit for not having won anything since before joining TL, you won't see that happen any time soon.

No offense but that's exactly what everyone said about rS and NrG and guess what.

Those matches are covered on the EG site and if you look at all those thread you linked to, none of those were opened by EG. Why, because there is no need to.

Do you really want your argument in defense of EG to be "TLO sucks"?

That wasn't my argument, my point is that people get on EG for being a public figure that some support and others jeer.

Why can't the focus be on how fucking amazing AhhBoxxah played and not how much eg sucks. Man these are some sick replays. Boxxah didn't do anything gimmicky either he played standard and SO solid in every game and had 1 of every matchup (2 tvz's)
Game 1 vs Machine is an outstanding TvZ.
vs incontrol is a really sick back and forth game too.
|
Because it's obvious D-class trolling. These kind of trolls are pretty common after clan matches. They come in after a team lose and start shitting on them and start using the common phrase "I'm honestly rooting for these guys (NOT!), but they just suck. Let me tell you how much they suck because the other team was obviously bad.*pulls out a list of losses and forgets the other matches that happened in between*." You''ll get used to them as more CW threads get open.

Indeed, I was really impressed with his play last time I saw him play. I didn't think he was up to taking games of pros though, guess I was wrong!
As I said, I don't think these all-kills are truly representative of the respective team's strength; as the teams are soo close in skill, and the players so good a few breaks here and there result in a huge deficit. Could have just as easily been 4-0 for EG imo.

Not wanting to go to far off-topic, I'm gonna say I really think you should re-read some of the posts you are criticizing :/ I think that that motbob's post does a very good job of presenting his opinion in a non-trollery fashion.
Maybe I need to clarify my position though. Yeah, I guess I'm a Root fan because they have lots of Canadian players and I was just really impressed with their team when it first formed. However, iNcontroL, Lz, and inka do so much for the community through streaming, SotG, casting, coaching, ect. that I have so much respect for these guys. I find it really tough to pull for any top NA team because I'm a fan of so many of the players, so as long as they're smashing through the Europeans I'm good.
I really think you're making this argument in the wrong place.
|
I don't see why people feel the need to insult a team simply because its in a bit of a rut. Obviously Eg is a team who cares a lot about the community, and wants to bring good games to their viewers, so why is everyone so quick to turn their back on them? Its understandable that there are some fair weather fans in E-sports, but there is no reason to address their recent shortcomings with such hate.
