His first vortex completely missed the broodlords in that game  His second one managed to get them all. He knew there was a mothership, and he saw it coming. And he knows the game is over if all his units get sucked in at once. ::shrugs:: Just saying. | ||

Ahh yea thats right, incontrol is funny......or somehing! You must be young because you have no idea how much it costs to run a business. Let alone a business in a small market like esports. Much less possibility of making money. Has nothing to do with skills. Players need to have value in order for the business or team to make back their money and pay the players. It's not that shocking that incontrol has a higher value for EG. | ||

Axslav FFEs, pylon blocks (+ fake cannon) Destiny's natural, but Destiny expands there after the pylon dies anyway. Bobby Lee from MadTV thinks Gretorp is Mexican. (I don't know either but that's what Gretorp is saying.) @ 8 minutes: Destiny takes a fast third and a double roach warren. Axslav goes stargate. @ 10 minutes: sling/ roach with fast upgrades barely holds off a big zealot/ void push. Spores are pretty good against void rays. Axslav ahead though. @ 12 minutes: Axslav takes pocket expansion. He has like a million sentries. Immortal coming out because he saw the mass roaches, but mainly mass gateways. Blink tech too. @ 14:30- A void ray killed an infestor, and the casters went crazy. @17:00- 150 supply each. Colossus tech and storm going down for Axslav. Burrow and hive and fourth being taken (top left). Fourth immediately picked off by Axslav warping in a round of zealots. @18:00- Spire going down, colossus and high templar out. Both players pretty much maxed. Axslav with the better unit composition by far. Axslav has the top middle base well defended. @20:00- Axslav pushes, engages better, rolls Destiny. "g" from Destiny. Final score: 3-1 Axslav. Congratulations!!!  Keep playing Protoss......silly biased man! | ||

I may be wrong though. | ||

Destiny made two roach warrens off 1 gas and spent forever not using them. Axslav was the better player by FAR and pointing that out isn't bias. Calling DarkPlasmaBall silly for LRing is beyond childish. If you think he's not doing a good job, take the time to do your own "unbiased" LR instead of shitting on his hard work. (I say this as a Zerg who likes both players) | ||

I just think its funny when he has that position considering how bad he is. Sad for a guy like Axslav but hey, life will never be fair. | ||

I like Axslav, I think he is a very good player and will surprise people this year. I also think that EG wanted to keep him, but didnt make as good as an offer as Reign. Also I believe Axslav used to live in San Jose before he moved into the EG Lair. The Reign house is very close to San Jose. | ||

Also I believe Axslav used to live in San Jose before he moved into the EG Lair. The Reign house is very close to San Jose. Axslav's parting with EG was decided before any offer from ReIGN. And EG did send him to events - he went to at least three or four MLGs as well as IEM NY for EG. EG is a team based on big name individuals and building those as a team, and Axslav is much more suited for ReIGN which gives him a solid practce environment with good players and gives him plenty of room to build up his skill and popularity. | ||

Ahh yea thats right, incontrol is funny......or somehing! Yeah, exactly. Part of being a successful team is having money, and getting money is entirely dependent on sponsorships. Popularity sells. This should be pretty obvious unless you live in a dream world. | ||

And about Axslav leaving EG instead of iNcontroL....there's more to it than just that incontrol is "funny" and that's honestly a pretty stupid thing to say... Really, even though Axslav is probably better than incontrol, they basically had similar results, according to their Liquipedia results pages. (In every tournament they entered, they were around the top 20-30). Except for MLG, which I don't think counts, since incontrol was seeded into the champ bracket automatically and Axslav had to go through the open. And if you check out interviews FROM EG's management, for example, an interview with SirScoots, he even says: "There's no harder worker for EG than Geoff, not only to make himself great, but to make everybody else great." There's more to getting a player than if he is good or not, it's also about what he can do for the team. If you check out the EG practice that is streamed very frequently, you can see how much all of the other players improve and appreciate his comments. If anything, they'll "promote" him to team coach or something. And while I agree they're not keeping him on for the results, to say that he's just "funny" is retarded. He's a guy who represents the team well, and he's a great asset to the players, both gameplay wise and yes, being funny to keep their spirits up. While I love both Axslav and iNcontroL, I have to say that Axslav leaving EG was probably a good thing for him. He will have way more exposure on RGN, which is still a growing team that hasn't really made their mark yet. Yes, you might say KiWiKaKi is on the team, and that makes the team already popular, but it's more like Kiwi is the only reason that most people even know the team exists at all. tl;dr: I agree Axslav is probably better than iNcontroL but there's more to this business than just signing the best players always and people can contribute in different ways. Axslav is probably better off in RGN and will get more exposure anyways. | ||
