I see a lot of their members in all kinds of "shows" where they are strongly opinionated, critique other teams/players and make predictions for upcoming events. This is just so dumb when they never seem to deliever in major events. I perceive team EG as an organization centered around having "profiles" who, in my opinion, get a lot of undeserved attention. Controversy creates cash, and EG is good at creating cash. In Idra's case tho, I think he's starting to be a burden for his team. Oh, I'm sure he's still an asset to have for a team, financially speaking, but sportively, how can your teammates support you after all those "appearances" in team matches ? At first, EG communicated a lot on "We're working on his mindset, he's improving". Now it's obvious that not only it didn't worked, but it's even worse than before. It seems he plays the game with the enthusiasm of construction worker in winter. Saying the game is trash, imba, terrible...ffs he's in the Slayers house, this is giving jam to a pig >< I wonder how the business side of all that is going. Because EG can't really "fire" him (I'm not saying that they want to fire him), he's too much the face of the team. I wonder if Idra knows that and abuse it, and that's why he does the strict minimum to justify his salary. Last year, Idra was still a good candidate to represent a product in an ad for instance, now, which company would want him to promote his products ? "Hi, I'm Idra. With the Kingston HyperZ Ram, I can gg 17% faster". | ||

Say they're doing poorly in the last few matches. Do not say they aren't trying. | ||

The IdrA fanboys who rabidly attack anyone criticizing him even if it's a legitimate argument. Or the IdrA haters who purposefully baited the fanboys into a reaction. | ||

I feel EG should look at this as an opportunity to stop buying members and train the ones they have (bar IdrA, who's one of the worse players atm) addtional lol: Idra always calls euro players trash, I guess he got a little trashed tonight (YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH) | ||

With the Kingston HyperZ Ram, I can gg 17% faster". Idra fan club has more views and posts than anyone else on these forums. when he streams at a reasonable NA/Europe hour he gets 10k viewers easy. The guy went from being 'the only hope' of non-Korean zergs to 'the greatest marketing vehicle' in the SC scene. And the people who pay EG to use their gear wont care about his performance as long as the performance is relatively solid. Michelle Wie still stars in commercials and its been almost 10 years since she tried -- and failed -- to compete with men at golf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Wie | ||

HuK hates playing with any lag, so unless it would be KR server he would not play. I believe this is why he has mot been playing in clan wars much, if at all. I don't remember him playing in one for Liquid either. | ||

And about EG, even though i dislike the whole team, i think that these few bad performances doesnt make them all that bad. Every player has his slumps, teams are the same. Performing bad at NASTL doesnt suddenly make them bad, also wininng one league or tournament doesnt suddenly make them number one. People make too much of a deal from a realtive low number of games. All in all EG is very solid and stacked team, not the best and not the worst as always. Whats important to note, is that EG doesnt have team spirit as mouz or empire. I mean can You imagine Thorzain or Kas refusing to help his team because of latency? I cant. And its obvious that EG was on the ropes (0-3) before this match and needed any help they could get. Did arguably one their best players help them? Nope. They either lack the team spirit, or dont care that match about NASTL. PS. I am assuming its true what people say all over these team leagues threads--->that Huk doesnt play in them because he doesnt want too, i dont know if its a fact, but it sounds plausible. | ||
