No they allways win their 1st tourny after they join (Huk MLG,Puma NASL,Thorzain wcs sweeden) and then they start only loosing.
Yep, even Idra was doing really well for a while after joining EG, but now look where he is .
Lol, people still talking about the curse like it's actually a thing...
Hey, how about that Liquid Curse? NonY and TLO used to be so baller back in Beta, guess Liquid Curse made them bad. Zenio? Code S Korean before he got picked up, Liquid curse kicked him out. Jinro? Ro4 Code S, Liquid Curse took its toll, now he's retired.
NonY baller in beta? What the hell are you smoking?
TLO showed creative plays but I don't recall him winning a whole lot either.
The TL roster is just highly recognized names that these guys have known for quite a while.
Zenio has always been meh.
Jinro lost his passion for the game and should have retired a long time ago.
Look if you paint pretty pictures about yourself and keep trying to put shit down people's throats they're going to call you out on it.
EG may be able to buy players but they cannot buy championships.
I could go down the list and justify and rationalize everything we see if you want but that would be well over 5000 words.

When will people stop posting this shit
its not bullshit its basicly happened to all players that joined EG, but we will see if stephano can keep winning after this tournament.
Ok, how about enjoying the games instead of making predictions ? Who cares if he will fall down in a couple of months.. that means there will be other good players that will give us better matches . I respect him because he's a good player, don't like him being to arrogant, but we should try to focus on the actual quality of his game today, not 1 year after.

Double elimination really seems to eliminate some of the randomness and upsets that come from having random brackets to begin with.
True, but if we had triple elimination some of the guys that lost in the first round of losers bracket might still be alive.

Game 3 wasn't very good. It culminated in one mistake, which short changed the audience of what would have been a much closer and more interesting game. The other two games were excellent.

It has happened to almost every foreign player anywhere. What happened to Ret lately? What about all those other great foreigners consistantly winning tournaments? Nope... there are none. Stephano is the only one competing consistantly against the top Korean players. Naniwa has done quite well in the GSL but not elsewhere. Some Euro players did well in some tournaments but don't beat the top Koreans typically.

And lol at the balance whiners 340 APM vs 100 and its still incredible close Not that APM actually mean anything just goes to show how hard Stephano worked for his wins
Rofl, LucifroN was hovering 400apm against Socke you dimwit. Not like Mech is the most APM intensive strategy in the game.
Only one of three EG players qualify and the curse is bullshit?
Besides, the signs for the curse are that you win your first big tournament after signing and then fade out(HuK won MLG as EG, Thorzain won Dreamhack).

Naniwa dropped off after leaving quantic, quantic leavers curse confirmed.
