It's about marketing, not in-game performance. Pretty much. Don't get me wrong here, Jaedong IS an amazing player, but his signing was still much more about the name and less about his prospective future in SC2. That's why he's being forced to stream random ladder matches instead of practicing, like he'd prefer. | ||

It's about marketing, not in-game performance. Exactly. EG isnt buying wins when it signs up new players or sets up things like a pro-league team. They are buying eyeballs and they do a hell of a job, even if most of their fans end up caught in a battered-wife syndrome with the team, "but they just need stephano and then they will definitely finally win something" | ||

On a side note, it's getting really hard not to use adblock when I hear that same boppy Mini commercial every minute. | ||

If there was a twilight council cancel, I'd think players would be more aware of building cancel tactics and that he could adjust a little better. Puma and JYP seem to be lacking patience and trying stuff that is theoretically good but not right for the situation. High ground zealots were a nice idea, but those could have done more beating down immortal shields. On a side note, it's getting really hard not to use adblock when I hear that same boppy Mini commercial every minute. The TC was cancelled at about 75% (or greater) completion. | ||

You have a point, but lets not just single out Machine. You can say the same about TL's NoNy, or even Sheth for the past 9 months. Every team has underperforming players. EG is not unique in that regard. | ||

That's why he's being forced to stream random ladder matches instead of practicing, like he'd prefer. "Forced" lol. It's his employer. He's not taking up all his time streaming like Sea did in a way that would interfere with his real, confidential, practice. He streamed a little bit. He probably also goes to fan meetings and the gym. Does that mean he's being forced to sign autographs and lift weights instead of practicing, like he'd prefer? You're just putting words in his mouth. | ||
