Exactly. Good personality, worth the pay I'd say.

Indeed. Like I said earlier guys, this happens all the time in PL when it comes to the draws and ace match. This won't be the last time you question the decisions.

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.

I didn't see JYP scout the blink build. What exactly did he see? 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.

Team submit their players to the referees when the score goes 3-3. However, most teams already have Ace player preparing for the map and possible opponents before hand.

Hopefully the NHLPA do dissolve and we get rid of the salary cap so more teams fold and we can overpay more guys just to make the first round of the playoffs again like old times. BD

The TC was cancelled at about 75% (or greater) completion.

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.

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.

They also try to buy players right as they've peaked.

Which is the time that they're the most marketable.
As a business, EG is doing pretty well, regardless of how they're doing as a SC2 team.

Hey the Habs and Leafs would both benefit with no salary cap.
