Crazy how Hellbat drops are still cost effective despite only being able to drop 2 now

He was locked out from the signup and took over an account of a teammate.

Well, your opinion matters about as much as everyone else. Which is to say, very little. Alex Garfield will let Incontrol know when he isn't doing well enough, but right now I think he is fine. He ripped through the winners bracket until top and he got beaten out by a very aggressive player who might be pretty talented. that's kind of bad for someone who has played professionally since release but whatever, you will spin his results anyway you want and no one can say anything to convince you otherwise, meh Its ok, you just want to hate on Incontrol and call him a talentless player who should just call himself a caster and little is going to convince you otherwise. regardless his results aren't good for someone who has been living in a pro house and on the biggest team in sc2 since the early days, just saying ROI, just saying.

Dunno, sometimes I think that certain decisions - especially when it comes to keeping the current roster - is more based on friendship than anyone else, see how long Tyler, Haypro and Jinro managed to leech off Liquid... I'm sure friendships and team loyalty has some part in it. Alex doesn't strike me as some ruthless venture capitalist who is only interested in profit, as long as the team is doing well I don't see a problem keeping people who may not be top level players but have a lot of history with the team and are good people. I wonder why AxSlav was released... I can't imagine having a professional MLG caster would've ended up doing EG much harm. :/
He was already on iS when he was signed by MLG.

Hellbats... Ridiculous how much damage they can take

Well, he was released prior to working for MLG, so there is that.

I'm well aware of this. Maybe EG should've been a little more patient with him, is what I'm suggesting.

And that's what nony should had done in game 1. Not looking for crazy compositions to stop mech, but stopping mech from getting that composition

lol, well that's kinda awkward. on the other hand, not very smart of MLG to not give a guaranteed spot to a rather high-level progamer.

Because Fruitbasket is not him, but a friend (or a fan) of his, who gave him his spot after disappointedly realizing that the top 5 GM account on Korea wasn't invited to play (he signed up, but MLG didn't pass him through check-in).
That shouldn't be a problem in of itself, but apparently they did it during the tournament, after his friend already finished the first round.

Perhaps they missed on a nice casting prospect then. They may not have though he had the abilities he does.

This is not the thread for it, but I daresay it is possible to consider Axslav's hiring by MLG a rather large surprise. In any case, if one looks at stream numbers for rules of engagement and compares them to Incontrol's stream, it becomes clear that the two are not very comparable.

Exactly. Nobody is saying that iNcontroL is a good player, but he and IdrA might very well be the two most valuable players in NA. Regardless is their results they both have significant personalities, and i bet that they have more marketing value than even most of the Koreans.

Because two still instantly kill workers right after beeing dropped off. With four it wasn't stronger against worker but it was almost impossible to get rid of the hellbats .
