"OH GOT EG'S GONNA MAKE HIM MOVE TO AMERICA" Nah dog. Why would you leave one of the biggest eSports markets to come back to one that's barely on it's feet? EG's pretty vicious in their business decisions and isn't dumb enough to move him from a big market to a much smaller market. Plus they know their way around global eSports, Korea is to starcraft what Sweden is to counter-strike(which doesn't give korea it's due really, it's a whole 'nother level) - the mecca the place where the best of the best of the best of the best play. A great environment for their players - and they know it. They wouldn't move him from there. "WHY WOULD HE JOIN EG? THEY SUCK" It's about the cheddar - intel, kingston, steelseries, MSi, Gigabyte etc aren't exactly small sponsors when you look at their market share in their respective areas. Then you go to the fact that they aren't' slouches when it comes their roster: Justin Wong is bar none the best player in north american SF4, their CS team is the best team in North america and a serious international contender who just won their first international event over fnatic, Grubby is Grubby and Da_hang from their QL division gives rapha a run for his money. No slouches anywhere in the lineup. They basically have some of the best talent in every game they support. So basically l2westernesportsorganizations.PEACE..... ON TOPIC: I hope it's true that makes me smile. I remember thinking that no north american org would be able to really compete in starcraft only a year ago, but if EG gets Idra they really might be able to  | ||

Idra going to EG is a great choice because of how much they bring to the table. Best organization in North America by far and one of the best non korean pro gaming organizations in the world. Just because the SC2 team wasn't the best doesn't mean the organization doesn't have funding, they've been an organization for ages and locked down great sponsorships in their time like Intel. | ||

Pretty nice coup for EG to get such a top class player on your line up. Oh really? Says who? | ||

I'd bet strongly he comes back to the states. He won't come back to states any time soon. Idra has stated that 10000 times. GSL In korea > the best possible place for a progamer. | ||
