Announced by Tasteless on the GSL stream. Not officially announced yet by EG.

Interesting choice from IdrA. I guess he believes EG is the most solid organization out of the foreigner teams.

EG most solid foreigner team? I think not.
lost 1-4 vs root gaming and their best player is... oh wait they don't really have anyone

I was expecting Idra to go to coL seeing as how EG already has a bunch of SC2 players.

No offense, but none of them perform well in tournaments incontrol just started doing well (at mlg) and inka just started performing well in ladder from what I've seen.

Other than that. Beta and release haven't seen much from eg besides show matches.

I didn't say SC2 team. I said organization. EG as an organization, have been around for a long time. much longer than the other teams (except for those like SK).

I don't want to say that Idra is "misunderstood" and have that taken the wrong way. I think people interpret Idra saying something insulting as him hating the person he says it to, rather than him simply raging.

one thing that does work with this is that EG can and will pay for just about anything (and they obviously dont mind their players losing either) also could the prince have something to do with it? (he does seem to like EG lol)

EG was pretty much the last team that I would expect Idra to join.

Yeah i know thats why i thought we might see Idra join a team like SK. they have a lot of money to give out and to recruit a high level team with a good amount of money. Either way we shall see what pans out from this and if he wins some tournament it doesnt matter much at all, just having a solid team behind him to practice.

i hope this isn't true. EG's sc2 team isn't that strong. They have an awesome 1.6 team and they have grubby <3 but, sc2 is lacking.

Is this a Joke?

Kinda reminds me when Carlos Tevez (a real good football (called soccer in US)) joined West Ham United when he shoulda joined one of the top four clubs (Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea)

Why people is complaining about the players in EG? Yeah, maybe they aren't that good, but as long as they provide good support to Idra, it really doesn't matter where he joins. (Flights,salary(?), etc). And im 100% sure IdrA chose EG because he got a good offer/contract.

He can practise with Korean players, he really doesn't need any help from EG players. The skill level between is huge.

EG is a pretty good choice. Like GTR said, the SC team is pretty shitty, but their CS (counter strike) is top notch.

I think EG making a korean division makes a lot of sense. I can't imagine Idra going back to the US. Competeing in stuff like MLG rather than the GSL? Not gonna happen... Maybe if Torch does well, he'll hop on board with Idra too.

I think this is a good move from EG. IdrA has pro-house experience,so him being a manager he can help build up their sc2 division. IdrA said he would love to be a coach after he finished playing, so maybe he can do both at EG.
