I didn't mean to imply that team loyalty is a bad thing, sorry if I worded that poorly. I was talking more about the "I'd rather quit starcraft than" bit. It seems anti competitive and I would like to see esports grow. Like I said I kinda of hoped that would maybe be a spark for Tyler and maybe TL as a whole. Have them out chasing down sponsors. If we started to tilt to the other extreme of like just 2 rich teams with all the top players I would start learning more towards being loyal to teams - particularly the smaller / growing ones.

I hope that explains it better.

Isn't it obvious?
iNcontroL arranged it all: the european terran player Nerchio is joining team EG because he won dreamhack summer. He also doesn't like the hellion change.

Man, usually I would not say anything here, but I thin DeMuslim is one of the nicest people there are and awesome to boot and your defense of your ignorant attack on his playing quality merits at least a little response.

Let us just check his history a bit. Oh, he broke his wrist. So he basically, for 3 months or the like, did not play any competitive Starcraft. That should put a dent in anyone' skill. Before his injury, he was one of the baddest ass Terrans in Europe taking third at IEM. Now he ran through the Open bracket and winning against big names like Tester, Ret, and TLO. He is tearing it up for EG in all the team matches and beat Rain to qualify for IEM. Not bad for someone who had his wrist broken and missed a large quantity of LAN's he otherwise would have played in.

I don't know who you think is good, maybe all you like to do is fairweather the top Koreans of a time, but as far as awesome foreigners go DeMuslim is one of them. He has so much skill and is just now catching up. You snort at 14th at MLG but that comes in ahead of people like Sheth and IdrA, and the Korean seeded Trickster. Maybe he is not S class, but he is better than most people, and I would definitely think he is good.

I'm not attacking the guy at all, i think he is a great person and i love watching his stream.

That being said, i stand by my point that i am not impressed with him skill-wise. Beating Tester is pretty impressive, yes....

But really, a Terran beating a Protoss these days, i'm not putting too much merit on that. It is my opinion, after all.

If it's an EG member then there best choice would be sase (assuming sase wants to stay in kr) because they will have Huk, Idra and puma there

As an EG fan i dont ever want to see Jinro on EG. Two reasons, one good and one bad depending on whether or not youre a Jinro fan.

1. Jinro has declined too heavily. If EG is going to spend the money, they need strong players that are putting up results worthy of the contracts theyre getting. Jinro has also admitted to being burned out and not practicing as much (You can find this information in his fanclub from Jinro himself.)

2. Jinro is definitely the epitome of "Good." It would be weird if he were on EG. I believe that despite his lack of recent success and practice, he will inevitably bounce back, perhaps stronger then ever. When he does he should represent Liquid - because its just so damn fitting.

Hmm, what has Tom Brady done lately since he hurt his knee in 2008? Yet people still consider him the best QB in the NFL.

Well...all he did last season was to put up better numbers than Manning has for 12 of his 13 years in the NFL.
Peyton Manning is no scrub so...yeah, I think you need a different example.

looking at carmac's pitchfork tweet. We need to think of people with names that have anything to do with pichforks, what does a pitchfork look like? an M, W maybe millenium's sign. also maybe they have a chinstrap with a line up the middle to look like a pitchfork, this is where we will find our answers
