Uh... have u been living underneath a rock? IdrA and HuK just both won a MAJOR tournament within the past few weeks (Guangzhou & MLG Orlando respectively).

the EG hate from some people is getting pretty desperate to come up with bad things to say about them. They're good at what they do, they have assets that dwarf almost every other team. They have players that can compete wherever they go. Name me a team outside korea that is better all around than EG at the moment? I dunno if it can be done... its very simple facts...

super sick. Slayers is my favorite team and EG has some of my favorite players in it. Can't wait to see how this works out. ^_^ puma's tvt should become pretty scary while living in that house. I'm really curious to see how idra's zvt will change after going and living with the slayers team.

"Effective immediately, the SlayerS house will be the primary place of residence for EG.HuK and EG.PuMa, who will still train in the EG Lair - now powered by Beyond Gaming - prior to North American and European events."

If by 'better' you mean a team vs team in series, mouz has already beat them several times. Yes, they didn't have HuK and Puma but Mouz didn't have thorzain (not the first season or w/e it's called in EG masters) either.

But now with Puma and a certain Grack in shape EG looks stronger. Although Mouz still have more unknown talents yet to achieve a breakthrough. EG is just these big three really.

Wow, awesome news, but the MKP theory is still valid? If he would be able to train in the SlayerS house, he would get awesome training.

Several months ago EG wasn't even in the top 5 foreign teams. Anyone with money can easily "accomplish" what EG did in SC2 the last few months. Just contact the players and offer them more money than they could possibly hope to get anywhere else (which is also unfair competition as it fucks up other teams that can never afford such salaries).

If you expect an organization that buys their way to the top to be universally liked and respected, you're never going to get that. Even in football (the most popular sport in the world one, not the American one), rich upstart teams are liked by their fans, but hated by everybody else.

It's a trade they're consciously making - they're buying success and giving up some popularity and likability in return, and it's working out for them. Good for them. However, not everybody is going to like or respect EG unless they drastically change the ways they run their organization.

Deal with it.

It just forces sponsorships and money into the business. Whether it will come out a business dominated by big dogs who can back up their players with money, or whether small teams and organizations will still fit into the picture is a fine balance that occurs in every single similar business. Deal with it. Stop trying to validate the negativity towards something huge and exciting.
It takes +2 to tango

Virtually every team is buying their success. New talent is quite rare.

I recall your reactions to other teams buying good players has been quite inconsistent with your EG hate, how typical

I'm just saying but this 'partnership' seems nothing like QIM or Col.MVP. EG are simply staying in the SlayerS house there is no partnership going on such as. SlayerS members representing EG in foreign events and EG players playing as SlayerS members in Korea. This is simply an agreement to let EG members train in the SlayerS house and that's all.

if they pay Flash enough, he might switch. I mean, the only reason SC1 players havent yet switched over is mostly due to money


And fame, BW players get more recognition than SC2 players in Korean atm.
