After thought and discussion, I realize that section of the article was far too hasty. I've edited in a note to emphasize this is not the official opinion of TL, and that it is my fault as editor that it went out with a slant too heavy for a news piece. This should have been reviewed more carefully and been given a more fair look at the issue, this kind of cursory glance is certainly far from the kind of quality that I try to uphold when looking at events.

Gonna quote this and say that we added some words to clarify the EG part of the article.

You know, this wouldn't have been a problem at all, if there was no team associated with teamliquid, or if TL had been hadn't been TL at all, but some other massive fansite..

It's kind of a shame you can't have anything official on TL without it gettin' a huge "TL's team" thoughts sticker on it.

This EG/TL mini-controversy kind of reflects the dilemma that TL faces, as a team, community site and major news source (Kennigit spoke to it quite elegantly on the last SOTG).

It's rare in other sports for a team to shoulder the responsibility of marketing themselves AND generating content AND being the 'arbiters' of objective discourse. Actually it's less than rare. It doesn't happen.

While I can sympathize with EG's/InControl's annoyance, if you imagine that TL is just another sports media site (like ESPN) these kind of op-ed pieces are par for the course. People can and will say worses thing about EG.

The whole EG team house point is ridiculous, they've posted better results and are getting better, surprise surprise incontrol didn't magically become Flash in 3 months! off with all of their heads.

Grow up and stop senseless bashing. this shit has pissed me off even more than the rest of my shitty day.

Thanks heyoka for (hopefully) clearing up the discrepancies about the EG article and clearing up that TL doesn't exactly agree with the opinions posted by its writers, though maybe they should have had that disclaimer in the beginning, considering confusedcrib himself realized that he was about to be flamed.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the Leenoctopus and the photos ^^

How the heck is the The Great Bambino Milgie for Most Dominant Performance given to Naniwa in MLG Dallas 2011. Naniwa run through the open bracket to the finals was amazing but you forgotten to include that there was no Koreans in his path. The open bracket in Providence is way more stacked and tougher than in MLG Dallas 2011. Although Leenock did lose to DRG in the winners bracket, he crushes through Idra,Huk,MMA,MVP,Boxer,DRG and beat Naniwa in the finals which make him the only player coming out of the losers bracket to win the championship .To me that is way more impressive than Naniwa runs in MLG Dallas 2011.

Putting the drama aside the EG house point is really interesting.

I mean, 3 months is very early to expect results, especially since EG will be writing the rulebook for non-korean team houses. When they put the thing together I wasn't expecting good results until 2012 at the earliest. The improvement to Idra's mindset has been vastly beneficial which I think(?) can be attributed to the team house.

As someone pointed out, where is the coach?
Do they need one?
How much do they practise against each other vs watch each others play and suggest ways to improve?
We actually know very little about how they are running things and what kind of "team" they are. All I really know at this point is that they read a book.

I remember Idra commenting that he and demuslim don't play vs each other much since they run into each other in tournaments which seems kind of weird. I would think they would take a "we may run into each other, but lets try and both improve as much as we can and see what happens on the day" approach over a "but we may run into each other and then you'll know my supa gosu strat!" type thing.

As for people expecting incontrol to suddenly become gosu, how is that meant to happen? As far as I'm aware axslav is the only other protoss there to work with. Huk is in Korea most of the time, which means incontrol is left to his own devices when looking to improve his play.

It's too late, damage been done with the article. Teams really shouldn't be picking on other teams' houses.

Only Machine and Axslav's results are remotely explainable, with losses to Nestea, dde, Gatored, and Violet. Even with those two players though, losses to Gatored and dde when you live in a team house are hard to justify.

Who is GoSu.Gatored?


Perform well once, and it could be a fluke, do it twice, and you deserve recognition. At IEM New York, Gatored was able to take out Strelok, DongRaeGu, and oGsTop. At MLG Providence, Gatored took out Axslav and Ganzi, only losing to ViOlet and Leenock, two of the best players at the tournament. The guy is seriously becoming a PvT sniper, with his major tournament wins against Terran including Qxc, Strelok, Top, and now Ganzi. This guy is quickly gaining my attention for his results, and it would be a smart move to pay him more attention in the future.


My favourite part. I originally read this thread when it was much smaller and was pretty outraged at the bias in the article. Since then TL has distanced themselves from the opinion and it seems to have calmed down.

I still find it hilarious they criticise someone for losing to gatored and in the very next paragraph talk about how amazing gatored it.

Pretty pathetic idea to put in the piece about the EG team house...

They're the only team outside of Korea with a house so they have no model to work off and are testing it from scratch. If their players and team are happy with it then surely they alone can justify if it is worth it, I think it's important to note that EG make more money than other teams and therefore can afford this expenditure.

On top of this it allows them to give PuMa and HuK a place to stay while they are in the states, as an added extra LzGamer doesn't stay in the house and yet you bring his results in to question also?

Just.... poor journalism and completely out of place when considered with the theme of the overall article, would anyone have written this after Orlando where EG took 1st, 4th and 7th without having DeMusliM available.

Here's their team results, please show me any non Korean team that comes close...

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Evil_Geniuses/Results

What if I'd written a piece on DreamHack which half way through the article said "Finally a decent TL result" and went on to say utter crap that since Jinro won MLG Dallas nearly a year ago nobody currently a part of TL has done anything up to their level and multiple players of theirs have fallen off their peaks.

Would that get published?

It's all very well to put these editor and review notes as hindsight but if you state this is not the place for it, that it should be developed more than one paragraph and shouldn't have been put up in it's current form if it had been reviewed fully then why on earth have you not edited out the entire section?

EDIT: I've just gone and read over the last article you wrote (about the previous MLG) and in there you say the "winners" are EG and the "losers" every non-EG north american player. Have some consistency! Unless you fully expect EG to win every event where one of their players show up to you can't truthfully hold the opinions you do in both articles, can you?
