Can't say I dig TLO's beard. He has a handsome face!


It is a pretty handsome beard as well, to be fair

Hope he dosn't trim it before he wins a tournament.. When he does finally take a tourney, it's going to be so much more awesome for him and everyone ::-)

His beard is already well groomed (trimmed) I think you mean you hope he doesn't decide to thin it out. You have to trim a beard at least once a week or else it gets out of hand, fast.

I am also really not sure about this apology. You surely can apologize if you feel this write-up is not your best work (the no-name section is really not good), but to apologize to EG for your opinion is rather strange.
Well, maybe if TL wants to have only neutral news in the future and no opinion pieces, but that seems rather boring, as Chill pointed out nicely.

So why exactly stating the facts are incorrect or wrong? I mean opinions can be biased and completely wrong like "baaah Idra has gotten worse" which is maybe true maybe not, it depends where you look it from. But the fact that aside from the 3 mentioned players from EG and maybe Demuslim the rest aren't even remotely close to being on an even "decent" level. But I don't think this is new to anybody, because I'm sure the players themselves know that too. I think the team house is nice and all, but some people just aren't meant to compete on the highest level. Just look at the BW pros, they don't even have excuses because everyone practices 12 hours, so how come one guy has 35% win rate and the other has 65%? People should realize that not everyone is capable of being a top player even if every condition are given to him.

Yeah, that's kinda the point...

The general consensus among people here, including both EG and TL representatives, is that a staff-posted and featured front page news article is not the appropriate place for inflammatory opinionated. If he posted that tirade in the blogs section, very few people would care. The entire controversy was about how his subjective opinion was featured in a "news" piece.

Personally, I would say Anaheim/Columbus were the better events, just in terms of the crowds.. Im terribly biased in this though, as active crowds make up alot of the experience for me, even when i'm watching it online

I don't think Gatored gets enough credit. They say "losses to Gatored and dde when you live in a team house are hard to justify." I believe him beating Ganzi and Axslav both 2-0 should at least get him some recognition.

Can someone tell me why Boxer vs Rain's 1-hour game won an award while Tod vs Happy Game 1 at Dreamhack was panned by the casters and the community for being a long and boring game? In both games, both players macro'd up and didn't attack or only attacked sporadically without any major commitments.

Aside from the author being an obvious fanboy of Boxer?

Yeah I thought so too. That's pretty awesome. But unfortunately I only recognize 3 out of 5 people. Who is the leftmost guy and the smoking girl?

This whole post is dribble. Leenock being middle of the road....e-sports crumbling around you? This whole article was just bad....that stuff about eg? TL needs to look at what people are posting.

I'm not sure why the fuck EG House is a bad thing just because EG players except the stars are in a slump recently. They have a lot of sponsors because of High personnaly players like InControL, IdrA, Demuslim and HuK, therefore they have the money to own an house, therefore the House is bringing them more publicity, therefore the house is bringing probably more sponsors.

If it's a good thing for them and if they are streaming more because of this, they will make themself an even bigger name because of it. If they get a bigger name, they get more followers and fan... and that's a great thing for the team, and for eSports.

So... why the fuck should we shit on them just because they have a team house? I don't get it.

Let's be completely honest here

HuK was produced by oGs, not EG by any stretch of the imagination, and he has only seemed to do worse since leaving the oGs house.
PuMa was pretty much produced by TSL and bought by EG
Neither of them has ever really lived in the EG NA house such that you can say they've improved their play for it
The peak of idra's sc2 career was in his time in korea, he isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it's hard to deny he has gotten worse relative to top players since he moved to the team house (read: moved out of korea)
The house has not helped anyone else, every other EG member has produced 0 results despite being there for quite a while
The house obviously costs a TON of money to upkeep, while producing basically nothing better in comparison to if it wasn't there

I really commend EG for trying, but after this long it's not shocking that people have started to realize it was a bad business decision, I can't help but agree with this article

Haven't they only had their house for a month or two now? Pretty sure IdrA's won several international tourneys since then, Puma's placed highly, and HuK's done his share of winning too. Since HuK and Puma have spent several weeks each in the EG house, nothing you said is really that fair.

Yeah, EG acquired played they didn't develop, but when they started their acquisitions they didn't even have a house, a presence in Korea, or any semblance of the things that breed winners. And when you say the house hasn't helped them win any more than they did since they moved or joined EG, what's to say it hasn't helped them maintain their skill level? All three of them are still beating Koreans regularly despite the fact that said Koreans live in pro-houses, so from what I see they're keeping up at the very least which is a lot more than everyone else. Nani is the only relevant player on coL now, top EU players like Sjow, Whitera, etc. haven't won anything in a long time, TL's players are struggling to make top 8 in tourneys, and so on.

Objectively speaking, EG has been the most successful foreign team by a pretty significant margin for a while now so it's pretty confusing that they're the center of criticism.
