I think a lot of people are disappointed in the announcement, but remember, EG barely did anything to hype this up. They tweeted that they'd be signing a player, and gave a few clues. That's it. The rest is just stupid hype that you yourself made up, and it's terrible that this manifests itself as hatred for EG. Calm down.

I love how people are disappointed again. This time really all the hype was created by this thread. What do you expect, the archon of Flash and Jaedong?

I expected them to fuse flash and jaedong into an archon, thus creating the best SC2 player ever: EGFlashdong

JYP is the best protoss player worldwide imo.

so much hype for an average korean? sad

There wasn't even much hype. A tweet and a silhoutte the day before the announcement. TL essentially did the same with Zenio. It is the right amount of hype imo

EG has a new star. Idra was the star not so long ago. Time changes and EG grows. Now if only TeamLiquid would grow as well.

I'd say Idra is still the superstar of that team... arguebly not in skill, but his popularity is close to unrivaled in the whole SC2 scene

Not until he figures out vT. Hopefully training in the SlayerS house will fix that.

I know he's really good, just not that exciting of an addition IMO. Certainly not worth 148 pages of rampant speculation and hype.

Hype from the community pleases the sponsors, who become more willing to support teams and players, who can enjoy higher standards of living and spend more time practicing. EG also now has more Code S players than some Korean teams. Nothing against Moon or Grubby, or even WC3 in general, but those two players would not have significantly bolstered EG's SC2 lineup (both are too inconsistent, but Moon has shown promise) other than publicity.

Congrats to JYP and EG!

His name is in spelled the way EG has it on Liquidpedia and TLPD so I highly doubt they got his name wrong.

People are so ignorant. In Korea, the surname comes first in names (Park). JYP's given names are Jin Young.

This is why his ID is JYP.
