Demuslim haven't seen enough of really, though from what I've seen ehhh mid tier foreigner. JYP Scary as fuck PuMa Scary as fuck HuK and IdrA have done as much as PuMa. Especially in GSL. I don't know how you can call 2 players that have consistently been Code S when they've played in Korea 'mediocre'. Whilst one that hasn't even qualified for Code A yet 'Scary as fuck'. HuK has done nothing in code S and is currently not in Code S... IdrA was in Code S way back when, we shall see what he can do now.... PuMa has won back to back NASL JYP is in Code S and one of the best up and coming protoss players in Korea.... If Idra makes it out of his group or HuK can make it back into code S I may change my opinion but as of right now I seem them as mediocre in Korea. IdrA has won IEM, IPL, Assembly, MLG, placed ro8 code S and won a bunch of other tournaments. HuK has won Dreamhack, MLG twice, Homestory placed ro8 code S and won a bunch of other tournaments. Both have taken down some of the best players in the world. The likes of MC, Bomber and NesTea. How is that mediocre? Some people. Even Idra himself said competition at IEM was meh. IPL was ez mode. he placed ro8 in Code S so long ago the game wasn't even developed enough for their to be a skill difference.... same with HuK's first MLG win. Taking a couple games off top players here and there does not equal being a great player... winning consistently does and neither of them can say that they have. As I said they are easily some of the best foreign players, but in Korea skill wise they are mediocre....
What has JYP done in Code S? What about Puma? If you honestly think making ro8s is "mediocre" then I guess everyone except MVP is terrible.
You also seemed to forget to mention that Zerg was terrible when Idra was in Code S, so an ro8 is pretty impressive to be honest.

Oh, many things really.
But as I said, I like the cocky style from EG. It goes with their image.
The world leadership can be debated from several angles, considering many feel that teams in general are maybe the weakest link in the whole esport scene 2011. That EG feels that their team is strong enough to be a world leader within esports is interesting and hopefully more than just a slogan.

Demuslim haven't seen enough of really, though from what I've seen ehhh mid tier foreigner. JYP Scary as fuck PuMa Scary as fuck So much falsehood it makes my brain hurt. Watch Demuslim's stream sometime, just because you don't know he's a great player doesn't mean he isn't. And HuK & Idra are 2 of the few foreigners to ever be in Code S, it's a very small club. Saying they are "mediocre" is pretty ignorant and silly. I actually completely agree with the guy that said Idra and Huk are mediocre by Korean standards. Get your definitions straight. They key here is "in Korea" or by korean standards. If they're not mediocre, what are they? Are they on the level of top korean pros, such as MVP, Nestea, MMA, MC, Leenock, DRG and Foxer? Or maybe you call top level all of the players in the GSL? Because I don't. I call the best players in the GSL top players, the medium level mediocre players, and the lower level low level. I don't think anyone but their biggest and most blind fans would say that they are on the level of top korean pros (my definition), as they clearly are not. Their results are also such of typical mediocre korean pros - What does Idra have accomplished in the Korean scene? One Ro8 a long time ago is the best I can think of. And Huk? A Ro8 again, plus a few of seasons in which he did not fall off of Code S. Clide didn't fall out of Code S for many many seasons, is he a top korean pro? I don't think so. You can call Huk consistent in GSL, but you cannot call him anything more than a mediocre performer by korean standards. Sure, if you look at them by foreign standards, they are at the top. But korean standards is way different. You still consider MKP a top Korean pro? Uhhh.....why wouldn't you? As of late? I would not couple him with names like MMA MVP DRG. He is an amazing player yes, but he has been kinda "eh" these days.
Well I guess being #2 on Korean GM with a 80% win rate over 350 games means nothing then.

As long as this means more good protosses to foregin tournaments i am pleased

SC2 pro scene kinda sux with all this switching from one team to another that often, but I understand EG has no fault there. I just wish pro gamers were more stable/loyal like the ones in BW.

Ladder ≠ Lan, next please?

I wonder how much Idra's man crush on JYP had to do with them seeking him out.

I think eg is going to end up with an all korean super start lineup- they have puma, now jyp- all they need is a zerg now! Wonder who its gonna be...
gratz to JYP for the HUGE oppurtunity

Only player I've seen constantly switching teams, is Naniwa. Other than that, I haven't seen anyone being in more than 2 teams (which is fine, 1 up and coming team, then get signed by a big team).
On the other hand, EG is a market powerhouse in USA and perhaps in Europe as well. And they tend to pick up and coming players, like Puma, when he was signed, he wasn't so hot, and now he's awesome. JYP is quite good, but he hasn't shown any results (yet). He will, no doubt, now that he has so much support from EG.

EG/Slayers are going to own in the upcoming year. Looking forward to 2012.
