gratz to JYP for the HUGE oppurtunity Their payroll is absolutely huge... but at least Puma has someone to talk to now in Korean haha
Yeah, he is not gonna be like someone from different cartoon, while visiting EG house in Arizona

are we reaching the point where foreign players will no longer be picked up by foreign teams? Seems like everyone is just going after the koreans now. Seems like another step toward koreans playing on a completely different level than foreigns, just like brood war

i know right- most of the people don't even know that EG has been around for a decade- its really annoying when people go around making ignorant comments

Called it! Awesome pickup, JYP is one of the most entertaining and skilled Protoss out there.

You scared? I am. of JYP and Puma yeah, not so much the others tbh This HuK and Idra are mediocre in Korea(Both top foreigners though...) 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.... 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.
lol. I guess Killer is amazing for getting Ro16 Code S because Protoss was 'terrible' back then.

Yeah, HuK was the first Foreigner to win against the Koreans in a major tournament. He is the only player to win two MLGs, and is the first Foreigner to take an MLG when the Koreans arrived. But those two tournaments do not match up to EVERY KOREANS achievement.
You can nitpick about him losing and you can show other Koreans that have better results then him, but he is one of the best Protoss players in the world, and can take series off of top name Koreans constantly.

Yeah, and neither was Boxer in MLG, but he always had amazing runs. He is sometimes still not considered a favorite.

I think Hero is a much better toss than both Huk and JYP but we shall see...
JYP showed his stuff a little but hopefully he can just get better
Once again, a large chunk of the recent games HuK has played against HerO he has won. MLG Hero cheesed him both times, and I am pretty sure, do not quote me on this, HuK's last tournament he played against HerO he beat him too.

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.
Ofcousre it can be debated, but that's not the point. If you were in their position, why would you market yourself as anything less. EG has proven to be robust at marketing and the tag line "World leader in esports" is consistent with that.

Yeah, except the fact that once he got in code S, it was quite easy to stay in there.
They made it much more strict for this upcoming season and he is out on first try with the new system

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. Ladder ≠ Lan, next please?
If we're talking about recent LANs....he took 2nd place at WCG Korea losing to MVP 1-2 in the finals. Since September he is 24-8 in LAN matches...

What you wrote makes no sense at all. EG easily has more money in SC2 than any other team, and probably other ESPORTS as well. It would be stupid to not call them a world leader? Name a team that is more influential than EG in Esports other than maybe Korean SC1 teams

Can we petition him to change his ID back to Smart? (or better yet, Pooh) EGJYP looks really weird, EGSmart or EGPooh looks and sounds better imo. I like this kid though.

I like how people complaining about GM being bugged are the same people citing ladder results as a representation of being a top player.
