I had actually expected a korean Zergplayer... However JYP is a nice sign I guess but damn I would have loved for IdrA to get a korean friend! :D

on topic of JYP.... Man is he ever terrible against Terran... how can someone have such good winrates versus two races and be so horrible against the third? Hope he can learn better with Huk/Puma than he did in the other place. I guess he will have Slayers to practice with too

I like the photoshop of his head onto an EG players body the most about this announcement


I think I like EG claiming to be "... a world leader in esports." more

Cocky a la EG

EG is over a decade old, has numerous large corporate sponsors, and has top players across multiple esport titles, what else would you call them besides a world leader?


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.



Way to dodge the entire question. You were presented with counters to your claim and what you have to show is nothing. Good job.

Nice job JYP. But you're still not as cool as Hero though.


Shame he's Protoss. If he was Terran that would have been excellent.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

lol, if he's going to living in the slayers house... that means slayer's protoss lineup will be: huk, jyp, alicia, puzzle, and brown.
holy, shit

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

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.

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...

September is quite some time ago sir. Notice how I said "as of late", I myself am a MKP fan and he is a fantastic player. But I would say with how things are going recently, he is not a tip top pro with the likes of MVP and MMA. His recent Code S runs have been eh, and his performances at the last two MLGs were bleh.

Man, EG is really going to be a force if they participate in the GSTL. Maybe one more Korean (doesn't have to be well known) just for some depth, otherwise they have a really strong team.

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.



Sooooooooooooooo ignorant omg.

I'm sad about them signing a protoss instead of zerg, felt they could have used a korean zerg more. Oh well, gz, hopefully he'll help out EG protoss and help EG's zerg's zvp

I guess the big question is where he'll train. the teamless Koreans that get picked up by foreign teams often seem sorta like the lone wolf types who are breaking out of the Korean team house system. Seems somewhat unlikely that he'll be in the slayers house. How long are huk and Idra going to be there?

He's friends with Puma. He'll probably go live at the Slayers house.

Actually, because of the SlayerS/EG partnership it's pretty likely that he'll be in the SlayerS house....

Very excited to see how this helps EG as a team and JYP as a player. Another smart move by Scoots and Garfield.
