Ahh I see, it makes sense. This is all part of EG trying to maintain a foothold in Code S so they are willing to pay money for Code S spots for example huk and JYP.

...If you really think EG only offered the JYP the job after/because he got a spot in Code S, you are an overly cynical individual.

I see EG dominating the sc2 scene in the upcoming year. People who discredit them because they "bought" players are just jealous that their favorite team cannot afford to buy good players.

You scared? I am.


The only players there that are considered "scary" in the korean scene, are Puma and JYP, although theyve never done well in any top Korean tournaments, theyre still good players. Can they all kill a Korean team though? No. They're no Dongraegu.


PuMa hasnt done much in the Korean scene.. hard to argue against that. But he did have an all-kill once in the GSTL. PuMa will be putting more effort into competing in the GSL (hes only tried to qualify once before this) so we'll see if he can make it through the qualifiers and get code A.

Puma did great in GSTL with TSL beating a lot of code S players. He also all killed Air Force Ace when he was in Sparkyz

That's just the natural evolution of sc2 - or competition in general. There will always be escalation. All teams will shift towards recruiting Koreans.. practically all the top foreign teams have Koreans (except for Mouz).. would be odd to not expect this to continue.

Noob post tbh. Look at roster. EG doesn't even try to win anything, playing Machine, InControL and Axslav a lot. Sometimes its not about winning. But truth is if they want to now they beat all foreign teams easy and do very well against top kor teams. Should join GSTL

well it's quite logical. There's not so many foreigner players, that would be able to compete even in Code B. And those who would be able to, want their moneyz. On the other hand, there's so much Korean players, that are on the same level as top foreigners and they are much much cheaper. It's just logical. And btw, JYP is so good, I am glad he joins EG, he could be one of the best protosses around, if he works on PvT...

Congrats on the pick up JYP. I sort of expected it considering that he was no longer on a team, and it obviously a fantastic Protoss. Speaking of which, does anyone else find it weird that the two most recent players EG has signed are both Protoss?

Are some people really complaining that EG is able to pay the pros a good amount of money?

Complaining that some of the players that work so hard are able to get a decent salary?

This isn't baseball, these aren't 100 million dollar contracts, these are guys that work hard trying to make a living doing what they love. If EG is able to give players the salary they are looking for then don't bash the team for picking up great players.

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


Medicore in korea? This is huk's first season out of code s in a looooooooong time


You could be mediocre and stay in Code S for a LOOOOOONG time because of the way the system is setup. That is why they changed recently changed it. Definitly dont agree that Huk is mediocre. Hes a very, very good player but not top tier korean if thats what he meant by mediocre... In fact Idra, Huk, and Puma are probably at the same exact level right now as far as I'm concerned. JYP is a step above them and definitly a sick pickup for EG. I think its safe to say EG #1 foreign team.
