Extremely difficult to compare the 2 based on results. Hero is in code A while PuMa is in code B, but PuMas won 2 NASL's while Heros won dreamhack... you could go back and forth forever. At the end of the day, PuMa has more than twice Hero's earnings in sc2.. so as you can see its pretty pointless going down this path. Theyre are both great.. one things forsure, we can look forward to more head to head matchups between the two. | ||

How many koreans are allowed in the team for it to still be called a foreigner team? It's weird saying "They are the best foreign team because now they have x and z who are both koreans." As far as I know FXO is like 50% foreigners and the management n stuff is foreign-based. Is that a foreign team / mixed team / korean team? Just wondering  Happy new year | ||

But if for instance they only have koreans in their sc2 squad, you can say: EG is a foreigner team with a korean sc2 division. | ||

That's a retarded way to measure skill. Do you realize that if Hero loses his next bo3 he is out of code A? Would that suddenly make him a "code B" player inferior to every other player who is still in the GSL? | ||

Yes, first everyone thought about JYP, because he was teamless, but after the silhouette it was all about grubby,moon,boxer and savior^^ and you might have missed the TL-thread about Zenio, lol but what do you mean with "knows how EG works"? One didn't need to read a bunch of opinions on dozens of posts to figure out it was JYP. Since the release of SC2, EG has never once signed a players 'cause of his potential or personality. Leave the whole "he fits perfectly into our team strategy and shares the same thoughts we do as to what the team goals and direction is" easy and politically correct kind of talk out of this. They sign players based on a combination of two things: accomplishment history and popularity. Look at their signings previous to JYP. IdrA, DeMuslim, Puma and HuK. IdrA was at the time by far the most well known and achieving foreign player in SC and a pivotal figure in E-Sports. DeMuslim is a legend in the whole RTS genre. Puma had just won the NASL Season 1 and HuK has always been a fan favorite plus he is an excellent player. This being said, what I meant with "this is how EG works" is that they don't look at expenses to make the best move marketing wise. They want EG to be at the top of the most of the revelant E-Sports related competitions. JYP was the only player that made sense for them to adquire at this point. Moon is back playing WC3 and has no accomplishments in SC2. Killer is in Code A and it would be an enormous risk to sign him provided he could easily fall into Code B. Grubby is a foreigner version of Moon. And when I say "marketing wise", I they don't take chances on players that can someday be good. They bet on sure things and safe values so that they can keep EG's name at the top. And before you start ramparting on me, I don't mean to say this is an incorrect or less noble managing strategy. This is the path they chose and thus far they've had tremendous success with it. There's nothing wrong with signing the best players. | ||

Alone DeMuslim is a legend in the whole RTS genre is laughable, especially in contradiction to the rest of your post. It doesn't make any sense. | ||

For all the flak EG gets for picking up proven players, I don't see TL getting the same response despite doing the exact same thing. | ||

You realise that Moon came second at Dreamhack Winter and has better achievments in SC2 than Demuslim? | ||

Even though im a big TL fan i can't deny that this was one of the best things that could happen too EG. Probably the best free agent player/protoss put there. Another thing i noticed with TL and EG is that EG is a much more balanced team(in tearms of race distribution). EG has 2 terran, 4zergs and 4 protosses. TL on the other hand has 1 terran, 2 protosses and 5 zergs. I think TL are waiting for a good terran to be available beofre they counter pickup. | ||
