Great line-up of fantastic players. Would love to see them in the GSTL now.

maybe now with JYP, incontrol will improve just a little bit

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?

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 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?

Maybe now with the skill of "rational thought", you will figure out if your posts are necessary or even worth reading.

They need another Zerg, but I guess this is a good pickup.

I'm excited to see his play (haven't seen him before) and wish him the best of luck :3
T - Puma
Z - Idra
P - JYP
Sounds like a top team! The only thing I would add is me.

Yea he was and IS still mediocre in Korea.... in Code S? No, did he do anything special while he was in Code S? No he is mediocre... Sounds harsh, especially seeing as I am a big HuK fan but he is nowhere near top tier in Korea. Yea maintaining status in the best league in the world is definatly mediocre. To be the best you have to win it though consistently showing up an maintaining that level of status make him far from mediocre man.
To be fair Huk was one of the worst players in Code S. Hell, he didn't even qualify for Code A, he was given a spot. Any foreigner is going to be one of the worst players in Code S and probably Code A-- idra might do well because his zvt is very good.

Congrats to JYP and EG. Hopefully JYP can solve his vT problems in the SlayerS house. A 14 Loss streak against Terran is going to send him straight out of Code S if he doesn't get around to fixing it.
True. There's only room for so many threads.

Takes a special kind of person to go to a thread about an exciting anouncement and hate on the team when its clear you're just a hater.

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.

I want to see EG in the GSTL so bad now. They have the sickest line up. Huk Idra JYP Puma and Demuslim. I think they would be able to compete very well with the other Korean teams.

EG's last acquisition was HuK..

Oh man I love this, EG's line up is looking pretty scary right now. I wonder if EG is going to enter the GSTL, they most certainly have the team for it, and with DeMuslim going over, have their players there for it!
EG FIGHTING!

this was a bit too obvious especially after the IdrA comment about EG only picking up established players.
|
Cool! Best of luck to JYP and EG !
Man EG are looking scary ^^
