Always sad to see a player leave a team, especially core members like these. I, however, can see why EG made the decision they did. Best of luck to EG and both Axslav/StrifeCro in the future.


You probably should have left that part out as well. Definitely not a good idea to compare the two situations since people are already labelling you as a "blind fanboy."


Well he kind of is.

EG is the one of the best if not the best foreign team. TSL is one of the worst Korean teams and they're dropping players everywhere.

The last GSTL begs to differ. Just saying.


The current state of the team begs to differ. Just saying.

demuslim wont be going anywhere anytime soon, he has done decent at mlgs and at European events.


Demuslim is absolutely not going anywhere :p

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/DeMusliM
his latest good tournament placement is almost year old and he is almost invisible, i dont see any reason why EG should keep him ...

He's a monster when he hits his A game that's why. This isn't just the opinion of EG players hyping the guy, he's well regarded among foreign Terrans. I mean he tore up his NASL group, before losing to Ret I think it was, no shame in that.

His inconsistency is a bit maddening yes, but his talent is undeniable.

Kind of tired of EG, they kick off players they have no more use for.


This type of stuff drives me incredibly insane. People moan and whine about wanting e-sports to be a legitimate venture in the western world, but then get mad when they behave how EVERY legitimate sport works. If you're familiar with the colts it would take two seconds to realize that what has arguably one of the 3 best teams in the nfl in the past decade fired their headcoach and multiple other people over 1 horrendous season. If people don't perform there's no reason to have them on a paid roster it's a waste of an investment, e-sports won't survive as something that's there just to support people with no real results.


I agree, alot of people don't realize that most things in life is business, including e-sports. Without money, e-sports would be basically nothing.

I was wondering when EG was going to start parting ways with it's starting players now that they are just buying high tier players

Keep in mind that EG has other divisions than just starcraft 2. I bet that the layout of the lair is not preventing the other eg divisions to use the house if needed, and they probably will when the starcraft people are not living over there.

Wow......This is so sad ;_;. I will continue to be a big fan of Axslav though. His stream is definitely one of the best out there.

I guess we'll see
They were lucky enough to get matched up against IM in the first round, so I'm fairly confident in TSL's line-up. (Because if TSL's players can't win it, IM's coach will do it for them )

what the hell? people calling DeMuslim bad? what?

this reminds me of people shitting on haypro, and then he fucks over MVP and Nestea.

i hope for irony's sake that DeMuslim wins the next MLG.

Strifecro is my fav. player. Too bad EG cut the midtier players... No longer a fan of them.

IMO it's kinda shallow to dislike a team just because they dropped a player. Of course it is your opinion, but if you look at it from EG's perspective they haven't seen many results from Strifecro compared to their other players and frankly it might not be worth the money for him to remain on the team from a business standpoint. Whether you like it or not, these teams are businesses and I believe this decision will inevitably lead to more growth within Esports as EG can allocate their money to players that they may feel are more deserving.

That being said I too regret their decision to part but I wish all parties the best.


Then you have to ask why incontrol is still on the team.

Straight up due to personality?


Incontrol doesn't need to win anything amazingly enough whether u like him or not, he's arguably one of the biggest names in foreign e sports because of his personality. In a growing scene it's not all about who's getting the best results necessarily

What's this, EG dropping those that aren't in korea/producing results?

I doubt it, the house tour showed that there is comfort over there and that it would really be an invasion of piracy to have the other divisions come over.

Big demuslim fan, but I agree. At this point it would be silly to say hes not over-hyped.

I'm just praying that he attends the next tournament and does incredibly well because if he doesn't, his reputation of being over-hyped will continue to bleed.

I don't see why people keep making this argument, haypro had 1 good instance of play in an entire year, demuslim has done nothing this year really. How do people like you justify your claim that x is so good even though there is nothing really to quantify that claim. It's like me saying that the sky is purple because it is, there's really no results to back this up. Like yes we all realize they're "good" they play professionally, but there's a huge difference from some random footballer from china and messi. Most people are capably of taking a game and often times a set of almost anyone in the world, it'd be almost ridiculous to assume that x will be y 100% of the time, there are bound to be upsets.
