 Strifecro was a very underrated player by everyone here and Axslav was clearly popular.Hope that they both get picked up soon! | ||

This seems to be what everyone is saying, but I disagree. The stereotypical progamer is an idealistic kid right out of high school; Axslav and Strifecro are in their mid-20's with college degrees. I wouldn't be surprised if Strifecro moves to Vancouver to play poker and Axslav moves back to silicon valley and gets a real job with his computer science degree. Playing video games for a living sounds a lot cooler than the reality of cutthroat fighting and sacrifice for table scraps. | ||

If there was another NA player in their skill range you better believe EG would be interested but there isn't. fair enough. i live in canada, so i compare an NHL team to these SC2 "teams". EG cuts players that aren't performing at the level they want them too. see ya good luck. in other pro sports there are multiple options for keeping a player you've invested time and money into, for example: paying them substantially less than their star players (i assume that was already the case). sending them to the minors, extra training regimens etc. i don't know i just feel that teams that cut players loose like this are throwing away good money/time that they've invested into a player, and losing fans that support these players. my 2 cents | ||

With Axslav, we're talking about a guy who beat White-Ra in a BO7 this week WHILE walking the viewer through his every move and thought process. Axslav is definitely A class with a stream that was growing every week: yes surprise. More a lack of surprise over EG releasing players period, not specifically who the players were. | ||

I wonder if Axslav and StrifeCro will stay with each other on whichever team they join. Should be interesting. I doubt it. In the recent ESL 2v2 tournament, StrifeCro played with dde and Axslav played with Machine. GoSuStrifeCro perhaps. | ||

They've also had EG players from games besides SC2 stay there for periods of time as well I believe. | ||
