I wish I could say I didn't see this coming, but totally did, especially for strifecro, someone should really pick up Axslav, that guy has crazy potential if he had a real coach! Best of luck to them in the future and I REALLY hope axslav keeps streaming!
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.

This isn't a disservice (although that seems to be how you're taking it) to them, its just not a good fit anymore. I think Axslav and strife are going to have some nice opportunities with smaller market teams who can give them more attention.

Don't be so worried, Axslav and strife are going to land on their feet. They are both extremely talented but they no longer fit in with EG's plans. And if you talk to Ax and strife, I doubt they'll say their time with EG was detrimental to their career.


Heh... that somehow makes me feel a lot better. I wonder why that wasn't part of the official EG announcement. It's not PR bullshit, it actually makes sense.

Since at least IPL3, I remember they interviewed him about being with EG and he was pretty happy about it.

I think they'll have a buffer time to move out, like 2 weeks to a month. Or EG might let them stay if they pitch in for rent and help Beyond Gaming out with the monthly bills.

I would expect them to be on the way out though.

i feel bad for axslav, i'd suck to have that sick pro house and to have to leave.


strife never really carried his weight but axslav was a hero to EG in many of the team league games.. if only he was more popular/vocal etc., he could have maybe kept his spot. Clearly being on a team like EG is more than just results, skill or potential; you have to be an ace in something whether it's playing (puma/jyp/idra/huk) or marketability (incontrol/idra/huk).

gl hf axslav.

Welp....Good luck to Strife and Axslav.

Saw it comming, as they only really posted any sort of result end of 2010 / early 2011.

But, hopefully they find some good homes and continue to play.
Still, I wonder why LzGamer is still around on EG, he afaik hasn't done to much of nothing.......

I don't understand why the thread immediately turned to "why not iNcontrol/machine?". I mean iNcontrol was having some pretty decent results before the injection of the Korean terrors. At which point a lot of players seemed to drop down overall at tournaments.

I digress though, as stated its beyond mere results. I believe that Scoots said on Lo3 it also includes media exposure, fan bases/followings, the cost of each player being sent to events vs the valued return, and iNcontrol specifically does a lot more for EG behind the scenes as the "Team Captain". I guess I don't share the same views as some that because of his results later in the year he should be vilified and removed from EG.

Enough ranting. Point being is that Axslav and Strife are going to move on and given that they've both improved I hope they do find teams quickly and can progress further as players. Best wishes you two in 2012!
Just chill man.

Axslav and Strifecro deserve better than what they were given at EG. They didn't even have salaries and had to pay for nearly everything out of their own pockets from what I heard (not bad if you just want to play starcraft, but if you want to be pro and make this a career its too little). Good luck Axslav and Strifecro, hope you get treated better on a different team, you deserve it.

Scoots never fails to amaze me! :p It seems like he got the right answers for always any question! I think it would have been nice if there had been some statements from both the players and also from Scoot to avoid putting in EG in a bad light for "kicking out their lesser players without reason" in their news on myeg.net
