Not that shocking, wondering who EG is thinking of picking up now to fill the spots? Always liked both Strife and Axslav, this kindof thing isn't that uncommon at the start of the year though for both teams and players. I hope it is somewhat mutual but the wording of the article made it seem like it's much more EG's decision.

Anyone wondering why not Machine, well, he is the original Machine

gotta have at least 1 so might as well be the one and only!

I can understand StrifeCro leaving, no offense or anything.
But Axslav? That just saddens me. He's a really good guy, and he's pretty good; his tournament results aren't that terrible.
Oh well.

They come and they go.

In my opinion its not just lack of skill/results that got these two booted from EG (otherwise iNcontrol would be on the list too), I also think it had to do with the shy nature of both of them.

Sad news. Best of luck to them and hope they find a new home to shine with.

Not being outgoing has nothing to do with it.

You do have to consider that both Inc and Lz have way bigger followings than Axslav or Strifecro do as far as I can tell.

Don't know much about Strifecro unfortunately, but I really think Axslav has potential. Really wish there was more emphasis put on coaching/building talent rather than just buying it. A pity, but I really hope Axslav finds a place that he can push himself to the next level in.

unbelieveable how players like axslev are getting removed from the roster, but not Incontrol with his terrible proformances at mlg and other events...

I wonder when Strife and Axslav found out, Strife was just practicing and acting normal today on iNcontroL's stream.

Hopefully incontrol, Lz, and machine pick up their game as well, I would hate to see any of them leave the team as well.

LZ has a following? Not meant to hate, I honestly have never heard of an LZ "fan" before.

Incontrol will not be booted. No matter how bad his results are he is a very valuable player. He's very popular has a ton of fans and a ton of haters (like idra/huk) He brigns a lot of viewers and everything. It would be silly of EG to ever kick a player like incontrol from the team just from a marketting perspective he's very good for that reason alone.
