LZ been in EG going on 3 years in April, I agree he doesn't have a huge following. Cause of State of the Game and his personality, Incontrol has a huge following and is one of the most popular players in SC2. I see LZ going soon but not Incontrol | ||

Seems like bad/sad news at first... but this really could be good for their careers. Someone summarized what Scoots said on LO3 about this a few pages back, I'll paraphrase again. Being on a team with Idra, Huk, Puma, Jyp, and Inc... there is not much room in the spotlight for anyone else. Moving to a x6, QxG, CoL, LighT, or etc... could be a great opportunity for them to shine. Best of luck to you guys. | ||

basically EG picked up JYP and shortly after decided to drop Axslav/Strifecro so it looks like they are getting a korean and dropping 2 americans giving the impression that Koreans will soon replace all Americans. | ||

And that's not even addressing the fact that foreign players aren't even "beginning" to fade off, let alone "continuing" to do so. The foreign scene is still getting larger, and HotS hasn't even come out yet (let alone LotV). | ||

I'd imagine its because axslav and strife are teamless right? Why would this be a bad thing for them? They have an opportunity to pursue smaller market teams that can give them more focus and attention. Axslav and strifecro will probably get better situations on other teams than EG can justify. I doubt you'll hear Ax or strife say being on EG was detrimental to their career. They're probably both thankful for the opportunity. Its a different chapter, there's no need to be sad. This kind of reminds me of the steel series and grubby situation, just because steelseries dropped grubby doesnt mean we should stop supporting either party. Grubby will land on his feet and have the opportunity to acquire different sponsors or perhaps join up with a team and steelseries will continue supporting esports. | ||

Anybody think Dragon's gonna make an attempt to haggle EG to some ridiculous yearly salary in exchange for good results? He's certainly more skilled than Axslav or Machine, for sure. | ||

No doubt Axslav will pop up elsewhere and hopefully he gets to go to MLG's and other tournaments from now on too. Definitely a guy to look forward to in team leagues as well | ||

Watching EG's practice sessions has made it pretty apparent, I think, that iNcontroL has immense value to the organization beyond results as a player. He's the most articulate player they have, the most camera-friendly and sponsor-friendly player they have, and when someone needs to crack the whip or say 'hey, you need to buckle down and work harder,' it's Geoff. I liked him for his personality beforehand, but I've gained an enormous amount of respect for him over the course of the EG practice streams. | ||

I think Scoots owns it? but maybe im wrong and hes just the head manager. Incontrol just has a very strong following, and is great for PR. He's also very camera friendly so I can see why he will be sticking around. also im curious as to who axslav got signed on with | ||

Nice release by EG. After the past couple weeks of craziness and drama with players moving around it's good to see some PR is still handled with a modicum of maturity. Good luck you two!! | ||
