There must have been more at play than results, since Machine and LZ are both still listed. It's most likely because Axslav and Strifcro's contracts were up unlike Machine and Lz's contracts. | ||

I was listening to SirScoots talk about it tonight an they were dropped cause they wernt meeting goals that were set up for them to me by the team. How can one expect to maintain a position when they're not giving results and not meeting goals? They can't and I think you're just saying this cause of some sort of resentment of EG while just ignoring all of the facts. | ||

Still doesn't make sense for axslav and strifecro to go but not machine and LZ | ||

I don't see many comments saying they'll stop supporting any of these parties. Lol stay tuned. You obviously don't know much about axslav. The grubby comment was regarding something on reddit which actually sparked a response from steelseries. If you didn't hear about it you should read about it. http://kimrom.tumblr.com/post/15910329308/on-not-sponsoring-someone | ||

Though Both their contracts were also up so it was either renew them or drop them an they chose to drop them. The same likly happen with Lz once his contract comes up since he's had pretty much 0 results. | ||

Though, I have to wonder why they didn't drop Lz? I'm not hating on the guy or anything, but he didn't really post results either. | ||

I hope they get a new team which they can play a more active role. Though, I have to wonder why they didn't drop Lz? I'm not hating on the guy or anything, but he didn't really post results either. Probably keeping him for marketing reasons since he is quite good looking. He missed one of the MLG events in 2011 because EG sent him to represent one of their sponsors at a convention. | ||

Obviously the results aren't everything, even though you are playing superbly, the competition is far too fierce to post results consistently, so players need to be also marketable. Incontrol and Idra are especially skilled at being marketable. But I guess the Axslav and Strifecro was kinda not that merketable. | ||

Idk who won more major tournaments though, but I'd have to say Huk... It's not entirely about results though. Idra's on Inside the Game and is a regular guest on SotG. His stream gets more viewers than anyone else's, I'm pretty sure. He's always diligent about mentioning and thanking his sponsors. He doesn't have the Twitter presence that HuK does, but his fan club is one of the biggest threads on TL. That kind of thing matters, I suspect. Winning major tournaments is a big part of things but it's not the whole package. | ||

I'm looking at an ROI to a brand, right. So, go look at Axlav's twitter followers, his facebook, his interaction, how he does videos.It's not negative against nick, this is the facts of business. Right, so, if a player wants to get more money from us, or wants to get more travel from us, they have to do certain things. It doesn't seem it was about performance, but more about player popularity. | ||

These no result foreigners who are just kinda hanging around for a paycheck half assing it are going to be in for a rude awakening in the coming years and they'd be better off looking for a new career now (while they're still young and don't have too huge gaps in their resumes) or getting their asses in gear (and putting in the effort of guys like Huk) from the wake up call of getting booted from your team. They are not going to be able to just skate by on their name or the fact that they were hired early on anymore if BW A teamers come over, there will be too many amazing players and so not enough money to go around for mediocre ones. Time to separate the boys from the men, harsh reality of a competition based profession like progaming but they signed up for the job. | ||
