It's now called Incontrol Manor.

Not sure if Lz moved in, but also Machine, Geoff, Anna, Demuslim (partly with girl)

I didn't even know who they were until I just checked their profiles. So they couldn't have been putting any good results out.

Clearly this is all a conspiracy between Barristan, Poa, and Hobbes to whittle away at the humans until only they remain.

That's a pretty straight forward: "You are fired!".

Think Axslav will have no problem finding a new team. Cong I don't know, haven't seen him play other than on the EG practice stream and that did not look competitive.

While it sucks that they're not with EG anymore, I hope they can get some more support from a new team and they continue to Improve.

Hmmm Both are simply not impressive enough. SCII has not even peaked in skill level (or even plateaued out for that matter). Those two did nothing of note in the S-class books. Their performances in the Foreigner Team leagues were commendable, but yea. Gotta put new wine into new wineskins - old wineskins will just crack and be useless.

-get rid of axslav/strifecro...pick up JYP. its obvious what their goal is

I think Axslav is better than Machine, LZ and Incontrol, sad to see him go. But a team like EG should have only the best of the best, and they are clearly not the best of the best.

It's obvious that biggest teams dont look at western players ( foreigners ) as talent pool.
You are target audience.

Just skilled enough that u can understand and apretiate what's going on on the screen and just bad enough to fail in vast majority of international tournaments.

There are no intentions whatsoever to train foreign talents. More profitable in their point of view is to hire finished product ( estabilished korean semi-pro ) and market him under foreign brand.

Main criteria of foreign viewer is quality of game, pure skill. Since there is little to none attachement to actual individuals, nationality or background they are replaceable with more skilled koreans. You as viewers did this to yourself.

You are just view numbers for foreign sponsors so they will support events for Koreans to win Welcome to SC2.

neither player will have trouble finding a team. Maybe tough to find a team on the same level as EG, but they were NEVER that league of players.

also axslav has gotten a lot better recently.. strife not so much

Tbh I think this is a good move for Axslav/Strifecro. They were MASSIVELY overshadowed on EG, with all their superstars. On another team, albeit not as prominent as EG, they can be that team's superstar. Hell, they probably could negotiate better compensation on a different team where they are part of that team's superstar lineup.

Edit: Word on the street is Axslav has already lined up another team.

Sucks for them tbh but they just werent putting out results.

They are doing even worse then incontrol on that front, and as much as i love the guy, he's been having a bad 6 months.

Good luck to them both!
