I don't think Axslav will have problems finding a new team, and Strifecro is one of the more active players on NA, so he should be able to find another team as well. I agree with the people before, they are not that bad if you consider the North American starcraft 2 scene, they were just massively overshadowed by the other players on EG. | ||

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.you are saying like this is a bad thing.... It's not. If you could pick only 1 player to watch between Dragon and Strifecro, who would it be? The answer is obvious. If you have what it takes, ppl will just bend the rules for you, but if you aren't that good and have no fan base..etc. You are better off going back to your day job/school. | ||

I agree with the people before, they are not that bad if you consider the North American starcraft 2 scene, they were just massively overshadowed by the other players on EG. I think you either have to be a player with BIG results or have a BIG personalty to be on a team like EG. Anywho, these guys are good quality players and I have complete confidence they will successfully continue their SC2 careers. | ||

You make it sound like we are wrong in wanting to see the best of the best. In fact i would say it's the opposite of bad, it's infact a very healthy thing to create competition. Also like any sports there will be major and minor teams, i also doubt people will have less fun watching minor vs minor or even minor vs major. The great underdog stories ! All i am saying is you can not blame viewers for wanting what they want. | ||
