Read through the thread a bit, it has been discussed to death. And if after reading the thread you want another opinion, go watch Inside the Game episode 100, where SirScoots talks about what sponsors are looking for. One of the main things about Incontrol is his huge personality, something that allows him to get the EG brand around. Secondly, he is the team captain, and works on other things for the team in addition to his duties as a job. | ||

EG is more focussed on return on investment on their players while TL cares more about the image they send. Both are fine, just different. | ||

Also as far as I can tell its not like EG kicked them. Their contracts were up and I am pretty sure EG was willing to resign just Axlav and Strifecro were not content with the offer made to them. Which is fine. Still, its too bad and I will miss them. Ironically enough my EG mousepad with all their signatures was missing Axlav\Strife anyways because they were not at MLGOrlando. lol | ||

By the way, I'm sorry if that's been said but these guys weren't receiving a salary, and were in fact contributing to the rent. | ||

It's kind of frustrating to see people say "Noo they must keep LZ he is pretty" "They were great guys to hang around how could they kick them off the team" Get real guys, this is a business for your information their looks and personalities are juxtaposed greatly to their skill and results and Strife/LZ/Machine have not done well in whats essential to be part of EG. EG's lineup is beginning to look pretty solid (HuK,IdrA,JYP,PuMa,DeMuSliM) the one thing I disagree with is releasing Axslav, I feel he was on the same terms as Demuslim in terms of progression they both have great potential and when they show their A-game are definetly capable of competing with the top foreigners at least. | ||

Still, booting Axslav and keeping.... some of the other players that have been mentioned not to throw anyone under the bus specifically, seems like a strange move. The dude is a better player than a lot of the folks who are still on the team. | ||

EG is more focussed on return on investment on their players while TL cares more about the image they send. Both are fine, just different. Don't think you can really compare. All players on TL have been huge at one time or another. Even if some didn't do that well recently, all of them have a huge amount of followers. Axslav and Strifecro passed under the radar of a lot of people, even those actually following actively SC2. They didn't have a lot of appearences and even when they did, they had a hard time garnering attention, especially in comparison to the more skilled EG Members Idra and Huk or the vocal Incontrol. It costs a boatload of money to fly players to the events. With the addition of the Korean Players Puma and JYP it becomes kinda hard for EG to ever justify flying Axslav or Strifecrow to any event instead of the former. So while I'm kinda sorry for them, I believe this may in the end be the best thing for both EG and the players in the long term. A less stacked team might give them the opportunity to show more of themselves and step out of EGs A-lineup shadow. Good luck to them anyway. | ||
