Axslav is a part of my protoss heart. He won't depart there! Good luck in the future, Nick. I hope you will continue streaming or at least keep in touch with the community.

Regards,

Dijego

I know LZ pretty well, and he is a very smart player. Even if he is not posting results, I am willing to bet he supplies a lot of value through meta game evolution ideas and conjecture. As we have seen he was always very creative (5 rax reaper, and he was doing the hellion/air TvT thing WAY before it was claimed by someone else).

Not a huge surprise. EG seems to be going after either very talented players or those very active in the community. I just wonder if they'll be adding any more NA players. Can't think of many good fits at the moment but it would make sense to have more players at the EG team house.

all these player transferring, leaving, and joining are hurting my head... I think tl should have a separate subsection for sc2 for these things... something like "SC2 players" or something

What needs to happen is a weekly report that details all player movements imo, rather than 34954309 threads about each guy

Or we need to not make threads about every SC2 player under the sun period.

I'm assuming his contract hasn't ended. That, and both Machine and LzGamer have done more publicity stuff than StrifeCro and Axslav.

Skill wise it would make sense. However incontrol is a distinguished person in the comunity, loved/hated, he draws attention to the team, which makes him profitable.

Same as Destiny.

If you listened to iNcontroL on SotG and especially Scoots on Lo3, they both said, in essence, that Axslav (specifically, since he already has a team lined up) will be going to a better place. Specifically, a place that can support him in the way he deserves. On EG, he's a small cog in a much bigger machine, overshadowed by Idra, Huk, Puma, JYP, Demuslim and iNcontroL himself, at least. On his new team, he'll be a bigger player. Rather than being in a situation where he's the 7th or 8th most important player on a team that sends four or six players to major tournaments like MLG, he'll be the best or second-best player on a team that sends two guys to those tournaments. Even though he's leaving a big team for presumably a smaller team, he'll actually be getting more support because of it. It's a bit like, actually, Idra moving from CJ to EG; he was a B-teamer pretty close to breaking into CJ's A-team. At EG he instantly became the centerpiece of the entire division; more than that, he was the most important player on the team across all of their divisions. Sometimes moving from a big team to a smaller one is actually a better move for a player's career.

Watch the EG practice streams. He has a ton of value beyond his community face.

Too bad for StrifeCro. These are the two players I've heard they have but never really seen em. And it's funny how people are crying how EG should get rid of some other player because someone don't like him for some personal reason. I think Lz is carrying his weight in quite a many way, Machine may not be the number one Zerg in the team but he is still good. iNcontroL well he is incontrol. Player manager, "coach", still good enough to be sent in to the tournaments as player. Well who don't like Ben and who would want him out? And it's good to end this with my opinion that they should kick idra out, why? Because it's almost as stupid as other comments

Kind of happy about it. Not being disrespectful but I really want EG to be a team that strive for good result players and be a successful gaming team.

I hope Axslav and Srtrifecro find a team that suits them better.
