You probably should have left that part out as well. Definitely not a good idea to compare the two situations since people are already labelling you as a "blind fanboy."


I was at first tempted to write something akin to what this man said, but he ninja'd me pretty hard.

Seriously. We know you love TSL. We get it, just tone it down a bit.

It's not clear if he is in the house, but he is playing vs demuslim and talking with everyone on stream as if nothing has happened.

and what prevents you from practising and having fun with your friends without being on the same team...? yeah, you get it? right, nothing.

I'm not familiar with Strifeco's play but the loss of Axslav seems a bit curious to me.

Even those who don't rate the guy will generally accept that he is a cerebral, strategic player who comes up with viable, effective builds with a well-defined goal. Surely he would have been worth keeping on if just for this facet of his game, in a kind of coaching/mad scientist strategist capacity?

Hahaha wtf this situation is nothing like whats going on with TSL right now. Like the poster said above me you should probably have left that bit out.

I think that Ax and Strife knew about this a bit longer than we did. And, surprise, they are friends. And friends actually practice together. :p

And nothing should, I mean, regardless of teams, these people are still friends. If Haypro or Jinro wanted to practice with HuK, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't say no even though they are on different teams. I'm pretty sure that all of the people involved already knew this was going to happen.

A blind fanboy with insider access? Anyone labeling Virgil that is not paying attention.


I agree, he does have inside connections with TSL and hes provided some good information. But incase you havent noticed hes been attacked these past few days. I'm just point out that comparing the EG news with TSL's situation won't do him any good.

LZGamer stays but Axlav goes? I don't how I feel about that, but best of luck to Axlav and Strifecro both (even if they leave the scene). Also best of luck to Machine and Demuslim, with the rate of foreign teams signing Koreans EG might have the roster to let them go like this next year.

demuslim wont be going anywhere anytime soon, he has done decent at mlgs and at European events.

Yeah, but he's had some inconsistency. Stuff like how he was supposed to go to Korea but it fell apart. Obviously he's really good, but EG seems to care more about how good a player is currently rather than their potential. Axslav was getting pretty good, but they still let him go.

They have Incontrol and LZGamer who aren't kept around because they can win tournaments, and then in terms of Starcraft ability Machine is one of the better foreigners (imo) but he's now the weakest pure player on EG. They're not really trying to build talent, just buy it. It's a little disappointing to see long standing players leave is all.

That said, I'll still be rooting for EG.

I was just hearing Incontrol talk about their improvement when they streamed their practice yesterday, how unfortunate.

thining down the team or making room for more Koreans? :-)

hope axlav and strife will find a good now team to play for, would love to see more western top teams and hopefully a few more more western oriented tournaments where more westeren players can shine it just seems a bit to though to break though atm

Or maybe people would just say, the players TSL has lost skillwise is not really comparable to the players EG lost.


That's why the situations aren't comparable and stupid to even try.

Well I can understand EG's side, especially performance-wise. If iNcontroL weren't a such a pillar in the community... I wonder if he would still be there.........


He's also their captain, he won't be leaving anytime soon.
