But sure its nice for thorzain, but i feel really sorry for mouz

Video was hilarious though :D

Yes they are. Alex Garfield has said they only want high profile players. Nothing wrong with that. Every sport needs its New York Yankees.

There's a reason why teams such as Chelsea and Man City and the likes are universally hated in football. At least there's others such as Complexity and Quantic, who try to develop the foreign scene.


What? You're saying a deal like this doesn't develop the foreign scene?

EG obviously offered Thorzain a good deal and he accepted it. He can now travel to more events and show his talent in different tournaments more easily without worrying about other things. He can train in the EG house and go to Slayers house for training. These things overall, help Thorzain develop as a player, and make the foreign scene stronger.

The amount of hate EG gets is really childish and stupid.

Naturally, he'll be earning ab igger salary now, which is nice for him. However, he was able to travel to Korea to train with Slayers or to the US to compete at MLG before. And why would he want to train in the US when he can train in Stockholm?

EG simply chose not to invest in developing players at all. It's not like they're buying some big names and sponsoring some new talent; all they are doing is buying big names.

The announcement states that he is going to be in Korea indefinitely. He himself also stated in his own section that he was considering quitting because mouz couldn't endorse that kind of travel on a regular basis.

Good for Thorzain... from a monetary point of view. Not sure I like this announcement for any other reasons than that... and maybe the video. Looking at the development of some of their additions, they're good at a number of things, but certainly not at finetuning talent. Picking him up for team leagues? Seriously? Hope the kid won't be wasted as some sort of backseater/benchwarmer.
Well, if nothing else, he can still do what certain others do: have a blast at the Lair, promote EG merch on his stream and appear in hilarious videos for their sponsors.

Guess its time for ThorZaIN to get rid of the Abyssus and get into some Steelseries gear. This blows my mind. So unexpected. Now thinking back to his LO3 interview I wonder how far along the deal was at the time. Great move for the player and organization. Think it's time to pick up an EG jersey

EG finally realizing that if you want good foreign players, you go for the swedes.

Anyhow Thoirzain + Slayers is the best news I've heard in months, Thorzain has so much potential.
