Being able to practice in the SlayerS house was probably a big draw for ThorZaIN, he's pretty good friends with MMA and Ryung who are both still there, and Boxer was always very fond of him.

When Thorzain was on Praetorian (or however you said it) I knew he was something special.

Respectful, mannered, funny and with amazing talent as a young man I thought he had limitless potential. I wasn't wrong I don't think, he went on to win TSL and then signed with Mouz and became their ace in matches leading up to numerous league titles. ALL the while he was always the same representative.. a pillar of top notch personality with top notch skill.

When I heard we had approached him and secured a contract with him I nearly cried I was so happy.

I pledge/promise to you guys I will do all I can to make him happy here and make sure he continues to grow in skill so that we can look to him as one of the flag bearers of the foreign community. Mouz is an amazing organization and they treated him really well.. I will do all I can to make sure he doesn't regret his decision to join EG.

I am really excited to work with him and I hope you guys are excited to see where he can go!



This is fantastic. You are an excellent teammate iNcontroL, and I hope ThorZaiN is able to do great things on EG.

who are You talking about? Its basiaclly only Huk, Puma JYP and and Thorzain atm. And Thorzain is the best player in EG atm.


Look, I'm not a huge idra or Demuslim fan or anything but I think they both qualify as mid Code A level. I think that beating Nestea in a bo3 is in general pretty good evidence of being at least mid Code A level. Same with beating even a slumping MVP. That's what they've done in the past couple months alone.


Do you watch code A? They might be mid code B and it's not even sure. DeMuslim is so freaking bad compared to someone like Ryung/Happy who played today in code A...
Zest fanboy.

Oh so many snide remarks I could make, but won't. Congrats to Thorzain. I am sad EG is just buying up talent left and right. They have good players on the team, individually, but I will never root for them as a team, I just don't agree with their Yankees-esque model of business, and certain players that don't present themselves or the sport professionally, but stay on the team because they are "edgy" to the youngest demographic.

Either way. Good luck Thorzain, don't get comfortable now that you have a better salary, keep the drive alive.

I had the feeling that Thorzain were moving but i was hoping to some better team than EG, but i guess that's where the money and opportunities are at. I would have loved to se him in Teamliquid instead! Hope he doesn't join the dark side with.. idra and Huk.

EG tired of losing to Mouz in team leagues, guess this is their solution ^^


If you can't beat them, buy them.



That seems to be their mentality. Eventually they'll have to start winning stuff, right? Right?

Waiting on those W's boys.

except EG has won MLGs, IEMs, NASLs.


Haven't you heard all the rebuttals before?

The video is awesome. The non-hype was awesome and Thorzain is awesome. I can't even imagine how much money he receives for this trade *__*

Xeris said that top end players make anywhere from 30k-50k in salary.


WHAT?

That's like ten times as much as the average person with a 9-5 in Germany makes.

Come to think of it, more like twelve times.

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.


Quantic isn't developping the foreign scene, they just can't afford anything rofl.
