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!
So when are they going to officially announce you as the head coach/manager of the SC2 division?

Oh my.. EG lineup grows even stronger.
Good luck Thorzain!

This never occurred but yeah he most definitely got a Code S spot for winning DH

Get him a code S seed gom
Stephano and Polt already have those 2 "lucky" spots for next GSL. Thorzain is great but I'd prefer Stephano in GSL .

wow the video was awesome and this announcement in general has captured my attention
gogo thorzain!

I really don't like this announcement.
The same I didn't like Huk joining team EG.
I have nothing against EG, but these players in my mind don't fit the "spirit" of the team.
What disturb me the most is when you read their declaration, the main reason they are going to EG is : Money.
(which is totally understandable, but you can't blame me for not liking it; it would be the same if someone gave me money to hang out with some guys instead of my friends).
Huk still hangs out mostly with Jinro, Haypro, Tlo and all the liquid guys. Thorzain and all Mouz members seemed to really be friendly.
Sure to quote IdrA "Me and Huk are getting along quite nicely", but it is not a real friendship like he has with Liquid guys.
I would have no problem with Stephano joining EG, because he is in there for the money and fits the personality; but Huk remains Liquid for many people, so will Thorzain remain Mouz in many people's heart.

I hope he gets a code A seed, he'd probably murdered in Code S while he has definetely a shot at the Up and Down if he's in code A. Well, if he doesn't draw someone like Byun...

So finally MMA can get some new builds :D great job and good luck in korea Thorzain!

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. €: oh, wait...
30-50k is middle of the road income by US standards... especially if you factor in how much time they invest in training. However, considering their contracts have got to be incentive based, they have the potential to earn quite a bit if you factor in tournament income as well.

Not at all. The Code "S" spot has always been Stephano's. It is just that in the past Stephano has decided not to take it. This time however, it seems he is seriously considering it.

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. The key point in his post is team leagues team leagues are secondary to be honest. $10k for a team league or $100,000k for NASL... which would you rather win?
That isn't relevant to what he was talking about. He is talking about team leagues.
