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 .

Polt was in Code S this season via his seed. He got in with Naniwa. So he doesn't have a auto S seed next season.

Polt had his spot this GSL (him + Naniwa) and hasn't won any event since receiving the seed if I'm not mistaken.

The two most likely scenarios are
a) Thozain/Stephano for code S and [insert some other foreigner in korea here] for up/down
b) Stephano/Winner of MLG Anaheim code S and Thozain up/down

quite sad that EG continues to rely on their huge amounts of money to buy successful players to stay on par with the international scene instead of rising them on their own... but I guess that's just natural for sports also I find it quite funny that InControl does not own one single trophy that is shown in the video lol


To be fair when was the last time any of the non-Koreans have won anything on TL?

And mouz signed Thorzain after he started winning in TSL3, they didn't develop him.
Naniwa joined coL and then Quantic while being a top foreigner.

And pretty much every team out there is buying mid-level Korean players.

Such is life - you aren't going to have ROOT-like stories anymore of teams developing together.

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.

stream income as well. some players live solely off their streams.

very subtle. I like it :D

Lol, now that you say it :D I even missed the Swedish flag the first time I watched the vid... Really well made and gave me a good laugh.
But after the first Wohuuu, I´m a bit sad for Mouz, gl to them too. Still good players on the team, but ThorZain will be missed

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 Liqyuid 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.

You think Taeja, Zenio and hero joined TL because they were big fans and to become friends with haypro? Lol...

Oh vau, when I saw the title on the front page, I thought that someone from liquid.net was trolling.

So happy for ThorZaIN! Sad for Mouz, he and Mana made it my fav. team. Is EG planning on aquireing Parting anytime soon, so that I can have my new fav. team? :-P

(Anyway, what does this mean for the EG MCSL? Both from EG and Mouz perspective)

Edit: the video is pure brilliant, love it!

I hope marcus got a boat load of money for this, otherwise I don't understand why. Fast becoming an EG anti-fan, now try and watch as EG markets him as a bad boy of esport.
Big fan of thorzain, not a big fan of EG.

Haha, Thorzain on Evil Geniuses feels wrong.

But I'm glad for him! I'm sure this means he's making some serious monetary gains!

isnt one of the reasons zenio joined TL because he wanted to practice from home and not stay with OGS in their team house? TL allowed that, but apparently OGS didn't.

Polt already got his code s spot this current season. He is already in GSL. Stephano has been invited and there is another spot available. It could be Thorzains.
