Wow I haven't had this feeling since HuK got hired by EG.. I like Thorzain but I have a hard time liking EG if all they do is hire good players instead of grow their own. But perhaps Mousesports did the same with hiring Thorzain after the won TSL3. This greatly weakens mouz as a team.

Best of luck to Thorzain. I like him as a player even though I dislike EG as a team I should continue to cheer for him in tournaments. I hope they grow their own talent instead of buying big names though.. EG's bussiness model is pretty good though..Shit ton of sponsors who pay for good players who win tournaments and get them more sponsors.


Mouz picked him up during TSL3 not after he won it

Mouz will be weaker but will be fine with hasuobs, mana, morrow, and bigs

Holy shit that was random! I'm so happy for Thorzain. His story is almost too good; First with MouseSports and now EG? Congrats!

Oh wow, nice pickup for EG, and ofcourse a nice deal for Thorzain aswel. Tho I wonder if EG is going to drop some members. Their SC2 line-up is pretty large right now, 9 players total or something? Add to that the other competitive teams and players sponsored by EG, they have quite a few people under contract now. Then again, knowing EG they probably managed to acquire more funding.

Right, let's watch that video once more ^^

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


Thank god you showed up with your insider information of how the industry REALLY works. Please keep us posted?


Do you honestly think EG doesn't care about improving the skill of existing players? Why else would they have a team house or a partnership to stay with SlayerS? Did you read your post to yourself before you hit enter?


Did you read YOUR own post and his post, before you hit enter? Raising ur own star player isn't the same as improving players that are already stars.


I...I have no idea what you're even replying to. I didn't reference raising star power. I referenced raising skill via team houses (their own as well as SlayerS'), becuase Creager wrote that they rely on money to "buy successful players...instead of rising(I assume he means raising) them on their own"

I don't know where anyone here mentioned starpower (I assume you mean fame, etc). We were referencing skill/results.

BTW, to all guys being sad over Thorzain switching teams to Evil Genius..

Look at his comments.. It sounds to me it was either going to EG or stop playing..

Haha great video. Love what EG does to pimp their players. Still one step ahead of the rest and it definitely pays off.

As for Thorzain, big congrats... you deserve every bit of this. I was skeptical of your TSL3 run (until you actually beat MC ^_^) and wasn't sure if you could remain consist. But it's clear that you're one of the hardest working and intelligent players we have today. GL in Korea.
