Gentlemen, this is last straw and it will not stand!
For too long, EG has provided a sustainable model for western Esports. Their nefarious and endless work to secure sponsorships and grow Esports into a marketable product has driven this holy game into the hands of the capitalist devils! EG has wound the Starcraft world around their little finger. By serving as the shining example of how to run a western Esports organization, EG has sewn the diabolical seeds of their model into the virgin soil that is Starcraft 2!
For too long, EG has used their hard work and innovation to do nothing but pick up Code S talent like Machine, Demuslim, LZgamer, and Incontrol, rather than providing an environment for 'B' class players to grow and improve!
For too long, EG has given players with the talent and drive to make it to the top enough financial security to pursue their careers on the highest level! Idra, Huk, and Thorzain, players willing to make immense sacrifices to travel and live in a foreign country to improve their game have been swallowed up by the heartless conglomerate that is Evil Geniuses!
Comrades, EG has done nothing but take from Esports! Their shameless promotion of Esports, constant interaction with the community, and tireless work to bring Starcraft 2 into the spotlight is nothing but a clever veil to hide their true intentions to eliminate every team except for EG!
The EG masters cup, a world class tournament providing top level content to the community for free, is nothing but a thinly veiled plan to poach players from other teams! Do not be fooled by their $10,000 prize pool offered to all competitive players! For this is the most sinister of plots. Once EG has used the masters cup to recruit all the top talent in the world, the prize pools of their amazing free tournaments will do nothing but feed back into the beast, as EG team 'A' competes with EG team 'B' in the finals!
Friends, I have seen the future, and it is truly evil!
So this, EG, is your last chance! You will immediately release from your clutches all the top talent and personalities that you undeservedly take credit for nurturing and growing! Following this, you will prove your worth by recruiting the bottom 10 bronze players and developing them from scratch! You will halt your imperialistic expansion into the holy land, and offer these players not a dime more than the most poorly run, unsponsored, and non-contributive teams in the business can offer!
Until these demands have been met, my EG mousepad will no longer be used, and I will dedicate myself to a more deserving organization!
lol, too perfect. Respond haters.

One thing that made me snicker though was this
legendary players like EG.PuMa, EG.JYP, MMA and BoxeR
Now no disrespect to any of those other players but as of right now Boxer is the only legend among those 4 listed. Just wanted to throw that out there even though it is pretty obvious and I'm sure most people thought the same. =P It's marketing, who the hell gives a shit. Obviously they're going to exaggerate, it would be dumb for them not to. Every commercial you see on TV is exaggerated too, marketing legally does give license to make claims that are not always 100% true or proven. What? Does it work that way in US/Canada? Cause it's laughable ... It works like that everywhere. Don't be a tool and stir up the usa criticism on false grounds here It doesn't work like that in France at least, and i'm pretty sure in Germany too. You can criticize what 100% proven means (especially clinical test) but that's all. Being a big company allows you to avoid legal issues when class action isn't available because nobody is gonna try to trial you for false claims, but it's possible. Look at the recent Nutella case in the US to be sure that both of you are telling bullshit. look up puffery. puffery is largely illegal all over the EU though, if not entirely illegal
some countries have relatively leniant legislation regarding advertising and companies, it might be allowed in some. I doubt that the situation is the same for all the EU but it's definitely illegal in quite a few.

1) Awesome! Evil Geniuses is my favorite team! Glad to see them letting more of the best players (foreigners in particular) join
2) Best of luck to Thorzain! I hope and believe EG can make you an even better player!
3) Maaaaaaaaan! Don't quit in a year to study! We need more foreign programmers who aren't going to leave soon because of useless studies that you can just take later in life ^_^

Laughed tons at the video. You're a natural in front of the camera iNControl.
|
Please Thorzain, become even more successful and awesome so we don't have to put up with Naniwa as the most successful swede.

I expected this, but I'm still disappointed. Financially it's great for ThorZaIN and I'm glad he can continue programing and go to Korea, but EG are the Man City of SC2 and when Man City buy Robin Van Persie this summer I'm going to be thinking about how its almost the same thing (well except Man City are performing well this year).
I liked the video though Inc is always funny.

I hope he doesn't get EG disease... Player shows good results, EG recruits player, player stops showing good results :T
Seriously though, this is a good pickup for EG. The TL players have been killing it lately, so EG needs some fresh blood to step their game up too!

This is going to be EPIC!

sad for mouz  , it was probably for the reason mouz isnt active in Korea
after transferring Huk, Puma, JYP, Demuslim, maybe EG can now be succesful in teamleagues
hilarious vid though

I gotta ask this. Assume SlayerS had the $ to afford in taking Thorzain from Mouz. Whatever he gets as a salary is equal to that of EG (who knows what the figures are, but people assume it's 30 to 50k USD). How would they react if he went to SlayerS instead? Considering the terms that Thorzain is free to stay at home to train, and just wear SlayerS clothing at events and shouting out to their sponsors and the like?
I think the community would have a much greater reception to this, there is a lot of Anti EG sentiment since they have this stigma of really being like the NY Yankees. Just buy a skilled player with good recent results. Also, Thorzain actually being a member of SlayerS makes MUCH MORE sense considering he's pretty tight with them, and especially with MMA.
Just me thinking out loud, personally if he were to leave Mouz for any team, I really really wish it would have been SlayerS, but it's not possible for the time being. Irregardless I hope he does well in EG and doesn't necessarily fall to the curse.
