So...um...how much money does EG have exactly?

Oh and this goes without saying, but that video was the funniest starcraft related youtube video I've watched in a long time.

The thing that stuck out to me most from the video wast the steadicam work, EG really upping the production value of these things, and iNcontrol is good actor :D

Who knows, but with all those sponsors, a good healthy amount considering.

Wow I got to say I didn't see this coming. Think I'm happy about this since Thorzain had thoughts of going back to school and combining school with gaming. This will surely make him continue playing exclusively.

I'd rather he joined Slayers instead of EG, but that was never going to happen. Grats to Thorzain! God he's gonna have so much fun broing out with his bros in Slayers. :D

A huge WTF was had when I read the thread title.

I liked Thorzain in mouz, but good luck in Korea and the next year.

I find this sort of approach way more exciting than the announcements of announcements that prepare you for announcements!

Grats Tzain! Best of luck in the future! What a fantastic pick up by EG!

sigh... hate to root against thorzain now

EG not good enough for GSTL though, only players that are good enough to even win a match against Code B players are Huk and thorzain. JYP and Puma have been struggling in korea for a long time now. Stacked teams like slayers will just need to send out players like MMA to all kill them.


Thorzain is a great player, but I believe he would struggle in Korea, in the past 4 months he has dropped a lot of games to Koreans, but he did beat Polt, whose currently a Code B player.

No, he's not. Polt will start next season in the Up & Down matches.

The Yankee's comparison is pretty inaccurate. EG don't have any players I'd consider to be in the top 20 in the game and definitely none who are top 10.

This pick-up makes a lot of sense for all parties.

Yankees had the best closer in the league for years and he is only not playing because he got hurt. Jeter has been one of the best ever... your comparison doesn't work.

If you actually cared for ThorZain's well-being you would wish he quit SC2 and went to school. And I couldn't care less about esports.


Because you know what's best for Thorzain better than he knows himself, right?

Yes.


well considering huk is reportedly paid 6 figures... i think its not that bad

How long can he keep that up ? From economical (which I am arguing from) standpoint your best bet is going to school. Of course from general point of view I cannot know what is best for ThorZain. But school is statistically your best bet anyway in nearly all scenarios.


If that's the case you should be telling everyone in mouz to go to school, because economically all of them are being stupid for doing pro-gaming, no?

Few things. If I was rationally advising them on what should they do, I would tell them all to go to school. So yes, all mouz players (all smart enough SC2 players without higher education in general) should continue with education instead of playing SC2. But ultimately it is their choice and they are free to do stupid things and pursue whatever they want. Thus I am not arguing from rational advisor standpoint, because I am not responsible for them. The argument I was making was to point out that people saying that we should praise EG for making ThorZain economically well off are missing the fact that him going to school would make him economically even better off in the long term. To summarize, I was not saying what he should do. I was saying that there is no reason to praise/not hate EG for the money, as if we actually cared about ThorZain being well off we should encourage him to quit SC2. But people do not care purely about him being well off. People want him to play SC2 first and having a lot of money second.


They can use the money to go to take a break from progaming to go to school...You speak as if school is free

In his country pretty close to it.

It's free. You actually get paid 240 Euro/Month from the government (for 6 years) as long as you pass your courses.


Still he needs to pay apartment bills, phone bills, and also have a life.

Always good to get a amount of cash before you study so u dont have to turn the tables searching for cash
