So, again, why are people excited about this? EG will keep losing to Mousesports, and Thorzain's skills will gradually diminish, just like HuK's and PuMa's.
Why are you still so UPSET about the PuMa incident that you have to criticize EG on how they spend their money? Or are you just trying to hate on EG because it's the cool thing to do?

Ugh, there goes another top foreigner. EG is great and all, but they don't make players better. They just pick up people that are doing well, they do well for a bit then go on the decline. Idk, just not a very professional team overall... EG you can have the chill rooster and be a 'fan favorite' team if you want, where your players are players & entertainers, but please stop ruining the careers of top foreign players. Even if you have the money to get the players, you're hurting esports by ruining their career. We need them.
I know its normal for the players to pick the money but its still a fact that esports as a business won't grow unless foreign players are winning, and then EG won't grow. If you want to be a professional team ACT LIKE ONE, otherwise let the pros be. Kick out those shitty players and friends and put all your really really good guys together in a small house and make them practice a lot with no distraction. You need a coach, too. Not a friend or a foxy chick, an actual coach. There is a reason they exist in all other sports, they are useful.
I LIKE YOU EG BUT PICK IT UP COME ON.
haha wow..
Is this your serious point of view or is this an elaborate troll bait post?

Money makes the world go round. Kind of sad about this for team league sake. Oh well T_T! Good thing for Thorzain, he deserves the $$ :D

Naniwa, stephano and maybe thorzain in code s NeXT Season?  would be Awesome.

ITS ABOUT TIME TO SEE EG IN GSTL MUAHAHA
|
Haha that video was fucking awesome :D
ThorZaIN did express a desire for his team to be more involved with the scene so this must be a perfect match!
Good luck in EG and good luck in Korea!

Really cool news, did not expect this at all. Quite a big grab for EG, hopefully he does well with the team, and for himself.
Thorzain's contract was expiring soon, so didn't Mousesports know that they should re-up with him soon, so is it implied that he picked EG > Mousesports? Just curious.

Thorzain! Thorzain! Thorzain!
So exited, this is awesome². Favourite player, favourite team.

It is a great opportunity for Thorzain to do things he couldn't on a different team, and last I check HuK and PuMa have done pretty damn well since joing EG. Huk got ro8 in GSL, 3rd at Winter Arena, 1st and 4th places at MLG's with Koreans. PuMa has 1st and 3rd at two IEM's and 2nd at the World Championship, 2nd at Dreamhack winter, 1st place for NASL 2, and 3rd at Assembly winter since joing EG.
Seems to me like you just have some sort of personal vendetta against EG. Get over it.

You say mousesports IS the best team like its based on some evidence. That should be YOU THINK mousesports is the best.

I say this as someone, who is a Mouz fanboy for pretty much a decade now, but the alternative of not joining EG would be probably the end of his career. If he would left any other team to continue playing, I would be super happy and excited.
On the other hand, adding Thorzain to the EG roster won´t make them automatically awesome in team events. On paper, EG should have been way more successful there with their star players. Time will tell, if Thorzain is simply a natural strong team player or if he was so good in those events, because he played for a team that puts so much emphasis on team spirit and team play. It is a fact that every of Mouz core players is performing extremely well in clan wars, not just Thorzain.
Another thing that bothers me are some posts, that he will finally play in more events as opposed to his time in Mouz. Mousesports has never shown reluctance to send their players to places all over the globe to compete in the tournaments they wanted, be it US, Brazil, Ukraine, China or South Korea. He could even stay in Korea for a longer period of time if he wanted. Morrow was just there for three months and Mana is planning to go there some time this year. I think it is this special opportunity to stay at the slayers house (a team he is close to), that Mouz could not offer and made the difference.

Lol. People are so mad. I don't understand why.
Have you guys even heard of EG before SCII? I think you guys should catch up on some history and take a look at their past achievements and lineups in other games. They have money. They are a top professional gaming organization. Imagine being a millionaire and buying a used car for a thousand dollars. Makes no sense right?
|
Surprising. I was thinking about who was the best foreigner and despite everything I think Thorzain might be it. I hope he starts believing like I do. I think he could become the best period. (.)

Holy expletives!!
Did not see that coming but right now I couldn't think of anyone better to join EG than Thorzain. Really refreshing to see a non-Korean pickup.
EG Fighting!

To be fair, the same can be said about Mousesports. They may not be as wealthy as EG, but they played a huge role in developing the Esport scene in EU. SC II is also not the first game they had success. Before that, there was Counterstrike, WC3, Quake, Dota and so on.

I'm not comparing the two. People are just assuming EG (the organization) is just a joke.
