Keep in mind he said he was thinking about quitting altogether, so in this case EG's offer might be the difference between him playing SC2 and quitting to go to school. And his contract was expiring anyways, so I don't really see why people would be upset about this, although it is kind of boring for another great player to get bought up by EG, but what can you do? :-p I do hope they give him the support to keep training and playing well, though -- would hate to see him stick around another year and not post any good results, he's definitely capable of winning tournies.

I don't see any upset people?

I just see a rich team buying another player from a poorer, which in about any sport I know happens and is not exactly "liked" by just about anyone except the fanbase of the rich team?

In the case of EG it's just hilarious that they still lack the result although their whole roster consists of... the most expensive players there are/were at the time of the purchase?... They probably should just ask the teamleagues to sell them the trophy directly :D...


The real important questions are:
Has Thorzain yet recieved his life long stock of Muscle Shirts (which look terrible and as a sponsor i would prohibit my players wearing them in front of a camre) and his oversized cup to drink ugly looking protein(?) shakes AND most important his beard.

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?


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.


Nobody in their right mind would refer to them as a joke. It seems to be a well run organization. The way of doing things (big hype machine, spending huge sums) is just not everyones tea.

MYM for example consisted of pretty much the best WC3 players in the world at one point, but was still not universally liked in the community. Lets hope EG won´t meet the same fate as them.

... I don't for the life of me understand how people think they BOUGHT him from mousesports. Thorzain was out of contract, he was not in mousesports at that point. They signed a free player. Why are people so god damn thick.

Go ThorZain!

I can imagine how EG was like: 'Hey ThorZain, we want you here. Shut up and take our money'.

ThorZain just does his shy modest swedish style shrug with a little smile and takes it.

I guess you just saw the headline and immediately hit reply without reading? As mentioned at least once on every page so far Thorzain was going to focus on education unless a team could pay him more money. EG swooped in and delivered where no other team couldn't or didnt want to. Also since you claim EG hasn't produced any results, name any other foreign team that has a roster who has achieved as much as EG's players have as a whole with their GSL code S players and MLG finishes. Unless of course your argument was baseless. Not to mention EG's partnership with SlayerS is probably a big draw for players.

Just because many people complain about EG doesn't mean they don't have any fans. I would assume they are the 2nd most loved team in foreign SC2 outside of teamliquid. Mouz also must have many fans and they are probably number 3.

I really like EG and grabbing better players brings in more fans even if some people get upset.

thorzain's image of being a humble and immune-to-greed image has just been shattered.

Ya I know right. So selfish of him to want to get more money. Just yesterday I turned down a job offer because it paid too much. Im sure you know how that is since you posted this sentence.

People are so blind in their hatred of everything EG. I'm sure money was a factor in ThorZain's mind, but people are so quick to forget that with EG he will be training in the SlayerS house, arguably the birthing ground of the best Korean Terran's outside of MVP. To me that perk of joining EG seems to outweigh most everything else if I'm an aspiring SC2 pro. The fact of the matter is, EG is offering ThorZain incredible support in reaching his full potential as a player. You have be happy for him taking this opportunity, or at least understanding.

unlike football or soccer, in starcraft II the only jobs teams have is to provide them with a good training enviroment and market their players. EG is doing a good job with both of them.
