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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||
