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? The owner of IKEA (Ingvar Kamprad) drives an old car :p And he's like top 3 richest in the world. On-topic: Love ThorZaIN and insanely happy this will make him keep on playing. Will take a while to get used to EGThorZaIN though Going to be awesome nontheless!
Also he buys his christmas paper after christmas because its cheaper.
He sure dont deserve to be rich, if ur rich u should use the money lol

Awesome news!!!
Grats to Thorzain and EG!
|
In my mind Thorzain was more of Good then Evil, but EG is very rich organization which means good money for him so im happy + good korean practice partners
oh and its EG-Slayers , and Thorzain is good friends with Slayers team so hope to see him in KR again

... 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. That is just a sematics. It is pretty clear mouz would renew the contract with ThorZain if EG was not there with the money and ThorZain decided to continue with playing SC2. For all intents and purposes they bought mouz player, you are correct though they did not buy him from mouz. Did you even read thorzains statement? It seems you didn't. He was going to quit progaming because it was not worth it. If mouz can't provide him what he needs and he's about to quit, why are people blaming EG for keeping him in the game? Why don't you read my post again, your post has nothing to do with what I wrote. It does, you say "well if he decided to continue playing". Well he didn't, he decided to quit, but then he got an offer that made him decide to continue another year. It has everything to do with what you wrote, since you got it all wrong. You base your bashing on EG on "ifs", that's pretty silly. Your understanding of the words I wrote is very iffy if that is what you got from that. And my bashing of EG is not based on any ifs, it is simply based on my intense dislike of them. And my dislike for EG has nothing to do with my post you reacted to.
Oh you're like that.

Excellent video, well made lol nice TSL 3 chess game reference to.
Really great news I am glad that Thorzain was able to reach a decision to continue his career.
Good luck on your partnership, team, and future games!

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. Dude, i seriously don't care if he was a free agent or not and i'm not gonna edit my post because of some nitpicking. I also don't care about Thorzains motivation and i don't see anything wrong with EG buying him or Thorzain going to them. But that does not mean i have to like it or get all "EXCITED OMGWTF!!!" about it? I honestly wouldn't care much if Thorzain retired, i'm happy he isn't but i, in general, seriously wonder anyway why any western european is doing this progaming thing full time whiteout a serious backup plan, the payout just does not seem to be worth it. Did yout hink i was pointing out Teamleague success of EG for no reason? EG is underperforming in Teamleagues. Thats all i said and wanted to say. As it stand i see the richest team buying/signing the foreign (which means markeateable) player with the most recent success... YAY FOR MONEY! Btw: Saying "EG SWOOOOPED in" and saved us from Thorzain retiring is one of the most hilarious things i have read in a long time . Did they also "SWOOOP" out and send Axslav into unemployment?  . To sum my point up: EG buying Thorzain is a smart business decision. I don't like SC2 (Gaming/Esports) in general being a (pure) business. So i don't like signups like this in general.. No matter if Liquid is doing them or EG... Or anyone else. Your ramblings about how terrible money is isn't very interesting to read either To mcc: If you dislike something without even being able to verbalize why you do it, have you considered that it may not be very interesting to anyone else to be reading about it? If you had arguments or some actual foundation for your "intense" feelings it may have been something worth reading about and discussing.
Am able to verbalize it, but since I was not actually "bashing" EG in my post I see no reason to expand on it as it has nothing to do with what I was writing and he completely missed the point.

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.
EG lacks results? They have better results than any other foreign team. They've won MLGs, IEMs, NASL and have had top 3's at many of those tournaments as well.
Team Leagues are secondary. GSTL is the only one that really matters. The rest are online. I'm sorry, but online competition is just, its not fair. Outside of Thorzain, what tournaments were the rest of Mouz winning?

Haha, nice try. You're attempting to use facts and reasoning to debate someone who hates a team because its players care about fitness and have facial hair. The point Velr is attempting to make it seems is that Pro SC2 players should be broke, out of shape, and clean shaven.

They are not really foreign team or rather that distinction is meaningless now with Koreans being on nearly every roster. So you comparing them with foreign teams only is not really fair. You should compare them with all (but mostly Korean) teams. As for which "foreign" team can be compared to them. I would say 3 code S players are better than 0 and 2 code S Ro8 contenders are also rather better than what EG has achieved. I hope you know which team I am alluding to.

You actually made no point at all. All you did was fail to explain how acquiring thorzain was wrong in any way.

Ok... EG still has more titles than most teams, including Korean ones. And EG has 2 Koreans. How is comparing them to a Korean team fair when EG clearly focuses on foreign events?

The video was excellent :D I knew Thorzain was good, but never realized how many trophies he won...
And... iNcontroL and the other guys around the house being in on this was awesome As always (^_^)

And you still miss it. I was not saying it was wrong. I was objecting to you calling out people who say EG BOUGHT ThorZain from mouz (with emphasis on BOUGHT). You just saw that I disagree with you and baselessly assumed things, specifically that I am saying EG is terrible for buying ThorZain. If you did not assume, but read my post you would see what I was saying. Maybe you should try it.
