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...

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.


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

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.


Eh? You tried to claim that they took him from mouz, which is not what happened at all. You claimed that since thorzain "could" have signed with mouz had he continued with gaming (which he wouldnt have); saying they didnt buy him was arguing semantics according to you.

This is where you were wrong, and I pointed it out. For some reason you claimed that this had nothing to do with what you said. Which makes no sense at all.

There was not any definite statement that he already decided to stop playing and go to school in the linked article. So you harping on my if makes no sense. He was part of mouz when they approached him and if they did not buy him, he would either remain with mouz or went to school. That is why I said it was semantics, because statement that he was bought is correct and statement that EG bought mouz player is also correct. As I noted statement that EG bought him from mouz is not correct, but that people saying that probably mean the former - that EG bought mouz player. And that is why you were arguing semantics.

Of course now we are arguing semantics of arguing semantics, so lets leave it.

Yup, they'll ruin his life by paying him a salary, sending him to LANs, and using their connections to let him stay in the Slayers house. Horrible.

Yeah, it's not like Huk was there when he got top 3 and 4 in MLG's arena and championship, right?

Anyway... boom.
