Hehehe, EG sures knows how to get the good players. I'm glad they'll always be here to support the scene, cause it sounds like other teams don't really provide enough money as incentive for their players to stay active. Thorzain was talking about how he was going to consider going to school until EG contacted him...

Another great pickup by the Yankees.

Love how the same trolls said nothing about Zenio and Taeja. Obviously TeamLiquid "poaching" Code S players is much better, right?

lol wow, you have no idea what you are talking about. Zenio and Taeja both left oGs and Slayers respectively before TL acquired them. and oGsTheWind even approached Nazgul about signing Zenio so he could still stay in the oGsTL family.

Right, because somehow making offers when a player is unemployed and on a financial clock is somehow more honourable than making offers when they're employed and still have leeway.


Even if you were somewhat articulate and could form a coherent argument I still bet it would be stupid.

Seriously?

Negotiation periods exist in contracts for a reason. They let players try to get good deals while they still have the financial security of the remaining period of their current contract.

There is absolutely nothing "more noble" about buying a player when they're unemployed. Whether it was intentional or not, TL picked up Zenio and Taeja when they had less leverage at the bargaining table.


Your painful stupidity and blatant disregard for common sense and basic understanding of contracts has given me no other choice than to tell you that you are wrong.


Please enlighten us then on your brilliant interpretation of contracts.


I can answer it in his place. I think I've understood how he likes to make his arguments.

This thread is hilarious. Teams sign players who have shown good results? Jesus Christ, there must be foul play at work here!

You wouldn't have a 90 page thread complaining if someone was hired by a firm because he had a lot of experience and did well in his previous jobs, would you?

Simply moronic.

Also, people should really read the post before commenting. Half the posts moronic and/or depressing. Balls.

You would probably have something worse if an real sport teams number one star jumped to their direct rival team. I can't recall Barca fans being super happy when Figo joined Madrid.

Although I'm not one of the people crying about this.

Problem is that is the ONLY players they sign it seems.

Wasn't EG supposed to be an all american team, or have they completely abandoned that idea now?

Iirc the SC2 division started out as pure american? Probably some people got the idea from there taht EG will stay "mainly" American.


To bad NA fails to deliver talent ^^ (eh.. No.. i mean "winners")

So? So does a lot of other teams. Just because other teams don't have enough resources to buy the calibre players that EG have doesn't mean they don't go after as good players as they can find. There's not a lot of teams that "grow" their own players from nothing and it's stupid to expect every team to do this, especially with teams only having a handful of players on the teams. Unless a player have shown some very good promise it's a risk to sign such players. Sure there are teams that have academies or qualifiers to find players but it's quite rare these players turn out to actually be a good players. It's a business they are running, not a charity. People make it sound like there is a huge pool of "unknown" players that's just waiting to be signed and turned into great players. Those people are living in a dream world.

Yeah, it's really silly, they have a team house, which means that out of any team in the world (outside of Millenium I think) they have an opportunity to take up-and-coming players, let them live in their house and play 12 hours a day.
They should try and grow some NA talent in my opinion.
