I am trying so so so hard to see the logic that EG are villains for paying players more money than other teams, but I really struggle. They are a team, they want good results: so if their players don´t produce the results they feel is adequat they should just sit by and watch? Do they have some sort of obligation to not seek the best results they can for their team?

Also, what team in the world would NOT want the best players in their team?

Big gratz to Thorzain and EG!


They need to actually adopt a child and rear it to be a SC2 pro, otherwise EG is poaching.

Correction, the child needs to be one of the original EG member's child, otherwise it's poaching children from orphanages.


I was just about to correct you on that, but you did yourself.

Either what you said or they would have to go back in time and put the player on the first roster.
If you're not getting better faster than everybody else, you're getting worse.

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


lol when was EG supposed to be an all american team? They never have been in any of their titles.


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



But they had Grubby?

Grubby was signed as a WC3 player at the time.


He was still listed on their SC2-roster on their own page.


Yes EG had no interest in starting a WC3 team or division iirc.

This makes no sense to me.
Thorzain doesn't give EG anything that Puma/Demuslim couldn't have.
If they can get him into GSL that would change but at the moment I'm stumped.

Shame about mousesports - I doubt they'll recover but they had a good run.

He gives them results lol?

He's also more liked in the community and they can probably do alot of funny commercial with the "spoon terran" thingy!

Thorzain/Puma/Demuslim are different players with different styles. A lot of people are forgetting that unlike mouz, EG has a partnership with SlayerS.

Mouseports will be fine for now. They still have good players. Thorzain is better than Demuslim altough Demuslim is still good. He is also one of the maybe... 5? people who are mentioned or have been mentioned in the top foreigner talk since the beginning of SC2.

EG is so loaded with talent.

Maybe we should have TeamEvilGenises.net instead of TeamLiquid.net

As if taking Huk away from liquid wans't bad enough

Puma
Huk
Idra
Thorzain


Now EG can take home, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and the honorable mention (4th place)

I agree, I'm not nervous for mouz at all. The players just seem to be able to grow so much and become monsters in that team. Thinking of: MaNa, biGs, HasuObs, MorroW. Not nervous at all. :D

Great opportunity for thorzain and EG, a little sad for Mouz to have lost such a fantastic player

Mousesports were fine before they signed Thorzain, why wouldn't they be fine now?

Also, I'll be growing an EG-chinstrap in honor of my favorite player joining the team.

Thorzain have a much bigger fan following internationally than Puma and he's better than Demuslim. And there's no reason to think mouz won't recover.

Because times have changed.
Other teams have massively improved their rosters in both depth and player quality.
Moreover the pool of promising hopefuls is likely exhausted in Europe.
I'm sure mousesports can still do okay in team leagues but their winning days seem over.
