Please stop with the jokes/posts that speculate something sexual or scandalous is at play here. They do not contribute to discussion and are generally of very poor taste.

Fuck EG, only ThorZaIN, JYP and PuMa are worth anything on that team.

What the hell could possibly inspire such fanatical hatred? I'm genuinely curious.

It's not "fanatical hatred" - it's been said numerous times before that players who join EG are substantially weakened as players.

Look at PuMa, HuK & JYP. HuK isn't even half of what he used to be.


It must be nice to live in a fantasy world where players decrease in skill once they switch teams. The rest of us however live in a world where HuK is not winning back to back championships not because he's become worse but because other players has become better. The korean training regime is starting to pull ahead at this point and once that ball gets rolling the skill level compunds manyfold within the teams.

So PuMa winning 2 straight NASLs after joining them and JYP's improving immensely vs. Terran shows that everyone who joins drops in skill? Who's the one living in fantasy land cause it's clearly you. PuMa went on a tear last year winning so many foreign tournaments after joining up with EG plus JYP has won a few extremely clutch games in GSTL this season for SlayerS so please before you start spewing ignorant bullshit then claiming it as truth just don't cause that is always the better option.


Reading comprehension? If you're arguing against CCsyph don't quote my post.

You're hatin'.

I'm not hating. My initial post was, admittedly, a little strong but it doesn't change facts. All you need to do is look at the player's Liquipedia pages.

I'll even post them here.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/PuMa#Achievements
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/JYP#Achievements
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/HuK#Achievements

Then look at the times they joined EG from their previous teams, there is a direct correlation supporting what I say.

You putting those up there actually dispproves your point seeing as how 2 out of 3 either stayed the same or increased :l

Well that's just not true.

PuMa joined EG 26/7/2011.

Before, and shortly after, that date he had numerous 1st place finishes. But as time has continued on they show a sharp decline. Same for HuK. Although JYP's achievement page is bare, I can talk from my own recollection. He used to be Code S calibre player, now he is struggling to get out of Code A, for what? 2 or 3 seasons now at least.

Look at PuMa, HuK & JYP. HuK isn't even half of what he used to be.

You mean PuMa, the guy who won NASL and never made GSL while he was on TSL, and then joined EG and won another NASL along with an IEM and continued to not be in GSL?

Or JYP, the middling GSL player who continues to be a middling GSL player now that he's on EG?

HuK is also the only non-Korean to win an MLG since the Koreans started playing in them, and he did it while on EG. Yeah, he fell out of GSL but so did Jinro. Is staying on Liquid to blame for Jinro's struggles?

Your post makes literally no sense.

How did this turn into another EG hatefest...?

On topic: There seems to be some larger issue at hand here, he definitely wasn't benched because his play wasn't up to par. Hopefully this is only a brief issue which Slayers & MMA resolve soon, seeing him on another team would be as heart breaking to me as when MC left oGs :<

Why are you arguing about something so useless? Jyp has struggled due to his PvT which has only improved recently. It's obvious you're an eg bandwagon hater.

That makes no sense and has no quantitative basis. What? So if I dislike EG and provide valid reasoning I'm a bandwagon hater which suddenly refutes everything I've put forward? Is this what the cool kids do now?

You're smoking something if you think PuMa hasn't done very well under the EG banner, I don't know if you really look at that Liquipedia page, but the players hes beaten in his tournament wins, and the ones hes barely lost to have been Code S calibre, or legitimate Code S players.

And JYP's vT record in the GSL has improved since hes been under EG. His latest GSTL run where he defended a Rain cheese showed some of his PvT improvement as well.
