It's just that puffery may be legally okay but I don't believe it meets standards we ought to hold ourselves to on the forums. If a statement isn't meant to be taken seriously, it must have some value outside of its literal meaning in order to be worth our time, like humor.
The relationship a consumer has with an advertisement is very different from the relationship one of our forum members has with a post. When claims are made that can't be backed up, especially by people who are not veterans of our community, we call bullshit and get rid of them.
edit: In other words, if everyone thinks puffery is now a perfectly acceptable defense of claims made in posts, then you've all lost your fucking minds. lol. the basis for puffery is that a reasonable consumer would understand that it is bullshit, and so its not legally enforceable. so, the gist of your statement is that tl.net forum readers (who should be marginally technically savvy) are less intelligent than a reasonable consumer and need to be coddled like children. if that is what tl.net is turning into, they truly have lost their fucking minds. edit: oh, and EG didn't post it on this site. a forum user did. holding EG to your standards on their own website is kinda iffy.
Really guys... I will tell you a secret, there is a lot of retarded shit going on in this world because people that earn money have realized you can do it. It does not stop it from being retarded and there is no reason why we should lower ourselves to that level.
We are the future of this world, we should aim to improve it, not accept shit because it used to be there.
Anyway this is getting off topic, gratz to EG. More companies in esport = good.

What an informative post, it's almost as if you could skim past that.

Awesome shiznit EG!!
EEEEEEEGGGGG Phucking all !!!

Why is this getting a news on the TL main site, but Tod's departure from Fnatic (which is much more important than reading something about the PREMIER PROFESSIONAL WORLD-LEADING gaming team) isn't?

Well everytime they have to present something it is IdrA and incontrol who are presenting. So this is no surprise, why do they get so many good sponsors. As long as IdrA and Geoff will have popularity, sponsors won't be problem for EG. Simple logic

Why is this getting a news on the TL main site ? And why so late ? I'm wondering...

Because it's huge news?
It was never put up on Community news when I posted this, so it's just going up now I assume.

^Exactly this.
I like a lot of people on EG, but their results have been AWFUL lately. HuK is the only person reeling anything in lately and he's been slumping, too.
EG is a lot like the Washington Redskins of eSPORTS. They are not getting good results, but they have probably the most successful business side of any team out there.

So that three-kill JYP scored against Fnatic is already old news?

Let's see if now they start doing "Play with the pros" stuff like Fnatic did to promote RaidCall, even tho I highly doubt it.
