You know Zenio, Hero, Taeja, and Hero haven't made all their prize money while just on TL as well right? Did the math and about $27,000 should be axed from their total just like you did with EG. Kinda funny that you proceeded to do that for EG but not for TL.

I sincerely hope this doesn't come off as shitting on this thread but I am wondering if a new sub forum (something like 'eSports' or 'Teams/Players') should be created for these types of announcements. This announcement (which I'm sure plenty of people are interested in) has almost no relevance to SC2 and there seems to be a lot of these types of announcements cluttering up the SC2 General forum these days along with "So-and-so switches teams" types of posts.
Grats on the new sponsor though!

I hope EG adds more members to the team so they get better practice at the lair instead of adding salary to their already deep pockets.

I didn't bother to calculate that because I was calculating EG's rank, not Liquid's. I only even brought up Liquid's rank because it was the rank they would take with their adjusted winnings, meaning they would be higher than Liquid. I was only calculating EG's rank. I don't honestly care about the EG/Liquid rivalry, but you shouldn't count any contributions that came from other teams.

People like you who even bother calculating and arguing this stuff are killing esports. move on

No! People who accuse people of killing esports and waffle cones are killing esports!

Basically RaidCall is the Skype of asian gamers. It uses way less ressources but it's really not an issues for most western gamers.
It's really not that bad of a software, tho. Actually, it looks like it lags a lot less frequently than skype.
If you have a good ventrilo or ts server, don't bother. If you don't, you could give this a try. Let's show the world that if something sponsors eSport, that we give them all the love back. Who know? Maybe TeamSpeak, Ventrilo or Skype will sponsors TL if RaidCall suddenly gain a lot of NA or EU users.

It's just dumb that you have to read through this every fucking time EG posts a fart. This time even twice.

What about Fnatic? Is Raidcall going to drop them or keep them as a sponsored team?

Not interested in a thread related to eg? I have a solution, don't open it!!! I mean, you just need to read the title to get what is going on. There is nothing like "i have to read" here.

Dallas cowboys are the highest valued sports franchise in the US, the second in the World. They have not won the superbowl since 1995. Whether you like it or not EG is certainly the highest valued Esports organization in the US and is certainly near the very top of the world. Esports is more than SC2 and EG has been at the forefront of the NA scene since CGS and has been in existence for over a decade. From what I know of their monster sponsorship this one must be massive to have purchased the title sponsorship, what this means is that EG will be likely to pick up some new players (Suppy already announced) and they may seek out teams in more games than they currently have. This type of sponsorship is good for everyone and anyone angry about the nomenclature EG uses in their press releases needs a reality check.

You still can't chop off EG's total and put them at 7th, when you haven't done that same "normalization" to every single team. If you do it with every team, then they are obviously going to be higher than 7th.

I could definitely use a program that uses up less resources. Every one of my SC2 settings are turned down to the lowest possible =( I envy my friends who have 10 tabs open on their browser, skype, steam and still ultra settings on SC2.
Never had a problem with lag or delay on skype though. Vent, however, was pretty bad. It was annoying to hear my housemate's voice across the wall first and then echoing through Vent a moment later.

EG are the most successful non Korean team. I don't understand where this bullshit about bad results comes from.

The next master's cup should be interesting. I like that they're going for more fan-player interactivity. How they will manage that should be interesting.
