It is good to see EG continue to solidify their financial position, hopefully this means another Master's Cup, a few more EG players in Korea and maybe a few more pickups. EG, unlike a lot of other teams, has not really tried to nurture players from the ground up (look at complexity's academy or Quantic's acquisition of Vile for examples) and instead just grab the top players at the time. I want them to really try to get a few promising players and bring them into the Lair rather than just grab a hot player like Stephano or Illusion.

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.

I wonder if EG picking up RaidCall will be the team's first move at moving away from SlayerS and trying to acquire MMA. If MMA leaves SlayerS on rather controversial grounds, EG may not really be able to pick him up without getting rid of their partnership with SlayerS; this might help give them even more financial support possibly to start their own EG team house in Korea if EG-SlayerS falls apart. But this awesome news, great to see more sponsors for the StarCraft scene.

I think a this point when asked to thank their sponsors they should only thank the important ones for times sake.

Illusion not hot enough for EG. But he will likely get picked up when he wins something big. And then the EG curse like always
