Interesting to see someone join EC after the negative publicity with the "mass-leave".
GL to both sites!


Yeah, I was also thinking EC was finished regarding SC2.

If they haven't the funds to pay Scarlett and DesRow, how can they support Sjow?
Well, let's see how long this relationship holds...

When did anyone ever say they didn't have the money for Scarlett and desRow?

People can be so clueless and make so much stuff up, as can be seen in this thread.

If you think about it, it's a very obvious reason.

Players need money to continue their careers. It's a fact, and oftentimes that need has to overcome team loyalty, for obvious reasons. This doesn't make a player the bad guy.

All the players that left Eclypsia said they did so because the management made claims they couldn't follow up on and had too much ambition for where they were actually at. However, they all said they were paid fine and the contract was not broken, just that they miscommunicated goals. Furthermore, NaNiwa recently mentioned in his real talk that Dignitas is very "safe" with their money, not willing to take risks and invest a lot of money into a particular player.

SjoW left Dignitas for EC because they offered him more money. It is as simple as that, and it makes perfect sense.

Doesn't look like it unless Sjow and Eclypsia are trolling us all O.O


Well Morrow tried with ICA. I wouldn't be surprised if they all went that way XD

-_- Ain't seen Sjow do anything for a while anyway so meh.

Sjow out, Naniwa in.

Makes sense from a Dignitas standpoint.

what a week for transfers. Weird to see Sjow join EC, I didn't expect EC to continue to grow after the mass exodus which occurred a few months ago.
TL Mafia. Love it. Play it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=31 I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me.

This makes sense, I'm not sure why people are screaming "troll." I believe Naniwa in his Real Talk with JP mentioned Dignitas doesn't pay ridiculous money for players and that's why he moved on originally.

Eclypsia made some PR mistakes but that doesn't mean they are not a legitimate team. I believe desRow said the 4 of them left over a clash of focus/vision for the SC2 team. He also said the players were paid everything they were owed according to contract.

I wonder if Dignitas will now extend an offer to Naniwa since he made it clear on Real Talk that it's where he wants to be.

Problem is... is he really worth that extra money? Sure he seems to be a nice enough guy, but has he really accomplished anything recently?

That's... not good for Sjow. Seriously there's a reason (or five) for the mass exodus from team Eclypsia.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

That "insider" has been making stuff up as well so I wouldn't believe the post you're referring to
