Think before you post. This should go without saying, there are so many people making absolutely idiotic comments in this thread. If you have nothing constructive to say, please don't say anything. | ||

We maybe could change it to "worst code A PvTer at the time" in which case it's not saying much given the level of talent in code A. And yes you could nitpick about whether it was technically the first round of code A that he won, but it does seem like you're intentionally ignoring the gumiho victory which is interesting. Where the fuck do you see me ignoring his victory over gumiho ? I stated that he finished 3rd in his code s group which implies that he beat someone. Yes I didn't name the player he beat but because that wasn't the point. You talked about some imaginary "code a performance" so why should I bring gumiho in this discussion ? he beat him in his code s group. | ||

So in your opinion, every team, sponsor, league, player etc. can do whatever they want financially and if it doesn't work out - well, god didn't want it to happen that way then... I like to think a bit more pragmatic: There are things you can do that benefit SC2 as an industry, but there are definitely things that can turn out to be harmful. I'm not saying what EG does will definitely destroy SC2 as an eSport, but from what eSport should've learned with WC3 (which was incredibly huge for a long time, especially in China), EG is doing sth. that is worth talking and thinking about to a greater extent. Besides that, I don't think EG is doing themselves a favour by picking up good players from other teams, often surrounded by a controversy and often leaving the former team in the rain with one of their best players now on EG. EG didn't do anything to grow Stephano as a player as of yet and other recent pickups like Thorzain also didn't benefit from the transfer (as of yet), so for me, it looks like EG is taking credit for the hard work of others, just by handing out huge amounts of cash. Therefore, just getting bigger because they are already big, absorbing other players/teams.... You can see how that can lead to a problematic situation if it goes on exactly like this, right? Makes them look greedy, overly money-dependant, insecure with their line-up as it was before the new acquisition and insecure in their ability to develop and help new talents. Thats why I think the pick-up of Suppy was much smarter from EG and made them appear in a more sympathetic light. | ||

Well if he truly has that practice schedule i doubt a kespa team wants him tough. Unless they find a way to make him practice as much as the rest. | ||

I bet he'll coninue to dominate, just now while getting a shitton of money. You talk as if he has been in several teams. He's only been in Millenium so far. | ||
