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.

incontrol's own words " Sees cool thread about Stephano maybe joining EG. Opens thread. Closes thread. Apparently signing champions has become a bad thing.. ok. ._. "

i just have to agree with him.

This.

Definitely Stephano will become a shitstorm magnet now that he's in EG.
Culturally he's soooo far from american's standards and conventions. More than that, he just doesn't understands what "convention" means.

The sad part is that in EG he WILL have to repress his weird mix of awkward/ bold/ ambiguous/ naive/ fresh/ provocative and that is the cement of his personality and his uniqueness. His "special" factor.

He's too young to weight how a social and cultural environement that understands therefore and forgives your shortcomings and your weaknesses is important to professional growth.

My predictions is that:

He will join EG.
He will be forced to not be himself.
He will become unhappy.
He will begin to suck at SC2.
He will leave the scene.


Why would you say something like that? That's just dumb imo.

"If Stephano joins EG he will get bad at SC2 and unhappy?" Which player got unhappy joining EG?
Which player got forced to be someone else when they joined EG? Which player LEFT the scene after joining EG? Axslav is in a new team isn't he?


Strifecro/Louder/inka, any of these guys sound familiar? They all left the scene after joining EG. And of course (providing the hypothetical situation occurs) who WOULDN'T be unhappy if they couldn't be themselves?


So? They're low-calibre NA players, did you expect them to win a GSL? Hell, by your logic, the rest of the NA teams are cursed too because a bunch of their players just left the scene as well. Most of the remaining NA players aren't good.


My logic? He asked "who left the scene after joining EG?" and I answered with the players who have left the scene since joining EG. I fail to see a flaw in my logic, as I never once called them fantastic players or said anything about their skill at all.


Yeah, but that's thing. Everyone tries to point them out as "evidence" of EG sucking. Really, it's just NA players sucking. I doubt those playes would do any better on any other team. If teams like Quantic or compLexity got more attention, people would be talking about their curses and how their players just leave the scene or stay in the scene but get stuck in the bottom.

Stop over thinking this. He asked a question looking for names of players. I named said players. That has nothing to do with anything close to EG "sucking", NA "sucking" or anything other than Louder/inka/Strifecro have since left (or became significantly less involved with) the scene since joining EG

Good to hear, I like Stephano and EG does good work for their players. Now let the EG hate train continue. After all, it wouldn't be the NA scene if we didn't hate on one of our more successful teams. It is what we do. Cheering is for lesser fans.


This pretty much sums out the SC2 community. Hate on success. Cheer on failure.

Dear god, as one of the biggest fans of Stephano, I really hope that this is not true. I don't want to see my idol losing every tournament.

The only people on Liquid getting results are Taeja and Hero.

ROOT, if you consider that a team, got nothing. Mouz isn't doing very much either. Empire has their moments, but they're not winning anything either.

It's not like EG is the only team not doing spectacular. And even then, they actually are doing well. They're not winning, but they're certainly not doing the worst.

This isn't to say anything about Liquid or anything, I love most of their players in terms of personality, but they're certainly not very good (asides from the 2 I named. I don't consider Zenio to be very talented either).

Do you think posting this will help anything? Like haven't people already said this over and over again in this thread? but you just had to post it? Explain why you think so rather than just post "ok stephano will start to lose now when he joins EG" which is stupid.

Well, stephano will soon be cursed with the curse of EG, win nothing, get paid a ton, and have terrible results.

He can quite possibly be the only exception to the rule where not practicing ridiculously will still net good results because he has the actual talent to do so then again we have to wait and see.

Huh ? Best offer is subjective. If his choice won't make him grow as a player, i don't see why people would keep rooting for him as a player.

That's funny because EG gives it's players a ton of resources to improve as players and takes them all over the world. The only possible thing that could be a negative playing wise of being on EG is having to do sponsor type work which might give you less practice time. But considering Stephano isnt the type to do 12 hour days I'd guess it wouldnt hurt him.


Look how much good that did Thorzain+Huk.

Oh EG... Silly team that tries to buy the successful players.

Fail troll. Thorzain is just as good as he was when he joined and Huk had plenty of successfuly tournaments after joining EG. JYP is better since joining and Puma had plenty of success too.

I think I figured it out. EG is secretly owned by the E-Sports Federation. Every time a foreigner shows the potential to compete with Code S players, EG buys him. Then, using brainwashing methods borrowed from the Illuminati, they make sure that he doesn't remember how to win. This is how Koreans dominate, they simple remove the foreigner threats. Also, this is why EG players have a problem with Naniwa, it's because they didn't manage to sign him. So because they couldn't buy and brainwash him, they try to discredit him by talking shit. I hear coach Lee, who is running EG for the Federation, is pretty pissed with their failure and will probably force either Scoots or Garfield to commit sudoku if they fail again.

It is what we do here. I am starting to feel some backlash against the hate and negativity in threads, but we need more of it. Personally, I am pumped to see EG sign a great player. I was pumped to see DeMusliM get second place in WCS Europe. I will continue to be excited when EG plays.

Wow, not only is everthing you just said pretty absurd, but the image of scoots hunched over sheet of paper clutching a pen about to "commit sedoku" is actually hilarious.

Silly superstitions rampant in this thread. Stephano will continue to perform regardless of what team he is on. Why not be happy for a dedicated, intelligent, talented gamer? He's getting more money to do what he loves and he's doing what is best for him and his future.

Why hate on this like children?

Would the people hopping on the EG hate bandwagon please stop embarrassing yourselves and the community. You are contributing to the bad side/vocal minority of the community that everyone always laments. If you're dishing out general EG criticism and talking about the so-called curse in this thread, then make no mistake, you're a drama queen. You're inserting negativity into a thread where it's off topic. I know it might seem trendy to hate EG, and you might think it's fun to throw gas on a drama fire, but maybe be a little more mature with your posts. Actually why don't you just get the fuck out of the thread and go play SC2, the community would be better off.
