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. | ||

Now it's that the curse doesn't start right away...in that case I trust you're just as vocal about the liquid curse. In b4 "but Taeja!!1!" Idra was once the best foreign zerg and had some of the best zvt in the world, where is he at now? Puma was once touted as once of the most promising terrans in the world with the best tvp, where is he at now? JYP was once touted as one of the best protoss in the world with the best PvZ in the world, where is he at now? HuK was once a code S player and in the shortlist for best foreigner, where is he at now? Of course the EG curse is mostly a joke, but don't try to act as if it's not based on actual observations. So you wan't the EG curse to mean a literal curse? as if by just signing a contract with EG magically made you suck at starcraft? of course it's not going to be like that, if EG has any effect on the quality of their players, whether positive or negative, it would OBVIOUSLY take some time to be noticeable. Rather than trying to shut down the EG curse theory (which I remind you it's a joke and not real) try to find examples of players improving under the EG roof. | ||

Not that your theory that progamers are only motivated by money is valid. But hey at least you tried to string some reasoning together into an argument. Next time maybe your logic won't run into a brick wall lol. Well i will have to state again since you guys don't read everything. I already stated that there is no point in keep performing since most of the players contract still gets renewed aka lzgamer, machine, etc.. And incontrol already said plenty of times in SOTG that they DO consider a 20th to 30th place a great place so it's not that hard to achieve that when you are huk, puma, jyp or even stephano. | ||

I think that big raidcall sponsorship EG got recently basically pay for Stephano´s salery. I don't know how they are so good at getting sponsors but other teams defiantly need to copy the EG business model unless they want to see all there super players go to EG | ||

Well they are sponsored by Monster and they havent put M into their name and I believe that Monster is not giving them just drinks. so imagine how much they had to get from RC ! btw RC is awesome and it works amazingly good | ||

I do still wonder just because Stephano can't be cheap at all, and they already have a lot of hot pick ups that aren't very visible in the scene right now. | ||

Does anyone know the players' contract terms ? Who knows if EG don't collect money on their players' streams revenues once they're contracted (maybe the player gets less ad income monthly but gains stability on a 12 months forecast)? Tournament wins ? Ad revenues ? Youtube channel revenues ? Donations ? And so on, and so on. I don't, but many of them players get a lot of exposure, and as far as I know, exposure means money on the table. I'm sure it's a win-win situation, whether you like (some of) their players or not, EG management doesn't seem to have a history of silly economical moves. | ||

That raidcall is their main sponsor now is clear. however, what I'm asking is if raidcall is actually a major company with millions to spend. | ||
