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. | ||

Less fortunate teams cannot play SC money ball style because starcraft is not a team based game. Specialists don't really work except in team leagues but individual wins are way more prestigious than ipl tac or gstl. When a team takes all the players that produce results before joining said team, that creates a monopoly because on paper, all the good players are on one team. Thus the EG curse. I call it karma. Universe is working as it should be. No. No, no, no. That's retarded, seriously. Most progamers are working their asses off for very little pay. EG is the only one that offers players a fair full-time salary for a competitive player. Asking players to make less money just because it's more honorable or some stupid shit is retarded - we NEED players to get paid more, consistently, by more teams. EG is the only one on the right track. | ||

Good luck to Stephano and his future team. A million times this. DPB always has an abundance of quality posts in threads like these. This whole things is silly and honestly surprised this thread is still open, because really it's all just speculation until this whole deal actually goes through. I'm also surprised that many of you (including Stephano's die hard fans) would be upset that he went to a team that's obviously going to pay him well and take good care of him. Man this community hurts my brain sometimes with it's logic. edit: spelling | ||

Thank goodness there's a non-Korean organization out there that can actually be self-sustainable and profitable while providing its employees with decent remuneration. | ||

Mana told in one of several interviews that he earn 13,5k yearly at mouz. I can say that because he made it public. So it means MaNa receives pretty much the same salary as Adelscott. I thought Mouz paid his players better. | ||

They have sick protoss-players in JYP and HuK, awesome Terrans in Puma, Demuslim and Thorzain, and virtually no competetive Zergs, barring Suppy, who's still sort of dark-horsey, since he hasn't been in the picture for long. No offense to Machine, who is certainly decent, but hasn't been able to show really impressive tournament results. You may, or may not be(but probably are) retarded.

i only hope that eg can sustain all these purchases and contracts though, they must be mighty expensive. and i hope they figure out a way to keep their players from not sucking once they join. but it hardly matters. stephano is smart, make as much money now, and then get into med school. its not really proven that esports is going to go anywhere when its just as likely to collapse horribly in a few years, so definitely a bad idea to sink your entire life into gaming. | ||

Continuing to hate on EG for paying players what they deserve. The double standards in this community amaze me. You want esports to be successful but you hate the only successful (business wise) team | ||
