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.

I still haven't managed to get used to EGThorzainRC, it will take a lot longer to EGStephanoRC. Soon probably it will become EGStephRCMonsterCocacola, but who am I to judge?

The only downside of this drama that is happening around Stephano joining EG is that incontrol is glued to the forums and has constant urges to post while nobody else in his team gives a fuck about what people say.

If I was a top progamer and got an offer from the "best" foreign team there would be no reason for me not to take it.

Never heard of that one before...I think hes a cool dude and he would fit in any team.

Worst kept secret of all time? At least the HuK signing kept us guessing for a while.

the data chart pretty meaningless because the major tournaments people care about are GSL (#1), MLG, Dreamhack, and perhaps NASL and homestory. and puma's been getting pwned in those

money earned isnt as important as prestige. you can win tons of minor little cups but nobody cares. when was puma's last major victory? NASL last year?

EG curse alive and well.

stephano doesn't care about what tournaments people care about. he's on a limited pro career and needs to make as much money as possible.

why would he care about prestige?

Both HuK, PuMa, Thorzain and Idra have won major tournaments while in EG (IEM, WCS Sweden, NASL, MLG).

There is no EG curse lol, its just something you guys here like to talk about so you can have something negative to say about EG.

I dont think its only money that is driving him anymore, probably was like that last year, but he is not participating in all the small cups anymore etc.
He is now aiming more to become the best and to be recognized as one of the best, he also want to participate in the GSL, taht si not where you want to go to make quick money (Ofc the prizes are huge, but its so damn hard winning it!!).

From EG Info page : "Players and teams within EG ... have brought home championship trophies from every major gaming tournament circuit in the world ..."

Not so true for SC2 unless you count players achievements (before joining) and not team achievements.
Its a big overstatement to me.

Was it not at the latest MLG Puma made it into pool play through the open bracket and then went on to top his pool? I wouldn't really call that getting pwned. Unless obviously the only deciding factor for players these days is who gets first place

oh its mister "quick money from a computer game" Stephano again.
Well...if its true congrats...you achieved to join the Real Madrid of Esports.

Hopefully everything will went well...that Complexity/Millenium Contract Story was really bad from my point of view.

No doubt about that ...
I think it was around the time when Stephano just left a tournament or did not show up to a teamleague because he felt it was to late for him?

I don't have anything against any of the EG-Players. But the constant advertising of their sponsors gets sooooo on my nerves, i will never ever buy a can of Monster, I have seriously grown a physical disgust for that stuff whiteout ever having had even a single sip ^^.
EG just shouts corporate hore/sellout at me and i really, really dislike that... I know why the players do it, i understand it, i still dislike it and therefore really dislike EG (well, mainly the management).

That does not make me (or anyone else) dumb, stupid or naive like some here seem to think.


Btw: Mindlessly putting loads of money into a sport has already killed for instance the first(?) American Soccer league, which had to restart "small".

If you don't take first place you're either terrible or in a slump.

so winning 2 MLGs, 2 IEMs, 1 NASL and an Asus ROG don't count?

They're depending on the money from their sponsors, so of course they do everything they can to show Monster and Co that their investment was worth the price.

Did you not see the word EVERY? so I guess GSL, IPL, ESWC ... dont count?

Incorrect. May want to check your facts regarding player achievements AFTER joining EG.

It's okay to criticize and hate on teams (EG in this case) but at least make the effort to be factually correct.

Does it make sence to have 12 sponsors on your team shirt?
