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.

this is how you ruin a sport. the team with the most money to spend just buys players left and right and if they don't perform, they just buy new ones.

I wouldn't say so. KT Rolster did the same thing in BW and it just didn't work out for them until they grew the Ultimate Weapon. As long as a team can hold on to a few good players it's still fine IMO. And plus, if the players aren't performing then whats the point in keeping them? They'll just be traded off to other teams and then improve again.

Same goes for any sport really. You have to understand it's basically a business. Think soccer or football. Real madrid is basically the "EG" of the soccer world, assembling the dream team poaching players with a bigger paycheck than their current team can offer. These teams are basically cashing in on the current success of the player hoping to bring more attention to themselves and in turn more profit

In France, you can go to the medecine insitute right after the high school. Don't even need to be 18, just need to end High School with success.

But, medecine is an (obviously) well-viewed career path, for what i know TONS of people apply to it, but there are very few places at the end of the first year. Something like 100 places for 5000 students. So, competition is very hare there, and only the bests and hard-workers ones can go through it.

After that, you have differents career paths: some ends at something like 6 years, like the ones ruling a medecine-shop (don't know the english word). Apart from that: there's another selection the 6th or 7th year, where students choose a specific carrer path (surgery, brain-doctor etc...). Some ends in nearly 10 years of studying. So it's very hard to finish it with success.

To be a nurse, it's another school and it last 3 years: but, like the previous one, lots of people are doing it, and you have to make stages in every medecine parts (Psychatry, child cancer, burned people, urgency) which can be hard sometimes.

Really sorry for my litlle knowledge (haven't applied to medecine myself) and my poor english, but at least I hope it'll help to understand.

It was just an analogy lol i'm sure there are plenty of better examples, my main point is that in the end it's all about the money. I'm not hating on EG or any team, just first thing that came to my mind

They're just mad that EG actually takes the time to promote their sponsors (which actually will get you more sponsors, how about that), whereas an overwhelming majority of other teams' sponsors only get a miniscule shoutout at the end of interviews.

Except, they actually have the money, and aren't riding on the fact that they own the banks.
