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. | ||

While I don't think bad of EG for having the resources to do this, I would like there to be some variety in my players too. It isn't as cut and dry as some people are making it. | ||

The word you're looking for is not "Many" but rather "some idiots". | ||

Most American sports have salary caps, to keep the playing field more level and break up potential dynasties. Obviously a cap isn't viable for esports and won't be for some time, but there is certainly a debate over whether its better to have one or not. | ||

Obviously a cap isn't viable for esports and won't be for some time, but there is certainly a debate over whether its better to have one or not. There is no team in SC2 that has the market cornered on talented players. Players leave teams, teams disbands, and there's a lot of talent in Korea. I think most small teams just aren't willing or capable of shelling out a contract to keep a player like Stephano. I don't see why teams are entitled to keep players that they don't value as highly as other teams. Edit: I know that you're not necessarily saying that teams are entitled to players, but that's the impression I get from a lot of posts on this subject. It seems like people are advocating for the team more than the players. I don't think a cap is even close to necessary at this point | ||

Nearly every EG member has pretty much hinted at it, slipped up and mentioned his name, or just straight up said "Stephano" on purpose, and there have been other clues leading to such a conclusion (e.g. Stephano repeatedly practicing in the EG house), but there hasn't been an official announcement or statement made by EG that he has joined the team yet. I think. That might be because his contract hasn't officially started yet, or some other reason. Maybe EG is just super-trolling us too  | ||

I know this is 6 days after the post, but I just have to reply- Taeja, and Hero are better than anyone on EG easily, and the only one on EG who might have come close to taeja would be Huk in his prime... EG has nothing on Liquid, or CoL, or Fnatic, and is probably about even with Mouz now, too. | ||

There is so much untapped talent in the scene already, people need to stop being ridiculous. If you think about it most of EG can't compete with the best anymore. This is how it works, a player who is trying to make a name for themselves get on a good team who helps them grow. Once they start winning EG trys to buy them out with a big salary. They have to wait until the contract with the other team is over. By then the player has either passed their hotstreak/prime or once they get into the eg house their skill takes a dump or doesn't grow like the rest of the scene and they disappear from the scene. And then they buy the next big name to keep their numbers up to appease their sponsors. | ||

I don't know many football (European) fans that think the current state of the game is very healthy and positive. Especially the older ones that have been around through the 80s / early 90s, or earlier when the game was much less corrupt on every level. | ||
