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 doubt that will happen. They dont have a certain number of people they are allowed on their team so they can keep both.
Machine also is very valuable to the sponsors even if he doesnt do that well in tournaments. He is in all of those kingstonhyperx commercials etc. There is more value to teams then just doing well in tournaments.


or they could get someone who is good in tourneys and commercials, plus it must feel pretty shitty to be on the team as the "commercial guy"

The good talents it gets just get worse. I'm still feeling bad for Huk.

If this is true, gl to Stepano and EG and I hope the partnership will be good for everyone.

i wrote a 5 paragraph long answer but I missclicked and nowit's lost deep in the internet so I'll be short :

If players suck it's 90% of their responsibility and 10% of the team

HuK sucks because he's lazy and doesnt train, not because Eg tells him not to train, don't feel bad for him, he got what he deserved, Idra has been slumping and now he's trying to get back on the scene

See ? It's not the teams fault if their players are immature and dont want to train more than 5 hours a day and then play LoL for fun.

You must be good friends with huk if you know his training schedule that well.


Actually I watch interviews, SOTG, LiveOnThree and pretty all the content available and it's no secret that HuK spends a lot of his time playing LoL instead of practicing ( See MLG raleigh interview )

Ok so I made a few joke comments in here (more with the fun) but it is actually a really silly idea that Stephano will simply lose money based on getting more money with EG... Stephano has proven firstly that he is all about money and making more of it, I highly doubt he will simply go "making 6 figures, that's it for me" because he wants to be the wealthiest player to play (hell he's giving up being a doctor for SC2 which has been an extreme decision pacing through his mind for the previous year plus)

So will Stephano decline? No, in fact I would wager that he will be the inspirational boost that EG really needs. This year might have been the Year of TaejaLiquid but if EG plays its cards right it might be the year of StephanoEG.


Sorry to break it you, but you don't just become a doctor even if that's what you decide to do...


That's true... I know he wants to go to medical school and become a doctor, but does anyone actually know if he's on any relevant path to becoming one? You don't just snap your fingers and get in to medical school or become a doctor. Even if he's a really smart guy, it's a very hard thing to do. What's his progress so far in terms of education, if any?


These questions come up every day in a thread about Stephano. In a lot of EU countries you actually just snap your finger and you get into medical school or law school. You know there is a world outside of the US with different education systems etc.



This is a pretty ridiculous statement to say the least. Norway isn't a part of the EU but I think the school systems are pretty similiar, and to get into med-school you need ~58 "points" (these points are determined by your average grade * 10, with grades being on a scale of 1-6, 1 being the lowest and 6 the highest). So getting into medschool is no joke, at least not here but IDK with other euro countries.

In France, you can literally snap your fingers and get into medical school. Hard part is staying there. The first year is insanely hard (did a quick search, seems like about 20% manage to pass it). Next years are easier though but still require a ton of work...

I cant argue against that since I didnt watchany of that content,so I apology.But I still think its not fair to just say "hes lazy and sucks"

Try it in Germany - we probably have a 95%-failrate. We all know (especially Usain Bolt, Kobe Bryant, B.Roy...) that Germany has BY FAR the best Doctors on the Planet.

I wouldn't be surprised if Huk doesn't get his contract renewed with EG or switches to the LOL EG team if there is one.

Medical school is difficult in every country imho. and even my IT school only has 40% people passing first year. %of people passing != difficulty.

I'll tell you why.

They recruit players at the top.

It's incredibly difficult to stay at the top in SC2, the competition is fierce and the game just isn't discovered enough yet. The best player in the world can lose to a random guy on the ladder.

EG generally recruits the players doing the best. That means for players like Puma, Idra, Huk, Thorzain etc, the only way they can go is down.
If you recruit a player on a hotstreak, chances are they won't be able to maintain it indefinitely.

This is wrong on so many levels... EG doesn't recruit GSL champions so they can always get better, especially when they're in such well sponsored team. Players don't enter teams to get worse, they usually do to keep improving themselves with the help of top coaches and practice with other top players. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Stephano was in the background of Thorzains stream right now, along with what I think was Demuslim.

Yeah, even Puma and JYP, who have "Korean work ethic".

I love how all EG discussions always seem to loop back to the idea that players shouldn't get paid money.
Average means I'm better than half of you.
