Sounds like a nice honeymoon :p

But not really sure if EG can defend their own team-house even with Huk, Stephano, Thorzain, Idra, JYP and Puma having their main base there. At least if they plan to have the standard Huk wants with cooks and maids and shit.

I think a deal with TL would be a good idea though, something similar to the way the newest Slayers-apartments are set up with 1 apartment where they live and then another one for food and training.

Crazy speculation here but considering that EG is heavily leaning and hinting towards a training house in Korea does anyone else think EG has acquired not only Stephano (who is currently residing in Korea) but also Naniwa? Naniwa has been training in Korea for the last couple of weeks or so in an undisclosed location leaking little to no information about his where abouts, considering we know that EG has had some involvement in his situation with Quantic is to far fetched to think he may be announced as a new player in the upcoming weeks along with a training house involving him, Stephano, Huk, Thorzain, JYP(Who was on friendly terms with Naniwa at IEM disregarding the incident), and Puma?

As unlikely as this is the pieces fit together rather nicely.

naniwa is at the gom house.

Yeah, ever since MMA, there's been:

Crank leaving + Drama
Getting all-killed in the GSTL
LOSING FUCKING BOXER
Now ending the EG partnership.


Losing Boxer was the major hit, and it is a big one, since Boxer is the heart and soul of Slayers. Losing Crank also sucks, but Genius joined (which somewhat evens out I guess). Ending the EG partnership is irrelevant, I feel.

Since when does making the GSTL finals mean that the team is going downhill? Yeah, we got all-killed, and that sucks, but the finals are the finals. People give Slayers shit for getting all-killed, but often forget that Prime, Liquid, Startale, and SK-IM won a total of 0 GSTL matches between them last season. Prime, Liquid and SK-IM also got all-killed too.

Fine, EG can have TaeJa, but only if Liquid` gets to keep PirateTerran and LiquidSucksBallswithoutMe.

I won't dispute that. JYP was really clutch for the team this season, and it will suck to lose him.

Except when you have it in contract which will make you more than few weak tournament wins.

In terms of all-around presence, that's probably true. Fnatic and dignitas might be able to challenge that, but EG has extremely good presences in Dota 2, Starcraft 2 and the fighting game scene, plus the remnants of World of Warcraft. They've also still got n0thing so they haven't completely severed their ties with CS.


Kespa teams are 10x bigger and better than EG, wtf are you smoking?

People seem to be confusing best video game team with best SC2 team. Just so you know, SC2 isn't the only video game played at a competitive level.


And Korean doesn't only play SC2.


Indeed, plus teams like SK have all sorts of sports teams as well, but that's getting really off-topic. -_-

Agree with the Emperor though: hard work, hard work, hard work for the payoff. Unfortunately most players don't know the meaning of hard work. Crack them with whips. Work them to the bone. Let's see how much they actually enjoy the game.

Stephano won another grand a couple of days ago by crushing three more Code S Koreans.

unless his contract says he has to go to Korea he wont. GSTL pays too little to each player. He would rather just hangout in the nice EG house, go out to MLG/NASL and finish his standard top 8-top 4 and collect the easy money from weak foreigners and lose to the stronger koreans.

The only motto that matters in context of this dicussion.

Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn’t Work Hard

Stephano's one of the most talented players there is. I think he probably got a taste of a strong training regimen at TSL house when he was there, but he wasn't there long enough imo to really get to a level that would ascend him to his current levels and become the great foreigner hope. Maybe he can manage something like that with EG over time though - he has confirmed EG house all they do is really practice and play - too bad it hasn't translated to any massive results (hard to attribute Thorzain's WCS Sweden win on EG training, it's probably more to do with SlayerS house training).

That being said, when it's all said and done. I hope SlayerS does come out ahead of this and doesn't slowly crumble apart though.

Pretty inevitable imo. These partnerships do come across as primarily being more about convenience / publicity than any true desire to forge a long term relationship of eternity.
