Here, let me fix it for the easily upset: "Founded in 1999, Evil Geniuses is a good video game team that tries really hard and has the best intentions for everyone everwhere. We hope you think of us as a humble group of individuals that enjoy gaming." | ||

"One of the world's best" would be good, sorry but THE WORLD BEST was a bit too much. | ||

Have you ever seen a commercial in your entire life? I think there is 5 different toothpaste brands who are "the most used by Swedish dentists". That's how marketing works. You don't go out and market yourself as "we're good, not the best but we are ok at what we do." | ||

I'm not entirely sure who profited more from the relationship since Slayers isnt a exactly prime team but it had celebrity status, but EG, lets be honest, really lacks substantial depth. JYP and Puma are ex-promising players. Huk is not even in the radar. IdrA is getting to cliche. The rest are not even anywhere near the necessity of mention. BUT, if EG buys Team 8, FUCKING GET IT ON! | ||

I should have added "very likely to disband " instead. Team 8 currently has no sponsors and Kespa is paying the players' salaries and living expenses. Without getting a decent sponsorship they are very likely to disband and its a topic thats been discussed on korean forums so much lately. | ||

Seriously now, how can they say they're the world's best video game team? Best at what? because it's not starcraft, it's not dota 2 either. They have some of the best SC, DotA 2, SF, etc. players. They've also had tons of success in the past. It's a combination of having really good teams in TONS of games, as well as having a legacy that spans more years than a majority of e-sports entities. | ||

EG is a very strong team, just got to remove some 'not so much pro' players. you know who you are, find yourself other things to do or DO BETTER some of their players? you wanted to say half the team? LzGamer, Incontrol, Machine and Demuslim never do well in offline tournaments. And i would even fire Idra because he is not professional, he is bad mannered and not a good sportsman. | ||

That's how marketing works. You don't go out and market yourself as "we're good, not the best but we are ok at what we do." Really? That would be illegal here, at least for four of those brands, because all claims of fact must be correct. Interesting. Of course, "best videogame team" is maybe vague enough that it wouldn't count as much of a claim of fact. Anyway, obviously EG.MMA incoming. :D | ||
