Congratz to both sides.

EG is now by far the best foreign team in the world!


In terms of pure individual foreign talent, maybe... since they sign all the top foreign players that are available.

They still underperform in team leagues and sometimes even in individual tournaments, they've only made the playoffs for their own Master's Cup once. EG seems to do everything right in the marketing and management department but sometimes their players just don't put out results.

Congrats to EG. They just picked up the best SC2 foreigner and probably the most popular player. Their sponsors will love this move.

Congrats also to Stephano, if anyone deserves a big pay increase based on consistent tournament performances then this guy certainly does.

Hopefully both EG and Stephano can together help to grow the SC2 scene and make it more popular.

Are you guys blind? This is a rumor, not a fact. There hasn't been an official news yet, so stop saying this bullshit.

Not bad salary at all. Plus with other forms of revenue, and Stephano is swimming in cash
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

HE DID NOT JOIN EG! Rofl, are you guys retarded? Maybe you understand this:

The source also claimed that the value of deal is approximately $8,000 per month, although Evil Geniuses management would neither confirm nor deny the figure.


Of course they dont deny, because rumors are good for them.
