If he signs with SK i believe all that really happened was that EG helped him troll everyone...

Although i still do think it is EG

Funny how you tilt that SK logo, because the EG one is already tilted like that lol.

Now find me one where the EG logo is in the correct position. Everything in that photo is made to make people think he is going to SK, disregard the shape behind him even if it fits MC because it could really be anyone. The shirt is exactly the same though.

I still think he's going to EG and they made this to keep people talking, and it works.

The NASL cast does heavily imply that hes going to EG.

Rotty asks if hes going to see Stephano wear a lot more blue and stephano confirms with "working on it."
Frodan, ofcousre, drops a big hint.
Stephano is a quite sarcastic so he semi-confirms it while being very playful with his responses. He does call suppy a "good disciple" in game 1 of the gauntlet.

For anyone who thinks that Stephano goes to SK or MC leaves SK: SK management has said repeatedly that a) SC2 salaries are way too high (=> no Stephano), b) they won't build up a team for a game that is primarily played 1on1 anymore (=> no Stephano) and that they are very satisfied with MC being their only SC2 representative (=> no Stephano, MC not leaving).

I think it's just EG throwing red herrings to build up hype. They are a new media agency after all and won't let pesky journalists interfere with their Stephano campaign.

Recent interview with the SK manager: they want to focus more on some "stars" instead of a huge amount of players.

but EG should be the safer call

I think the reason to why EG has not come out with an official announcement is because it lost its thunder with the leaks and time passed, and that their silence keeps them in focus. I also think that the silence hurts them more than re-generating some of that "thunder". It will only be a "yeah, we knew" when they finally do it and the postponing just makes them look silly. Pretty much a lose/lose situation by now.

If he's going to EG and If it's a done deal, of course.

This pretty much demonstrates that since nothing is 100% right now the speculation and attention will continue to EG's benefit.

But it would be a rather bad "Plan B", don't you think? The only thing they can gain from this is some more hits on their site from eager fans. They don't really need this attention (which is a rather negative one at that) since they already are the #1 "buzz" team.

That means hes in the EG house not EG.

But it still means hes in the EG house and may end up having communication with the manager, i am just assuming... D:

Soo by now wouldn't it be the biggest troll in history of esports if ...(LOL here it comes)

- Stephano on EG payroll.
- EG does not announce Stephano being on EG (at all).
- Stephano living in EG house.
- Stephano starts wearing team EG shirt.
- Whenever there's any sort of media, Stephano and EG deny that there is any ties between the 2 parties.
- Stephano thanks the EG sponsors without mentioning team EG in any way at the end of interviews.
- and so on..
