Hm, well it is true that champions of other sports earn fame, rings, trophies, etc., whereas for eSports it's largely straight cash. As time goes on, the chances that someone will remember who won what event will decrease, so the fame factor is not so big. It seems to me that practice pays off more in sc2 than in a lot of other sports (as in traditional sports is about who wants it more on game day, whereas esports is more like who has wanted it for the past x months. Could be wrong but that's just my stance). So if that's true, who wants to win more, the guy who's salary IS the prize money, or the guy who's salary is already 8x the prize money?

I don't see a problem with one of the best foreign sc2 players in the world making a half decent sallary. $96,000 a year..... whereas the best atheletes in other sports like baseball, hockey, basketball, are making 60-200 times that amount (not including endorsements). Most golf tournaments have over 1 million dollar prizes for the winners... same with tennis major tournaments.

What from I can tell, it looks like the picture is trying to tell us that Stephano and MC are actually the same person in disguise. EG has owned this guy the entire time and is trolling us.

Stephano brags about not practicing that much anyway so why would it effect him

Finally something someone wrote in this thread makes sense.


No, it's irrealistic. We won't wait 3 days until surrender, few hours are far enough :D


Yes we would surrender in the few hours (minutes ?) but you have to send a letter to surrender and considering that the French post (La Poste) would be on strike the letter would only arrive 3 days later !


You guys are all so awesome. I was having an internet conversation that made me feel kinda lame earlier so felt like saying something silly and I'm glad you guys enjoyed it so much.

Because the coincidence is only there if you blindly hate on EG.

Team Liquid pays players more than Korean teams. So does Fanatic, Complexity...basically every single foreign team in existence, hence why Korean want to join foreign teams. Because they get a salary.

The coincidence only exists if you ignore every success that EG has had and every non-EG player that gets a good salary.

I can't say I'm not surprised but still waiting for the official EG announcement. Goodluck to him when he joins.

Because only a simpleton would believe such a ridiculous thing from a coincidence. You're blind if you think only EG is in this position. Half the sc2 teams are not posting a lot of results. The only difference is EG has money, and for some reason people seem to think this is a bad thing.

Also, Wolfinthesheep, a few posts above this, worded it nicely.

EG probably signing someone else at the same time and wants to create maximum hype. Naniwa quiet lately. hm.

After getting a personal sponsor, is he supposed to bitch and cry out for a team and more money?

I love Naniwa personally but that just isn't going to happen. I think he's even blocked Tfunk on twitter, haha.

If EG cared about their roster being composed of close buddies, they wouldn't recruit 2 players who can't even talk to the rest of the team.

Idk, why do politicians bother talking at all? I don't know, they certainly never say anything note worthy.
