Isn't EG the team with players living in the same houses around the world, some of them having been friends for years and who do shows involving each other all the time? I would argue that EG is probably the tightest SC2 team outside of Korea. Huk disagrees. | ||

I can see Ryung signing because he´s really tight with Crank but MMA sounds a bit more interested in money at this point. Technically it's run by Genna, TB's wife, TB just does the shouting or something. Whether they can compete with EG in terms of pure finances remains to be seen I guess. I did actually wonder if Axiom would use this as an opportunity to pick up some players. I bet I wasn't the only one either | ||

One outlier doesn't invalidate his point. The players that play regularly in Korea are going to stay on Korea and not in the west. God dammit you are stupid. User was warned for this post | ||

Guys like Incontrol, Machine, Lzgamer and IdrA have known each other for years. They had a house in Arizona well before SC2 got under way. They churn out a lot of content. Liquid has had a team since vanilla BW. When they went into SC2 their roster was filled with guys they've known for an incredibly long time with the only exception being TLO. HuK would fit the category as well with vt and all that jazz. He had a lot of movement. When Zenio and HerO joined they were very familiar and then there's Taeja. With that said, every team has a different philosophy and criteria when it comes to filling their roster. They aren't the same by any stretch of the imagination. | ||

Just because she happens to be married to TB, does not mean he is running the team. It's her team. Keep up with the current. TB and Husky are sponsors. Also, I agree. MMA is about the money. He was looking for what, around $4k a month salary? | ||

Comes to like 180k a year which is... excessive considering MMA's lack of consistently solid performance. Though if he gets back into an A team without that mental pressure on him and can just play and practise, as well as being flown around by EG for various events, he'd be back to his best in no time. I was thinking, watching IPTL the other day, that EG's closest to a real ace player is Stephano, and they used him first. Imagine if MMA was still there to be deployed against DRG... Man, with MMA on EG that team would be the most stacked foreign team by far. | ||

45 months in a year? Slayers disbanded, not time itself. | ||
