Oh yes, probably. ;D The fanbase of IN\ncontrol is alot bigger then the fanbase of Dragon. And Incontrol does alot more for EG then only playing/streaming. | ||

Sea wasn't a cheater that lied about never playing in tournaments again. Nor is he a lame bmer that smurfs on low league accounts on ladder. If Sea had the same history as Dragon he wouldn't be on TL. | ||

I dont know how you view fanbases but when Incontrol streams he usually gets what, 2400ish? thats about what Dragon gets. But Incontrol is also outsourced to cast tournaments which in theory ups his -- and EGs -- exposure. Dragon is a non-racist, non-homophobic Korean Destiny, tooling around on ladder. When he runs into a legit player he gets manhandled, I think Idra crushed him 4-0 or 5-0 the other day on Hots beta. | ||

Jesus, most Koreans would be absolutely appalled considering how infamous he was over there. | ||

I don't understand the problem with Dragon among certain fans, aside from the "cheating" scandal. In Korea, it seems quite common for top players to brand others as "hackers" or whatever you want to call it. I think the kid has talent. I would give him a shot, but who am I  | ||

I would give him a shot, but who am I I dont have a problem with him, I like watching his stream sometimes but it gets too repetitive to watch him crush people 2-3 categories below him. But who knows, maybe when HOTS goes live he will be really awesome for a year, the way the white guys were back in 2010/mid 11 before the Koreans got serious about the game. | ||

I watch him all the time, he rarely trolls the lower leagues. I can see the argument that it's BM to do that, but on the other hand it is very entertaining. GL Dragon <3 | ||

KleeneX represents Millenium on the french scene. You wouldn't know about that - obviously - but he had decent results on a national level which meets the criteria set for him by his manager. Not everybody can be Stephano, and though I agree that we should weed out mediocre players to make room for better, more enthusiast players, I'm not sure it is useful to get rid of a player loved by your community (Millenium's) who plays for free on a national scene and helps for casting when needed (he is paid to cast or stream though) As for Dragon, I'm sad to see him leave but one has to question the way he handles his career. Though Millenium hadn't foreseen the huge visa issues they now run into with ForGG (and before him Dragon) which severely hinder both of their impact on the international scene, Dragon hasn't trained for a WoL tournament for 2 months, that's not really a serious attitude to have. Millenium's intent when recruiting Dragon was to have him play on the EU scene as a legit player, not as an entertainer. And he failed to uphold the status he wished to achieve. | ||
