Correction: Daily ESPORTS mistakenly reported earlier that Jaedong would return to Team Eight immediately should they find a sponsor. This was a misunderstanding; Jaedong's 1 year period with EG is binding. | ||

Sad thing is, EG is essentially doing standard practice for every sports team out there: making sponsors known, promoting their players, providing metrics for viewership/attention, etc. It's extremely unfortunate when you get called the "New York Yankees of E-Sports" for what would be the norm in any other established business market. | ||

Why is being the Yankees a bad thing? They have the most fans, the most money, the most revenue, the best team in the history of the game, and they are always good. Look at it from that way. | ||

I see they're never going to drop the NYY thing even though it couldn't be further from the truth. Being compared to them nowadays is a joke. Heck, it's funny because thestar just wrote an article about their downfall today in the sports section, which is pretty ironic regarding my post the other day: http://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/article/1298341--yankees-brand-could-be-losing-its-appeal-griffin Whereas the EG brand is actually going up. The Yankees are old now and they are no longer the dynasty team everyone talks about. Plus there are ten teams that have payrolls well over $100 million now and have better odds of winning the World Series compared to the NNY. | ||

I don't think it's a sad thing. EG is doing what any good team should be doing. They know how to run a team | ||

Sad that people insult EG for being where everyone else should be. It's like people want pro gaming teams to be broke, constantly losing players and on the verge of collapsing. | ||
