why so aggressive?

Because every thread that vaguely involves EGTL, be it the LR ones or any time they play in an individual league has morons coming out with smug 'HAHAHA EGTL SO BAD' fucking nonsense every other post.

It's obnoxious in the extreme for those of us who just want to stay on topic, or not throw EGTL under a bus. May as well get pissed off about it, I stopped browsing the SC section here for a good few months because there was no point.

it's not quite as bad as WCSKR lower bracket when esf antifans were out in full force, but it is still very obnoxious all the same. kind of depressing watching EG-TL for sc2 fans, since most sc2 fans have more invested in EG-TL than in PL teams. that may change over time, but EG-TL (and especially foreigners) doing poorly in PL is not good for viewership and general interest in that arena.

I was expecting that actually. Well not that he would be the only one. I still had a bit higher expectation from Stephano I think his skill lvl should be around 60%+ but we will see

The foreigner players has actually not disappointed. Huk and Thorzain we knew they would struggle. You could say has Stephano disappointed abit? But frankly I don't think so maybe his win ratio should be a bit higher. No its the korean line-up that's been absolutely horrible and is the main reason why EG-TL has done so poorly
Stephano & Jaedong <-- The Pain Train. Polt and Innovation to EG plz

I'm invested because:

1. I think the partnership model, and basing fulltime in Korea is the only way foreigners will ever compete, so it's good to see somebody try it.
2. A lot of my favourite players are on the team.
3. I never got to watch BW PL to see what all you alltimers were so nostalgic for.
4. New and cool maps.

In the period where I hated my very soul most tournaments due to the stagnation of the game, the EGTL effort maintained my interest in SC2 broadcasts, and I couldn't even talk about it with fellow LRers due to the horrible threads.

And the article said they would have pretty much every spot in Code S within 3-4 months.

People were even blaming TaeJa that he was sabotaging Proleague because they were not seeing a Code S semifinalist performance.

those people should get a very severe wrist injury -_-

Sounds like something from DCInside so it's probably a joke. They like to make up mock excuses for the hyped players (especially funny when Bisu fails to get past a qualifier as usual).

it may sound weird....but there is not enough quality to be succesful in korea right now....especially since people like puma dropped heavily skillwise....potential yes, actual quality no (except ppl like hero). and the worst thing about it is the ticking clock. cuz in a year kespa player/teams will just dominate everything and then there will be no chance at all for eg-tl to win something down there

The thing is that calling out EG-TL at the very beggining was like a blind prediction. The roster looked very good on paper and as the article says, could perfectly be a top 4 team. That things went the wrong way, with TaeJa's injury and some others underperforming (I was really expecting more from HerO), couldn't be really predicted and is what puts the team in the spot they are at the moment.

So majority on TL was wrong, isn't that the common thing to happen in every corner of our society? Just give credit to minority when they are right, even if that's just a lucky guess. Calling them morons at this point is pretty low.

Many people means biased foreigners and propaganda news articles on TL.net? I'm sorry, did anybody actually think this team was going to go above .500 in PL?

I thought they'd do ok in the first few rounds and then fade off in the second half. I knew they would struggle against teams with strong protoss though since basically everyone on their team's worst MU is vP it seems except Stephano

I don't see how they roster looks very good on paper. Taeja and Hero are the only ones good on paper. Stephano is just average when it comes to Proleague/GSL/OSL format. and the rest is average.

Hopefully TL-EG can turn the boat around again, so the speculation about foreign teams can be brought to shame.
