Machine .. Incontrol.. I'm looking at you. Hell, even IdrA and Huk have been irrelevant for the past year or so. | ||

The foreigners who are still on the team bring a lot of views on streams and are good advertisements for the sponsors of EG. Meanwhile a Korean who speaks little to no English would not be the first choice for an American company's web advertisement. Yes, Puma needed to perform and he didn't. Incontrol gets more stream views than JD and machine seems to do the commercials really well. That is why they're around and Puma isn't. Idra, Huk, Thorzain, and Stephano all have better victories in events and are watched by more people. | ||

Puma wasn't performing so eg wanted to pay him less and they couldn't reach an agreement on what "less" was. I doubt Machine/Incontrol get paid what ever Puma wanted, it's all about how much of an investment a player is worth not a binary on the team/off the team. | ||

Not only has he never performed adequately, but he rarely has more than 200 viewers when he streams, and to my memory has only done 1 promotion for their sponsors - not a very active fellow. I'm not judging EG for keeping him, they're one of the few teams that know how to properly run a business so if they think its worth keeping him, that's cool. They cut out Strifecro and Axslav, so they must care to some degree. But people that bitch how EG keeping Huk, Incontrol and Idra are just stupid and/or are just personal haters. Because those 3 (or at least 2 of them) are one of EGs biggest attractors, it literally makes no sense to have them leave the team. This is all in the sc2 division anyway.. I'm sure Alex is going to be talking about League's massive audience and their LoL team now when he's presenting to potential sponsors | ||

I think EG and TL are very lenient with their players, probably because performance is only a small part of the equation. Personalities such as Huk are useful for a team, even if he's not the dominant player he once was, same thing for Incontrol Demuslim etc. Those players have a big fan base and that's what matters the most I suppose. Machine probably doesn't have Puma money. | ||

I was thinking Machine, and Huk would be the first to go honestly. | ||

Puma hasn't been producing at all as well as I'm sure both parties hoped. | ||
