If anything they have a giant lack in members. For every kespa a teamer there are like 5 b teamers that have to do whatever said a teamer tells them to, where as eg has a bunch of talented players that lack the right practice. | ||

Hope they turn both of them in great personalities ^^ I still find it strange that people care so much about the player's personality outside of the game lol. | ||

They can both easily take games off even the best opponent in the bo1. Couldn't have said it better myself... Egtl fighting! | ||

I fully expect EG's turnover really does run into multiple millions. They've been around for 14 years now. According to their website they maintain teams for Street Fighter IV, Starcraft II, Counter Strike, League of Legends, DOTA2 and WoW. In SC2 alone they have a Korean training facility and IIRC they've got a US teamhouse. They pay their players salaries. They're funding two coaches one of whom is Coach Park who has a family and so the money must be good enough for that. Presumably Alex and the other management people also do this as their main job and so will be drawing salaries themselves. All in all you're looking at 13 players and 7 staff members for SC2. Twenty people, all presumably drawing salaries from EG. Plus the support infrastructure for running a team such as covering expenses like flights. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the SC2 division alone broke the million in turnover mark. On topic: Big news. I always liked Oz. :D | ||

Exactly, players do not get as good as Flash by grinding the ladder. There is some really focused practice that goes on in all the Kespa houses. The ladder is only one tool for them to use. Having a group of solid practice partners is key to making sure your players are at the top of their game. It also keeps your builds in house, which is critical. The NA and EU scene are way behind on this part of the game, but I expect they will try to catch up and get better systems for practice. | ||

We care in real sports if our NFL players are doing drugs and stuff, we want them off the team. I think personality is great for SC II, the more insight and emotion we see from them is actually a good thing for viewers and players. | ||

However, congrats to both Alive and Oz You know I was making a lot of noise when HaydeR got picked up by TL. Apparently I wasn't the only one. Same deal when they chose Zenio as one of their first Korean's from oGs. I thought they were both terrible pick-ups and what do you know. I truly hope Zenio proves me wrong one day. With that said, aLive and Oz aren't supposed to be saviors. Don't expect them to start winning everything, but they will provide the team with a good backbone to compete. KeSPA teams other than Team 8 have big rosters. This move makes EG more dynamic and who hasn't heard of aLive or Oz? | ||

Players with personality are fun and make the game more enjoyable when they win. No one is going to say that MC ruins a game with his over the top personality. Even Flash has well cultivated personality as this unrelenting practice machine and guy who is never happy with his performance. And lets never forget Keen’s amazing celebration from GSL. It is the gift that keeps on giving. | ||

It is the gift that keeps on giving. on the other hand it's true. I mean what do you really know from your favorite football players? (f.e.) There is nothing more than scandals and standard phrases in interviews. | ||
