Anyone else think there is gonna be an announcement soon about how EG has purchased The Alliance?

And then we're going to have an invasion storyline!

Alliance ‏@theAllianceGG 36s
We're just getting warmed up. More players, more teams, more Europe.


Well, looking forward to this.


Yeah, I'm really interested in what kind of players they'll pick up. "More Europe" might imply they'll keep their Swedish/EU player angle for sc2 as well. How long is Thorzain's contract with EG?


I don't think Thorzain would leave anywhere. I think he feels pretty home in EG and overall the BEST option he could have. But as stated earlier, there are players like ToD, Dimaga to name a few. Of course, if they are willing to get someone outside of Sweden.

Yeah I know it's very unlikely with Thorzain, it's just me loving the idea to see the best two swedes on a team, especially with their history. I can already imagine the team interviews in my head.

Dimaga would be nice though, give him some motivation to activate his beast mode again.

My point exactly. EG, more than any other NA team I can think of, is out to make money. If they felt like adding these players would be a smart business move, they would do it. Frankly I don't think they care about who or what their current players don't like. At then end of the day it isn't the players who make the decisions about who joins/what sponsers they sign with.

All NA teams are out to make money and become sustainable businesses. EG is just the best at it.

I'm more interested on whether or not this "team" is affiliated with EG

Best of luck to Naniwa!

Since when did Liquid (the actual team) hate on dota2 and Razer? This is news to me considering Razer was the first sponsor for TSL back in BW and FakeSteve used to work with Razer so I don't get your comment.

Can someone briefly explain the relationship to EG?
Is it like Baseball where Alliance will act as an EG farm team, or is it like FXO with multiple divisions in different areas?

It's about viral marketing where EG doesn't explicitly say alliance is theirs, but leave obvious clues for people to find, so people spend all day talking about whether alliance is EG or not. It's a smashing success if I do say so myself.

EG merges with TL under the banner Alliance. First the team is announced with Naniwa joining it, then they will fill up with players from EG and TL.

Yeah. Idra used to hate HuK, EG used to hate razer. Fact is, they do/say and put up with whatever keeps the money flowing. Not saying that's a bad thing, as it makes sense. Just saying that EG wouldn't let something like Idra hating yet another person in the pro scene get in the way of a good idea.

Exactly, and conversely, the players can complain as much as they want/threaten to leave. But they would have to be complete idiots to willingly leave that team in their position. Huk presumably is still making a ton of money over their as well as Idra.

Heh, that is actually a pretty funny idea. I have the impression of the TL proteam being broke, but I'm probably way off base.

Yeah, I don't think Liquid' has actually hated on DotA2 and Razer, nkr is talking about specific community members, which is hardly a fair comparison to EG players shitting on Razer publicly.

Like you said, Razer sponsored the first TeamliquidSL and has been their first and only computer peripheral sponsor.
