I'll be so pissed if it's EG. I just created a Liquipedia page for The Alliance lol. Though that would explain the crappy logo and team name.

Razer have released the press release on their website as well.

It's probably counter-productive for EG lol, they even created Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook accounts for it - any new likes by starry-eyed fans will go there lol, instead of the EG page.

Well, there´s no team mates he could possibly offend, so I guess this is a good thing for everyone involved.

I'm still waiting for EG to announce Huk2.0 and EG Entus. Come on boys don't let me down!

EG entus will come after pro league. It will allow room for LG IM in PL as well.

Yea this is most probably EG management running the team but doesn't mean that it can't be a new team.

Toyota and Lexus for example.

With new team, they can attract more and different sponsors. If in the future 2 competing company at the same field ( say Pizza Hut and Papa John) want to sponsor an e-sports team and come to Alex Garfield? No biggie. One sponsors EG, the other sponsors Alliance.

It might be better for the sponsor anyway since EG management is so much better than other companies at exposure and marketing Better than sponsoring some team with lousy marketing who will not gain the sponsors any ROI.

I think there's gonna be a follow up announcement along the lines of "EG acquires The alliance!"

NaNiWa, sickest player in both EU and NA atm, so good its embarassing how good he is. The team alliance or EG or whatever it is, they sure did a much better job bringing this super player along instead of noob stephano that whines about quiting every week, or huk that loses every first match in every major tournament. Naniwa is as big as Jae dong. And most fun to watch in streams or tournaments. Alliance or EG...you who brought this superman to your team, big contratz to you!!

Finally the tournaments will be filled up with 1 sick slot again, Naniwa. I mean there is so much progamers that isnt fun to follow, this guy for sure is, Naniwa, the evil looner genius, just like me

As naniwa said on twitter "thanks to @AllianceGG for this awesome opportunity ! already been in the team for 3 months behind the scenes. hope it will be alot longer ," so hes obviously not part of EG. He would have been entered in proleague roster if there was an affiliation.

Not necessarily. He wouldn't be able to play till the next round anyway.

Happy Naniwa has a new team, this news is heavily overshadowed by all the CJ face going on though which brings far more glee and amusement to me. I kinda want a little flag with -_- on it now.

I am a really terrible fangirl, I like too many teams and players to be loyal to just one.

conspiracy theory: The Alliance is EG's EU shell company and brand. They wanted to start something that seems like it's "made in EU".

Razer must sell a lot of keyboards and mices to sponsor so many teams at once. -_-

I always wonder how much they pay their players/teams for promoting their brand or do they just provide them with equipment?

Pretty cool. I started to wonder if Naniwa his new contract was blown off. This however, is really awesome for Naniwa.

We now have two new teams in a very short time. I wonder if this has anything to do with WCS, and if yes, good job Blizzard.
Always look on the bright side of life
