Releasing Idra is probably not the right decision for EG in terms of money, so I think their statement makes sense. He still received an offer a couple of years ago by TL, but decided to join EG. Your point? Maybe the situation isn't the exact same as a couple of years ago? | ||

Like I said in the other thread, EG is branding themselves as 'the badass' team. There's nothing 'badass' about quitting a broadcast tournament game with a max army and 2000/2000 banked. They gave IdrA a million chances to change his attitude. Time to move on. | ||

The community puts way too much focus on the "entertainment"-side of a player and as soon as someone does something slightly questionable he gets hated so badly for it. For example the ddos incident with stephano shows how high the hating can peak (its not ordinary, but still very alarming to me). Also, the players you meet in ladder make IdrA look like the politest man in the world. The last "gg" I received was combined with a "fu**er". Plus, i actually dont feel like a part of a community. We play the same game, but I dont feel a "together" at all. Could be a personal thing though. The last point I want to mention is viewers on streams, being the community. The chats of a large number of streams reflects a massive immaturity, being filled with trolls and offending people, not representing that much of a support to esports. So I think IdrA criticizing the community is a good move to me, cause he's one of the few ones that mentions that without fearing to lose money cause a part of that "community" could stop "supporting" esports by bringing money to the companies. I hope he gets a new team that at least in some way still believes in the spirit of esports, not the spirit of money. Cause thats the impression I got from EG the last months and finally with this act. So let me finish this post with a final example of how grown up the community is. ( I hope the picture is fine, please delete if someone has a problem with it ) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/EcYSUrk.jpg) Leauge of Legends is your example of a "grown" community? Wow, just wow. | ||

League of Legends community is a subreddit which is about 50x times more toxic then TL then include the players inside the game. On-topic: I actually really believed this thread was a troll even after reading the OP. Man was I shocked Every post i've seen so far that hates EG for this has been like 1-10 post count people, what the hell is going on | ||

He goes against all principles that TL stand for.
