Well looking at their roster for Proleague which looks like this atm:
EG: Jaedong, Revival, JYP, Oz, aLive
TL: HerO, Taeja, Zenio, (Snute)
It makes me think that they'll probably let go of Revival + maybe JYP. They could pick up eSF-players which much more following and I was suprised they didn't when they picked up Oz and aLive. I'm thinking of players like DRG, MKP and Leenock. It would be intresting to see if Coach Park could give DRG and MKP for an example the boost they need to once again be at the very top of their race.
An EG-TL lineup with 7 players in this case could look like: HerO, Taeja, Marineking, Dongraegu, Jaedong, Oz, aLive.
Thinking back one year or something this would sound crazy and maybe it still does but I can always dream.
One other interesting thought I had was what if they bought Karont3 then they could add players from that team to either EG or Alliance. viPro would go to Allliance meanwhile the Duran brothers could go to either team. Then there's also the possibility of Dimaga joining either team.

MC re-upped with SK for all of 2013
I dunno about Feast, would have to look into the timing!
EG HAS bought out players with contract timing remaining in the past when they really wanted tho, maybe if Feast wins WCS EU or something

Will Thorzain actually continue his carreer? In an interview before Dreamhack he mentioned his play being rusty due to learning for the SATs. His overall performance has also decreased a bit.
Its mostly becouse of the curse.

By the way, in all seriousness, Dimaga is probably one of the few players in the world who might survive "the curse" of those "dirty money" and keep playing his best no matter what, even if he's on EG/Alliance. He's a beast. Always has been.

EG's not really a team that scouts talent, as much as, just hiring the most accomplishing player. So maybe Innovation/Life/Parting, or Leenock if they want someone who can attend and win all foreign events.
It's interesting to see if they're gonna focus on their korean team house, or the team house in US, since now there's WCS, getting sick players like Polt and Leenock could vastly improve foreigner staff members also.

Even if EG should lose Thorzain and HuK aswell, i don't necessarily think that would be a bad thing. IdrA, Stephano, Thorzain and HuK are all very distinctive players, if not in terms of results then atleast personality, just as EG overall is a team with a lot of personality. On the flip side it is a team that is almost notorius for their lack of results, and everytime a new player joins their team the one thing that comes to mind is the "EG-curse".
With HotS and WCS still being relatively new, and most likely the start of the second era of SC2 i think it would be easier for EG to get rid of their former reputation of being the "frat house", and actually being recognized as a winning team, if their roster got an overhaul.

I think polt can have the right balance between skill and personality
|
Is there really money to be made with a roster of Koreans?
|
what about hellokitty? He is solid enough and wouldn't cost them too much and they had another US american on the team. Otherwise they could hire whitera... that would be sick... haha . whitera has a single sponsor, but he is actually teamless..

I find it ridiculous that only PartinG and Flash are named for KeSPA.
What about RorO, Hydra, ZerO, sOs, INnoVation, Soulkey, free, Flying, Argo, Trap, Cure, Rain, FanTaSy, Zest, Stats...
while I wouldn't say ridiculous, I'd use bias lol seeing as Innovation would be someone I would've mentioned over PartinG 
Please no life, Innovation, Flash, heck, no Korean players to EG, only foreign players. In the KeSPA environment, they train, improve and such but I just don't see it at all in the EG training environment. I expected Jaedong to be a beast by now yet I've seen him play good games and other rather really horrible ones. Obviously everyone has his good and bad days and we can't blame EG for how he plays but their previous background with other gamers doesn't bode well for them imo

If they pick up players with actual fucking personality like Parting there could be.

also you can make money out of NAMES; trap argo hydra zero zest stats ... have zero marketing value from that point on (only korean knowers know them)

How is a player like Parting not marketable?
???
Also, the two things are very much inter connected, I'm a bit confused by your comment.

well of course. I saw the major hype around Jaedong joining EG but I doubt KeSPA teams will just hand over their stars though. I think Jaedong's situation is a bit different considering what team he was on.
