PartinG and Life had beef 'cause Startale felt betrayed by PartinG's move to another Korean organization, Kespa.
I wanna see the heat Life gets if he ever decides to move to a foreigner team known for poaching, throwing huge amounts of money to players, and forcing them to be community idols over competitors. It's something Life would need to think about.

They'll buy one of the Woongjin Stars players. EG.sOs, Flying, or Soulkey. Wasn't Woongjin having some sponsorship issues before the season started? It could be difficult to keep too many high level players on one team. I could even see EG buying out a contract if possible. Would be hard for Woongjin to pass up the money.


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=372170
This was it I believe

Please stay the heck away from Woongjin! I want to see a Woongwin (yeah, I know, shucks!) at the end of the proleague season! If they do, maybe they'll get more sponsorship deals and be able to keep their players.

Machine doesn't appear to be on this player list for EG:

but I suppose that is due to him not having played in any tournaments (at all it seems!).

Bullshit. Axiom proved you wrong. If teams wanted to use them as marketing tools they could do that but most Koreans get paid to win. EG uses their foreigners for marketing and their Koreans for winning both things give the team exposure. They could put JYP in a commercial and do some funny skit about not understanding English but thats not what they want to do..

Whats so racist about it? The point of the Kingston commercials is not to highlight the product its to get as many hits as possible and we all saw how popular the clips of Incontrol trolling Koreans were. Also Korean players stream way less than foreigners (only ForGG streams constantly) because they have different contracts and EG didnt send Demuslim to Dreamhack which probably means that he gets paid to stream. Players get different contracts depeding on what the team wants from them. (source Kespa players interview, Idras real talk)

If i worked for EG....I would try to get at least one of these players...
Life , Leenock , MarineKing, Bomber, Squirtle....they are cheap and amazing players.... and they have a pretty good market value.....If they wanna expand and get a EU player (alliance?) they should go for Dimaga.....

But if you wanna go big get Jaedong (for another year) and Grubby...

It's racist because you are generalizing koreans and non koreans. Groups of people don't fit into nice little boxes. Sure you can say foreign players interact with their fans more, but saying Koreans are for x and non koreans are for y is fucked up.

EG Picked up Naniwa and no Tighthunter. Why should they pick up other players outside for Pro League. TL should pick up Flash! Its EG-TL and TL should do something too for the Pro League

No Tighthunter made me chuckle ^^

It's TideHunter, a hero in Dota. They just heavily disliked the hero and named the team after that.


I wrote it that way because i like the word joke with the team. I did not write it wrong because I didn't know it better. And I play dota since RoC. But thx that you explain me a dota hero and the history of the team...you just didn't get the joke right? Or you got it and some strange power in you made write this useless explanation?

Still my statement stays. EG invested more than enough into Pro League. And they created a Swedish Team. Now Team Liquid should show some investment in my opinion. Its not just EG´s task to invest into pro League and TL just kind of leeching. Its just from my point of view: if they loose EG gets all the blame and if they win they have to share this with TL

He isn't saying that at all. He is saying that the majority of Korean players do not speak English very well and that makes it difficult to communicate with the non-korean audience. This should not be a huge shocker to people.

Guess what else is true: Incontrol, Grubby and Naniwa have limited marketability to the Korean audience too. Why? Because they do not speak Korean very well and have a hard time communicating with the Korean audience.

This isn't rocket science or some sort of racist argument. In marketing, they try to use people who speak the same language as the audience they are marketing too.
