I would love to see EG pick up a Chinese player like XiGua. They're pretty popular within China but have little to no international exposure, it would boost the EG brand a huge amount, and raise international awareness.

I really like that idea. They probably would be relatively cheap, would provide good value as they are very good, and it would help a scene that really could use some help. Great idea!

Wax, you think any kespa player (read: flash) still makes over 200M KRW/yr? Even in 2010 that was true for just a handful of players.

Goswser would be a good pick, as well as a star-name Korean and a real young up-and-coming foreigner.

All sports need fresh young players to carry the torch as the old guard retires.

To be honest, Macsed would probably be a better fit for EG than Xigua. Macsed has a lot more cheeky charm and he streams a fair bit, whilst Xigua is more serious. Macsed would probably be the kind of personality that would suit EG.

you have to also bear in mind that China (im no expert) has some interesting laws/other barriers to entry, might be difficult for EG to actually obtain a player there.

Also, gotta think about whether their sponsors actually want exposure in china, or if theyd prefer the money being spent somewhere else.

don't think for a second that the idea of an ace level player leaving wouldn't make them come up with enough red tape to package an elephant.


That's some really good writing there, works on so many levels! Great analysis through and through.

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

don't confuse marketability with personality


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.

I dont want flash or parting or any good korean to join EG, because I feel like the Kespa system is what will make true champions. The kespa teams seem, to me anyways, way more serious about becoming the absolute best. Compared to some of the kespa teams, EG looks like a bunch of casuals, largely due to the fact that the practice regiment of kespa teams is just way better. I am not saying players like flash or parting couldnt become great players in EG, I AM saying that players like flash or parting will never be as great as if they couldve become had they stayed in a kespa team.

The thing with Lucifron tho is that it seems like you'd have to get the moreno duran package of Lucifron, VortiX, and Ryo together, it would be weird if the brothers split up for money -_-;

They've turned down a lot of good offers from top teams coz of this, but hey, the whole Spanish Armada is pretty damn awesome.
