No.. just no

I find it a bit weird how adamantly you oppose the idea. Care to explain a bit?


Isn't Goswser already on Millenium anyway? I don't think he's even been there a year yet. Feels like he just left complexity haha.

Dimaga would be a cool choice. For some reason I feel like the next player will be a foreigner over a korean player but that's just a hunch considering two foreigners left. They will definitely have money to go after almost anyone they want with both Stephano and Idra money freeing up though, those were no doubt two of the top few foreigner contracts in sc2 esports.

JD is a special case...I'd like to see a player like Bisu get thrown from team to team without the comfort of 12340158151 other good players + SKT team house and still be able to resist the urge to take up a lucrative offer.

I actually like EG and the players on it, but lets be honest apart from puma s run almost 2 years ago, EG koreans always seem to go downhill after joining... i hope they use the money to invest into new infrastructures (the ones that can get you wins in proleague) rather than invest into another player...
I mean their line up is sick, and maybe a proper team house korean style would be a etter choice.

Really excited to see if they can lure a big name from Kespa and will be interesting if we'll see Kespa players going to WCS AM or WCS EU in the future.

I'd love EG to pick up a top 5 player at the moment. it would be very very cool.

How about them growing up their own players for once instead of buying currently top players.
They got coach Park so he should be able to spot new talent.

why couldn't they do both? if they got a really good player, their is a very good chance the team atmosphere would change for the better, and if players like JYP, Alive, or Oz had a really good player to train with, i'm sure that they would improve fast too.

why sad about it? do you see flash or bisu etc streaming? only because of EG, we can watch JD stream, not to mention he is doing pretty well in PL

How likely that EG gets someone in Prime? MKP or Creator currently are probably worth more through their fanbase than their current results.

Of course its always a possibility, but i was under the impression that they were probably going to go to kespa teams. would be interesting if it happened though!

Wax what about a a liquid post? They've arguably freed up a good deal of cash and team spots. Not trying to convert this to a liquid thread but would love to see a similar thread about them.

They almost exclusively try to pick up underrated players and try and grow them up. so it would probably be wrong to say they are picking up parting or life, even if they had the cash to do so.

I'd say your analysis is right but conclusions are wrong Waxangel.

They have a businesmodel. If a foreigner goes away chances its highly likely a foreigner will replace him, or they'd have to reevaluate there whole businessmodel which seems unlikely because it gave them big sponsorships in the past!

When stephano, idra leave, your best best is that they will want a foreign lineup that consists of 2 terrans, 2 zergs and 2 toss that are all highrollers in the current WCS premier. Basicly any foreigners (young and not terran) that are still in WCS championship premiere will do!

Huk --> The question is does he have a big fanbase (its important sponsorshipwise i.e. ROI).

Jeadong --> it depends if EGTL continiues with proleague doubleteam. If so, chances are they will sign a good player who is over the top but loved in US and EU. The topplayer doesnt have to win them every game, just win them the hearts of as many sc2 fans possible. I believe MKP would be your best bet.

Ofcourse i dont know who is a free agent, but the above seems likely to me.
