What if Huk retires?
-He does not get any results, his new contract will be terrible, he did esport to get money for school, because it was the better alternative to the military.
I highly doubt EG will pick up another korean. Faceless Puma, no good as soon as he stopped getting results? Of course there is Jaedong, who is the exception. Other exceptional Koreans, with a huge foreigner following are Flash and Bisu, neither plan to leave their team I feel.
Beeing NA based I think it is more likely that Dimaga is going to be picked up by alliance, or liquid? Dat Ukrainian Smile... On the other hand he is a total badass, without all the negativity a Greg brought.
Honestly, Here is my Idea: Anyone saw the ret to korea or nony to korea series, that Artosis did? What if, what if, we had Artosis to korea? Of course he already lives there, but he says himself, he still wants to be the best player, he plans on taking on Code A qualifiers again. Of course he has a family and needs a salary, but that is nothing EG could not provide, + the content would be invalueable, he is already a great personality, and this is a dream that could be sold. Maybe they sign him for 1 year, and have a lot of content focusing on him trying to break through like Old Boy Nal'Ra. He could take a one year break from casting, and even if he fails miserably at contests and does not qualify, the new experiences will make him even more valuable as a caster.
Well, you heard it here first: EG.Artosis

Well, you heard it here first: EG.Artosis This is hilarious.
Equating Artosis' and Nal_ra's situations are ridiculous, as Nal_Ra was actually good at the game he tried to come back in.

I could see them go all out for Scarlett. She's marketable, she could be the foreigner face of the team with Demuslim, and she might even stick around in Korean for proleague as well.

Scarlett. She's marketable
She's marketable
marketable
Really? Have you seen a single interview with her?
It's not hard to imagine that many of the top-tier foreigners actually have received offers from EG but declined, probably due to not wanting to market themselves as aggressively as EG wants them to. LucifroN/VortiX is probably the best examples of this.

Is this the Scarlett who is going to be taking a break for health reasons?

Stephano was bad enough...
EG- The Grave where pros go to die (comfortably).
On a more serious tone I am truly curious about which players EG or TL are going to sign in the next few months.
psst Someone sign moonglade! (a team that's actually willing to give him a salary)

Is this true? If so, then respect to both of them.

Im not that much into Kespa Teams, but i heard that STX has some serious financial problems? Maybe one / some of them would be an option.

Eh, I don't think that oral skills are that important in this case. Just have a cool picture with "Best Female in the World", "North American" and such and they're good to sell some merch.

Judging from the amount of PR she has done for Acer, I'd say that she wouldn't be comfortable to do it for EG either.

MKP would be a decent signing. Back when Morrow was a free agent I was waiting for them to pick him up, but he seems to have lost quite a bit of value since then. Still I think he's very talented, when he puts in the hours.

I know EG had talks with Illusion when he was in Quantic, but he also refused coz he wanted to stay on with them...funnily enough they disbanded a couple of months later. Poor Illusion

IIRC, both brothers were approached by EG, but they were looking for a team that could offer flexibility with their studies and EG didn't satisfy their needs in that regard.

EG allready has 2 descent terrans. They need descent foreign zerg and protos that act on WCS premier level.

I think it's time for another TSL so we get some new talent into the spotlight

That Norwegian guy? Yeah he's not too shabby, made it to Ro64 twice in the WCS EU qualifiers.

EG could buy out the Chinese scene for those kind of sums. Just do it.
