Instead of using that money to acquire another star player, they might wanna use that money to keep their existing players from stagnating, ie EG curse that has basically ruinated every player they've acquired.

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

You know the guy who owns invictus gaming ( ig ) in china is the son of a multi millionaire ?

he bought the dota2 team for 6 milion dolars

" The acquisition of Chinese eSport organization had according to Chinese media sites a price of $6.2 million USD. For the son of one of China's richest men, it was reported to only be the first of many maneuvers to come for the Chinese scene. "
quote from gosugamers

. there are rumors that say after iG won second international , that guy gave them another milion $ to players for the achievement

on topic :

EG definently needs new players . but i think more then EG , starcraft in general needs them . since we see same players on and on .

I think EG should buy some Prime players later this year.

It is the mass streaming that kills 'm. To much commercials and exposure, less real training.

I cannot imagine Marineking's name without the P (or Prime) as part of it. MKP just sounds.. correct, lol. If he joined another team, lets just say EG, I can envision lots of slipups from everybody saying EG MKP, lol

The problem is EG doesnt invest in talent. It buys the best, market/brand him/her.. they slowly become mediocre and dont win as much.... somewhere, there model isnt good for perfomance... but marketingwise MK would be good choice and he does have the talent to win hes shown that.

EG will have a very hard time getting any ace from a Kespa team.
Youre way over your heads if you think Innovation or Flash will join EG
Flash even specifically said he didnt want to join a foreign team.
I see is more likely they pick up players from Prime to bolster their terran line and a mid-tier player or two from Kespa

You can say that about very close to 100% of players. Also, getting 4th at Ironsquid was less than 6 months ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dimaga signed. As for in august who I think they need for pro league to actually have a chance I was talking about this on reddit yesterday. If I were doing the signings and had free reign my shortlist to sign is Jjakji, Jim, Life, Leenock, Parting, sOs, Flash, Innovation and Symbol. If I was being honest 2 of those you could pick up for next to nothing but might not go to EG and that is Jjakji and Jim both of which I think are stars that deserve a great team. The rest are players I can't see coming out of their teams ever because they are just too important.

EG's recent signings were disappointing with Revival, Oz and Alive even though some actually helped a little. So I definitely think they need a bit of an overhaul and clear out. Or maybe just a resurrection of the poorer players under coach park in the off season.

Well... if i would pick based on there businessmodel and agilugac top100 ranking it would be :

1 Zerg Foreign instead of idra --> Sen, Snute, Scarlet
1 Protos/Zerg Foreign instead of Stephano --> Welmu, Nerchio, TLO
1 Zerg Korean instead of JD --> Choose your pick

There gonna buy TLO and snute from teamliquid?!?!? :shocker:

I think theognis would be a pretty solid pickup for a relatively small investment. He's beginning to remind me of suppy (underrated NA player with a good attitude and love for the game) before he was picked up by EG, especially with the amazing match he just played against jaedong.
