i just think EG made a mistake with idra, the whole reason we actually know about them is the way they market themselves with the characters they sign. their players are good, this is ok but they just dont stand up on the world scene as frequently as the korean teams do. i mean i follow and watch starcraft, i follow certain players but i dont really follow any of the teams but EG i can relate to and have bought some of their sponsored products .. . .now they just dont have anyone (ok maybe demuslim incontrol and machine are great streamers with their analytical style streams) but they just dont have that talk appeal any more (with idra and stephano) leaving/let go.
If EG seriously want to get a #1 winning team then this would be ok, but half the reason this is probably the most successful team is totally through the charatcers they pick up. Lets face it, noone they have picked up is bad, they are all GM for gods sake, by definition they have to be good dont they? they are in the top 200 of their region?? anyway. Just sayin, with massive fan favourites like huk/idra/step[hano going . .what really have they to talk about in terms of results? My point is. Get the Grack Back!
I'm a big fan of IdrA but I also think that it was probably the right thing to do given the situation. Besides, even if you like IdrA and want to follow him, he said he's done playing competitive SC2 so even current events notwithstanding, you won't see him back on EG.

If this happen's I'm never playing Starcraft 2 again.
Really.
:D I do doubt it though, but the managed to get Jaedong, so who knows?!

I think someone like flash could be too expensive.
|
I feel like of all the players available, flash would make relatively little sense. EG already has the "established BW champ" covered by JD. I think if they pick up anybody its going to be some up and coming NA talent since they seem to be aiming to build their team a bit (see Xenocider).

I feel like they will absorb a "failing" (I mean not doing too well) team and have a monster roster for next season of Proleague. Maybe Prime or NSH?

That would be an absurdly sick move but I can totally see that happen. But rather Prime than NSH whose players don't seem neither marketable (unlike MKP and at a lower level Creator) nor competitive anymore unfortunately.

I think this is also unlikely. EG already has a relatively established korean roster. They don't really need to add a large number of (mostly unmarketable) players to their roster, which is what they would have to do to absorb even a smaller team like NSH or Prime. I expect them to either poach a name from that team with decent results (Maru, jjakji, etc) or try to get some up and coming NA talent.

EG is a business, and business usually do incremental, small additions. Anyone expecting more than a couple more average players and one big name(not Flash big), is probably expecting too much.
|
Hopefully some foreigners. Really don't need more Koreans on EG.

why would people want any korean to join EG, pretty much anyone who joins EG starts having awful performance

The EG Koreans are doing better than ever because of their focused practice environment, no idea what you're talking about. In the past few weeks Revival took 2nd in WCS AM and Jaedong took 2nd in Dreamhack. They're also on a 4 match winning streak in Proleague.

JD had the potential to be the best zerg in HOTS, yet he's not... I would say he's having awful performance for being the legend that is him.

That's not EG's fault, JD was having the same " slump " relative to his peak on Team 8 and on Oz.

Is there some new information out about this team? This thread is a month old, and since then they have picked up xenocider. Why is this being mildly necroed?

Why do people say The Alliance is a EG division? was it everconfirmed? as far as i know, it was just a myth because razer was the main sponsor, and also razer sponsors EG, but nothing more. Was it comfirmed? Because if not, people should stop making assumptions, but if it was confirmed...can somebody show me where?

It's never been confirmed by any EG or Alliance staff(the same people) if that's what you're asking, but yes they're both operated by the EG management. It's the worst kept not-really-a-secret secret in esports. If you go digging you'll find enough info to make it obvious.

They are also sponsored by Monster and Razer. The only 2 teams in the scene to be sponsored by Monster. Both of their sites are named .gg 2 of very few sites to do that, and also their website layout is pretty much exactly the same. Both sites are run by the same host.
