I think the big indicator is the .gg domain, operated on the same servers that run all of EG's stuff.

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.
True he is a legend in BW but he was in a slump in BW when the mixed proleague started.. he is now clearly playing the best starcraft2 of his career! Had strong performances in foreign events and he clearly has top pro-league ZvT, one of the best ZvZ in the world and a vulgar korean pro ZvP..
I don't know what the hell you are talking about, Jaedong is improving imo
Needs to make his own ZvP style and figure out the match up
I would aim at Life IMMEDIATELY and Creator if he is cheap (might not have done good recently but has an amazing potential). Life is just too good not to compete in Proleague and would make an amazing couple with JD.
My guesses. I don't think they'll go for another big-name Korean acquisition.
EG.mOOnGLaDe.RC - Moonglade knows he has the potential to compete on the world circuit and I can imagine he's quite sick of the lackluster Australian scene by now. If EG threw money at him like a stripper then sent him to the EGTL compound in Seoul, he could be a Korean-stomping machine in no-time.
EG.PiG.RC -- He beat some top name foreigners and mid-tier Koreans in the group stage of Dreamhack plus he has the drive to be one of the best players. He would easily be EG material.
EG.MajOr.RC - With Team 8 now discarding him, EG could easily pick him up although he is overwhelmingly likely to appear back on ROOT Gaming's roster.
EG.CombatEX.RC - Nah, I kid, I kid. He's still pretty good to have gone from shitbad to taking a game from PartinG in the Ro8 of WCG 2012 in about five months.

Buy out Team Prime... only take ByuN, Creator, MKP, Maru. Prime has the terran players to have a solid lineup for pro league adding an additional 3 terrans, 1 protoss with their existing strong zerg lineup.

Destiny's website is destiny.gg... So it's not for sure just based on that
Right now i think there are a couple of players i would like to see EG pick up and EG potentially get rid of (I wont speak on the latter, because I used to doubt players like OZ and now he is kicking ass in pro league)
i think TL needs to pick up another solid foreigner player, at least one, to replace some of the presence of Idra and Stephano. I would prefer a zerg player and someone with a solid style/quick mind. The first players that come to mind are an obvious Goswer and moonglade. I would like to see EG also pick up a player from the chinese scene (there are a sea of good options - this would be a great move for EG in terms of player value (players like XY, Xigua, Jim and Toodming are all top players and have huge fan followings already and would explode with an accessible stream/tournament appearances in more western events/korean events)
Good luck to EG.This team deserves the recent success it has had in proleague along with teamliquid and is now one of my favorite teams to watch.
mOOnGLaDe might happen? I don't know, depends if he was willing or if they were willing to throw money at him. Would have to be a fair bit i think as he is pretty happy with Nv/in an Aus team
this is all under the assumption that EG would be willing to not just pocket the money and be content with their position as the most talked about sc2 team in the world. i don't think a primetime kespa player is what they're interested in pursuing since winning doesn't give them the best return on their investment but drama does.

Alliance is the name of a long established supermarket in Guernsey that sells a wide variety of foods at super low prices and is generally awesome, but is basically an actual warehouse filled with food, like most cash and carry stores in the UK. It is a real business in the location the .gg tld relates to and has been around for years.
THEAlliance.gg is the website for some new EG spinoff.

Not by EG themselves, but kennigit confirmed it on live on three and blasted slasher for dancing around the bush and just not saying alliance is EG when everyone knows they are. Slasher pretty much admitted it then too.
