Who knew making semi finals of dreamhack (1 win away from finals) and finals of dreamhack (1 win away from winning the whole thing) makes him god awful.
So far he has played in 3 foreign tournaments, he won the kingston hyperX tournament placed top 4 at dreamhack and placed finals last dreamhack.
Seriously he's not doing bad at all. His proleague record isn't as good as it should be but that's it. He also just made premier league wcs NA which I figure if he makes it out of the ro32 he has a very, very good chance of winning once it hits the lan environment.
I mean going by this then flash must be having an awful performance too right? I bet nobody would say he's having an awful performance and all he's done is make finals of MLG and make ro16 in code S.

With many esF players getting so little exposure right now, I could see many of them dreaming of EG as a chance to play proleague and international tournaments. And who knows who will enter the drafts for next season besides T8 layoffs.
Life would be a great choice, with him being kind of like Stephano (Zerg, so talented he can pretty much thrive on his own)

They could pick up the 2 Terrans from Prime. MKP and Maru.
Everybody loves Terrans.

Are there any Protoss players in WCS NA? Just checking.

I think everybody overestimate life. He lose 3 times straight by kespa zerg and parting in gsl. And now he even lose to foreign player like tlo or sjow. And he is really bad at pvz and zvz. Only good at zvt(but even he lost to foreign terran) i really doubt that if life can beat any kespa protoss or zerg now

Compared to him automatically winning everything that would be an improvement, because the end result would not be preordained.

Still has contract with mYi, it has to end first or EG has to pay good amount to the team which they wouldn't like to do.

My guess is IF they have money to spend (you never know in these times) after stephano's contract ends, they'll probably just distribute the resources into another game. If they continue to spend money on sc2, they might begin cutting more players (huk, machine, thorzain, aLive, OZ, incontrol as a player) and just buy 1-2 strong korean(s) to help tighten the spl line-up.
I honestly think they need to pull out of Korea and just build up the Alliance (this doesn't mean they shouldn't recruit more koreans). Maybe it's time to just focus on the EU scene. Pulling out of Korea would save them a TON of money. The exposure they're obtaining by being in SPL isn't paying the salaries of the players on their EG portion line-up. They jumped the gun and purchased 2nd-3rd rate esf koreans as soon as they were free agents and it hasn't paid off at all. Cut them and start recruiting powerhouse terrans or pull out of Korea completely.

I'm interested as to how you know exactly how much they are getting out of their SPL exposure. Also it would be abandoning a ton of infrastructure that they have built in korea, not to mention having to acquire the same infrastructure in the EU.
Also aLive and Oz are part of the core SPL lineup, and they've been performing alright.
As for spending money on another game, they already have at least 1 dota team and a league team, maybe they could get CS or something, but I feel like they're probably happy with their diversity as is.

I could see PartinG going EG. Life naaaah

I'm seriously saddened by the fact that Stephano is retiring, it really sucks. To be honest, i don't see EG staying in Sc2 much longer, maybe only a couple more years. But it would be nive to see some good koreans joining EG, and have the EG members be put on a more strict practice. Then again, EG is fueled by publication

The real question here is whether or not KeSPA will let one of their marquee guys leave. The Association did loan out Jaedong to EG last November (Korean media refers to it as a loan, though EG doesn't seem to care about disputing this discrepancy) but that was all part of a larger plan to bring in EG-TL into the Proleague, appeal to a western audience, and get some salary relief for their internally funded 8th Team.
just recently Team 8 dismissed 4 of their players, Major amongst them. If it was not months before the year-long contract of JD with EG ends, it would have hardened my suspicions of him really just being loaned and Team 8 saving up to be able to afford Jaedong once more.

Interesting.

Lets not forget that all the Azubu players may as well be considered free agents.

EG and SKT should just combine forces. I could die happy.
