Can't get rid of Bryce. Sure he doesn't really compete, but he seems to be a really swell guy and I doubt he costs EG much anyways. And you don't want to lose the Machine vs. Food series

Some people are just so full of hate when it comes to EG, I don't even understand why.

Regardless, interesting article and thread nonetheless.

IF STX is really dying. I really could see EG grabbing a few of them very quickly. I don't see why they would kick machine, they seem to want to have a korea squad and a NA squad. But innovation is a player too good to not make a bid for. JYP, I still could see not getting his contract renewed. He doesn't really bring the stream numbers, and I don't think he is that great in pro league.

Please back up your statements with facts. as of round 5, he is 13-14 in proleague. Thats a 48 percent win rate, which may not seem great, but is actually very good for proleague. out of 87 players, he's 24. which isn't bad at all.

EDIT: ANNNND he just qualified for Code A, which is ridiculously hard to do. Players like sniper couldn't even qualify.

If Stephano retires, I think they should focus on having a top Korean squad with 2-3 potential tournament winners. Their foreigner division has been pretty much on the decline: Thorzain isn`t exactly in his "king of the north-shape", Demuslim needs to change his approach to the game (getting out of his comfort-zone as the nice streamer) and Huk seems unable to adapt to the game. So their best shot would be to rebuild their foreigner division around Suppy and hungry na-talents and purchasing at least two additional top Koreans (Symbol, Violet, Supernova).

@Irrational_Animal

Everything is not about winning tournaments. EG has an extremely good income through streams.

I don't think any KeSPA player would want to join EG. Jaedong did it because Team 8 isn't exactly a stable team but the top players of the other KeSPA teams aren't going anywhere.
