ms.spyte would be like an anna prosser 2.0 and would spice things up at the EG lair if she got picked up. she could also help with team moral by helping demuslim get over his break up with his girlfriend that idra complained about all the time.
painuser is also a totally obvious candidate for pickup. he has so much potential talent that i find it completely mind boggling eg hasn't made a move to add him to their proleague roster yet. if eg doesn't act quick and pick up painuser, he'll get taken by KTrolster to replace flash as their ace pretty soon.
I just....can't compute...ggghhh.
Well I assume there is some troll hidden on the post, and I like it (cf my sign)
The idea of painuser in the position of "Ultimate weapon" made me giggle

Is it possible they could implode out of PR crisis so bad they couldn't fire a scapegoat?

I'm kind of shocked that EG hasn't picked up Coca. He is a known talent and would do well in Proleague, I doubt they would have to pay him much. As for other Koreans, who exactly? It is slim pickings since Azubu acquired all the notables and worth whiles. Perhaps EG could look for potential unknown talent? Is EG planning a long term stay in Korea to make this worthwhile? The EG/TL terran line up is abysmal, but what Korean terran is out there that they can acquire?
I honestly think their NA SC2 lineup is fine. Perhaps they could pick up players like hellokitty, spanishiwa, or kawaiirice for cheap. I don't know much about EG's financials but if Idra was reportedly making between $50K-80K, the three players above could be all had for at most $45K or way way way cheaper.
However, EG is a big name and a popular brand in the Esports scene. I can easily see them looking at star players whose contract is about to expire. They have the money to pick up two top tier players. There aren't any foreigners right now who were as dominant as Stephano when he was signed by EG so I doubt they would be paying the same salary. Perhaps they can afford more than two. Or maybe it's time to branch into other games? Two LOL teams is better than one.

Don't speak such garbage in this trash thread. SKTs team is loyal. To suggest selling out to EG is like saying KTBisu would ever happen.

Yes, Bisu has historically been extremely loyal to his team.

I'm glad my friend warned me by mail about this post. I looked for it on TL just to read it again.

Haha, that LucifroN ref at the end ! Made me laugh a bit !
OT: I don't really see any top tier Korean joining EG... Don't know really why, more a gut feeling than anything, but still...
|
great read! I thing EG.life.RC is the most likely outcome. parting really really wanted to be on a KeSPA team and I don t think he will go anywhere anytime soon

Aren't you supposed to be an EG fan ? And know what literally means? Pick up Polt for NA and Life and Parting for PL, please. 
Yes I know what literally means thanks.

i wonder if EG will keep coach park and their korean team house as well
|
Whoever they are going to recruit is much less interesting compared to the inevitable choice EG has to make next year between proleague and WCS AM region.
edit:
Well actually signings could be an indication.
- If its koreans with high skills, but less international popularity- then they are going to stick to proleague.
- If its a high skilled superstar, then i guess its 50/50.
- If the signings will be focused on popular foreigners - then they probably are going to start pretending that proleague never existed.

with the extra money EG should hire maybe a hunderd.. no a thousand new guys from the GM and high master ladder with cheap cotracts. One of them is bound to succeed.
Most of the gms would be like hell I'll never get signed anyway so they would agree to almost anything to get some pocket change and if they did succeed EG has many top tier players cheap + boosted the scene.

If RedBull wants to keep Life, EG cannot outbid that. And KeSPa teams have a lot of money, if they don't want to, they won't let a superstar leave. Besides that, I think every Korean potential superstar knows the value of a training house with his own team and the superiority of it over EG
EG should get Jim, he's sick good and it would increase their market value as they would sign a Chinese player.

Small print was so #1. Great write-up, too.

I'm rather curious to know who has been "scapegoated" in the past.
You could argue how stupid the community is, but you can't argue that Orb, IdrA and whoever else were the ones that wrote what people brought the pitchforks out for.

Pft. Just tell Monster that RedBull wants Life. Easy-peasy.

One thing is for sure come August EG is going to be extremely lacking in the Zerg department and depending on what Huk does they could be lacking in the toss department as well.
What would be interesting to note is what foreigners will be available around then...why? Because while EG does pick up good koreans to boost their play ability, they still need English speakers to market their products and gain / keep sponsorship.
