I will be sad if the EG of the future steps down as the big prize at the end of the rainbow for foreign players, and instead becomes yet another foreign-of-name-only team.

But honestly, I would not want any top koreans join EGTL, I shall stop watching SC2 if they hire Innovation or Flash or Life.

If Redbull wants to keep sponsoring Life I doubt that he is going to join a team that is sponsored by Monster Energy.

See this is interesting. STX as a company are tanking, and you can only imagine that they'll start cutting off investments that aren't garnering any returns, so STX Soul might not be left for long. So why does it bother you if a team can supply a player with a stable living and income if it is EG signing them and not another KeSPA team?

SC2 division is moving to San Fran, EG's dota team is using the AZ house.

Unless Huk posts some noteworthy (for the right reasons) result all of a sudden, why would they though?

Dota squad and HuK/Demuslim are there right now at least. They seem to have a place in San Fransisco(?) already though. But yeah, don't know whether the place in Arizona is gonna stay or not. It's pretty 'cheap' to maintain according to Scoots.

Doubt it. HuK is still pretty good and more often than not kicks Korean ass.



I would hope EG takes a bit more responsibility in their player's training.
Whenever I watch an EG player in a tournament or on stream they kind of do their own thing.
HuK for example never seems to go macro but prefers some weird gateway timings that sometimes seem really, really weak.
The Terrans play pretty close to what we consider standard but still have a couple of unique features.

I don't want to say that this is always bad but I think in some cases players underperformed because they chose bad strategies, a problem that could certainly improved by better coaching.

Also, welcome EG.MC 2013?

Parting Flash and Rain seem like good targets but I think EG also needs to get a new foreign flagship.
Thorzain, Demuslim and HuK are all good players (good, as in better than most foreigners) but not dominant enough.
NaNi is taken, Grubby does is hown thing, Stephano quit.
Who would be the next big foreigner? Could ToD be one of the top players given the right envirnoment?

If EG wanted to sign another big-name foreigner, is there another player who gets more hype recently than Lucifron?

The future of EG is grim. They will all move to World of Tanks and curse that amazing game.

There are, but most of them are europeans and are very happy on their teams. If they are not really planning on a lair with estrict training schedules and coaches, hiring foreigners seem totally pointless to me when you can hire koreans and they actually have a teamhouse and a coach.

I don't see why a western team would pick up a chinese player when they already have so much trouble just communicating with their korean players.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

I see no reason for EG to continue proleague. PL gets them absolutely nothing; viewership is bad, production for foreign viewers is bad, their results are bad and its gotta cost them a lot of money to run both a US and a KR operation. I think what you'll see from EG is refocussing on WCS NA/EU and moving their flagship players to those regions also, even if they're korean.
