I believe if they go into macro games I will win 2-0 < Just so you know, Libo really looks up to you as a player  . He was just being confident haha. | ||

Unless Xenocider becomes a PR nightmare (in which case EG would just cut him from the team), his pickup is a good investment. Maybe he won't win a WCS anytime soon, but EG and the community never placed those expectations on him either like they do with a player like Stephano, and they almost certainly aren't paying him a hefty salary either. EG also gets credit from the community for supporting the local NA scene and promoting up and coming players this way, and the positive goodwill from the community could be significant towards EG's overall image. | ||

The case of Xenocider may be the second Suppy case if things go as planned. For such a young kid still developing his skills, he manages to play with the best on the NA server and has enormous potential to grow as a player still. Similar to Suppy, who was just another NA player who no one expected to grow much, EG developed his talent and let him become a real contender for best NA player. Instead of signing big names like Jaedong and Stephano, EG knows Xenocider is a good investment, because he either performs well, or doesn't perform as well as believed, but still manages to maintain a good image with EG for a relatively low cost to the brand. | ||
