I just want to say, EG has gradually won me over. I started off as the biggest anti-EG person in the world, and yet they've finally convinced me that they really do care about eSports in the best possible way. Helps that they signed one of my best friends, but still. EG fighting!

Kind of hard to be cursed when he actually hasn't really done anything yet no? EG were known for taking players who arguably peaked out in the past. Considering LucifroN and his brother VortiX decided to decline Alex's offer. I would think you would want to make your team look a little more appealing than just the money. You can see Alex wants to get away from the stigma that comes attached to the EG brand when he established the Eurobrand with the Alliance where NTH are running over the DotA2 scene and let loose NaNiwa. Not a bad idea if I say so myself. So what's the next step? Fostering young talent with a lot of potential and providing them a place to exceed expectations. This is where Superiorwolf (a.k.a. Suppy) and guys like Xeno come in. They want to be more than a place go when they're set to retire or their best days are behind them, so save the EG Curse for someone else Mister.

The modern EG-curse is much simpler then the old one.
- player that gets some attention, is developing, doing well
- joins EG
- starts streaming 24/7, because hell, this is way more fun (and financially more efficient then trying to find some whole day $50 prizemoney tourney, that does not have 3 koreans in it, and then losing in round 7 after wasting a full day to another player that had the same thoughtprocess coming into the tournament)
- doesn't develop at all, gets worse again and settles at some decent level (still good enough to do funny things on stream, but far away from being competitive)
- doesn't care about that, since streaming gives enough money without any success in tourneys

And well, when you look at the thread, you see that most of the community is willing to support this once again.
STREAM MORE!!! ALL WATCH HIS STREAM!!! GUYS SO GOOD WHEN STREAMING!!!
but let's all pretend that this is the best way to practice, because he is explaining so much of his thoughtprocess while streaming! Pretty sure professional racedrivers also practice by teaching their children how to ride a bike.
