It's a perfect trade, TL giving their worst player.

IMO EG got pissed by Incontrol's recent attitude. Since Incontrol is a respected big fish and EG also could offer good money for TLO, it makes perfect sense for trade and get a fresh roster instead of decaying one. I feel sad about TLO, the one who was determined to stay in TL regardless what, but if the Boss say so.... TLO has to leave.

I thought'd I post this here because I don't think many people here get TLO's email newsletter, where he shared the whole story of how he signed:

Show nested quote +
I got an email from Alex Garfield completely out of the blue to arrange a meeting, we settled on a time and he had his personal fighter pilot pick me up right outside my apartment. Then we flew to New York, where I had to take this series of tunnels to his mansion under central park.

In his office, we made a little bit of small talk before he told me he wanted me on EG. I admit I suspected that was why I was being called. What else could it have been? I was flattered, but I said I'd never betray Liquid, they made me, and I explained how I was very loyal because without them I would be in a gutter addicted to crack, without question that's where I'd be, and then he told me what a standard EG salary would be.

I must have appeared to be blown away or something because Alex said, "You'd have literally shit your pants if you played dota."

"I only have one question before we do this." Alex said, "Can you replace inControl, talent wise?" I explained to him that I was better than inControl one handed while piss drunk.

"I'm going to hold you to that, TLO." Alex said, and that was all he needed to know.

"There's only one rule at EG," Alex said, "You can do whatever you want, but don't tell our entire fan base to go fuck themselves...it sounds easy, but it's been an issue before."

I agreed and we shook hands, as I was leaving, Alex called me, I turned and he looked at me meaningfully and then whispered, just loud enough for me to hear:

"doooooohhhhhhhhh-taaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh" and then with a slight nod he turned away.

TLO chose this for HIMSELF.

Yep, that's absolute bullshit, nobody buys that. TLO was TeamLiquid flag and best TL foreigner they ever had. There certainly were more important reasons for trade than just "disappointment".

"Geoff will join Liquid, where he will finally be with an organization that wins foreign Sc2 teamleagues and sent a Dota 2 team to The International 3."

Pure gold. GGWP TL and EG.

Also the wild theories about the "why?" and the angry people in this thread...:D

Wow, I never imagined TL would do some sort of trading business with EG after HuK back stabbed TL at his peak to chase that dirty EG money.

About this trade itself, on paper it seems better for EG. They're gaining another player that can contribute to actually winning team leagues and only losing a marketing personality. EG already has their LoL players with twice as many twitter followers as Incontrol, they can just have Snopeh take up the mantle of EG marketing guy. It should work even better since he's part of the community for a alive game.

TL gets a guy to help market their team but I don't know how effective it will be. If Waxangel who actually speaks Korean can't get a decent interview out of Taeja I can't imagine Incontrol can do it. Hero already has tons of fans so I doubt much will change in that regard. I guess can he can bring more attention to Snute. Wait, if TLO is gone who else is even on Team Liquid anymore?

I'm really sad to see TL getting the bad end of another deal with EG, it seems they can't help but be pushed around by them. Maybe in the future Snute will become a famous model and bring fame and fortune to the team, then with their new found non-esports money they can fight back and poach Jaedong from EG.
