Nice to see people going instead OUT OF, going INTO the Korea region.. Seriously, up the prize money (the overall prize money I mean, not just the winner's, lol) - there Blizzard, and GL HF to JYP.. :D

IDK about his age, but it's still not too late to once again make a name for himself, Although - I DO think however that EG doesn't have a good enough policy/phylosophy for the young players.. IMO they should invest more time & teamwork into those.. After all - investing effort into the young/er players is investing into the future, but I guess I don't blame people for not being so eager to play the game, it's been gimmicky at the late-game clashes for now quite a while..

Now HotS seem in a good spot with a lot of good games lately, but - meh - precious time has passed which is hard to make up, and the players like JYP for example - have paid that price (somehow), though I have hope for this guy - his PvZ was really stellar back in the days..

Thanks for the games though JYP, though hard to think of one right now..

=========================================================================================
P.S. - on a side-note - I hope that LotV gets to learn from the previous two and we finally get a 100% complete product from the very first release and the get-go, as opposed the game being left to "fill the leftover space grow up on it's own"..

Even now HotS can improve well with doing a couple of simple tweaks as far as I'm concerned, which means it's not a 100% complete product, though feels very close to being one

Essentially, only Jaedong and Huk are really in the competitive scene.

Unexpected but with EG slowly phasing out of Korea it isn't too shocking. Wish the best for JYP and him finding a team soon.

The only thing unexpected is how far EG has fallen~ Outside of Jaedong they're just a team who used to be competitive T.T;

I really miss the early days of SC2 T.T;

That's a shame. If they were serious about team leagues, that's a huge hit.

People giving Huk too much shit in this thread. He's remained one of the most consistent top foreigners since WOL. He's not winning events, but neither is any other foreigner. It's actually quite impressive since he's adamant about not practicing in Korea.

So ... is EG going to sign PirateZerg, MoustacheZerg and EGSucksBallsWithoutMe ?

EG was a powerhouse for so long. It's weird to see this team kind of weak now

EDIT : To Prime ? Damn that was fast.

Sad, but kinda expected. Just wonder if they'll fill the now missing slot on their roster, given that they don't have a very strong line-up, except for JD, of course.

He has been quiet lately. So it makes sense that he wouldn't be on the team. He has played well for them. Honestly Incontrol and jaedong are the only ones worth anything on that team. Incontrol is great for promoting the EG brand and he has passion for the game. jaedong just makes deep runs in tournaments. I think most eyes are now on Dota 2.

just because EG LoL is terrible ^^

I guess JD is not happy without korean teammates. Go pick Violet.
