But it has such a storied history in Starcraft 2. From the early days of Idra, and the liquid vs EG rivalry which in some ways culminated in "you weren't loss" and later by EG aquiring HuK. From Eg vs Complexity being rekindled through Crusher and his infamous "  " at TSL 3.To the days of the EG curse, and the peak of EG in SC2 as they established their "Yankee"esque image through the acquirement of Stephano and later Jaedong. The foreigner walk through the valley of death in the form of EGTL in proleague. Then the decline. The brief flashes of inspiration along the way including Jaedong taking second place at Blizzcon, and Xenocider breathing a bit of new life into the team in my opinion. But mostly decline. Idra's final ragequit, Stephano's retirement, HuK's move to a caster role, the utter failure of that damn Pizza.GG thing that -as crazy as this is- a bunch of this community put a lot of effort into and it was just surprising that Papa Johns didn't seem to care that we hit every benchmark in less than a week. Now it's all gone. I mean granted, it's been a long time coming. But still, EG fans deserved better than this. | ||

PPD is also considered one of the best dota2 captains ever. He did, after all, win a TI, which is an incredible feat (not that some of the "hurdur control 1 unit casul game" people would admit). Anyways didnt know EG still kept players to this day. | ||

As a caster you can have a pretty long esports career though. And since he is a pretty good OW caster he is looking better than most. | ||

I expect PDD to refresh EG and get it big again in different fields and standing opposed to the infamous NA Org trio infernal TSM, TL and C9 I hope they soon pick up a strong CS:GO team and get it rolling. | ||

Considering that PPD announced his return to Dota 2 semi-professionally this year... Yeah, will be interesting to see if that happens. | ||

I'll probably always think of iNcontroL and the EGMSCL in those golden years of 2011-2012 every time I pick up a can of Monster. | ||

HuK needs a well paid job in this case. | ||

Probably more than you estimate! https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/san-francisco e: I visited a friend in Portland who used to live in the Bay Area, and he said he had a great deal on his old 1 bedroom San Francisco apartment: $2,200 per month. He said people outside of SF would tell him "that's so expensive!" and people inside of SF would say "that's such a bargain!" | ||

I mean 2 of the longest standing members of EG in incontrol and jwong leave and all they each get is a couple seconds in a short and poorly made video. Its actually a sign of how far I think EG as an org has fallen compared to a few years ago. Its like they've lost all their pride in the brand with the exception of their DotA team. This... Honestly, I don't follow SC2 anymore. I watch a little LoL these days and that's about it for eSports. WC3 and SC2 were my passions back when I had more time and actually played/managed eSports. EG has done a lot for eSports in America, and I'm grateful for what they've done, but for myself, as an unimportant eSports associate, I know longer care for them or respect them as an organization. I'll love what the name has done and accomplished, but they mine as well not exist in my mind anymore. But since they do still exist, good luck to them with their mostly casual titles and their unprofessional seeming staff. | ||

Yeah, it really depends on where you live, but $2.2k is pretty good: https://www.zumper.com/blog/2016/09/mapping-san-francisco-rent-prices-this-fall-september-2016/ I know that, when we did our apartment hunt in SF in December 2015, 2br apartments were going for anywhere between $3k way out in outer sunset to >$4k if you wanted to live in the heart of downtown. Crazy stuff. | ||
