What are EG doing?

When partnership leagues were announced, at first, i was like “mayhe EG will get a spot because they have a big lineage in Esports from Starcraft to Dota to LOL to CSGO, so they’d be a shoe-in.”

I didn’t understand why EG were so hated, even with their lackluster Valorant squad. I legitimately thought EG should be a respected org. Then the Danny report came out and that put my faith a little down.

But their story in Valorant in 2023 has been nothing but incredible — literally a rags to riches story. But after Champs, EG have been fucking around a lot by asking their players to take 50% pay cuts or risk looking for other opportunities. Granted, the players asked for the pay cuts, but is the org that broke to keep them?

And now this?? This is incredibly sad to see such talented players be put in contract jail while the org is just cashing in their winnings. It’s highly disrespectful for a world championship team and disrespectful for being such a storied org and doing this.

TL;DR: stop with the bullshit EG.

Imo they shouldn’t have paid that much in the first place 🤷‍♀️. Paying a quant salary for players who haven’t achieved anything (at least at the start of 2023) is fucking insane

bro this isnt contract jail lmfao ur such a follower

they were accepted to partnership before the LoL drama with Danny

At the time, they were just a dedicated esports org with a good relationship with Riot

LCS used to make content with the CEO too, Im sure Riot didnt expect it to go South so fast
