That is definitely the right call financially for both EG and for the esport in the long term
HOWEVER, how they handled the decision is entirely wrong.

Dropping this onto the team a few weeks after they just won you the biggest tournament ever, is just poor management.

If what I've seen about the salaries from reporters is correct, this pay cut would've been known weeks and even months in advance before dropping this on the players. EG didn't just suddenly realize "Oh shit we are gonna be out of money, time to let the team know", its likely been known for a while.

So in a situation like that, its the orgs duty to put the players+staff first and give them a heads up way sooner, do everything you can to accommodate what is an unfortunate but unavoidable decision, not do it they way they did. The way they handled it, the team woke up with 2024 in their sights as the undisputed best team in the world, and went to sleep wondering if they are even going to be the same team in the next few months

Thank goodness

I will be shocked if C0M and Jaw leave, they've been together for so long and on stream c0m made it sound that all he really wants is to play with this team

also where did it say that demon1 resigned

mannnnnnnnnnn, a similar thing just happened with another of my fav players

2024 season has got me sad

He has a right to be pissed tbh

He watches his son complete his dream and cement himself as one of the best players intw in his role and then he just gets fucked over by a shitty org

its bullshit

And EG would still be the best NA team somehow

i think you underestimate how difficult it is to learn a second language

Language clash

I think hes saying: EG as an org did fuck all for their team to win champs
(Unlike orgs like loud, or if you talk about masters Optic, Fnatic gambit etc etc)

My respect for potter somehow just got higher winning with this kind of org

bro

Old news, the champs are splitting and im gonna cry

lets make it happen

EG florescent yah?

ehhhh you never know

i hope so goodness gracious

ah hell nah

Im gonna be so bitter if EG dropped c0m i will have no words

Where is the spreadsheet

Id figure EG would be the ones to break the curse since the core has been together for so long

No shot another champs team falls apart for the bag

Crws has been igling

But foxz is the best Thai initiator so it’s still a bad move

One of two 6ks at in international event

Also I look back on every single one of their 2022 international tournaments, they were on the brink of playoffs every single time. It’s one of the things I’m bitter about in this esport

G2 trolled the entirety of group stage last GC and still swept the playoffs

Talon/X10/Xerxia core just fell apart

Dropping Foxz is the dumbest shit ever

Complexity underrated org to this day

Fun match

Flyuhhhhhhhh YESSSS

There is no demotion system

Fortunately EG is still there

Shoutout back when everyone thought neon was gonna replace jett

Start sending loans out to the Americas teams, if they win they can collect on the loan and take all the players

Investing in jitboys and garnets ain’t a bad idea, they’ve both showed crazy potential and they’re young, now with experience on the big stage

But yes god please just put pati on Jett and let him go kill

And if talon stop giga trolling

Also a Geng with Lakia and meteor could be insane

They got Flyuh dw

C9 Flyuh gives me hope

I still wonder what would’ve happened if 100t kept will and Sean hadn’t retired

It’s been one tournament

Thanks fella

I’d also say meteor is def a contender

Question marks for me just meant “I have no clue who this person is or how they play”

Blaze monyet benkai texture all very very good and green flags for the team

LF and Exy are question marks to me

Xeta over Zest is a fair enough take but I also think hes gets a lot more hate then he deserves

Also Saya being so hands down the best Korean duelist is very flimsy
Buzz has performed at a higher level and for a longer time then Saya has

And in terms of skill ceiling I think Foxy9 could reach insane heights

DRX is still the best possible korean roster imo

They just need to fix their shit

you and me both

we? who is we?

10 a day

Damn… well the fact that it is self admitted is the first step towards change. Which is a good sign, hope to see him play

He said on stream that after the blg loss they got a call from their management saying they got cut

NOOOOOO

He is very toxic, since when???? Says who?????
All of I’ve seen of him is him being super sweet kind and caring

Is there any news on JDT Art potentially making it onto one of Zeta or DFM?
