I'd personally love for them to break the TI curse and win the aegis again, especislly back to back. Would be a great achievement and if they keep playing like this they'd definitely deserve it

Yea I think getting rid of the West-East-West-East-West pattern of TI winners would be nice.

It actually was Chine-West-China-West-China-West so Sea squad would break a pattern in my eyes as well. DC would alos be nice pattern breaker.

I don't want EG because I don't like the organization. I feel it lacks integrity.


And yet you are Alliance fan, same organization.

Point. Truth be told that was selected some years ago and I never bothered to switch it again.

I never expected DC to be in top 4, but I'm always amazed by what happens at every TI.

overly greedy itemization by the Europeans


I'd have just written "not fucking buying fucking bkb against fucking all magic damage lineup", less polite but more to the point.

I personally like EG because I feel they have the most integrity of any "eSports" organization right now. Sure, it may not be the feel good happy organization that a lot of people seem to idolize, but it's a team that takes itself seriously as a business. And that means the players get paid, all management needs are taken care of, the sponsors are constantly grown and renewed. And none of that is on the back of a secondary business pushing money into an eSport passion project, because EG's one and only business is running players and teams.

I think if EG stays focused against Wings in the Winner's Final they will take this. Hoping so bad they repeat. #USA #bleedblue #oldmanfear

Thanks for articulating my exact feelings so well!! At the end or the day, EG is the most professional organization. Their managers fight for their players (I remember Charlie throwing a fit at DAC), people get paid (unlike Secret), and they actually try to build consistent teams.

I'm pretty sure that's the Chinese crowd booing their own team for being SUNSFANNED.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

You do understand that EG don't stand a chance if they win the WB series?

You think they have more integrity than Liquid?

EG kept IdrA on the payroll and removed him from the team only after he almost literally shitted on the community, then rehired him as HotS player some time later once they outrage was tuned down. This shows to me that they don't really care about integrity as long as money is coming the right way.

And it's not really hard to find evidences that Sumail and ppd have problems with decent behaviour.

Having staff standing by their players is one thing, having players worth standing by is another. In my book EG doesn't care that much about the latter, unless you mean "worth" quite literally.

Seems to me that you're defining integrity completely different than us.

EG as an organization has integrity. When they sign a contract with a player, that player gets paid and the terms are met (from everything we've heard). When the teams/players are struggling, effort is made to make that situation better. When they get sponsors, those sponsors are made happy so they continue to reinvest in the team.

If you don't like how the players conduct themselves, that's one thing. But EG the team and the company, first and foremost, is an organization designed to represent the players, not the fans watching them, even though the two are often intertwined. And I have a lot of respect for an organization that can come into the pro gaming business for well over a decade now and show that it's a viable, sustainable, business.

Team Liquid does a lot of things right, but it's also a forum and website first, and a management team second. And it definitely started as a team that would pay players out of website traffic money. No idea if it's still that way or if the pro team is completely sustainable now.

Im rooting for EG.

I honestly despise the two event people...The girl is okay but the chubby annoying dude is terrrrrrrible. Absolutely terrible.

Screaming and yelling constantly....doing nothing productive.

Can't stand it.

As a fan in the arena I really lost a lot of interest after TL went out. Enjoyed a couple games on that 9 ping and I'm sure I'll get hype for the last couple days but I am also on team #AnyoneButEG


How can you be an EG hater after thier performance so far?


Because I like other teams way more and would prefer to not have back to back TI winners?
