If you’ve read our newsletters at all recently, you might’ve noticed EG isn’t doing too hot. Their commitment to rebuild the NA scene through the “blueprint” and “pipeline” is the only thing keeping them in a positive light.
This is why it makes complete sense that they kick the recently promoted HexT for Danish player refrezh. Wait no, that makes zero sense.
We’ve turned the page in the latest chapter of the book “What is EG doing” which seems to never end. We can’t wait to read the story behind why they decided to risk becoming “the saviors of NA” for a bang-average European player.
refrezh’ time on Sprout wasn’t particularly successful or statistically impressive. Yeah, he could’ve claimed IGL as an excuse for his stats but not after he ended up changing roles and still not improving.
To be fair, he’s not a terrible player. He’s just not the star that EG needs. In general, raising a team’s floor is a good idea, but if your ceiling is 20CM from the floor your priorities need reshuffling.
Stay tuned for the next chapter…
