EG signs the whole world

RUSH, autimatic, Stewie2K, Brehze, CeRq, Walco, wiz, HexT, chop, CLASIA, djay, Jonji, ben1337, PwnAlone, viz.

That’s now the EG CS:GO roster, after the American juggernaut signed both Carpe Diem and Party Astronauts. The madmen actually did it.

If we zoom out a little bit, the move still looks crazy but does seem a bit more grounded in EG’s own realities. They improved their League of Legends academy roster and brought two players through to make a championship-winning team.

In principle it makes sense. It event means that they can play multiple tournaments at once. Something something monkeys and typewriters.

Is this the way to win a Major? We’re doubtful. But maybe they can GET to a Major, which would definitely be an improvement. And if nothing else, they’ve eliminated two potential competitors in the qualifier…
