EG doesn't need better players, they need a better training system. Most of their players constantly seem behind the metagame, either due to location/traveling (Puma, Huk), stubbornness (Idra), or just plain being bad (everyone else). Now they have Stephano, who is the poster boy of not practicing.
Given the money and resources being pumped into them, there's no excuse for guys like InControl and Machine not to be some of the best NA players. You probably can throw Idra in there too, as he continually struggles against the same types of players. Going to korea for a couple weeks won't fix this - it's an institutional problem. The team seems more focused on selling gear and getting views than preparing to win. And I'm sorry InControl, but practicing super hard for the week before a tournament does not count.
