LIQUID`INCONTROL
"I am proud to announce my joining of Team Liquid. Being on EG was nice but all that attention? Money? The pressure of being expected to lead esports to a bright and glorious future? Not for me. I prefer the laid back pre-retirement feel of TL where players go to disappear and allow the Koreans to do the work for us. Now that I'm on Liquid, I don't have to work at remembering the long list of sponsors! It's far more simple to work them into conversation. For example, right now, I feel like a Barracuda swimming up stream to mate and after that long journey of trials and tribulations while trying to not be distracted by Shiny Things! Piece. Of. Cake. I cannot wait to join my teammates on Skype and discuss all the most recent Zerg strategies! Lets do this!"

"In Starcraft2 there isn't a single pro-gamer, no matter how loyal who, doesn't envy those on EG. The Lifestyle of a celebrity. Cars, Women, starring in commercials and an endless supply of energy drinks. Team Liquid was my home, but you don't become a Starcraft2 Monster by staying home, do you?
Not only will it help me bring my progaming career to the next level, as proven by iNcontroL, it'll also help me make the transition into the much more attractive follow up career of casting/hosting. And EVERY pro-gamer knows that's how you become rich without properly working. A dream come true.
As I add Evil Geniuses to my LinkedIn work history, I feel a great sense of satisfaction. I hope that despite the drastic rebranding of my persona you will still be happy to follow "EGTLO'' on social media and don't stop subscribing to my content. And make multiple accounts if you've already subscribed with your existing accounts."

MESSAGE FROM ALEX GARFIELD
C.E.O, Evil Geniuses Lmtd. Intl. Corporation LLC GmbH PhD
Throughout our combined time in the Sc2 scene, we've often thought Team Liquid is a pretty okay organization. On several occasions, we've worked with them, including on the amicable transfer of EGHuK, our joint venture in Proleague featuring EGJaedong, and most recently on the wildly successful crowd funding effort we held in conjunction with Papa Johns. During that campaign, we noticed the spark of salesmanship in a member of Team Liquid; Dario 'TLO' Wünsch. We also noticed that he was a very popular and talented player on Team Liquid. Naturally, we immediately began to look into how to acquire him.
In part because of our mutually respectful working relationship with Team Liquid, we of course know they didn't have the money to keep TLO, and of course, since it's all just an act, he was happy to join. Since charitable giving is tax deductable and because I'd rather not appear on anymore internet talkshows, we have agreed to trade one of our associates, iNcontroL, to Liquid and have also paid above market value for the rest of Dario's contract. We'd like to thank them for not leaking the details of this transfer to Slasher.
We think this trade will be mutually beneficial for both sides. While iNcontroL has in the past been one of our best personalities, marriage has dulled his once keen wits and his hunger to close a deal. That said, he brings a wealth of experience with him to Liquid, where even with his dulled wits and reduced personality he will thrive. We look forward to seeing them pick up a sponsor or two before iNc's inevitable "Liquid Retirement" in six months. In fact, we have already recommended that our sponsor Razer consider supporting Liquid as well. Maybe one day, with the right support, they will be able to keep their talented up-and-comers and have someone other than TaeJa win for them. Or they'll just switch everything over to Dota 2 and give up on Starcraft. Either way, we wish them the best of luck.
Meanwhile, we are pleased to welcome TLO into the firm. He will bring youthful exuberance and fresh ideas to EG, as well as a major tournament championship in the coming months, followed by a long period of building his personality. We look forward to using our unmatched resources to help TLO reach the next level in his career as a progamer and media personality. We hope you will follow him on twitter and subscribe to his stream. You guys can look forward to seeing him on plenty of talk shows, booths and in general everywhere but at a computer practicing.
