If they have more money from sponsorships, they can pay their players better. Those players can then make SC2 their top priority, they don't get distracted by school or another job, and they get better results at tournaments.Again, it's a bit like filmmaking. At the root of it, hopefully everybody truly loves what they do and that's why they do it. wow gold But the people who actually have any longevity in the industry are the ones who get that it's a job and a business and you have to find a way to balance both. Teams that love gaming and want to succeed in e-sports because they have a passion for it are great, but without knowing how to keep the money flowing the right way, they just won't be able to last.Again, that's only scratching the surface. I'm still actively pursuing the answer to this, and it's something that has come up frequently with my interviews.DS: In the past year working with Evil Geniuses, what do you think their most noteworthy accomplishment has been? HuK accepting his MLG Orlando trophy Mary: Well, obviously the run at MLG Orlando was nothing short of amazing, including IdrA's accomplishments and HuK's win. The last few weeks have just been chocked full of good news and tournament wins for EG's teams. Of course, the recent announcement about their partnership with SlayerS is a very big deal. I honestly cannot wait to start really talking about that with people.DS: Evil Geniuses has been called by some the New York Yankees of eSports referring to the way they seem to be signing stars from all other major eSports teams. Do you think this is a fitting name? Why?Mary: It's a little sad, but I actually had to message a friend of mine that is a Yankees fan and ask her to explain the comparison to me because I don't follow baseball at all. So I don't know if I'm the best qualified judge to say if it really fits them or not. EG's poster promoting their signing of Chris HuK Loranger I can say that this has come up in nearly every interview I've done with members of the community. The responses have ranged all over the map but I don't think anybody can really deny that EG is well funded and that they do look for top talent to fill out their roster. The question really becomes if it's a good or a bad thing, and while I know my personal opinion on that, that doesn't really factor into the film at all. The film is about if the community believes that is good or bad, and if that actually helps their business or not. I'm still figuring that out.DS: Greg IdrA Fields is seen as a bad boy of eSports. Is he really so bad, or is it all an act?Mary: I think the answer is really neither. Saying it's all an act would be implying that he's being disingenuous and acting angry just to get fans and attention. It is true that when you meet him in the hallway at an event, he's usually very nice.
