Evil Geniuses welcome North-American StarCraft II icons: Greg 'IdrA' Fields and Nick 'Tasteless' Plott.

This past Tuesday

Team EG announced the acquisition of StarCraft 2 icons Gregory 'IdrA' Fields and Nick 'Tasteless' Plott. This bolsters up their StarCraft 2 presence with these players joining their current six-player SC2 roster (who were with the organization as SC:BW players).

Gregory 'IdrA' Fields is an extremely successful player having moved to Seoul, South Korea during his SC: BW days to compete against the best players in the world. He has also had numerous championship victories and top 3 finishes at WCG, ESWC and ESL events.

Nick 'Tasteless' Plott comes in as EG.SC2's Division Manager and also resides in Asia. He is a very famous SC2 broadcaster overseas having worked for GomTV and Blizzard.

Scott Smith, Managing Director of EG had the following to say about the pick-ups:

"When it comes to non-Korean Starcraft, there are no bigger names in competition and broadcasting than IdrA and Tasteless. Our goal is to have the world’s best Starcraft II team, and we’ve made a large step in pursuit of that goal today."

What does it matter?

SK is very bad at being up to date with pictures of gamers. And it matters if you want to be professional. That picture right there isn't a picture of Idra, well let me explain, it was a picture of him but that isn't him anymore. He is a person older than the one in the picture. You asked why it matters, is it really fair to Idra to post a picture where he is a lot younger? That makes people get the impression that he is a little child and that is not professional by SK. You might say that the image isn't that old. How old should it be then? 10, 9, 8 years? What?!

Well, for one, it's not a bad picture of him - and he is wearing the jacket of his most recent team so it still holds a lot of relevance. He doesn't look 'unprofessional' in the picture at all, he looks youthful, but he could easily pass for 23-25, he doesn't look like he's 12.

Honestly it really doesn't matter. People know that's idra and this post is about idra (and tasteless).
