Team EG has announced that they have acquired one of Canada's best CS players today Ian Royle. Ian comes from the American CS team JMC. Royle has just come back from the WCG Pan-Am games with EG, as he stepped in for a sick Jimmy Lin. With this move EG is now back with a all Canadian lineup and Ian will be taking the place of Erik "da_bears" Stromberg. Erik has been playing with Team zEx during all the WCG games since he is not canadian. Below is what Owner of Team EG Alex Garfield had to say about the recent pickup.

On Saturday, the decision was finalized. We had been thinking about making this move since returning from the Pan-Am Championships in Mexico, but needed to ascertain exactly what was going on with Ian and JMC. Ian was not under contract with JMC, and that's what made this acquisition possible.”

The team’s sponsors allowed for salaried players, and so EG were looking for a stable and hard working player that would practice consistently for upcoming events. Ian Royle is a very skilled and motivated player that EG has played with and he would not negatively affect the team’s chemistry.

With this move it now leaves JMC with a roster of 4 once again and makes EG even strong with one of Canadas best CS players. You can find the complete rosters of both JMC and EG below:

• EG’s starting five is now:
  
  Jimmy Lin
  Pasha "Red Dragon" Lari
  Matt "bl00dsh0t" Stevenson
  Robert "blackpanther" Tyndale
  Ian Royle

• JMC's roster is now:
  
  Derek "exodus" Heidinger
  Corey "hanes" Hanes
  Shawn "Des1re" Khan
  David "zid" Chin

Of course here at MYM we would like to wish both EG and JMC the best of luck to them.
