As you may recall, last month PR Balrog announced that he would not be renewing his contract with Evil Geniuses. This caused quite the stir, leaving many of his fans questioning why someone would give up that sponsorship, the dream of many a player. While to some this action is unfathomable, PR Balrog thought a lot about this decision before he made it, and here takes the time to bring us through his thought process.
Primarily, as a player, it seems that the sponsorship was making him lax in his performance and training. The security made him comfortable, thus driving a need to get that fire back that leads him to place highly at tournaments in the first place. He also discusses some conflict with gaining side-sponsors–which he touched on in his announcement–as well as the plan he has for himself and his brand in the coming year.
