Never will I forget the sense of community that came out of EG's announcement, the hilarious things I saw, and then, when everyone was Huk bashing, the end of the thread that no one saw coming.

Most entertaining thing ever.

I almost want to believe there is more to the announcement. I mean half of the clues didn't even have anything to do with HuK or Korea. Or were they just fucking with us?

It was cool in a way, but the news was not really big, and 99.99% of people predicted Huk to be going to EG. Idra going to Korea is not really huge news either.

Where did the announcement go? Has the thread disappeared? O_o

Yes it was a bit overhyped, but that's probably what EG was going for. idra going back to Korea is good for him but what will become of the rest of the EG team in Arizona?

Edit: Oh it was moved to community news and headlines

I was more excited when Liquid'HerO was announced. But IdrA back to Korea is good news anyway.

Idra to Korea is big news, HuK switching team is no biggy, at the end, he is still the same guy competing in the same tournaments.

I liked the hype and I think it was well wroth it.

It was fun for the community to fill up well over 600+ pages in just 2 days.

I liked it. I was pretty shocked HuK left Liquid.

I'm more excited about EG finally having a lineup worthy of the brand. I've always liked EG (from other games) and wanted them to be a top team.

I think it's going to be great to see IdrA, HuK, Puma and perhaps other koreans training together in korea. I expect big things from idrA soon!

I have to wonder though.. what is the point of EG's NA team? They haven't done anything and they just bought them a big house where none of their star players are going to stay (for extended periods).
