lol. Were they supposed to tell you something before the countdown ended? Without a countdown altogether?

EG made this shit exciting, not depressing or heart-wrenching.

You mean they made a countdown timer that told you how long you had to wait until your favourite SC2 team's star player leaves the team to chase the bucks, hunkering down with teenage guy who betrayed his mentor, friends and team and premature ejac-GG IdrA?

So exciting yo.

Dude, when Boxer first founded his BW team, the team wasn't being paid. They fought and trained together without giving up or leaving. Sure sounds like a family to me. And to be honest, Liquid offered him a contract. EG obviously had more money. So either way, he would've been paid.



because the environment back then and the environment right now are completely the same right


dont know why everyone is so emotional and butthurt over huk going to EG when all everyone cries about all day is how they want to see eSports as a legitimate sport.

isn't having "life-changing" money deals in contracts a step in the right direction for eSports? or do you all want to sit down and hold hands and hope things go back to foreigner-BW level eSports where theres practically no funding,no big deals and nothing interesting at all


Yah, it's more "legitimitzes" sure. But there's still this sense of "belonging". We're not crying because EG signed a player, it's just one of our favorite players is leaving for a team that's well........controversial at best.

Please read the OP. I don't hate Huk and I won't. I will still cheer for him. I simply feel better if he was with Liquid. It is his choice. But sad news being delayed 48 hours isn't all that great of a feeling.

The name of this website has become somewhat of a misnomer at this point. I'm pretty sure most EG fans tune into TL to get their SC2 fix.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

Basically this. Sigh.. As long as HuK can remain in Korea, and in GSL code S, it's alright. I'll just picture him in a TL shirt, and not that evil shiz.

And TL hardly gets players from other teams. Sheth is the only one whom I know was on another team before, and that was only an announcement.

Feel the same way. I'm actually furious to get treated like this. It comes very close to decieth in my eyes. Like where the hype for an announcement is not proportional to the actual annoucement.
Within minutes people figured out that HuK was going to EG. It was almost not possible for this not to happen especially with an unending stream of information to build upon.

Teamliquid always so good. Nazgul total boss. Every situation gets handled with utmost care and respect. Reading HuK's farewell, it contains everything. You feel with him reading it. TSL 3 with the DC win/loss in BoxeR vs Nightend. They had already sorted it before hand, and while it occured during their broadcast they released their threads and reasoning. Guided people towards it, and put the broadcast itself on hold, just like what wouldve happen if it was a live DC situation.
FXO releases a ton of announcements. Real announcements. And whenever something stirs up, he already responded to explain it. Man that seems so hard to keep. Much respect for that.

This is what I feel is proper conduct. The only thing that is missing is for them to work together. For everyone to work together. Work in the same way under the same general principles.
I feel a protocol is lacking and is becoming increasingly necesairy while there is growth.

All this hype for something we instantly knew. The whole point goes away, there is no surprise. You say, we are signing H.K. We will tell you who it is in 2 days. Get psyched sheeple.
Like because it is no surprise. The 2 days just delays the confirmation. It's like holding it back. I don't think that's a good practice.

Finally, because I'm still mad. There are only two lines spent on IdrA going to Korea and the house there. It probably was one sentence total. No information about it, they have said many months ago they trying to get a house in Korea, never went through with it. What value is this announcement of the house then? And IdrA going back was just a matter of time. Since he got back the only real benefit he had was to develop personally and get back into society if you will. He's been alone a lot, and missing out on many fun things. Now he's better than ever, energized and ready to go back where he belongs. The upper echelon.

No graphics, no nothing is spend on those topics.
I just have to vent. I'm still bracing for more news. And I'm still expecting bad news to occur. Is this the end of the announcements, wasn't there a whole chain?
The way they handled it was much worse than the actual transaction. I actually feel abused.

Nony was on eSTRO previously. So funny to see so many fanboys up set right now. FXO has been throwing around money in this scene for awhile, getting fou and running all these tournaments, making a team house etc., yet no mention of them throwing money around. EG signs a high profile player and now it's "OMFG EG JUST THROWING MONEY AT EVERYYYYTHING ARWRSDFLLL"

Seems like everyone is just out to troll EG for doing whats best for EG. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

1) Tyler on eSTRO was how long ago? Check your calender bro.
2) FXO partnering up with fOu is a partnership like TL-oGs. Can't tell how that relates to this situation.
3) If EG announced they were setting up a team house without all this hype, I doubt people are going to be angry.
4) EG did spend a crapload of money to sign Huk. And I mean a lot.

The difference is that FXO isn't gunning after established talent to shore up their lineup. FXO is literally injecting esports with tons of money. With 3 teams sponsored by FXO, plus the team house, plus tournaments, FXO is powering esports up.

The way i see it, EG has basically 3 players right now, 2 of which they just bought out and 1 that has been doing comparatively shitty recently and has a fairly bad attitude. Practically none of EG have been producing high-end results for a long time. The solution to that is not to work on the players they have, but to buy talent from other teams. The NA house is basically an afterthought at this point. I highly doubt that the rest of EG matters to alex until they start producing big results. My guess is that that is also why Incontrol stopped doing SotG. He wasn't performing, he gets dropped into no-name category.

EG is just a shitty team IMO. No lineup, so they buy new talent. When that doesn't work, buy some more talent.

So what you're saying is you're mad that EG has the business oriented mindset to actually cultivate sponsors, while the overwhelming majority of other teams sit on their ass. Mad that someone is more successful? That's jealousy bro.

Because having 2.5 good players and letting the rest of the team stagnate will cultivate sponsors, as opposed to what fxo is doing.

Its not about being more successful. Its about the lack of effort on EG's part to improve the rest of the team. FXO takes their whole team to korea, and qxc manages an all-kill on IM and generally speaking the team improves. EG groups the non-performers in NA, buys 2 new players, and sends the 3 that they want to make money off of to korea to do better. I'd much rather see the "life changing offer" they made HuK put to use giving opportunities for people like Inc/Demuslim/Machine to improve.

Because the site is Teamliquid and not EG.

The name of this website has become somewhat of a misnomer at this point. I'm pretty sure most EG fans tune into TL to get their SC2 fix.


And TL hardly gets players from other teams. Sheth is the only one whom I know was on another team before, and that was only an announcement.


Nony was on eSTRO previously. So funny to see so many fanboys up set right now. FXO has been throwing around money in this scene for awhile, getting fou and running all these tournaments, making a team house etc., yet no mention of them throwing money around. EG signs a high profile player and now it's "OMFG EG JUST THROWING MONEY AT EVERYYYYTHING ARWRSDFLLL"

Seems like everyone is just out to troll EG for doing whats best for EG. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.


1) Tyler on eSTRO was how long ago? Check your calender bro.
2) FXO partnering up with fOu is a partnership like TL-oGs. Can't tell how that relates to this situation.
3) If EG announced they were setting up a team house without all this hype, I doubt people are going to be angry.
4) EG did spend a crapload of money to sign Huk. And I mean a lot.


1) Most players were on previous clans teams prior to TL.
2) fou is recognized as FXO now. Doesn't seem like TL-ogs to me. Relates because everyone is screaming about EG just throwing money at stuff. Basically everyone loves to hate EG for no fucking reason.
3) i don't know wtf your talking about
4) Yes they probably did. I don't doubt that. I could careless how much they paid him. This is my point. No one should care. Contracts expire. Players move to other teams. Part of life. "Change" suppose to be good fyi.

The difference is that FXO isn't gunning after established talent to shore up their lineup. FXO is literally injecting esports with tons of money. With 3 teams sponsored by FXO, plus the team house, plus tournaments, FXO is powering esports up.

The way i see it, EG has basically 3 players right now, 2 of which they just bought out and 1 that has been doing comparatively shitty recently and has a fairly bad attitude. Practically none of EG have been producing high-end results for a long time. The solution to that is not to work on the players they have, but to buy talent from other teams. The NA house is basically an afterthought at this point. I highly doubt that the rest of EG matters to alex until they start producing big results. My guess is that that is also why Incontrol stopped doing SotG. He wasn't performing, he gets dropped into no-name category.

EG is just a shitty team IMO. No lineup, so they buy new talent. When that doesn't work, buy some more talent.


So what you're saying is you're mad that EG has the business oriented mindset to actually cultivate sponsors, while the overwhelming majority of other teams sit on their ass. Mad that someone is more successful? That's jealousy bro.

No foreign team has some amazing all star line up. Each team has its stars. The EG house in Korea has hardly been announced. How do we know that players like Geoff, Ben and Bryce won't be going at some later point to train? We don't.

1) Clan, not team bro. And not a cornerstone of that team.
2) fOu is not FXO. fOu is still fOu. They are just fOu-FXO for foreign tournaments I think. No one bought anyone else.
3) "So funny to see so many fanboys up set right now. FXO has been throwing around money in this scene for awhile, getting fou and running all these tournaments, making a team house etc" I'm just saying setting up a team house vs. a major player signing is not the same.
4) Change should be good. Huk will get more money. But training partners/environment will be a lot worse.
