interesting post, i can understand Liquid fan's pain of losing such a great player but I don't understand the "betrayal" that some people feel at Huk. In our every day lives if we're doing the same job we'll take higher pay over lower pay any day of the week. I could see if Liquid had offered the same money or very similar money how fans could feel betrayed but in reality they weren't in the same ballpark. Huk did a very graceful exit from liquid and left on the best terms that i have seen of any player leaving a team. I hope time will heal the pain for some fans because he should have the backing of the community for being one of the few "foreign hopes" that can actually compete and win against any korean.

I'm still a fan of team EG since Broodwar, the haters don't get to me. It's cool that liquid fans are starting to come to terms with the switch. This game gets more and more legit as time goes on, and I'm loving the direction Blizzard is pushing towards with the expansion. All of the suggestions I was throwing out early on are being considered. It's a good time for SC2.

I like both EG and Liquid, but I'm more of a fan of players than teams.

I would of cheered just as loud for HuK at Orlando if he had of still been LiquidHuK.

Great read.

"if they interviewed me, I would have said you guys deserve 80% of the credit for getting him here."
bullshit, huk is where he is because of his own work, sure you gave him the conditions, but don't take too much credit in his success.

It's very nice to see that everyone agrees on everything and is very understanding.
Alex for example understands how everyone in Liquid camp feels and has respect for that aswell.

On a personal level I didn't watch the finals cause I knew that HuK had a huge chance to win and as much as I rooted for him I felt like it's better to go to bed (finals is really late in Sweden and I've got two kids to take care of in the morning) than staying up and feel bittersweet and get tired in the morning.

I will always root for HuK and I like team EG aswell. Idra is one of my favourite players out there. But my all time favourite foregin team in wich I like all the players is and will probably always be Liquid!!!

I hope HuK Wins!

PS: He is so modest and honest, I was at MLG Orlando, too, and shook his hand and talked a bit after his victory over JulyZerg on day 1.

I had an initial moment of "OMG how could he!" when that announcement was first made... but I got over it.

♥ to Huk, ♥ to Liquid, and ♥ to HotBid for writing that, it was lovely

Exactly my thoughts. Nobody on teamliquid, even if they have been on the team a lot longer than him, has done what he did in his career. He's there because he works so hard. I am confident that he is the most hard-working foreigner out there, and not only because he's in korea practicing with his OGS teammates (because he ladders a lot).

Attributing 80% of his victory to teamliquid is like telling all the less successful foreigner players that they don't need to step up their practice schedule and work harder since it's only because of his team if he's where he is now. This is bullshit. Although teamliquid is a good team, they did not create monsters like HuK, even if they gave them the chance to do so (AKA going to korea).

That being said, I think HuK was having more fun when he was in Teamliquid and he seemed more happy. It could be just me, but that's the way I feel; I don't think he would have left if the EG's offer hadn't been significantly better than the TL's one.

Jinro.

Anyway, being in Korea has been instrumental to Huk's development. Without TL, there would be no oGs, there would be no Korea, and training with foreigners and laddering on NA can only get you so far even if you're at it 24/7.

Obviously, Alex meant 80% of what the teams have done, not 80% of the entire thing which includes HuK's own hard work. I thought that was clear...

So much emotion! You're right this is no pseudo-sport anymore. This is genuine and for you to be his friend and still a TL fan it must be hard. Great recount. 5/5
I just love video games, what's your excuse?
