WCSThe Official EGX-Files Thread
The wait is finally over. After several days of hype and an I Love Bees style ARG, Evil Geniuses has revealed their big news.
Evil Geniuses has acquired Chris "HuK" Loranger from Team Liquid. This highly controversial move was widely rumored to be the case, but EG isn't done there.
In addition to this bombshell of an announcement, EG is also sending Greg "IdrA" Fields back to Korea. Both of these players and perhaps more will live in a brand new EG training house in Korea.

I think that pretty much sums up everything so far... it's hard to say Which elements are red herrings and Which are substance.
My own personal speculation iS some kind of partnership / player trade between EG and Liquid.
EDIT: Included the Johnny Cash SonG, thanks Andrew2658.
