This is a joke at the expense of valve and Tf2 with the hats, it's unlikely to be related.

Don't know why you're defending the Huk to EG theory so vigorously when you know as little as we do.

I really hope HuK isn't joining EG, although that is exactly what it seems like will happen. I like HuK mostly from his results and his current team. I haven't been a member here for long but I've lurked four 3-4 years. I really dislike EG for a lot of the shit they've pulled.

On top of that, I think it was mentioned that MC doesnt live in the team house anymore. So Huk is not sitting next to MC anymore.

Then at least Inca and Hero, which is better than no one and probably far better since they're both good players.

Hes not going to beable to stay with the OGS house if hes not on liquid.
Basically the way i see it , is if this is true, he gave up improving his skill with some of the best players in the world for more money.
i dont think EG is very smart to keep pulling players formm their environments that made them good players in the first place. (puma and now huk) I think that we will see a sharp decline in skill in the coming months if this is true, and for puma i dont think he will post anything impressive at any other tournaments with koreans involved, Training in a korean progaming house > Training on your own, every time.

That's all there is to it.

It will be alot harder to practice with them. As a start, if he moves out of the house, he can't simply walk over to MC and ask for a game. He wouldn't be able to talk to them whenever he wanted to. Secondly, they'd be on different teams so I doubt they'd show each other the sort of buildorders that they would have normally.

This is fucking depressing. While I was reading through OP who mentioned Egypt stuff I wanted to make king ansadi joke, I was smiling. Then I read rumours about HuK going to EG, then I read Heosat's "What I can say is this: it is the first item of a chain of news items. Sadly not all the items are good news. ". Now I'm sad. Is it now certain that HuK indeed goes to EG?
Is there any other reason other than money for HuK to join EG? And why the hell would EG want to buy him anyway? It would have to be pretty large sum of money (not saying it's the mentioned 6 figure) to persuade him to go to the pretty much most hated team out there and thus lose majority of his fanbase.

Could you cite a source? I havent heard anywhere that MC doesnt live in the OGS house anymore.
Wouldnt matter that much anyways though , Nada lives on his own as well but still frequents the OGS house to train. The only real difference is where you sleep and i dont think weather huk sleeps next to OGSMC is a factor for his skill.

TeamLiquid will join the EG teamhouse. WhiteRa is probably also joining the house.With this teamhouse the non-korean teams are trying to make a fist against the koreans.

100+ pages of trolling, speculation and rumours and you managed to say the stupidest and rudest thing of them all. congrats : )
