Meaning, that if Liquid had a year-contract with TLA, they could have lost sponsorship a about two weeks ago. Liquid wont have enough money to sustain a healthy proteam this big and send its members to events (especially Huk, being in Korea). Remember what a few things: Show nested quote +- Mr Bitter: "As someone that knows what it is, I can assure you all, this announcement may cause internet implosion."
- Heosat: Wwhat I can say is this: it is the first item of a chain of news items. Sadly not all the items are good news. "
- Messages to TL`ers: One was a Lord of the Rings scene, where Gandalf the White saves the struggling rohanians.
- "THEY SHALL JOIN TOGETHER."
- Kennigit: "Some massive drama is going to go down in about a week which people have known for months." - EG has a LOT of money! - EG wants to expand! So, my guess is, Liquid will sell some players or even merge their team with EG.
Heosat said they had their contract renewed with them through March of next year a week ago.

We need to figure this out, this might have something to do with it. Who had that in their signature?
Also, some type of United World team joined together to finally take down the Koreans next MLG. All of them in one house under one roof. A guy can dream can't he!

If Huk signs with EG doesn't he lose his spot in the OGS house. Kinda feel like he will lose the edge he's gotten if he moves out of the house where all the best players are. He most definitely will move out, there is absolutely no way liquid is going to let huk stay there after he ditches their team. From the responses from liquid staff so far whatever this bad news may be they certainly dont seem happy about it. Also someone said earlier that puma was still staying at the TSL house and training with them but this is untrue as far as i know the only thing puma said is that he will remain friends with the members of TSL and will still practice with some of them (trust me though i guarantee this doesnt mean inhouse practice it is most certainly online) and i could see the TSL members just being polite with him out of courtesy but then not actually practicing with him alot , he was fairly disloyal to that team. Huk will be in the same boat, he will lose his spot in the house that made him great in the first place. It absolutely sucks that TL can provide so much in terms of practice environment to make a player like huk great, and as soon as he starts showing results he leaves for another team. Pretty shitty in my eyes. Wow the oGs house isn't exactly team liquid's house. If he does go to EG, oGs may keep him there if they wish and if he doesn't have any plans of moving out. This is only IF he does go to EG.
It's not oGs-TL for nothing.

I think its a Huk vs Idra showmatch just like they hyped jinro vs idra in clash of the titans

fuck me... EG is ruthless....

Really....theres 2 good foreigner players that can go toe to toe with the best...HuK and Idra? How is that an unfair comment? My view on best teams, the teams with the best players who can compete at highest level. EG have Idra, TL have HuK?
Dignitas have Naniwa, SeleCT and SjoW - all taking games of Korea based players at almost every single event they are playing. But yeah I guess you only have need to have 1 strong player to be the best foreign team (EG), don't you? Argh, another person who fails to read, IN MY VIEW i said, they have to be able to beat koreans, Idra was Code S then he left to join up with the revolution at EG. HuK is in Code S and doesnt look like he is in any form of dropping out this season. Naniwa? Wow he did well in code A didnt he, losing to a Zerg of poor form in Check? Sjow, yeah he did awesome @ MLG taking 1 game off a korean lol makes him awesome. SeleCT yeah he is very good going 1-4 in his MLG group. Then the Champ Bracket, well Sjow beat Haypro 2-1 then Lost 2-0 to HuK? Then Seelct beat whitera 2-1 and Lost 2-1 to Slush? Naniwa beat idra with 2 1base all ins (Idra was clearly off form all weekend) and yet he still made it 2-1. Then got destroyed 2-0 by MMA? So if you want to play fact game we can. Other than that it was my view that Idra and HuK are the best 2 foreigners and there teams are considered the strongest 1s because of it. Lol you didn't say anything about "YOUR VIEW" in your post. And your game knowledge is about as good as my moms with your little story about dignitas players. Can't take you seriously. Your kidding right? Dude im from England, Dignitas is the only pro gaming team from ENGLAND, they are my home team if you like. I know more about Dignitas than you probably do, just because Naniwa plays for them. I know more about the rest of Dignitas, as i followed there FIFA team for years. You mentioned they "recently" took games off Koreans , and i just told you there "Recent" results. So...Little knowledge or recent facts whatever you think Define recent results? Like MLG Dallas? Coloumbus? Homstory cup, Blizz invite thingy or just MLG Anaheim and Code A? I can't really tell, because you are hating on Naniwa, SeleCT and SjoW for their results the last month (select even won Blizz NA yesterday) when they still have far better results against both koreans and foreigners than a team like EG and Naniwa has been fighting about the best foreigner "spot" with HuK all summer but you are still making it look like his shit. And on top of all that you are defending IdrA with that he lost to all-ins and he was "clearly off from all weekend" like if that would matter. And you are also using IdrA's old Code S spot to define how good he is and how that would make him the best foreigner? That was in freaking February dude. Recent results are Recently, i addressed SeleCTs recent win in NA BNet Invitational, Naniwa's MLG and Code A vs HuKs Code S MLG and Idra's. Saying Naniwa is better than Idra is completely wrong. Every caster seems to think Idra is the probably the best foriegner and has been for a long time. (Day9 recent quote from NA Bnet Invitational) Not going into no stupid argument over who is better and who is best. You have your opinion i have mine. But this started because your saying my facts are wrong and that you dont agree wtih my view on what makes a good team in a 1v1 game. So i suggest we leave it. And saying i know nothing about Dignitas would be like me saying you know nothing about SKGaming dude. Bitch please. Idra hasn't done anything relevant in the past 6 months. IPL Season 4, top foreigner at MLG Columbus, 3rd at Dreamhack Summer, 1st at WCG USA 2011, 2nd at Tactic 3D Online Tourney. Won the Majority of his Clan War matches in the last 4 months... yea he's done nothing in the last 6 months. The fact that the only 1st place you could mention is the American WCG qualifiers speaks for itself.
Not many people have more than one 1st place in the big competitions... Jesus.

oh god, stop about the eg+liquid merging. That would be like combat-ex joining TLAF.

Don't remember. We could be overthinking, though.

That could happen but i doubt it, if it was so easy to do that then more teams would have done it. Liquid still pays some of the bills for the place too, they just dont get to live there for free, and im sure liquid will have a say on weather huk stays there or not, and since none of the Liquid staff seem to happy about this news i doubt they would let him keep all of the benifits of being on TL without actually being on the team.

Don't think its huk joining EG, no way. It might be some merge/house etc, but not just the transfer.

You haven't read the last 140 pages or so have you?

I want to thank EG for all of this. It's early in the morning and I haven't slept in a while, but I've still managed to get excited just by reading Reddit and everyone guessing as to what the announcement is.
If it is Huk going to EG, I wish him the best of luck. Hopefully he has fun with the salary and continues to enjoy the game.

My guess is that EG and TL have some sort of partnership happening. Although I am very curious.
BTW: anyone with an account can go ahead and post in here saying they're "in the loop" or they found out what it was. it's all bs imo

If its really EGHuk why wouldnt Teamliquid spoiler the annoucement? Your best player gets signed by another team and as a thank you, your loss becomes a huge Promotion? Nazgul is a classy guy but why would he play along if he lost a great player he invested alot in?
This makes no sense.
