This wins best thread of the month.

All we really have from EG are the 2 audio clips apparently referencing 2 separate SC2 players - Huk and White-Ra. We also know that there is a gap in the GSTL left by fOu merging with FXOpen.

I am a big fan of Occum's Razor, which states that until we can trade explanation for simplicity, we must tend towards the more simplistic explanation.

I think EG is sponsoring a team of very solid foreign players to fill the hole in the GSTL. The GSL is clearly open to this, based on the recent acceptance of FXOpen into the GSTL. Since the Korean scene is the epitome of eSports, it would make sense that both EG and the named players would want to compete there.

This could also be an announcement of some sort of miniature tournament between foreigners. Based on the text on the background of the countdown, it seems to suggest that White-Ra and IdrA will play a showmatch (according to the OP) and if the first mp3 is actually referring to Huk, we may see a series of games between IdrA and 5 other respected foreign players.

A third possibility, and in my opinion the least likely possibility, revolves around some sort of trade or acquisition of new players. Most of the discussion thus far has revolved around Huk. This possibility is supported in a small way by comments made those who apparently know what the news is. We also have IdrA's recent tweet: @idrajit Greg Fields it was fun


TL;DR
We have no idea what the news is, and we probably won't until someone leaks it or the countdown finishes.

Why would EG hype up IdrA leaving? And put a countdown timer for it? They would announce it straight up, as it doesn't help their publicity. At all.

It wouldn't make sense, that can't be the announcement. Surely IdrA is trolling.
