What if all the foreigner teams were going to participate in GSTL? It'd explain why so many people know about the accouncement.

Why? LR threads would increase exponentially in quality, is an example of a plus.


I'd rather all the Idra haters get a terminal disease than Idra retire...


idra fanboys are cute

Thanks <3 Idra haters are cuter though

Sad when the typical response on the internet to any sort of criticism is just to call someone a hater and ignore anything they say. It's devolved into such a meaningless word.


It's just shorthand for people who whine and cry and call players bad because they don't happen to like them. Lots and lots of people do like Idra.. his play, his personality, that sexy body.

Except most people aren't calling Idra bad. Just nothing exceptional at this point, overhyped by fans(which is completely true).


That's what FANS do though, talk up the players they like. Non-fans (aka haters) talk DOWN the players they don't like. Get it now?

Oh is that what they do? I thought they'd rather tons of people have a terminal illnesses than have their favorite player retire.


I don't really see your point. I didn't call other players bad, I just said I'd personally rather see the haters get terminal illnesses rather than see Idra retire. /shrug

Trolling, or one of the most horrible people imaginable.

I think IdrA race change could make a lot of sense. It's a big deal and it would upset many people. It'd also explain why he's pulling out of IEM.


Not like it would make a difference. Within a week there'd be bitching about 1/1/1's and roach/ling all-ins, and endless threads about how Protoss is broken because you can't scout effectively because observers have too little HP, aren't cloaked well enough and are too slow.


Lol, you do realize half the stuff he says are just emotional anger towards losing right? Like I said earlier, most people at some point in their SC/SC2 careers have been annoyed about something and called it bullshit or imbalance. It is just emotion, Greg just shows more than other people in tournament settings.

Well yeah everyone gets pissed at times and vents at something, publically or not. The difference is Idra really does believe these things. Latest example being blink stalkers. He genuinely seems to believe you can't beat them, and consequently he falls apart anytime decent uses them on him.


who are you and why do we care what you have to say again? you have clearly expressed your opinion over the last 100 pages and the internet still disagrees/doesnt like you. you can stop posting now.

Who are you and why do we care what you have to say again?

It's a forum - if you're not interested in other peoples opinions you shouldn't be on it.

I think it's pretty obvious by now that idra proposed to his girlfriend, who turned him down. idra then went mad with rage and concluded that the only way this could happen, was because the ring he proposed with was made in North Korea and was evil, so he has to destroy it. But it can only be undone in the fires of Mordor, the evil land overshadowing Minas Tirith, which is Seoul and thus Mordor will be North Korea. idra takes Huk to act as his Sam, and White-Ra is akin to Gandalf the White, coming from east, where the sun rises, and he is there to help.

But what role do Evil Geniuses play? Well, they keep showing us snippets of what is unraveling all along us, as if they had a Palantír, and by that, we know that they are alike Saruman, a wizard once so great, but now in his folly allied with Sauron (Kim Jong Il). So arrogant have they become, that they show us the hour of their evil plan because they believe not that they can lose, becuase Kim Jong Il sees all and knows all. He knows that idra, should he ever reach the fires of Pyongyang, will tremble and gg just before he casts the ring into the fire, just as he does when he is winning a StarCraft match and just as Frodo did.

And so we await the oncoming war and the new Age. We can only hope that there will be a Gollum somewhere along their journey, lest despair and the forces of darkness prevail.

Sheesh, 270 pages and you still didn't figure it out yourself. The signs are there in plain sight, you know.

O.o SPecial Tactics Squadron. For those who dont know the second sound set is up.
Idra switching race seems like it could happen, he hasnt been streaming for a while. EG is defenatly not going to Korea they just bought a team house. It would of been stupid to buy a house if you plan to leave a month later.

Actually, this guy is right.

all their recent pickups are Tourny winners. Destiny, while good, has not placed high in a major tournament( iirc). I think destiny is using this to get more viewers(like that one thing that no one is talking about now? )


Destiny is only second to Spanishiwa when it comes to best Zergs in the world. EG picking him up seems logical.


LOL! Since when are Destiny and Spanishiwa better than Nestea?

Who the hell is Nestea? I've never seen him play at MLG or IPL.


If he doesn't even play in the big tournaments, he can't be that good in that first place.


You are a galavanting idiot. Here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Nestea#Achievements


Some amateur leagues over in Korea? One tournament 3 times...go check out Naniwas page...tons of 1st places.


Lol man! he won more prize money then every pro sc2 player, only MC is even near!

For instance idra won 10 times less money then nestea! don't talk about what you don't know..

The longer we go without more clues from EG the more hilariously stupid the theories get. I hope it's not just Huk to EG that everyone figured out at the start, though. That would be disappointing.

That would explain a lot.


^^ this sounds like the best idea IMO, even if it's not the most accurate. feasible and fun to watch.

#37.492022 #126.725214 - Map location, city in South Korea, just north of Incheon
255-255-0 - RGB representation of the color Yellow

The coordinates fit my earlier theory that a team is forming to fill the empty slot in the GSTL.

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.


As for the color yellow, it would fit with the clues revolving around the egunknown@hushmail Email account.
