I honestly think LOGICALLY - Apparently HuK's leaving, but it doesn't mean he's leaving TL. He might be rotating from oGs house - Foreigner house, but I think that this is probably what will happen. HOWEVER, some of the the players in this category will not go to korea. Idra and Incontrol already said that they would not want to go to Korea, and Select is not allowed to go to Korea, because if he does he will be conscripted into the military I believe (Correct me if I'm wrong) and QXC is already in the FXO house. | ||

HuK would be a good acquisition for EG, since Axslav/Incontrol aren't really holding up EG's Protoss side of things. HuK would provide a lot of experience and a different take, letting both grow as players. Would make sense from a training perspective for EG, and I could see HuK switching for a large sum. Haypro is a bit harder to see, but let's go over this: EG, among foreign teams, has one of the best macro Zergs (Idra). Haypro is a macro Zerg, with a different perspective on the game due to training in South Korea + training with Morrow. I can also see EG wanting to expand more into Europe, due to the booming European scene. Picking up a Zerg, and training him with Idra/StrifeCro/LzGamer would give them a pretty good European representative that they could send around on the cheap. GSTL Team is a possibility, but if that were the case, why would HuK leave oGs-TL for their team? He already played for oGs, and while he might play more on a foreigner team, it's pretty unlikely he'd accept that. I'd imagine he'd rather play for oGs-TL than a foreign team. Acquiring a lot of players from different teams makes sense for EG, it's their MO in virtually every game. | ||

My god, EG and Liquid together... That'd be big. If it's just HuK going over to EG I'm gonna be a sad panda tho. Gotta be more than just that I figure though. | ||

SeleCT would be a really good pick up for EG, given his recent results and their lack of Terrans. Bringing in SeleCT, along with Puma and Demuslim would give them a pretty strong Terran line up to utilize. SeleCT would probably like to return to Korea once he's done with school in the US, and EG is one of the few teams with tons of money that could afford to house him there while he trains. HuK would be a good acquisition for EG, since Axslav/Incontrol aren't really holding up EG's Protoss side of things.

Why pickup Haypr0 who havn't gotten any good results for months. | ||

prove Koreans we aren't a joke. And we do that by creating a GSTL Team with 3 Koreans (Puma, SeleCt and TanDongHo) On August 16 2011 03:46 striderxxx wrote: If this is true, why wouldn't Nani and Thorzain be on this team too since they are already in Korea? Yet not clues reference them? Also, why would EG be the first to leak info if they only have an equal 1/7th-ish share of the team? Well, they are on Foreign teams now. That's what I meant, my bad. And why EG is making the announcement rather than the other teams? Well it seems that Dignitas is also contributing to the secrecy. Maybe Team EG wanted to do the announcement, does there have to be a specific reason as to that? As to Nani and Thorzain, that is always a possibility. Maybe the "1/2" from the Dignitas tweet refers to players being SENT to Korea. If so, then it's most likely TanDongHo, since SeleCT (ProjeCT) would be a relatively clear first choice O.o Honestly, I hope it's something big that involves a bunch of foreign teams. Because then it's sort of like a joint effort of sorts, almost every foreigner fan will cheer for them, you know what I mean? It'd be kinda cool. | ||

Yeah this makes me really nervous. He can't have not seen all the rumors flying. Though maybe he knows what's really up and doesn't want to spoil the surprise by denying the rumor about him. I hope. HUK IF YOU GO TO EG I WILL NEVER LOVE YOU AGAIN Huk seems quite preoccupied at the moment, just getting back from a tournament and having a Code S match tonight. He's probably practicing 24/7 for his Code S match at the moment. Plus, he's just big enough of a troll to let it slide. But of the possibilities so far, Huk joining EG seems to be the most supported one. | ||

Title of 1st music thingy: Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoscet (Kill them all, God will know His own). Crusades reference, in terms of the West vs Korea. First mp3 file: Huk matches, ocean sounds, obviously pointing towards HuK participating in something and something on the other side of the ocean. Title of 2nd music thingy: (There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften) -> Refers to 'grief' from fans over people leaving the NA/EU scene for a long time I'm guessing. 2nd Mp3 file: Referring to special tactics, special operations team, special training. Implies withra and at least some others. Other random stuff: Hushmail: "titans will finally move from old to new; its a new era" -> Old to new, EU/NA to KR. Titans referring to a mix of top players from several teams. Kennigit: There will be drama and backlash from community. -> If I recall correctly, this was part of a reddit post where he was talking about invite policy. Certain teams/players probably weren't invited to be part of this deal. LOTR reference: Again, if I recall correctly those PM's were sent between the 1st and the 2nd mp3 file, reference to reinforcement from the east, which is a reference to white-ra and used as build-up to the 2nd audio file. Johnny Cash reference: No clue. Dignitas twitter: Obvious reference to SeleCT as the 3rd player, much in the way they used the LOTR reference I'm guessing. I'd expect the next mp3 file to imply something about SeleCT. So yea, top-foreigner team over in korea is what I'd bet on. It would for a change be worthy of the hype. As an addition, I have a hard time believing that people like DJWheat and Incontrol would join in the celebration of 'poaching' players from other teams. That would be in extremely poor taste, and even EG PR should see that to be honest. EG is probably funding most of it, since I'm under the impression they're floating in cash and are therefore doing most of the announcing. | ||

Huk Jinro Hero Puma Naniwa Thorzain + Whomever would want to comeover. Still not sure why EG is in the center of all this though. | ||

He would have no reason to leave the oGs-TL team for some new one What if the TL-oGs partnership were to end. Now that oGs is with sk i see no reason for tl to stick around when they wont be represtented by oGs in foreign events | ||
