(pic if you think im trolling: http://i.imgur.com/owQQn.jpg)

maybe the massage i recived from EG.lectR can clear something ?

i never got to watch the lord of the rings, so maybe someone who did watched it can come up with something ?

Also @Aocowns recived a massage that i think is related to my massage, it goes like this:

THEY SHALL NEVER FORGET.#@))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

any thoughts ?

I don't know if it has been said, but at the end of the Helm's deep charge, Gandalf appears (along with Rohirrims horseriders).

Gandalf is also known as "the White magician" after he came back from Khazad-Dûm.

"White"

See ?

they are obviously creating obscure content to be spread to hype up the hype. This is going to have nothing to do with the announcement. It's a .. interesting.. PR move? Meh, I kinda like it. It's a bit funny and a bit entertaining.

oh and eg.lectr got temp banned by kennigit for spamming this to so many people.. rofl.

Joining together.... hmmm I like the white ra theory, that would be pretty awesome. Another possibility is EG and TSL joining together..

I agree.

These countdowns are getting pretty old at this point. I personally would rather they just wait until they're ready to reveal and post it in the usual forums (reddit, tl, etc) like everyone else, rather than trying to hype up things that have rarely (though not never) lived up to expectations. Seems like an attempt to make a mountain out of a molehill, hopefully I'm left eating my words.

Quoting myself for reference, posted this earlier today and heard back from EG.lectR as well.

I heard:

"YOU SHALL NOT BE DISAPPOINT.
@#_$@) GKKKK"
Screenshot of msg for varification + Show Spoiler +

Got this response pretty early today, before other hints were PM'ed to people and then relayed on this thread. (or at least I didn't see anything here prior)

This is fun, but lectR's starting this hinting business is building it up to potentially end up as a flop announcement. I, however, will give him my faith and believe that 'I shall not be disappoint.'

I know that around 1:38 ish of that video he says something along the lines of " Look to the east for reinforcements" or something to that nature. Maybe EG is adding a few people from the "east" of the esports world ( I was always confused about this, does this mean europe or SK or....can someone fill me in?). With EG being in a tough state right now with the puma aquisition causing alot of flak and idra underperforming, maybe the addition of one of these eastern players will be like the reenforcements from gondor lead by gandalf, raising the moral and image of EG ( see the end of the video for this part).

That's hilarious that EG.Lectr got banned, hahahahaha. He is obviously legit.

I dunno -- I think stuff like this is fun. If it's overused, they'll get a ton of shit for it, so why not enjoy it while it lasts?

yeah something with white-ra makes a lot of sense.. they probably wanted to wait on announcement not to spoil IPL s2 final?

well it's pretty obvious at this point that there are going to be acquisitions for EG, the question is who...

also, it could happen to do with a tournament?

On http://myeg.net/unknown/ there seems to have some hints on the backgrounds. First, it seems to be written : two face...two face... two face... Second, it's written something like : GG!!! will! (although im very incertain with the will it could be so many thing but the countdown is hiding some of it).

So my guess is that two people will join EG. Two hours ago, I heard wolf saying that it could be huk or Sase on HappyZerg stream???

i agree

imo even if these stuff are not related at all to the announcement, i find these stuff really fun and entertaining :D

im hyped, but i will not hate or complain if the announcement will not be such "overwhelming" as some people expect it to be.
as for now, im very entertained ;P

If you think about it, EGHuk makes more and more sense.
First IdrA shakes his hand.
Then this video calling for "Reinforcements from the East" - guess where HuK was for the last few months
And then there is this reddit thread where "not all announcements are good" for Liquid.

I hope I'm wrong.

MUAHAHAHAH I LOVE THIS! GO FOR THE MOTHER FUCKING SHOWMANSHIP EG I LOVE YOUR ANNOUNCING POWER! Oh, sorry, caps lock... er... I really do love the suspense... I'm a suspense junkie after all... people just need to cool their jets about the "Just fucking tell us because your announcements are overhyped" bullshit... Let them announce however they want to announce... I for one find it to be invigorating!

Every team is starting to use the same marketing strategy, mystery this and that. Come on, EG. TL just does one and you're following the trend too? Try something fresher next time..

I'm disappointed I didn't get a PM from EG.Lectr

I'm really curious as to see what this announcement is. Seriously, Mr. Bitter, my $1,000,000 esports dollars offer is still on the table.

Can't tell if it's been posted or not (but nobody's quoting/discussing it), but here's the full background image.

Things that the background say:
-the face of the light
-GG... I WILL NOT
-ONE GAME JUST ONE MORE GAME
-for the fans
-two face

To me it is a pretty strong suggestion that they will be adding a new player. Specifically Destiny.
You might ask why. Well, watch this video:
