One of most successful TL player in SC2 leaves and you are a bigger TL fan?
Then you aren't a TL fan to begin with.

Considering the fascination value people seem to have with this thread and its contents, I believe a thread LR thread is in order.
This thread will be a live report on all the silly happenings of this thread.
So meta.

After all of about five minutes of thinking, I have a theory.
"Two face" -> This eludes to the fact that EG is recruiting not one, but two new players. It also reflects their mannerisms in that they have a history of BM. "I will not gg" -> Following up with the trend of BM, but this also relates to their undying fighting spirit and continuing to play it out until the bitter end. "For the fans" -> These two are obviously popular, and it would be difficult to find people who have not heard of them. "The face of the light" -> Their fans hold them on a higher level, to the point of seeing them as gods. "One more game, just one more game" -> These two are locked in eternal conflict. They continue to face off against each other no matter what they say.
Who am I speaking about? Calling it now... + Show Spoiler +EG.Destiny and EG.CombatEX (or CombatEG)

Destiny is a really smart move. Hes been steadily improving and most pros have positive things to say about his play 12 months after the game came out. But the biggest reason would absolutely be his ability to draw viewers. That alone is worth it IMO, he doesnt need to win anything, just provide marketing and traffic. It would truly be a brilliant move with both sides benefiting.

He doesn't like Huk, he likes TL. Huk leaves TL he likes TL more. So what?

It's going to be announced at 9AM PDT.
EG had 3 players in MLG Pool Play in Anaheim.
9x3 = 27
Deezer's GM rank as of this post is 48.
27x48 = 1296
InControL's GM rank as of this post is #79
1296/79 is 16.4
Bugatti makes the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4, in France.
EG is going to recruit cArn, a French SC2 player. isn't this a bugatti veyron? http://yfrog.com/hsuaoidjidra tweeted this pic on the 1st of August 
+ Show Spoiler +
Lol that is quite the coincidence though
Can't wait to see what this will actually be, I can't imagine it hasn't been predicted in the last 300 pages

None of this "announcement of an announcement" business. This is how you hype something.

After scouring the internet for hours looking for answers, I came across this picture. I believe it holds the answers. TLHukEG

It's probably some bw pros forming an eg house in korea. from reddit Kennigit (a TL admin) wrote a few days ago "Some massive drama is going down in about a week that people have known about for months" (http://i.imgur.com/TkCW0.png). While Huk moving from TL to EG would be big news, Kennigit's post and the huge amount of hype that is happening around the EG website suggests there is more. Doa tweeted yesterday "Let it be known that I was the first foreigner ever to play CJ Leta in SC2. That guy is pretty good btw. T.T" He also mentioned that Leta visited the GOM house personally. Broodwar is losing its viability in Korea. One of the two television channels that broadcasts Broodwar in Korea is being turned into a music video channel, and the collapse of MBC will also mean the end of the MSL, one of the two mainstays of professional Broodwar in Korea over the past decade There are rumors that EG has recently acquired a large new sponsor, this could provide them with the amount of money needed to sign top BW pros who would expect large salaries. EG leaked a password to a Hushmail account which contained an email with the text "3a44392f6e70f2f6df4ba8ede97b6b32 d209acc50756c3a9addfe5abc8f1de12dd3dce3fe93b45996707bd1569a92800" which a TL user has translated to " titans will finally move from old to new its a new era its all the work of a genius" A lot of contracts players have with their BW teams expire this month, could more BW pros be moving over to SC2 (the titans move from old to new) and possibly join EG (a genius)? http://i.imgur.com/YJugE.png
Sir Scoots and Idra have been tweeting messages recently that suggest the end of something. Idra tweeted "it was fun", and Sir Scoots responded "GG". Possibly referring to the end of Broodwar competition as more players move over to SC2.
Another motivation for BW pros to switch to SC2 could have to do with Puma. While he was a strong BroodWar player, he was far from one of the elite competitors. He switches over to SC2, and almost immediately wins a large tournament (NASL) over one of the best SC2 players in MC. He then immediately received a contract with the most lucrative progaming team outside of Korea. BW pros could see the SC2 scene as something that they could easily dominate and make a lot of money off of if Puma was able to win a major tournament after only a few months.
