The four Horsemen ... lol, if we relate that with SotG, (the famous dialogue bout horses), the 4 would be:

Incontrol
itmeJP
Day9
Tyler

Does it make sense? No.
Do I go now to sleep? Yes.

so they have been trying to add him for a LONG time, its not just some replacement they dreamt up in the last month or two.


Yes, but this Huk -> EG deal could have been a long time in the planning too, but the announcement would've been delayed due to the Puma-> EG shitstorm

Is the countdown timer acting up for anyone else? I had it opened then it froze and when I refresh it counts down super fast.

Something I have to add .
First of all , huk reads this site.
Second then if what we are saying about he moving out of TL to go for team EG was a lie, he would say something about it.
and I miss some official words from Nazgull about anything ...

But according to some of the information from the industry folks (if valid), some of this stuff has been known for quite some time. If that's the case, then it doesn't preclude EG signing Huk, since Liquid may have started looking into replacing him when they initially found out it would be happening.

I'm not necessarily agreeing with that particular theory, but I wanted to point out that your "anti-proof" doesn't really hold up as well as you think.

Yeah a lot of people are getting different times apparently.
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

Stop acting dumb.

On topic, do we really need this announcement hype every time?

Exactly. Everyone is just having fun throwing stuff out. He is the type of person that won't get a joke when everyone is laughing, then he feigns laughter and everyone stops laughing cause everyone can tell it is fake.




No you guys are actually taking this seriously and trying to be detectives, because you are giddy with anticipation at the announcement. Funny how you play it off as just having fun and being silly, as if you realize the truth is kind of pathetic.

i believe its based off your computer clock (other people have said so earlier in the thread) so mabye it froze and now its trying to catch up?

and its no use turning your clock forward because they havnt uploaded the mp3 files to be unlocked yet.

OK I was not really taking that seriously. But while reading this thread I started thinking, what can you do

So few things to note : I think the fact that there is a separate page for the announcement is quite important. Of course it is possible to have such a page for player transfer, but I find it unlikely. Some things that are possible are inclusion/creation of new sub-team (similar to FXO Korea) with somewhat separate organizational structure, tournament, showmatch , big new sponsor. The last one is not really exclusive with the others.

The sound clues might mean 5 separate things or 1 thing in 5 parts. If it is 5 different things I see no way to guess it, so let us assume that it is 1 thing in 5 parts. Well that leaves us with series of showmatches or tournament. I find tournament unlikely, because 5*2 is not a power of 2 (why this see below).

So series of showmatches, so I would expect one showmatch per sound file = 5*2 (hard to make a bracket of 10 players that's why no tournament). Also note those decoded messages about rivalry, so maybe showmatches of rivals.

So what do we have now :
1) HuK seems pretty certain, have no idea who can be second. Idra might be a guess, but I see no hints pointing to him. HasuObs might be possibility (small rivalry because of TSL) ? Even qxc possible IEM NY 2010 ?
2) Seems like White-ra and Select. They met pretty often recently MLG, NASL, IPL and I think one more occasion.
3) I have no idea, possibly InControl, but I have no idea about any rivalry, except maybe TLO. Maybe Major ?

Of course it might be a tournament and sound files are groups of 3+ players, or I am totally off, which is most likely.

Euhm.. Solving shit can be fun. Crossword puzzles? Puzzles? Cluedo? How does solving stuff equals pathetic? Just because some people here engage in it? But hey, you are probably a bundle of joy and very confident that you are a great unscarred worthy man, seeing you need to call people on a forum pathetic.

if this is just a series of 5 showmatches... that would be such a let down :p

but with the number of high up e-sports people saying things like "major drama next week" and "lots of anouncements, not all good news" i doubt it,

Or they sliped him a few bucks to keep his mouth shut and play along so they could get a lot of hype from him being involved somehow in our minds.

I'd think it'd be worth some money to keep my head down on things.
