Every one of you would take more money to continue doing what you love.
If people want eSports to be treated legitimately you can't expect this utopian sort of behaviour. I would've boo'd Brett Favre when he played for the Vikings.

Utopian? If acting like a rational person is utopian, man I dont know.

It's not a fact and you're acting like a child if that's how you'd really behave. How am I acting like a child? Have you never booed your rivals team before? Why is it that in SC, everything has to be so well mannered? It's and e-SPORT. SPORT Don't have to be mannered. Just don't be a fuckin dick. Never have I gone to a live sporting event (3 in my lifetime) and heard booing ever even from the hardcore fat drunks who paint the logos on their hairy stomaches. And in this case, you aren't booing a TEAM you are booing an individual, a real person, one.
Are you serious? I hear people boo even their own teams/players all the time.

Not saying this is exactly the same as that, but just saying that when you have this BIG announcement, there tends to be radical responses. People hated like lebron because he acted like an asshole to his hometown team on a grand stage, not because he got people's hopes up. Cavs fans hated him for "abandoning" their team. He didn't go to Miami for the money, but there is still this sense of "he's on our team". That's why when someone very prominent signs with another team, it tends to create a backlash of some sort. Yes and that team was his hometown team that needed him to have any chance of winning anything for a long time.
Exactly, there was this sense of belonging. Now just say that Huk signs with EG (not going to jump to any conclusions), there's some parallels:
1) There's a lot of hype.
2) Huk is definintely a cornerstone of the TLAF'Liquid team. Lebron was THE MAN in Cleveland.
That's why I say there will be backlash. I mean consider this, if it was only a tournament/tourney, EG wouldn't go through all this trouble. And with Mr.Bitter and Kennigit pretty much saying there definitely will be drama, I'm inclined to believe them.

Why people are behaving like little school children about this I don't know. It's not even as good as Dan Brown. Go read the Da Vinci Code instead?
Let's go back to very basic detective work. How is EGtGun even remotely shitstorm inducing?

So EGHuK is real now or am I misunderstanding?

The reason we hate him so much is not because he left (though to be fair, he would still be hated fro that) but because he went out of his way to go onto national television to stab his hometown in the heart. It was unnecessarily cruel to do that to a city and fanbase that had supported him unconditionally during his time there. It would've been just business, but he made it personal.

I'd like to think that StarCraft crowds are more civilised than Football crowds. Seeing Cruncher getting booed was so painful, it hurt even more when Idra denied the handshake twice...

The guy didn't say he was going to go throw shit at HuK, he just said that he won't show his admiration. Which means he could still show support, or respect, just not admiration.
gais is huk liek goin to EG?!?!

I love all these announcements of announcements. Especially now that the people making the announcements have turned it into a game -
It's like an awesome treasure hunt of clues. Each move devilish than the last. What will be waiting at the end?
+ Show Spoiler +It's Huk joining EG I'm pretty sure. Husky let it slip on stream...

when is the announcement happening? Because if its tonight, day9 is doing his funday monday tonight, maybe he will make an announcement at the end?
