There is no reason for that to happen tho. Think of it, EgIdra hates huk and huk hates idra. Huk is in korea with Liquid/ogs in code S. He just got into code S a few months ago why would he leave. For people saying Idra huk trade there is no reason for that either, IdrA is doing well for Eg and huk for liquid so why would they put that on the line? It just makes no sense for them to get Huk.

Dude, I and along with 110,000 other people boo'd the shit outta every damn team that walked into Beaver Stadium to play against Penn State. Why? Because when they are going out there against my team, I fucking hate them. Seriously man, you just don't understand sports.
Then grow up. Not supporting another state/college/cities team is one thing, but to attack ONE individual is completely wrong. YOu are comparing a full 11-30 player team (whatever the roster may be) to a single person who is sponsored BY a team. Two totally different things. And sports aren't all about hating the other team you ingorant tard. It's about the competition, training to beat other teams. Not fans hating fans of the opposition. Such a skewed hipster view on the world you have.

Team games have a very different aspect, especially when that team is representing a city. Yeah lets compare esports crowds to golf, tennis and poker crowds... Seriously you are comparing rich white man games to esports? An esports crowd is much closer to a football crowd than a golf one.
Poker is a 'rich white man' game? It's not about the makeup of the crowd, it's about the style of competition and the home town team effect. Many people watch team sports solely because they root for their hometown team. Many people watch Starcraft because they love the game no matter who is playing.

Not trying to say that my opinion is the be all, end all, but I feel like a lot more people are with me rather than against me on this fact. Never boo any player. +1 internetz. Cmon people, respect the players decisions. If this is true and Huk signs with EG it's for a reason. More money maybe? All you hipster dudes and your "Awww they went mainstream so I don't like them anymore" attitudes need to grow the F up and be happy that your fav player/team is doing better and succeeding. 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. Not booing anyone and respecting everyone's decisions is utopian in my opinion. Everyone wants it cos "it'll further the growth of esports and sportsmanship and support is the most important thing yaaaay". But reality is, there will always be fanboys. Embrace it. That's ridiculous. I don't want people to be booed, not because it will further the growth of esports and blah blah blah, but because these are real fucking people who are just trying to do what is best for them and their career. An example of the average football fan is not going to get you very far.
But that's my point exactly. As much as I don't like booing (especially when people take conversions and penalty goals - rugby example) the fact is it will happen. People expect the average Starcraft fan to be leaps and bounds ahead of the average football fan but if you take a real close look you'll see that there's plenty of BM everywhere. Trying to squash it will not help your cause of eSports being treated as legitimately as regular sport.

Huk doesn't deserve to have a mystery website like this if he join EG. Or even anyone in the world. PPl need to grow up.....

Well the fact that u stated that Idra hates huk and huk hates idra is a point u cant prove in any way as u dont know them in real life and how they feel about each other as a person but i mean they shook hands in the NA invitational...

I don't deny that, but I think for the vast majority of SC2 fans it will not impact their opinion of a player or the decision to cheer that player at live events.

Hahaha ok dude when did I ever say I was attacking an individual? You think boo'ing is an attack? Seriously, if people can't handle the boos, then they aren't gonna make it far in life.
Being a fan of your team means you support your team, you protect your teams honor, and guess what, when my team is on the field, I'm gonna boo the opposition, because they are trying to keep my team from winning, and I don't like that. Its not a hipster view, its a diehard fan view.

You are right. There's seemingly something much bigger. There's no point focusing only on 1 probable player transfer.

If someone painstakingly thinks EG steals players, that's on them. Sponsors want exposure and EG gets them that. To stretch that all the way to EG hurting esports is well, a stretch.

Fucking insane that you would say the average sports fans' view is "hipster" when you're the one pretending it's immature to do something that is done in almost every single sports stadium on a regular basis.

I'm with you on this one. I just think that as a professional in anything that is a competition that you should understand that people are rooting for you or against you. If booing someone "hurts their feelings", and affecting the way they play and live their life, then it might be them that needs to grow up. Wish we lived in England we'd be good soccer hooligans...
