Anything short of EGHuk or EGTL merger would surely disappoint. Fuck. I slept at 0100 KST (on TL clock) at 90/100ish pages. I thought, well how much further could this go, I'll just catch up in the morning. Then I wake up 1100 KST and WTF 390ish pages already. There are some good Indiana Jones encrypt/decrypt mystery stuff between 60-90. I think it is the most legitimate proof we have regarding the announcement. It leads to EGHuk or EGWhiteRa, although fortunately Ra was streaming then, and categorically denied transferring to another team. So is it EGHuk? Go to those pages guys. I don't think it's just a pickup by EG. I think, at minimum, there's going to be *some* show match announced. I have a feeling it'll be @ Blizzcon. There's also likely something about EG's further plans, as well. Realize, they spent some money on this. This takes planning and at least a little money (not a huge amount, but some). They wouldn't do this for something minor. This isn't InControl talking on State of the Game each week. They put thought & money into this. | ||

And when you put it into perspective, what does 'bunker' mean? Now I'll watch the mind blowing unfold. | ||

Eg poaching a player from the most beloved team in esports is really sad news and a countdown clock wouldnt be appropriate, if anything if that was the news they should be discrete about it and just have a humble press release about it, nothing more. I really dont think they are that stupid though, hopefully its something exciting that wont piss off the community, but judging fromm the responses of some people in the "know" its something that people will be upset about, so it makes me think that EG is just poaching huk. | ||

Yes, much like how the LiquidHerO announcement was blown out of proportion. | ||

Either, EG is straight up buying TL or it has nothing to do with TL. | ||

I put, "advanced skills training egypt starcraft" into Google (referencing the 2nd audio file) and, no joke, http://starcraft2howto.com/protoss/protoss-guide/ was the top result. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromanagement_(gameplay) is the 3rd result. It probably doesn't mean much, but it is sort of odd. And when you look at the google results "e.g" (meaning 'example') is bolded...*cracks open another beer* | ||

I dont think that was blown to far out of proportion , there wasnt a countdown clock, and it was just a guessing game competition. This , with the countdown clock and the cryptic messages and all the hints, if its just EG stealing huk from TL then thats super dissapointing. The thing with hero is that its not news that would upset anyone, hes still essentially apart of OGS since in korea OGS and TL are nearly the same team, he will just be reperesenting TL in the foreign scene. It would be really sad, if after all TL has done for huk to help him improve , he decides to go to another team for more money and ditch the team that helped make him great. That would be really infuriating, and unless EG is planning on pulling out all the stops and buying a teamhouse in korea and recruiting more koreans for huk to train with, his skill will certainly decline, anything short of something similair to the OGS house in terms of training environment would be certainly detrimental to huks skill. It would be easy to see him underperform from here on out if that were the case. | ||

I will refrain from posting wild speculations but wow this is a very intriguing detail indeed. So there might be some external factor (probably related to korea) that prevents EG from disclosing the information before this particular date? edit: oh so it's 01:00 nvm | ||

I thought everyone was just having a pretty good time trolling.. minus your occasional "serious business" dood here and there. I've had a great time reading these trollposts. Some of you are really fucking clever. | ||
