Because having a count down timer and hiding coded text and audio clues which release every couple of hours without any explanation isn't hyping? Bad Community Bad! | ||

I am sure HuK has been getting bombarded by the questions on facebook, twitter, etc. If I were in his shoes and it wasn't true I would have shut people up already. Its been clear that much of the administration-world is and has been aware of what is going on, and has been asked/is willing to play along. It would be really impolite to ruin someones hype - especially considering its driving interest and view counts across the board with all of the speculating. \ EG has a big announcement. Kennigit, Heosat, etc etc are seemingly aware of it, many parties are working on making the whole ordeal fun for people to sit and try to solve.. playing along is more fun than ruining everything. | ||

So there might be some external factor (probably related to korea) that prevents EG from disclosing the information before this particular date? If they picked up a Korean Pro, a contract ending @ 11:59 pm on a Tuesday isn't out of question. There's a very solid chance, even given what odd information they've given out, that it could be a SC:BW pro is joining EG. It's not Flash/Jaedong level, but maybe someone in the Top 30? They could probably snag them with a solid contract. Or it could be some show match @ Blizzcon with some switching over SC:BW pro as well, and EG is just putting it on and one of EG's sponsors is having them do it. Your guesses are as good as mine. | ||

00 00 55 25 Time to get back on track guys. Let's crack this thing up before they officially announce it. My guesses: 1. EGHuk 2. EG buys TL 3. Foreigner GSTL Team aggregated by EGTL + | ||

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. that's pretty retarded to say stuff like huk is turning his back on his team. this isn't a fuckin brotherhood or a gang or something, you're a professional player on a professional team and you weigh the value of each team's offer when the contract with your current team begins to close. what makes it a stupid decision by huk is if he joins EG and then loses all of the practice partners he had, gets worse trainingl makes a lot of money and then ends up doing terrible in 6 months after the skill he's made so sharp starts getting dull. that part i agree with regardless, the announcement might include something like EGHuk, but with all the variety in the hints, it's hard for me to just accept that EG only wants to announce one thing. i feel like they have big things planned here, to set people up 2 days in advance just to hear this one press release | ||

Yeah, the clues are very vague... it could be anything really. When Blizzard did a similar thing with diablo 3, at least people expected the announcement to be related to a new blizzard product; people actually had some bases, a starting point. In this case, I feel that we're pretty much in the dark atm. | ||

Foreigner GSTL Team aggregated by EGTL + #2 is almost impossible. A foreigner house in Korea is closer to realistic though. I have a feeling that it may be something nobody has guessed yet. This thread now looks like r/circlejerk and a LR thread had a baby. | ||
