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 wins best thread of the month.

All we really have from EG are the 2 audio clips apparently referencing 2 separate SC2 players - Huk and White-Ra. We also know that there is a gap in the GSTL left by fOu merging with FXOpen.

I am a big fan of Occum's Razor, which states that until we can trade explanation for simplicity, we must tend towards the more simplistic explanation.

I think EG is sponsoring a team of very solid foreign players to fill the hole in the GSTL. The GSL is clearly open to this, based on the recent acceptance of FXOpen into the GSTL. Since the Korean scene is the epitome of eSports, it would make sense that both EG and the named players would want to compete there.

This could also be an announcement of some sort of miniature tournament between foreigners. Based on the text on the background of the countdown, it seems to suggest that White-Ra and IdrA will play a showmatch (according to the OP) and if the first mp3 is actually referring to Huk, we may see a series of games between IdrA and 5 other respected foreign players.

A third possibility, and in my opinion the least likely possibility, revolves around some sort of trade or acquisition of new players. Most of the discussion thus far has revolved around Huk. This possibility is supported in a small way by comments made those who apparently know what the news is. We also have IdrA's recent tweet: @idrajit Greg Fields it was fun


TL;DR
We have no idea what the news is, and we probably won't until someone leaks it or the countdown finishes.

also it could be a huge partnership to pull this with the clues to 5 players through the audio codes since the first 3 have led off to huk white ra spanish terran (major maybe) then 2 more with idra in the new house in korea for the gstl get yellow with puma in there you got a full house and a great team

I just got it guys!!!! EG is throwing a nuclear bomb (the white-ra reference is in fact the god of the sun which lead us to the japan flag, thus the bombing of the WW2 on the second mp3) on Seoul, South Korea. Thus, they would increase their chances to win at MLG, DH and IEM. But, they are rescaping some of the foreigners (reinforcement from the east), notably HuK and maybe SaSe, also it'll be idra's revenge on MMA for the premptive GG at columbus (I will not GG).

Unfortunatly, some GOM members have built a bunker where they are going to hide during the bombing (3rd mp3), once GOM will salvage that bunker they are going to host GSL again, hence EG will need to buy a team house in seoul to complete their world dominance in the sc2 world for the fans.

The 4th and 5th mp3's is going to tell us other parts of their plan obviously.

I'm uncertain how Incontrol talking about building bunkers suggests a spanish terran?
