My random thoughts:
- won't be signing a sc2 korean because all of this crap saying "if you see it, you won't believe it", and the fact that koreans are being signed left and right
- wont be HuK joining EG because having those clips from HuK games (first recording?) is so obvious, I feel like its a red herring

Supporting a BW player being signed to EG:
- idra tweeting "it was fun", which sounds to me that he is playfully alluding that a BW pro will come and rip apart SC2 ushering the new age of much better players
- fufillls the need of the announcement to be "unbelievable" if the BW player is sufficiently popular and could create the community drama that people have predicted
- 4th audioclip suggests a big name signing from the 'underground' but I think signing a BW pro would give the same idea

Supporting EG.Yellow
--- "The face of the light" = sun = yellow
--- "One more game, just one more game" = he retired, starcraft 2 is his one more game
--- "Two face, two face, two face" = because joining a foreign team?
--- "I will not GG..." - no idea
--- "For the fans" - yellow was a fan favourite
--- "This is not A" - this is not Project A?
--- "pick up a slayer or two" - some speculated that yellow would join slayers

I actually lost faith in this theory as I was writing it.. lol.
I think it has to be atleast two signings because there were many references to it being a pair or more. EG. Boxer and EG.Yellow!



The background isn't done yet. THIS IS NOT A isn't finished. Thus, kind of debunks your Project A thought.

I remember watching someones stream ... I think it was Grubbys ... he was talking to Major who said something along the lines of "he doesn't care about rank points since he isn't going back"

for some reason I JUST remembered this ... Maybe EG is making a team that will play soley in Korean events (like the GSL) while the other players on the team travel around ...

I must admit when I first saw the countdown, I didn't think that the TL thread would get 450 pages (with at least 100-200 more incoming) and r/starcraft would be overrun by it!

Well played to EG's PR manager, they hit the jackpot... If they were really clever, they would link a stream when the clock hits zero, spend one minute of ads, then announce it on stream. Think of the amount of money they'll get!!

the third audio file that seems pointless cuz its incontrol talking about the bunker, if you listen, right after he says "for 75%" there is something else being said, can't make it out but something is def. in the noise.


could the reference to the bunker have a link to Yellow? And how Yellow was surprised in his showmatch against Boxer that you could get refunded for salvaging the bunker?

hmm....



EG.Yellow son!

HOLY SHIT ITS FLASH!!!!! IdrA saying "it was fun" makes so much sense now. If Flash plays Terran in SC2 it is over. He will be so unbeatable and furthermore him changing to SC2 may convince many other top BW pros to switch. At that point no foreigner will ever stand a chance.

But far more plausible Idra's statement "it was fun" is a reference to him breaking up with his girlfriend. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
