Don't know if EG can deliver quite like that, especially with a more elaborate teaser. W/e it is though, all of this has been a masterfully planned event, major props to the designer of this teaser. I await the news in T-minus 9 hours and 34 minutes  | ||

EG.MC, that'd be pretty controversial. Or another TSL player Or a current korean BW Pro going to sc2 I don't really see how Huk going to EG would really live up to the hype Anything is possible of course, which means EG is potentially gonna disappoint a lot of people | ||

Ayfkm? They put a countdown on their site. They made it cryptic as fuck with random phrases that come up every 12 hours. They have sound bites that are cryptic as fuck that come up every 12 hours. They have half the prominent community members on it. Everyone of them says it will be huge. Last but not least, a thread with wild accusations and whatnot, but no sight of TL moderation or denial. | ||

Oh, and he is also a protoss (in bw), so he fits that criteria. | ||

With MC getting destroyed in Code S I feel like a Protoss hero has fallen from grace. We need a new hope to lead us to greatness. Bisu can be that hope. He'll be our shining star showing us the way in this dark world of one base Terran all-ins. EG.Flash would show us that Terran is far more powerful than any of us mere mortals have ever realized. That would be scary, but amazing at the same time. A monster would be born. He would destroy our world. He would turn this game upside down and relentlessly dominate everyone. I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES You guys must be delusional to even entertain the notion that this has anything to do with the two biggest BW players... The last thing in the world top BW players would do would be to quit and join a nonkorean sc2 team...wtf... BW players are completely isolated from foreigners at this point, they probably would be surprised to even hear theres nonkorean teams doing anything in sc2 unless they are actively following the sc2 scene which I doubt. So yea, top players in a game (bw) which doesn't even have foreign teams on the radar anymore making hundreds of thousands of $$ a year suddenly leave that all and join a foreigner sc2 team for probably 1/10th the money... keep dreaming. If bisu/flash ever do jump to sc2, either it will be when kespa weasels their way into the korean sc2 and takes it over or gom will be all over it with a show like the Yellow one and theyd probably have one of the big BW teams transfer over with them or at the very least sign on with Incredible Miracle or something. It wouldn't be announced on some silly eg viral site, it'd be the biggest news in sc2 and coming straight from GOM or Kespa(if they manage to switch to sc2 at some point). They wouldn't just randomly join a foreign team, and without even a whisper of hype from the korean scene beforehand. | ||

Yeah, Flash, Bisu, Jaedong, Stork will be the last people to switch to SC2. Even a genius as Flash would need at least 4-5 months to catch up with current SC2 pros. | ||
