But Blizzard would get backlash for giving EG exclusivity or some shit.

This reminds me of the teaser Blizzard pulled off in 2008... which ended up in the announcement of Diablo 3. 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

If this was player related...
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

I saw what you did thar!

Whats with all the 'iS' in the OP?

OK, suppose it's HuK signing for EG. Why should we be so excited? Huk changes his shirt for us and not too much else. He stays in Korea anyway ...

Clearly idra has impregnated his girlfriend.

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.

Wasn't there something about White-Ra and Egyptian stuff before? I'm just gonna randomly throw this out there, but i'm gonna say EG.Nal-Ra. Probably wrong but they do both have -Ra in their name.
Oh, and he is also a protoss (in bw), so he fits that criteria.

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.

Can someone recap a 3rd and 4th audio file findings. I know about evil genius game trailer being 5th and 3rd is all about bunkers. I was up to date 150 pages ago then I went to sleep, no time to read all the remaining pages before work.

Someone sent White-Ra a message asking him if he was going to join EG earlier this morning when he was streaming. White-Ra replied: "Why "
I'm guessing it's him.
