Did I say it had anything to do with EG?

Their "unknown" page is truly bizarre and perplexing.


Heosat hinting that Huk leaving has nothing to do with EG...

Yeah, the previously suggested oGsHuK sounds more plausible imo. That still leaves the question of what the hell is EG announcing.


Agree, I personally think it will is much more likely to see oGsHuk than anything else.


Yeah imagine if he joined up with OGS? He would have the opportunity to live in their team house, train with the players and maybe even play in the GSTL for them. It does sound like the most reasonable option

It's real, you guys figured it out a while ago but EG kept putting out clues to try and misdirect you, because you guys figured it out so quickly. They wanted to continue building the hype, and it looks like it succeeded.

This hype was a brilliant strategical move by EG. Knowing their announcement would be controversial what better way to soften the blow than to slowly leak hints to the announcement allowing the community to slowly flesh out reasons for everything and give time for people to understand and accept the changes coming. Instead of just dropping the bombshell of huk leaving liquid to join EG for more $$$ (which would almost certainly cause a huge uproar) they will avoid a lot of that with this plan they've unfolded. Kudos to you, Evil Geniuses.


This is a commonly used tactic in public relations. This is called, wait for it, leaking it to the press. Most leaks happen for this reason, not because someone was loose-lipped.

Based off of what?

To be honest, just a hunch, given the already solid relationship between oGs and TL, and the fact that half of Liquid hates EG.

I'm not claiming to know anything or that I know something, just that oGsHuk makes more sense to me than EGHuk

Huk to OGS full time could happen, though afaik foreign teams are better founded at this point so highjacking the most popular foreigner of the moment doesnt look like that likely to happen, though i could see it.

Though it would be a fairly huge ass coincidence that it s happening on the same day as EG creates all the hype about something huge

I would laugh, then cry, then proceed to spam the forums and probably get banned with a few others. I sure as hell hope not

I keep seeing iS, why is S capitalized? Matter of fact there are a lot of random letters that are in caps.

* Curiously, the following script Which controls the countdown timer iS written in Polish:

* As the countdown iS based on the time of your computer clock, you can force all of the "Play" buttons to display by winding your clock forward. This accomplishes nothing though, as the MP3's have not yet been uploaded.

* It seems that EG iS intentionally extending information and then revoking it, as seen by several cryptic tweets being posted, investigated, and then deleted. (ie. A scrambled tweet was posted directing users to NatGeo Egypt, and has since been deleted.) Along with the author being removed from the javascript, and also evidenced by looking at the source code for the First MP3 File.

* When Heosat was asked to confirm/deny whether or not HuK was joining EG, he SaiD he was not at Liberty to comment. He removed this post soon after.

* Several key community figures WhO know What the announcement iS, have suggested that there will be some form of community backlash.
--- Kennigit: "Some massive drama iS going to go down in about a week Which people have known for months."
--- FXO.BoSs: "A New Protoss player iS my guess.... Maybe HuK or SaSe."
--- Mr Bitter: "As someone that knows What it iS, I can assure you all, this announcement may cause internet implosion."
--- Heosat: Wwhat I can say iS this: it iS the First item of a chain of news items. Sadly not all the items are good news. "
--- GenoZStriker: "Find the four horsemen and you'll perhaps find your Answer."


My own personal speculation iS some kind of partnership / player trade between EG and Liquid.

EDIT: Included the Johnny Cash SonG, thanks Andrew2658.


I see, S, W, O, D, and G
