They hardly generated any hype. They simply put up a counter that unlocks audio files every now and again.

They never once even mentioned it.

The COMMUNITY generated the hype for them.


they created an incredibly elaborate and mysterious scheme that worked because of the mystery. the hype grew exponentially as the community became more and more interested, but its not like that wasn't their plan.

Regardless, would be bad career path and he would lose fans.


Making more money definitly would be a bad career move.


Obviously



Practicing with incontrol, idra, machine, lzgamer ? Yeah....that is a huge career blunder, there is a reason none of those boys can preform. The only thing idra has won since leaving korea is IPL season 1, and that was like the first month back. Now he is horrible and so will anyone who joins that team.


Not really an idra fan but it is a quite a bit of an overstatement to call him horrible. He consistently places high in everything he enters. Also he would have puma and presumably other new people, if that is what this announcement is at all.

The iS stuff is just a bad troll attempt because someone mentioned it earlier. Few minutes after that they tweeted it. Clearly, they are scanning this thread and act accordingly.

Not just any kind of 'advertising' generates hype.
This type of 'advertising' does generate hype. Infact, it generates the best kind of hype, because it fuels thread like this, full of stupid people like you.

I wish I could make you understand how stupid your statement is.

Guys, its "sell out" if liquid sold huk to another team which is not case in sc2 pro scene because things dont work like that.


If buy "thats not how the SC2 pro scene works" you mean that players aren't transfered with transfer payments then your wrong.

EG payed a transfer payment to mym(i think) for demuslim. If HuKs contract is up then no payment would be needed as there is no contract holding HuK to liquid but if he is still under contract then EG will have to pay Liquid for him


EG paid mTw, but yes, that is infact how the professional gaming transfers happen, and so they have for the past almost 10 years now.

At this point only a Coca Cola sponsored winner's style proleague would suffice.

So they tricked the community to generate hype for them... for free?


Yes, and that is the irony of it.


I don't think there's anything ironic about viral marketing. People have been doing this for ages. I've worked on ad campaigns that start with cryptic shit posted on billboards/tv ads/etc.

It's a really good way to generate interest in something. The payoff just has to be worth it, virally teasing a larger bottle of dish soap is just gonna piss people off

I already am.

But I will become a Huk hater. I just pray that it doesn't come to that.


That's really sad.



A sellout is a sellout. Plain and simple.


A professional gamer moving to a new team once his contract is up is not "selling out".

The term "sellout" is used for artists who sacrifice their artistic integrity in order to appeal to larger audiences.

Using it in this context is absolutely juvenile. And by "juvenile", I mean that you appear to be about 12 years old, and treat Team Liquid as some sort of league of superheroes, instead of the professional gaming team that it is.


Very true statement.

If, for example, Peyton Manning were traded/resigned to say the Dolphins for way more money (for god knows what reason), people wouldn't be like OMG what a sellout fuck him!!! They'd just see it as "Wow, sucks for the colts but good for him he's making way more money."


Yet the world called lebron james a sellout for signing with the miami heat...


Well, it was just the United States, don't be ignorant now

I know Victoria was concerned with Gary Ablett Jr signing on with the Gold Coast Suns.

It depends. This kind of hype is incredibly effective until the announcement hits. If the community responds well, huge success at low cost. It can backfire horribly though. If everyone feels like they got jerked around for a nothing announcement it's terrible PR.
