Heosat "can't comment" on HuK leaving. Makes me worried, but at the same time, wouldn't they have released HuK before EG picks him up? Maybe this is something EG/TL are doing together.
On the other hand...Tyler has been very vocal against EG in the past, for weird reasons. Maybe this explains it? Maybe Tyler's buddy just got sniped off his team for money, and that pissed him off? Maybe that's why Sotg will be "fun" according to JP?

EDIT: He edited the post, you'll just have to take my word for it.

Do you see what your doing to me EG? I AM SO SKEPTICAL OF EVERYTHING NOW.

Anyways, I think that this will involve ALL of TL seeing as we have 4 mp3s left. idk they used two very random clips that involved huk, a tsl3 vod and a day9 daily. Seriously, how did people find that shit so fast? I'm still thinking clip 1 is about EG Huk and the rest will be about this EG house in Korea where Huk, Puma and said to be announced players will live.
I have absolutely no doubt that it involves huk, but I don't thing they are acquiring him. I am fairly sure that HuK is happy with TL and TL could not afford to lose HuK.

DJWheat will be casting a special tournament that will be a King of the Hill format type with EG as the default King and players will have to beat each player once to earn the prize. Or at least beat a certain quantity of players. Winner perhaps gets a spot on EG?

No they could not, he is far and away their ace player and between him and Ret Liquid is the best team. With this transfer, the balance of power shifts to Dignitas or EG.

More house details i would imagine
"face too face" - perhaps an EG invitational held at their new house or even a plan for more indepth coverage of the EG team whilst they practise face too face, along the lines of a bad reality TV show

I don't think it is Savior, I remember reading the BW section and he used to steam on affeca (I think that is what its called) but I think last Thursday was his last stream session because he had to get back to studies.

I must admit all these clues are pretty fun, I just wish there was less time between them and the announcement .

Maybe they just want to mind-fuck everyone for some epic lols?

I think this has to have something to do with TeamLiquid or else they would have had some kind of comment on it. Usually when something like this happens that doesn't have anything to do with TeamLiquid they also join in on the speculation or the commentary. That doesn't necessarily mean that Huk is coming to EG but I think that this announcement will involve TL in some fashion.

They removed the countdown. Prob cause they realized the countdown made no sense, as it would have been release in other areas first.

The only thing is if it was something really small like this, i think they would get less traffic than they would have if they just announced it normally. Know what i mean? people would get all hyped about something that turned out to be nothing and they would get pissed off haha.

Honestly this is the most fun I've had at waiting for "presents" since Day J killed Christmas for me...
*The Savior to EG would automatically turn EG from the "so called Bad Guys" to the guys who pissed in the punch bowl. *My fantasy pick would be Nal_Ra coming out of retirement and to EG, since he's the only other RA worth mentioning.

No. Every major character in the scene knows what the announcement is already.

[...] but what I can say is this: it is the first item of a chain of news items.
Sadly not all the items are good news. 
From Heostat on reddit during the liquid`hero announcement: Link
Uhhh. I wonder if they're somehow related.
