Don't see why HuK would want to do this because I assume it means selling out and leaving Korea, thus ruining his main goal of winning a GSL.

I think this whole thing is getting overblown and lots of people have already decided these rumors to be 100% fact. It could be a multitude of things really.

Guess we will find out in what, 12 hours?

Honestly I think TL is trolling hardcore, or some of the pro community as a whole is even. This whole this getting rediculous.

I don't know if anyone picked up on this, I can't really say since I am not going to read 70 pages for it, but it seems that the count down ends at almost the exact time the GSL goes live tomorrow with Huk's group. Imagine the shock if he walked out for his match with a EG shirt on. Of course, I'm just making an enormous assumption based on very little so feel free to shoot me down.

that's an interesting theory.

HerO is not a " noob " watch his stream, he is amazing.

I can't accept the theory that HuK is joining EG.
That's ridiculous.
There's so much evidence to point otherwise.

If it is true, I'm going to flip my table and stop following the SC2 scene. /tantrum

I don't see Huk leaving TL. He is in Korea and if he would sign to another team then he wouldn't be able to stay in the oGs-TL house anymore. Huk has said how much he wants to stay in Korea, get better, and win a GSL. Him signing to another team would set those goals back. I hope he doesn't sign to EG. That is all I can do just hope.

Dude, I'm the biggest Tyler fan ever. I hope as much as anyone that he's alright. Sheesh.

Yeah, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was jumping down your throat. Honestly, I wasn't questioning your loyalty to Tyler, I am just passionate about mental disorders as they are my field. I just hate to see those who suffer from them treated as if they are weak, rather than the way they deserve. Not that you were doing that. I'm just a little overzealous. Again, I apologize.

On topic, I don't really care what the announcement from EG is. Actually, let me rephrase that. I greatly care about it and I am super excited. However, regardless of what it actually is, HUGE props to EG for this awesome hype and mystery. I think it's a lot of fun.

I think IdrA and HuK being manner to each other says very very little, if not nothing.

It was revealed long ago that they were never really on bad terms irl.

At HomeStory they were getting along well as well, so there goes that theory. Idra does love to play for the crowd because he knows what people think of him.

tbh why would Huk leave his teamhouse, leave code s to join eg. Doesnt make sense.

why not, for the right amount of money? EG seems to be not short on it and Huk is an awesome awesome player. But my personal guess is white-ra

wait, if liquid has a new protoss (HerO) whois around the same level as huk....then eg can sign huk without liquid taking as massive of a loss...also...IdrA GGing, and shaking huk's hand does lend itself to the realm of curiosity...heosat isnt helping me calm my nerves :/

Heosat is playing with your concerns which I absolutely like :D

imagine you're a team chilling it's way around, bathing in awesomeness and suddenly there was a rumor that never had any hint of being true; I would laugh my a** off if I were liquid right now. It's just funny ^^

This is a good point. It sounds more and more like the cat is out of the bag, but I think there is more to it than Huk.

this is definitely more than a simple player transfer. no team would make an entire countdown just to announce an acquisition of a certain player, seems like a total dick move. something that would make more sense would be some sort of team league. EG vs TL or some shit like that?

are there even any evidences that huk is leaving TL to join EG?

Didn't think so at all, but we are left to speculate.

I remember browsing some old blogs where someone mentioned how a large media organization wanted to buy TL, but they were flatout denied.

No TL denial is probably the biggest proof so far. Nazgul would have shot this rumour down in seconds if it wasn't true. He's done that before when a false rumour about TL popped up. Silence is pretty much confirmation.

There's ample evidence supporting both White-Ra AND HuK to EG... perhaps both? If any team can pull off such a stunt it's EG...

Just thought I'd chime in and post this for the people who are saying HuK's "contract" with Liquid is up. No-one outside Liquid knows the terms of any such contract if it even exists, but even if it were a 12 month contract, we're still over one month away.

Somehow I think this is more than one person joining a team anyway. There are still 4 more MP3's to be revealed.
