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.

Huk is Code S. Hero is currently a noob.
HerO is not a " noob " watch his stream, he is amazing.
-__- I know he's not a noob but a HuK/HerO swap makes no sense at all.
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.

Except he actually said he has a depressive disorder in his own fanclub thread v_v
Was he serious or just joshing around?
Pretty sure it was serious, if you read the Fanclub. Can always hope it's not though ~_~
Dude has a beautiful wife and is easily the most handsome man in Starcraft, with the possible exception of Tasteless.
Which is exactly why major depressive disorder would perfectly explain things? Seriously. The stigma and ignorance about mental disorders makes me sad. I seriously hope Tyler doesn't suffer from MDD, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. If he does, my heart goes out to him and I hope he finds something that helps.
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.

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

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?

Could it be something as extreme as EG buying TL, the site or the team??
No. There is no way that Nazgul would sell TL.
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.

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.
