Cant think of a reason why TL will retain Nony instead of HuK given HuK's tournament standings, fan support and general willingness to improve himself... No offense to Nony though ><

The MP3 file on the site has day9 mentioning QXC. So QXC -> EG. But you wouldn't want a whole webpage countdown for this announcement, so probs not this or at least not only this.

OK im going to post my theory that EG is picking up Nal Ra, for the same reason that people are mentioning whitera but the fact that Nal Ra would be much bigger news and that Whitera recently joined the TTEsports team so i see no reason why he would be picked up by EG.

The timer when I open the page says 17 hours 58 mins...so I don't know what's going on there.

For the love of god. The countdown is based on your computer clock. You can reduce it to 0 by winding the clock forward. Why must someone post this on every page.

ALso, maybe the "One more game..." thing refers to Huk's code S, last with Liquid...

That's a good theory actually.

If HuK does indeed join EG, I will be thoroughly entertained for days reading the senseless, baseless, and uncalled for rabble from this forum. If you want Esports to succeed, things like this must happen. Competition between teams in this manner forces everyone to strive to improve their situation. If you indeed do think you know HuK like he is your best friend and believe there is no way he would give up his situation in Korea or in the TL-OGS practice house, then I feel sorry for you and your wishful thinking. Maybe those things are true, but they would have little bearing in the face of an actual contractual offer from a team like EG.

There are a multitude of reasons I love EG and the main one is that this team above all the others is actually trying to make Esports succesful outside of Korea. Most of the posters on this forum (in my humble opinion) do not want Esports to suceed like some say, but instead want SC2 to be like BW and for their precious TL to remain the center of the international SC2 universe forever. For Esports to suceed, it MUST slowly evolve into the way other professional sports are handled and the current model certainly is nothing close.

I know it must be terible to think that your favorite player might be leaving his team (something of which we are not yet certain) but honestly, are you approaching this from a selfish perspective that only allows for a SC2 world that you envision? Based on what I've read in this thread, I think some of you have to answer yes.

Lastly, I love to watch good Starcraft 2, I love the game. It's highly entertaining and I believe it has the potential to become something great, players like HuK, Idra, etc do a lot torwards making that goal a reality, and I would hate to see the out of game aspects construe what has become a blossoming Esport.

see the thing is, huk joining EG means a decrease in skill level, meaning less fans, meaning its hurting e-sports.

New possible theory:

EG is recruiting QXC and HuK so they have a nice little team trio in Korea, which makes a lot of sense

No it doesn't because qxc is going back to the states for school.

Razer and TLAF are good sponsors, but I don't think they'd be able to bring the cash that Intel does.

EG buying everyone lol, grow some players!

I sort of agree with this sentiment. I know it's their prerogative but other teams seem to pick up "recruits". Of course not all joins are people to develop; you must bring in big names too. But EG has little interest in that it seems.

I'm confused as to why people are so sure this is Huk signing and not someone like WhitRa. I am personally starting to think it's Sase or someone else. Everyone seems 100 percent positive it's Huk, I am skeptical. Not because it wouldn't make sense or that I'd be against it(Huk to EG would be so awesome), but simply because I don't see overwhelming evidence that is it him that you all seem to possess.

if you listen to the sound clips around 40 second you can hear day 9 comentating on a game which i believe is QXC vs HuK where day 9 says .."man the end of this game is close but theres the gg from QXC"
