EG + HuK Rumor on Reddit?

So as everyone already knows, EG has been counting down to a huge announcement that they will be making in two days.

Reddit seems to think that HuK will be joining EG for a "boatload" of money:

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/jj3oc/huk_to_eg/

This might be totally baseless speculation, but HeoSat has already confirmed that one announcement about to be made is not going to be good news for TeamLiquid:

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/jeiqg/announcing_liquidhero/c2bjxwe?context=3

Furthermore, Kennegit stated that some "massive drama" that has been known about for months was going to be announced sometime this week:

http://i.imgur.com/TkCW0.png

Finally lets not forget that one year ago next month Liquid signed HuK to it's roster. Player contracts generally expire after a year:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=155684

It is also common knowledge that HuK was choosing between EG and Liquid when he was looking for a team last year:

"To be honest the two teams that ended up making it to the "finals" of the tournament to sign HuK (me) were EG and Team Liquid, and now that I've been in the team for a while I couldn't be happier."

-Quote from HuK's interview on Fnatic's website

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=210557
http://www.fnatic.com/feature/8655/One-Year-with-Liquid-Huk.html

Will be very interesting to see how this all plays out!!!

EDIT: Additional comments from HeoSat all but confirming HuK's depature: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/jigen/countdown_on_egs_website/c2cfu6x

If this is true I wonder how this will affect the Liquid/oGs partnership. I would say HuK is the key to that relationship. IMO, Liquid just wont be liquid to me anymore if HuK is no longer present.

God I hope he doesn't go to EG. I really don't see it happening with him being in Code S and being great friends with a lot of the oGs guys (a tleast it seems he is).
Definitely gonna switch to G, the only race I havent played yet. - TLO

hope this is false.. Would be pretty idiotic decision, One of the few reasons im a fan is because of The TL shirt. He even made a TL <3 With pylons, so how can this be true

Seems pretty unlikely, just looking at all the other factors involved.

1) He hasn't been money driven for awhile, but instead improvement driven to ultimately win a GSL, I don't see why it'd suddenly change right now.

2) If he joins, he probably won't be able to stay in the ogs-TL house anymore, so his practice will go down the drain if he chooses to remain in korea.

Or at least I hope not. I became a fan of Huk because he was a hometown liquid player. His achievements/attitude in korea (which only came because he is on liquid) won me over. Really everything doesn't just 360 so quickly.

because of this and other reasons I won't believe this until it actually happens,
to me it seems that he loves it in korea, I'd be disappointed to see him in EG,
don't think they changed their plans and suddenly want to play in korea.

+ I don't like EG very much :/

Do we really need a separate thread for this? This exact theory is pretty much all that's being discussed in the original thread anyways.

What a waste!

If this is true, then all that Idra/HuK drama over the past year will have been for nothing! No more extended middle fingers onstage. No more 'He can't play a real game'. No more 'Fuck off'. They'll have to start being (or at least pretending to be) nice to each other. The horror!

honestly, did people really expect Idra to BM huk at the bnet invitational? It was a small personal event in which they were treated by blizzard. Idra had to act professional out of respect for blizzard

Oh no. Please don't let HuK go to EG. He will probably lose his oGs-TL training spot in the house.. Oh man. EG is just buying players left and right.

Hmm, and Hero recently joined the team too and he plays Protoss. Maybe if HuK really went to EG I think that is why they aquired Hero for Liquid as a Protoss replacement. :O

Let HuK choose what he feels is best for his career. If he wants to jon EG over Liquid than let him without giving him Sh**. I love liquid and root for them all the time, but the player must choose whats best for him. And I respect that.

That would be pretty stupid decision by Huk, unless he has money showers in the contract. TL or some korean house are probably the only places where he could grow as a player now.

If you read the article they were in the process of signing Hero for quite some time. I really doubt Huk would be joining up with EG. Even if he did I doubt he would be returning stateside after stating many times that he enjoys South Korea and wants to play with the best.

If this were true, that would be very dissapointing, and EG would be huge poachers! I cant imagine Liquid letting their number 1 star go for anything.

My thoughts exactly, You would think the TL admins would shut this down immediately and squash any rumor's of such a huge impact.

But on the other side, HuK alongside Jinro have proven be the bridges between TL and oGs in Korea. Perhaps the signing of Hero was a way to soften the impact?

I guess we will all know for sure when the announcement is made.

So its pretty much confirmed that this is true by Heosat.

THat is utterly dissapointing. Huk is going to lose an entire OGS team house just for more money to play with EG.

Why would he ever want to give up that team house =/
