BTW I seriously don't think it's a player transfer... though maybe TurN ---> hite (because Kim Ga Troll prefers to send a noname zerg every time instead of him)
but that wouldn't be a "breaking news" with all proper respect to TurN
To be honest, Hite is just trying to gather attention from twitter users.
However, they're pretty good at doing this. Their fan interaction has been amazing in the past (CJ Shirts, Starcraft mecca) and even nowadays, with addition of twitter. They try to interact with their fans a lot.

You know, I've been one of TurN's biggest fans since his very first game as a progamer vs Type-B in 2009, but January probably has a good reason for not using him as much. He hasn't been on the team that long compared some of those 'noname zergs' and even if he has a great record so far this season, none of his wins were really clean. Plus his individual qualifier results have been less than impressive so far. He's been very promising so I think January just wants to take it slow with him so he doesn't get crushed by a potential losing streak.

3,2,1 ENTUS OSL!!
yes thats it,I'm getting that feel!
IT MUST BE ENTUS OSL!
Having an OSL being sponsored by Hite, a beer company, sounds kinda questionable.
Then again, there is no better way to hype up the crowd than giving out free beers at the OSL finals. I look forward to the drunken cheers from what could be an epic OSL.
I hope it's the MSL. I can see a brand new "Hite: Blackout MSL"
Maybe a managment switch up? This is a long shot, but I know effort can't come back to play for like another 6 months or so, but what if he came back as a coach or something? But the whole sponsoring a starleague seems more likely. I just hope they're not trolling us and it's just a slightly different uniform. I'd be rather unhappy.
you guys might be thinking "too" epic... it might be like a special fan meeting for like first 300 people to tweet to a tweet they do about the "secret" fan meeting. Where they can hang out with the progamers and etc etc... I think that's more realistic than some crazy big announcement having to do with big movements.
Edit: the original korean tweet just says "surprise news" nothing about big news. It's just a surprise :o
since they are telling people that 1 post reduces announcement time... it might just be epic? It has like a countdown to announcement? Hmm. Maybe it's big, maybe it's huge, and maybe... just a random event.
Guys, dont forget Savior HIMSELF recently also said he had some big plans and was going to announce something. And with this secret Entus news now.. Just connect the dots. The teams in a secret Kespa meeting must have agreed with it to bring up SC:BW ratings given current worrysome financial situation of Proleague and MBC.
If this were in the West, I could see Savior being forgiven and coming back to redeem himself. But given Korean culture and how universally hated this guy seems to be I doubt we'll ever see him in any official, important BW role ever again.
I'd love to see sAviOr back, but it obviously isn't going to happen. I don't see why so many people are ruling out an sc2 team though, FOX have a bw and sc2 team, Entus should be able to as well.
I don't know if it's been suggested yet, but I hope it's Coach Cho coming back. He was awesome, it would be HUGE news, and it seems to be more plausible than both Effort and Savior ever coming back.
