Last but not least, is there anything you'd like to say about HuK's move to EG? There's quite an uproar on both sides today, but can you say anything from your perspective as someone who's been around since day 1 of StarCraft and has been experiencing the growth of North American eSports first hand?

It's an exciting day when a player like Huk gets recognized for his achievements and skill in the kind of way every SC2 player wishes... financial stability to do the thing he loves. EG is excited to have him and Huk is a great guy that makes everyone around him better. Couldn't ask for a better situation for EG.

Have been a fan of EG, and while I was sort of sad to see HuK move teams, I'm excited to see what EG can do now with HuK, Puma, and IdrA.

Criticize Idra all you want, but he and Puma might be 2 of the most knowledgeable players in the world when it comes to knowing timings, builds, and refining play. I think HuK will be fine. His PvT has been failing him lately with falters to Select and Bomber (although, both those players are great and Bomber was expected to win) and Puma will help tremendously. oGs has a lot of good terrans, especially Nada, but how much time did HuK really have to practice with Nada.

He should have all the time he wishes to with Puma.

TL's my favorite team, but I have nothing against EG. HuK will be a really good addition and it'll be interesting hearing IdrA talk about him differently now that they're on the same team.

Never really liked EG but HuK is a great enough player to outweigh that. As long as he remains as dedicated to victory as he has been for the past year, HuK fighting!!

Kinda sad HuK leaves team Liquid. It's the team where he developed as gamer and as person and got worldwide recognition. Leaving after just "a year" seems not nice in any regard.
But, as we all know, at any level:
It's all about the money, money, money
We do need more money, money, money

For me you will remain part of Liquid for a long time. qq

I'm truly heartbroken by this... Liquid has done soo much for HuK's career like getting him into Korea, getting him into the oGs house with many top players, with this he's able to get into Code S, and able to win Dream hack... To abandon such friendships and be selfish like that for the money he received... If only he could be Jinro, who said, "i'd quit sc before I join EG".

wow did jinro really say that? i cant believe it.

anyways its huks right to be selfish and he deserved to be on a big money contract(that tl cant afford). if any fans hate him for that, they are being ridiculous and definately not true huk fans

E: ill stay a fan, since im a fan of his PLAY not his TEAM

Starcraft is an INDIVIDUAL sport. like golf, tennis, and wrestling. Teams exist to make it financially viable right now and provide practice partners. It is not selfish to leave and change teams. It's not like part of the team relies on him like teams do in TEAM sports....
