Yeah, PvP practice with InControl should be way better for his game than PvP practice with MC.

Of course he will still practice with MC. They are great friends. I didnt know so many people were so ignorant about how team to team, player to player practice relationships are in korea. All of the top players from top teams have practice partners from other teams.

Can you imagine if IdrA snores or something and HuK keeps nudging him all night so Puma can get enough sleep for a tourney the next day? lol.

Great for Huk, sad for teamliquid, understandable for EG.

That said, I can't support buying an ace player. In this sense, EG is kind of a victim of Huk's success, this would have been such a non-story in my eyes if it had happened a couple months ago. Huk could have gone on to win dreakhack, hsc, and whatever else with an EG jersey and I would have commended EG for recognizing and appreciating his talent even when he hadn't won anything for awhile.

As it is now though, it just looks like they are trying to buy out his accomplishments and success and put their name on it, and coming off the Puma-right-after-NASL deal, I think it's pretty clear how EG's management is approaching expanding their talent. I won't blame Huk for taking a life-changing deal, but I can't support management (or complacent sponsorship) that is unable or unwilling to foster new talent.

Can't wait to see which Blizzcon player they pick up so they can have a jersey in that tournament. Or maybe they'll just skip that step and head straight to the winner!


You do realise that EG has been interested in Huk for a long time. Huk had offers from both TL and EG before he joined TL. They went for him now because his contract with TL was ending (thats what I understood at least).

You EG haters are trying so hard to look for some way to dislike them and their business. Why is it wrong to go for a top player? If the player agrees its the best decision, and the other team is okay with releasing that play I cannot see anything wrong at all, not at all.

And why didnt you guys rag on mouze for picking up Thorzaine after his TSL3 victory? Same deal. There are so many examples of teams doing the same thing, but when EG does something so many people want to get the "lets hate EG" bandwagon rolling.

Yes I realize that, that's why I made specific mention of the fact that EG is a victim of Huk's success. If Huk had lost those tourneys and EG picked him up, nonstory. If they had picked up Huk prior to his victories and then he went on to win with an EG jersey, nonstory. But that is not the way it happened. They saw him rise to the top of his game, his team, and the foreigner scene and then they made their offer.

It is worth noting EG showed interest in Huk very early on when TL first picked him up as well, but it's also worth pointing out he had just won an MLG. Make no mistake, all team's will do this from time to time when they have the money advantage over the previous team (you pointed out Thorzain as another example of it), but not all team's utilize it as their sole acquisition method. Liquid has picked up plenty of players without any recent victories, and even unknowns like Hero when they see the talent. I just haven't seen EG do this. They have a pretty clear precedent of throwing jerseys at people as they are stepping off the podium and that's about it.


Whats wrong with seeing if a player can produce results before giving him a huge amount of money?

This is why you wait before you dish out huge sums of money to unproven players


But its not like EG waited till he produced results to show interest. They showed interest along side TL. They got the player they wanted for a long time, and are paying him very very well.

I'm sure HuK considered this decision carefully and didn't take his leaving of 'Liquid lightly. I'm sure this move with advance him greatly in his career and I don't think anyone should hold that against him.

However, being a follower and fan of 'Liquid since its reboot when Nony joined after his TSL performance, I'm incredibly sad to see HuK leave. Also given some of the bad publicity EG has gotten recently, I have to say I'm extremely disappointed as a fan. As much as I loved HuK, I suppose it just means I was more of a 'Liquid fan at heart.

GL Huk.

I'm not worried about Huk's skill level, so long as he is still in korea, and idra going back is going to be pretty cool as well (curious to see how he'll do back in the GSL).

I'm very curious how EG is going to handle the team house thingy. Idra, huk, and puma is an amazing start, but I hope they can get more people than that in the house. I'd love to see them become a presence in GSTL as well.

I am sorry that i am 14 years old and dont know how to spell prober, but i am going to share my mind and the feelings i have how this...

narcissistic? no I dont think so, since it is about HuK and not me...I use a lot of time watching a couple of players and he was one of them and on a team that only chose special people. that is why i am i am angry, i am sure that liquid as Nazgul writes, that liquid made a good offer.


Oh, you're 14? That does explain it. Everyone is a narcissist at that age. I'll explain why I said that.

What you wrote is "I..." "my..." "me..." Everything is about your thoughts, your feelings, your expectations. Nowhere do you stop and think about how HuK might feel. Why he might choose to do that. What his current needs/future plans are.

Everything this announcement is to you is you being betrayed. Whereas I can tell you that HuK doesn't care about your feelings, when he's thinking about which job to take. And if you expect him to, in a way that is absolutely unrealistic, then the fault lies with you, not with him. Things do not work this way. We're not in a glorified high-school movie where the beloved underdog team suddenly wins the big tournament and everyone is happy forever except for the bad villain team who get exposed as frauds. Real life is not a movie.

I am not picking on you here, I just want you to think a little bit about what you are writing, why you are writing it the way you are writing it, and how the result comes across to people who are not you.

And to be fair, you are definitely not the only person on TL who has been churning out stuff like this today. And deep inside they whisper "but this is not supposed to happen, the good guy is supposed to stay with his team until they win"... But it never does happen anywhere except in the movies. And when the main actor doesn't behave properly, he gets chewed out for not conforming to people's delusions.

hm, read about it before you thrown around big words like that;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism

yes I am writting what I feel after I read that announcement. I dont know what HuK feels, and to read that you know is kind of funny...i dont think he will change his mind.
But you dont know if HiK is reading it and crying...dont think you know who he feels

No one in here knows how much he gets in salary from EG, it could be 50000 or 1000000 whatever, i still feel he sold out.


man when you grow up, please dont ever leave your paper route job, cause u'll be selling out too.
