Sad. But I'm curious what's going to happen in the next weeks or months.

First I thought it was about Huk, but fortunately it's only about a TV show.

still gutted that he has gone.... will like him less now hes in EG but will still want him to keep playing Protoss well and win a few more tournaments, we need all the players we can to support!!! We havent got a lot to crow about being Protoss users

Still not sure how this will fully benefit unless hes coming back to America but with Code S to play, where will he stay during the rest of GSL as surely he cant live in the OGS house now... cant see how wanting to be the best means moving out of the ogs house... with Puma(whos good) but Idra who will whine about balance all the time...

Where does EG get all the money from anyway?
Do they have a sugerdaddy? I cant really see them making a lot of revenue from some advertisements here and there.

Although i do not know the specifics of his new training area or the contract, i do not believe that EG will be able to provide the same training environment as HuK has had in the oGs-house. Must be a lot of money or something for this be a better deal on the "business"-level.

I don't get what's with the Hate against EG? What have they done that is so wrong? so they have sponsors and a good deal of money. That should encourage other teams to go out and get even better sponsors of their own.

Also team EG have been one of the most active teams on the scene and you can't deny the quality of their players. Admittedly, a great deal of the community has a problem with Idra, but the guy is still ana amazing player, and no one can deny it. HuK, best of luck in EG.

This was a good decision by HuK, only because it probably meant a huge increase in his financial allowances and tournament/further sponsorship opportunities. In that case, I don't think we should be criticizing or blaming HuK for leaving Liquid. Instead, we should be pointing all our guns at EG for their ridiculous countdown that caused unnecessary levels of hype.

Nevertheless, it's so sad to see HuK without the Liquid tag =( Good luck at EG!

I'm a little sad about this. TL invested a lot and helped bring Huk were he is now. He was the only foreign code S player and sadly TL will lose him. It only proves what people like to deny, money can get you almost everything.

But this sorta thing happens a lot on regular sports. Look at football for example (even though it kinda feels like he went from FC Barcelona to Real madrid ).

I can't say I really dislike Huk for this, but I can't deny that this changed the way I see him as an e-sportsman and a person. I will most likely follow him less and cheer a little less. Still I hope he does well in Korea since the foreign scene needs to catch up to the koreans!

When I was younger and really into football I would feel sad and betrayed when a favourite player left my favourite team. However now I'm older, and hopefully a bit more matured, so I'm going to say good luck Huk and hopefully you will find the future you're looking for.

As for TL, it's sad you can't hold on to your star player, but don't be afraid to search for new players who maybe can win our hearts like Huk did.

I can only speak for myself and from where my hate of EG comes from. It's not really from Idra, even though he is a complete douche, it's more a problem of INcontroL. INcontroL puts on this nice guy charade and then turns into the biggest dick ever, and that EG supports such a player just lower the whole team in my eyes. If you're going to be and dick don't be a false good guy who just gets misunderstood all the time...


Well you can really discuss the quality of the players in EG, not counting Huk or Puma since they haven't been at a tournament after joing the team, but the rest hasn't preformed up to the expected standard as of late.
INcontroL is more a talking of how good he is then actually showing it.
Demuslim was great, but hasn't gotten back to where he was before his injury.
Machine, seems like a "one time of glory" player.
And of course Idra, he preforms well no doubt about it, but he's not the stand alone best foreign zerg that he was in 2010 and earlier this year. If there would be a ranking he would probably end up 4th as Ret, Morrow, Nerchio, Slush, Sheth, Darkforce are hard competitors to those top spots. Not even counting Sen as foreign but that would make it even harder for Idra to rank top 5 zerg. I'm probably forgetting a few great players as well.

Anyway, the point is really that EG is the spoiled rich team of Sc2 atm, "if you can't make great players buy them", and that's something if always despised in sports and probably will continue to do in esports. That's what I dislike about EG as a team, I will always cheer for the underdog and not the spoiled rich kid.

Why did you allow EG's to hype Huk's signing? Why did you allow it since it was going to hurt Liquid's fans? 48h hoping the rumors were not true...

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry for Huk. Idra's fate will hang inevitable upon his career. I hope he lasts as a top tier just a little longer though.
