Good luck Huk.
We know it was the best decision businesswise but I dont think EG will provide the knowledge, practice parters and love Liquid did.

Though its a big move for ESPORTS. Money is becoming more relevant. Hope TL can step up with getting sponsors to buy him back! ;D

I'm willing to bet HuK fans begrudgingly disagree.

I'd say most HuK fans are Liquid fans first.

So not really....

EG made a lot of hype but it was all smoke.

And now they are desperate to buy the fire.

Just keep throwing your money around and see how sustainable it is. Probably as sustainable as iNcontroL's MLG runs.

Despite my sadness reading this announcement, this made me LOL

mediocre player -> fly out/live on TL's expense in korea for a year and train with some of the best korean players in the world -> fail repeatedly but TL don't seem to ever kick their players or tell them to gtfo of korea -> become good -> swap team

Honestly, as fans of eSports, we should be thrilled whenever a player gets paid a ton of money.

If EG can afford to pay HuK a huge chunk of change, that's fantastic. More dudes living the dream. Congratulations to him, and he should absolutely go for it.

even with the speculation im still quite surprised by the announcement. can't say this is bad for the scene, but from the sounds of things liquid did not have the opportunity to raise their offer? sounds like it was a double blind offer instead of more of an auction. I think HuK would have gotten even more if it was an auction style and liquid may be more satisfied with the result that way.

The money?

Considering how high Idra's contract is rumored to be, they may have offered Huk 100,000 USD, or somewhere in that range.

LiquidHuk had a nice ring to it, not so much EGHUK, but anything EG sounds bad other than demuslim.

WHAT? That's IT? EG's hype and announcement was EG.HuK AND THAT'S IT?

Good luck for HuK, also IdrA+PuMa+HuK trio will be a beast. Sad news for Liquid indeed, but hey, its the player decision, and we all love HuK.

BUT THAT WAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT?
I feel violated :|
