Nice write-up. Good luck to HuK in EG.

I can't understand the haters and complainers in this case.


Maybe if you have supported a sports team rather than a specific player than you would understand, also to add to the fact EG's reputation.

Kinda like Man City eh?

I had really mixed feelings about this from the beginning, with moments in which I assumed to have reached a conclusion.

I wasn't the biggest fan of HuK since his controversial ceremony way back in GSL, and grew a dislike for EG for their aggressive, obtrusive marketing and bad handling of PR.
Even this case, which they seemed to have tackled with all the care they could muster, paints them as rather angsty in my eyes.

On the other hand they'd be the strongest team with IdrA, DeMusliM, HuK. A true all-star lineup all gathered in one place, which is needed if we seriously want to beat the Koreans and end up with a competitive field that remains interesting in the long term, though there were some doubts that he'd end up being a lazy bum, in accordance with the reputation of other EG players.

Now it turns out that not only will he not be staying in the north American house, but he'll take IdrA away from it as well, reducing the range of opponents and pool of skill the others can draw from (cross server play is possible, but doesn't compare to living and playing from the same place).

Now I'm still/again not sure what to think of it.
I was ready to cheer for this move, but is it really the best one for EG?
When will the other players join these three in Korea?

Wow, reading all this negativety sort of makes me hate E-Sports fans now........ We should all be happy for HuK. When you get good at something, you're expected to get paid for how good your ability is, no matter who is giving the paycheck. Everyone draws out EG to be the bad guy in this, in reality they chose very standard sport-team practice of buying top teir players, without the risk of having to develop the players.

If you really hate Huk and or EG for this, I'm sad for you. I truly am, as you'll never quite enjoy what this announcement truly is. An advancement of a fellow friend, in their career.

<3 HuK FIGHTING!


it's pretty common in any sports really.. people tend to hate the team that throws around cash and just buys the best players instead of trying to grow their own

So now that SC2 is gonna be all about the money, what's the point in rooting for your favorite team? their best players are just gonna get bought (most likely by EG).
We make signature, then defense it.

Good luck with EG, Huk. I'm a fan no matter what and your statement above is simply proof of why I continue to be a fan of yours regardless of which team you choose to represent. I'm so happy that the teams were able to sort this out in an amicable fashion after the previous, and unfortunate, circumstances which surrounded the EG.Puma signing. I can't stress how much I think that this signing is how the Puma signing would have worked out had things between Coach Lee and the Puma been more clearly discussed and understood.

I continue to have huge amounts of respect for both EG and Liquid for all they've done for the sport despite what others might choose to believe or think (and who am I to tell them any different, everyone is entitled to believe what they wish and have their opinion). It was great to see you go out on a high in Code S with TL and that you'll be kicking off your EG career in Korea with a huge match vs Nada.

GL HF to all.

People tend to forget that Liquid did the exact same thing last year when Huk went from Millenium to TL.

But because it's EG, his fanboys are QQing


Well Millenium nor VT were as big a team as Liquid and back then HuK wasnt as big as a sucess as he is now...



So what ? It's still exactly the same thing, exept on a larger scale.

Too bad.
So sad.
Not mad.
Not glad.
HuK still have a Korean pad?
Or HuK in GSL only a fad?
Still idra's Dad.

I would have done the same thing. That said, I will not cheer for (P)HuK in any of his team matches that make a difference as I pretty much hate EG for their support of (T)IdrA. But I hope he wins code S! He is a good player with a good attitude. I wonder if (P)HuK makes more than (T)IdrA now? That could be entertaining.
So Team Liquid is the hub for the blossoming sc2 scene right now. Once they have had time to stabilize and monetize I hope they can match the offers from teams like EG.
FBH and Bisu. That's all you need.

This is when it becomes obvious that eSports is becoming more like real sports. Players aren't just single entities anymore, they are members of teams and people need to support those teams rather than their players. This is how it works in most other team-based sports. I don't support Real Madrid just because Ronaldo went there, I still support Man United. An Arsenal fan doesn't suddenly support Barcelona because Fabregas has gone there, they still support Arsenal...

Also, I think that the presence of player transfers in this sort of manner is great for eSports. It makes everything seem more... legitimate.

But SC2 isn't a team game. That's why it gets weird.

TL really needs a new star now.

Depends how you look at it. GSTL exists. EG Master's Cup exists. Other such team leagues exist. I take your point, though... because I really only support Protoss players

Well sure, GSTL and some minor tournaments. That's not where the money is though. It's in the advertising and sponsoring. Hence you need high profile players. EG now has Idra AND his "biggest rival" on their roster. Hello money rolling in.......

I know you understand but I still wanted to reiterate.

TBH, that EGHuk video is doing a disservice to Huk.
He is a much bigger player now than Idra. Why highlight their rivalry. Huk joining EG IS the news, not Huk joining his rival under one team!

Awwww... That article, especially what Huk said was kinda touching. But just because he isn't on TL doesnt mean he can't talk to these people again -_-
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
