Not sure why people are mad a HuK.

It's a good opportunity for him, and for his future. He'll be making LOTS more money, I'm sure, and he's bringing IdrA to Korea with him :D Can't wait for Idra to start training in Korea again.

I'm actually curious about Idra in this whole thing. I thought he quit Korea for reasons that seem to make a lot of sense...what made him change his mind ?

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!


Well said and needs to be copied.

I look forward to hear about further announcements!

Nevertheless it is quite wonderful that so many people care. Pretty astonishing.

In the end, its all about the money ey Huk? We don't blame you, I think all of us would take a huge salary.

I was ready to rage, but that feeling faded after reading the opening post. Best of luck to you HuK!

p.s. EG still blows.

This is very true. Coming from a fan of -sports- who follows a ton of individual athletes regardless of the mascot and colors.

if thats what he wants, then good for him

Since huk will be training with much lesser abled bodies (relative the people at OGS-TL house) he must have recieved an offer from EG that makes his tournament prize winnings insignificant to him. If he really wanted to become the best then he should have stayed with TL. The practice environment was just soo much better than idra and puma will provide, especially since everyone knows idra didnt practice that much when he was in korea anyways.

Huk chose money over improvement, there is no other way to look at it. Unless EG brings in better folks, Huks skill may go down due to lack of good training. Even if EG brings more, it would be hard to match the TL-OGS house.

Personally, i thought huk was the kind of guy who just wanted to be the best, but this move goes against all logical reasoning if he wishes to keep improving at the rate he is. Bad move by huk if he wishes to get better, good move by huk if he is in it for the money.


Either way, good luck Huk..

Sad to see him go, but I'm still a fan of both him and TL. I hope that this does well for him in the future and I wish him, Idra, and Puma good luck!

His contract was running out, and he decided to switch teams, seems pretty straight-forward to me.

I'm usually critical of the way EG conducts their business, but this is professional and well done.

However, I have my doubts if a 3 man teamhouse in korea, with a single person per race, yields the same results as the oGs-TL house. Short term financial traded for long term career succes is what I'd say. Not to mention that with the current quality of code A players I can't see Idra in his current form making it into code S within the coming months.

Time will tell I guess, I'll try and cheer for the both of them.



For some reason I doubt EG will be just three men in Korea. I don't know anything, but my gut says that EG is going to sign more Koreans for that house. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't hire some other top foreigner or more to join them. (SaSe would be a great pickup free agent and he's said he wanted to train in korea).

If EG signs more players and gets a legitimate coach and house going in Korea. Huk may find a good training environment. Maybe Idra will even return to a form he had a year ago when he was considered the top foreigner.

Here's hoping it all works out for everyone.


Good Luck, Huk and EG and Liquid.

Best of luck, HuK!

As a fellow Canadian I cheered for Grrrr wayyy back in the day, and with your performance lately, you will be (or maybe you already are) the iconic figure for Canadian gamers and other fans alike. I'm not a big fan of EG as an organization but I'll still cheer for you as you continue your success and reach new heights.
