The only thing that might give be a bad taste in my mouth about HuK leaving is how teamliquid operates. When you are asked to join this team it is a big honor, but like said before.. money changes everything. If I was offered a large sum of money to switch teams and get a lot more benefits, especially if I was playing a new game with an uncertain future, I would definitely switch teams too. Even if it was EG. One thing I don't get though, is if EG is trying to achieve the best team, why don't they trim some of the fat, like LZGamer and MAYBE even Machine. Axslav and Strifecro I can see staying on the team since they play 2v2, even though they don't even produce the best results, but LZGamer has really done nothing.

buuuuuuuuuut. yeah HuK i will still always cheer against you in foreigner tournaments, but I will always cheer on a white guy at the GSL.

I wonder if HuK can still visit the oGs house while he's on EG. I don't see why not : / Meh, he can still practice with MC online I guess. I just hope his skill doesn't suffer from not training in the oGs house anymore.
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

Who are these "people"?

Well if Nazgul said that EG offered HuK something that was "potentially life changing"...we can probably assume he will be comfortable for a progamer.

That's not what I was asking. I have obviously read the OP. I am simply wondering where the six figures come from....

"Liquid is everything you could ask for in a team."

Really Huk?

Seems not considering this move.

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 ?



Probably Korean going to foreigners event now, the fact that his level of play has been dropping since he left Korea, and EG probably offered him the possibility to be sent to foreigners event from Korea directly


It would make sense. Idra left Korea because the NA scene was so hot and there were more tournaments with money to be had. But now that the Koreans have followed him back to NA, it's no longer easy money. Also, there's the social aspect- with a greater foreign presence it might be a little more appealing to go back. But then again, doesn't he have a girlfriend now?

He's still going to be the same HuK. He'll just have that hated tag next to his name.

Im so sad that i had to be team EG . I belive in TeamLiquids philosophy of gaming and i dont feel that EG players plays with the same spirit. Huk will always be Huk and ofc i and hopefuly every Huk fan will stay with him.
But as a Huk fan you cant miss the Teamliquid community and its easy the become a part of that, so in many cases you dont just cheer for the player but also the team. So at this momet more then ever before SC2 feels more like a favorit fotballteam or a favorit hokey team and that team loses a great player that perhaps was the reason you started to cheer for the team in the first place. Its a sad day for many fans but it is always fun to see a great person take a step forward in life. Huk fighting

Two huge blows to me the last few days. Fabregas leaving Arsenal to play for Barcelona, and now HuK leaving TL for EG.

Of course it's extremely disappointing to see HuK leave TL. He's had huge success under the banner and made many friends and fans as well.

I fell like there must have been a hell of an offer for HuK to leave for EG, and it makes me even more sad. It didn't seem like HuK had any problems financing his travels, and I'm sure TL put enough money on the table to last for a shitton of traveling. It's sad to see another player on the rise join EG because of the money, but that's life I guess.

Part of me hopes he regrets leaving TL, and part of me wishes he won't regret it. TL is the main team I'm rooting for, and it's easy to see why; all of the members are fantastic individuals and possess great skill. That's the short version anyway. It's a shame TL will lose a great player such as HuK because of EG having more money, but I'll learn to accept that.

I wish everyone involved (HuK, EG, TL) the best luck (but TL over EG any day, baby) and I look to the future for many great games.

For today though, I will mourn the loss of a great person and player.

Can we please stop this whole "true fan" hipster nerd nonsense. You can be a fan of Huk and still be upset with him for leaving TeamLiquid. Last time I checked being a fan didn't mean that everything that person does is great.

Well, that's a disappointing announcement on a couple of fronts...

- TL losing a good player
- An interesting player going to EG, which is pretty far down the list of teams to like (I find they often show way less class (like how InControl likes to put his foot in his mouth, Idra's general behaviour, the puma fiasco, Alex Garfield essentially berating Milkis on air, etc)
- A whole website just for that? Pretty much a dud of an announcement after all that hype, particularly with all the leaks like supernova's twitter or the husky video...

Can't blame Huk though, since we don't really know the terms of his old and new contracts and what other teams offered him. I hope he still manages to keep his ties to the OGS-TL crowd strong, otherwise he's going to be sorely lacking in decent training partners, barring any other upcoming news.

I think EG should either partner with a Korean team, sign up like 5 other top pros(lol) or partner with dignitas/mouz or something. They need a good team house if they wanna keep huk and get idra in top shape.

Also, the youtube video mentioned another announcement coming up. Will this be dramatic as well or just: "We found a nice hotel for Chris and Greg and Puma"?

And GL to Huk.

Why are there no comments from idra not even his twitter. wonder what his thoughts on this are.


EG won't allow him an opinion on a business decision. He's a little bittch until you meet him one and one and he, im sure, is much more respectful. He's a childish brat with an inflated view of himself.

What a great contribution to the thread!

Also I really like what EG is doing, lots of content, lots of interesting things to talk about.

no it's not 6 figures, the original source said "close to 6 figures" and then everyone just spread the news as 6 figures

either way, it's a huge deal for him and i can understand why he did it


who's the "original source" anyways? i don't believe it's that much money Oo
