I like to think it has something to do with being on the balance team. Lets look at the facts:

Exhibit A:

Incontrol (P)
Gretorp (T)
Machine (Z)

are all moving to California. Each player here represents a different race. Where is Blizzard located? California.

Exhibit B:

The audio clip of Incontrol and Idra talking about Blizzards shitty balance team.


Conclusion: Add A + B = C: Each of those players are going to be on the balance team. And each player represents a different race. Also each player is relatively fair considering balance unlike other top level players.

The one logic problem with that is Machine has said he's not moving to california (least I read that somewhere).

but that is an interesting hypotheses I didn't even think of that at all. We can hope right? lol but I doubt it for some reason. Would be hilarious if you were correct though :D

honestly.. I really hope this is the case. Blizzard needs a proper balance team, the three musketeers (kim, browder, and that other random guy) are just not cutting it.

Realm of Possibilities:
1. E-sports tournament-50% likely.
Types:
1.Team based tournament.-5 % likely (other players from team(nazgul for instance) would've hinted at knowledge. Doesn't go along with machine, gretorp, and incontrol going to there.
2.Solo tournament-45% likely. I think this is very likely, and if I had not known that machine, incontrol, and gretorp were all moving to california I would think this would be way more likely. Of course, there are a number of problems with this theory:
1.Why wait so long? If it is a tournmanet, it is most likely at least as big as dreamhack in terms of prize pool. Might also have sponsers such as g4/espn, or just some really big non-airing sponsors.So I'm thinking AT LEAST 20000 prize pool, if not more(leaning towards more.)
2.Why are incontrol, gretorp, and machine moving to korea? Unless they're moving there premptively and its a location based tournament, this lends evidence against this theory.


Practice House/E-Sports location/building-50% likely.
Why?

-The three EG members moving there, getting ready to set up. Makes perfect sense if its some sort of practice house.
-Incontrol has constantly stated how the West needs practice houses, and how thats what makes korea so appealing, not just the calibar of players there.
-They were talking about building a practice house in korea previously, but I haven't heard anything recently regarding that.
-Fits with the delayed announcement, along with "not being allowed" to say yet.
Things to consider:
1.Idra's statement on twitter:

gonna be busy for the next few days, so no stream until the 9th or 10th. exciting news coming soon though
Means?
-Probably nothing, since he is on EG and may just know about it.

Incontrols twitter yesterday
Yeah made a mistake with that one. Tomorrow we set fire to this place folks. But it's only the beginning... it's coming.

Mean?
-Most likely he's talking about revealing the announcement. I expect him to reveal it on the State of the Game tonight.

hIs name is chris. if he finishes what we paiD him to do tomoRrow you will know more. not All mind you. but more. a lot more.

Means?
-While him saying idra is interesting, this also implies that something had to be done. I can't imagine a tournament having to be built, so this goes along with my theory of a practice house.
There will be 50. They will see. They will all see.
Means?
-Either totally irrelevant and I look like a fool, or 50 players in the practice house, or 50 players in a tournament? I'm not sure

Oh Ive read everywhere that he is moving there. I think Incontrol has stated twice that he is. Once on SoTG, and the other when he called into Weapon of Choice. But im not 100% sure which place he said that. I thought it was both.

Well... if 15 hours ago can be considered "just tweeted", but yeah. I was just about to post about this.

88iNcontroL

Just thinkIng about it has gotteN me all excited. can't wait tO share it.


As Gentleman7 wrote, IDRA JINO is spelled out, assuming it's not an anagram and that each tweet is separate. It's likely that he just missed a letter trying to spell Jinro which may be supported by his next Tweet:

Yeah made a mistake with that one. Tomorrow we set fire to this place folks. But it's only the beginning... it's coming.

Looks like it is a 100% going to be a tournament then, according to Pandain's logic.

Practice Porno/E-Sports location/Filming-50% likely.
Why?

-The three EG members moving there, getting ready to set up. Makes perfect sense if its some sort of practice Porno.
-Incontrol has constantly stated how the West needs practice Pornos, and how thats what makes korea so appealing, not just the calibar of players there.
-They were talking about Filming a practice Porno in korea previously, but I haven't heard anything recently regarding that.
-Fits with the delayed announcement, along with "not being allowed" to say yet.


My claim is that this claim is equally likely if 'house' is replaced with 'porno' and 'build' is replaced by 'film'.
