Why does everyone not like HuK anymore? Hes the same guy, just on a different team. He got a huge offer from EG that liquid couldn't compete with, simple as that. This is his job, why should he turn down such life changing money? He even said he would be willing to accept less to stay with liquid, but EGs offer was just too big to ignore. He isnt selling out or anything, just doing the best thing for his future.

I would like to say, for the record, that I at one point said that i thought it would be Huk and it would result in Puma/.Huk/IdrA in Korea.

Hmm, I wonder if this means EG is moving towards a more Korean focus, and especially with BW contracts running out, if it will build a full team to play/compete in Korea.

its gotta be awkward for a while between Huk/Idra, and for that matter Idra/Puma. God idra, you have got to stop shooting all your relationships before they start.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

I'll just put this down for the record since it will only be read by those who came here from searching my post history.

I'm extremely dissapointed in the way this has been handled. If all the announcements are HuK going to EG which was discovered within minutes. And IdrA going back to Korea, because he has the skill for it and after catching his breath again, he is ready for the real competition. And a team house which has been in the works for over half a year. The last one is pretty cool I guess, if other foreigners can join a bit too. As well as the amount of money EG has in assets, I think that is good and hope it pays dividends.

Because I must, HuK moving to EG. I have no problem with that. I don't see why it's such a big deal. Just disconnect your emotions. It can be good and scary at the same time. Things are getting more serious and there will be more of these instances in the future. Just make sure you get a good standard for handling them. This announcement bullshit makes me absolutely furious. It's just a player transfer, an incredibly blatant one I might add, treat it as such. The surprise better be coming still and even more coverage dedicated to IdrA and the Korea House, if those are true.

Two lines are spent on the latter and the rest is spend for that what everyone already knew. Granted, it's probably a good way to handle it because you allow time to slip the information in but by doing so you cannot forgot what other effects it has. I almost feel sick and contemplating to just stop caring about everything and just enjoy the tournaments once a while. As Chill has said, are you treating us like children?

Let me close of with this. Please stop doing this and just gather up a professional way of conducting all the business aspects related to the esports industry, especially with eye on the future and it's growth.
If I say more I would repeat myself.

Worst news ever
I am sorry (or should I?) but I don't like Team EG.

Anyways, good luck HuK and... gogo Team Liquid!
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

So sad seeing all these ragers. When you get your opinions from other stupid posters, of course you won't have any good ones.

Calm down tiger. As much as I hate EG, EG has done nothing wrong. They offer a better money and Huk took it. If you are bitter cos TL lost Huk, you cant blame either EG or Huk, they just seek the oppotunity that is best for them.

EG's policy to acquire already accomplished players doesn't go very well so far... It seems just throwing money at it, doesn't auto-bring more money. That said, hope Greg and Chris to do well.
But my advice to EG is to focus more on building their own players, than on buying accomplished players. The direction towards practice houses is good, and wish them that it creates new stars.



Pfff, look at sports. No big teams do that. They either send out talent scouts to smaller leagues or buy players from other big teams. Thats how it works.

anyone notice that the picture in the link: http://wellplayed.org/forum/announcements/thread/the-big-reveal-from-team-evil-geniuses
bares a striking resemblance to the picture posted earlier today, which everone claimed to be shopped?

On the upside, it's awesome that top foreigners are getting larger salaries than they were. On the downside, I'm not a fan of EG trying to buy itself a team, but I suppose these are two sides of a coin.

I'm still still sad to see HuK leave his team for one with a, dare I say, worse reputation. And I think the whole cryptic countdown reveal thing was a bit distasteful, to say the least.

At the end of the day, every pro-gamer wants to earn a decent living. This is not different from taking up a better job offer at another company, which most of us would have no second thought about, yet we still criticise?

It's a bit different from say soccer where you can earn a decent living at most clubs, but pro-gaming is difficult to live off, and if he's made the choice to look after his future then I don't blame him.

With all due respect to Team Liquid's excellent work, it puzzles me to hear people complain about EG's financial scope. From what I know, EG has no private investors/patrons – all its sponsors were acquired through "normal" means, i.e. by providing a good, measurable return. You could argue that this is less the case for TLAF or FXOpen who clearly have other interests than promoting their brands in the most efficient way. It's perfectly fine to dislike EG for going after HuK, but please don't make it sound as if EG has some sort of unfair advantage over other organizations.
