I can't restrain my huge disappointment.
Before joining TL, HuK was NOBODY in the global SC2 scene. Now he's leaving the oGs-TL training house for the EG facility with only PuMa and IdrA at the moment. I mean WTF.
I'm so sad you didn't leave for a greater challenge.
But I can understand your choice as a human, GL anyway.


Why does that mean he wont also practice with the OGs guys when hes still in korea?
Both works out right

If this was planned a long time ago (esp having the best players in Korea) the recent purchase of the training house in the US was a bad decision imo. Who needs a training house if the best players dont live in there lol

Well Im disappointed in Huk. But tbh I dont really care about him. My hate for EG just grows


Lol at the "bad decisions" they have the money and the power so why do you care? hate on.

I dont I just stated my option ("imo")

HURRAY :D This is really good news for EG, and it really made me happy that these 3 players are moving back to korean to sharpen their skills. I have much hope for idra now.

True Huk fans support him no matter what.

Also Also, I'm very excited to see how TLO and Ret will do in the coming months, I have much hope for these guys. Liquid took on Hero and Sheth, and this new blood will even things out.


This was WAY more then I could have imagined as news, had never thought this announcement would be this shocking.

HuK is a sellout and EG is a shitteam, quit overhyping stupid news like this one, it was obvious since like 20 hours ago that HuK was going to EG, the community was hoping for something more. You could have cut this bullshit way sooner if everything you had to announce was a player switching teams.

The community hyped it up, not EG....

Putting up a 24 hours countdown is not overhyping? IT WAS JUST A PLAYER TRANSFER DUDE, They kept tweeting "clues" and stuff just to increase the hype, the community just fell for it, which is completely reasonable.

Eg didn't make a 600 page thread though. It wasn't just a player transfer. They are getting a korean house and sending Idra back. If someone like dignitas made a korean house and bought huk and was sending naniwa there this community would be like FUCKKKK YEAAAA. The double standard is ridiculous

When you put out cryptic messages and a countdown clock you are expecting HUGE hype, so while EG didn't create the 600 page thread, there intentions were that one would be created.

I am kinda sad. Ive been following HuK for a long time since before he was on teamliquid.
It hurts to see him leave TL. However I know its what he wants and it will help him become a better player.

Its like my best friend is moving away for a new job, I am upset but I know that it is in their best interest.

That's also why I love TL. They obviously don't have as much money as EG but they could easily hype their news.

Hero, Sheth recruited ? Just a picture and the article on the front page. No fuss, no bs.

Quite happy that Sheth went through the NA battle.net qualifiers so that one TL is still in.

Nonetheless I wish good luck to Huk, he seems to be a great guy. I think he and DeMuslim would get along well if he goes to Korea too.
Wonder if the random pranks Huk did in the oGs house will suit to Idra though...

This is really cool, at last IdrA is beginning to get some good teammates, and it will be awesome to see him back in Korea.

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.


They have enough money to focus on both. They have a house in Korea and NA.
Just started. Haven't demonstrated the positive effect of that yet, and it's a lot more important than buying the best players in the world. Just by putting them on your team, you may be making them a bad favor, if they've grown to their success due to the environment of another team, and yours doesn't help them to maintain and grow their class. People severely underestimate the importance of a team for personal growth, and look at teams as just the sum of great players.

edit: Then they wonder what happened to Fruitdealer, Trickster and Clide, who seemed close to being the top world players per race, at the time of forming their team.

I'm guessing IdrA can't go to IEM because he needs to start packing for Korea?

I have to laugh at the people calling HuK a sellout. I guarantee you if your employer's competitor wants to hire you for thrice the money, you won't think twice. That was an offer HuK couldn't refuse. I'm sad he quit Liquid too... But we can't blame him.

I just hope switching to EG won't send his skills into a downward spiral.

Just 3 players in the Korean house? And the Arizona house basically becomes their B-Team house?

Puma, HuK and IdrA... I'm having a hard time seeing those 3 become close friends, considering the rivalry and language barrier. And Puma basically gets no one to speak korean with.

So all that hype was for signing player which contract with previous team expired and moving Idra to Korea. How is that so huge that they made so much fuss about? It was expect that hype will be so huge after mystical sites with letters in background, coded mp3 files with subtle messages. Slasher was right, I will hate EG even more...

people against this move are hurting esports. anytime a person who puts as much hard work in as huk does to be the best, gets paid what the best truly deserve, is good for esports. haters are gonna keep us in the stone ages and need to be eliminated.


Hahaha! Well, that didn't take too long.
