lol

So EG get a pro-house in NA...then move Idra out of it to go practice with expensive new signings Huk and Puma in Korea!

Feel bad for Demuslim, stuck with the B Team now. Maybe he can get a place in Korea too for some decent practice xD

Look at the hype thread. Look at the traffic and views they generated with something so simple. A lot of people dont like EG because theyre a business thats makes money but what do you guys think the goal of a business is? To make money.

I dont understand how their sponsors profit from forum posts.

EG has teams in lots of games. Their reach is much more the just Starcraft, which makes it appealing to sponsors.

So does almost every team, dont they?


Think harder.

I know where youre pointing at but its not that simple that forum posts in EG threats = people buy EG's sponsors products. And besides a lot of people dont like those moves by EG which hurts EGs image which in turn does not benefit their sponsors.

But anyway I dont want to care too much about this.

Also, don't give us this EG to Korea Bullcrap. 3 players is not 'EG to Korea' anymore than Jinro and HerO is 'Liquid to Korea.' I will never be an EG fan, and wait for the day guys like HuK leave for better teams.



Dude, you think EG is going to stop with just 3 players to Korea? Honestly? EG is in it to win it... and they have the money to do it. I would almost guarantee that this is only the beginning.

I'm not saying that I'm a fan of EG, but I guantee that this is only the first step in many for the EG team. This is a business decision that could pull them some serious $$ from their sponsors.

Serious question: Will EG be removing any of its players like Strifeco/Axslav/Lzgamer?

But those who cry about HuK moving on and cursing because its EG and all that shit, people need to remember that HuK is playing this game for a living, not just for fun. Ridiculous and stupid to start bashing him/the teams because of this move.

I doubt they will be removing strifecro/axslav. They currently live in the team house and aren't going to be a ridiculous expense for EG (their salaries are probably nothing in comparison to huk/idra/puma).

LzGamer I'm not sure about... I don't think he's in the EG house and we haven't seen much of him lately. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets cut loose.


Thats another thing i'm wondering about..

To quote Totalbiscuit:

"The only weird thing about this is, why would you go and setup a US training house when your 3 best players won't be living in it? O_o"


1. real estate investment
2. they need a US based base of operations
win win situation i think.

Godamnit. I'm gonna miss him joking around with oGs on stream =(. I can't imagine he'll be laughing as hard with EG, it'll be 100% business instead of good times/laughs.

EG must have given him a LOT of money.

So much overhype for THIS??... I knew I had to trust my instincts they were spot on on this being a major dissapointment.

Why would Huk take this deal though?? That's my greatest question, I mean, I know there's money involved, but why would anyone ditch an atmosphere such as TL? TL offers so many things "money can't buy". Well, I just hope this turns out to the betterment of everyone involved.

GL to Huk in this new project.

Try to realise that there's literally no reason to hate the team I guess

Did you not watch any SC2 in 2010?

Do you remember the two foreigners who actually did well in GSL?

I also feel bad for Demuslim, he just made a huge step in his life to move to US to train in the new house and then Idra leaves which is their best player (or was)
Im better than Stefan

They planned on setting up the house NA BEFORE they knew they would acquire Huk. EG is at least serious about getting better at SC2.

Indeed, Idra's record against top foreigners has been spotty at best in the past few months, and his record vs Koreans abysmal. Hopefully the return to Korea will give us back the old Gracken we used to know.
