Nobody criticizes a programmer for taking a new job for more money, why are we criticizing a pro gamer for taking more money? | ||

Though I agree with you in the conclusion, that IdrA is the 3rd best non-Korean. I base this on MLG results, which are, with exceptions, the best metric for determining the hierarchy of foreign players. | ||

You do realize there is always huge drama whenever an athlete (basketball, ice-hockey, football....etc.) changes teams, yes? | ||

I do worry about HuK though. Training with IdrA and Puma will be great, but I can't imagine it'd be better than training with oGs. Hopefully HuK continues to do well. HuK fighting! | ||

For the most part, we're emotional, immature children who don't understand the "grown-up" world. My take is that this makes sense. Huk put in the work and was offered a contract he literally couldn't refuse. It seems like we should be happy for Huk? After all, he is the hardest working foreigner and it is finally paying off for him! | ||

MLG is excluding most good Europeans and its format is extremely protective to seeded players. It is the least competetive tournament format out there. Regarding prize pool I think MLG is not even in the top 5 of foreign tournaments. | ||

He has never won anything but NA only tourneys, and in the recent month and a half his showings vs european and korean players have been poor. | ||

I don't follow many sports, but in Formula1, if someone like Hamilton sign with someone else than McLaren, there will be drama. | ||

Would it be better that the other players just were off living on their own or in the arizona house? It also gives them a hub to prepare for all NA tournaments Exactly. If you set up a place for the players to stay in the states and one in Korea, it cuts down on a lot of costs. No need to ship computers, worry about to boot camp or where people will stay. Its a huge move by EG, long term and impressive. Huk is a blast to watch and I'm sure he and Idra can get along. Now they just need to clean up that poster of theirs, and that website... | ||

People didn't like it when A-Rod went to New York. The community reaction shouldn't surprise anyone. It's not just business for a fan who's emotionally invested in a team or a player. | ||
