Please tell me it wont just be those 3 in Korea. Huk had an entire house full of practice partners from what I understand. Huk's hard work and dedication coupled with the environment he was in made him great. Sounds to me like he is losing that environment. Hope hard work makes up for it

It could very well be more than 3 people. Demuslim is one that definitely stands out as a possibility. Idra moved because he accurately saw opportunity in the Western scene. It kind of backfired, though, as his skills diminished due to the shit training environment, and Koreans came over and took all the prize money that he figured would be easy to win. He always stated that he loved Korea and expected to be back eventually. Also, living alone in an apartment and playing purely ladder is not nearly productive as what they will have when they get to Korea, even if it is just the 3 of them.

100% agree. HuK had all of TL/oGs to practice, now he's down to PuMa (who might've been Flash's practice partner but isn't seasoned yet) and IdrA (who said he feels out of touch with the korean level of play), plus the rest of EG (which is, tbh, not that amazing, aside from Demuslim when he feels like actually playing).

might've been a good money move for him (and I respect his decision) but the collateral damage from losing fans and potentially losing skill might hurt him in the long run. or everything could be just great and he's going to win 4 GSLs in a row. who the hell knows?

In my opinion Idra should have never left Korea. Glad to see more and more foreigners trying their luck there though.

Yeah, I'm also really excited to see Idra in SK and see the possible achievements in the future.

I hope SaSe can get into Liquid somehow.. He has great potential and workethic on par with HuK's. If he has motivation to play in Korea in the oGs-TL house he can be on same level as HuK imo.

I've a question that maybe already is answered, but why did IdrA pull out of IEM Cologne?
I tought it may had to do with this announcement, but it doesn't seem so .

I wish HuK best of luck in his new team, sad to see him leave Liquid
no

Huh. Wonder what (if anything) this says about (foreign) Liquid's Korean aspirations, perhaps HuK knows something we don't? Really didn't think he'd leave his team anyways, though I guess he's done it before.

Nice pickup for EG however, if "somewhat" overhyped. AGAIN. Can we stop doing that now?

As for IdrA returning to Korea, oh yeeeaahh. He was doing decently enough, but he can do a lot better, certainly looking forward to that. Too bad about the AZ house, but I guess this gives those guys someplace to crash over there as well, which can only be good.

A note about the limited practice players from other teams practice with eacother all the time, just look at the interviews like byun or clide I can't remember trained his TvT with a few slayers members.

Huk is good friends with oGs, do you think they'll stop playing with him because he left a team that wasn't their own?

Don't see this working out with the practicing. Considering Idras reputation with the fact that they are playing under the EG banner as well having the "traitor" Puma in their time I don't see many koreans who would want to practice with them

This is fantastic news for all of EG especially idrA, HuK and PumA and dare I say it the whole of the foreigner community (especially NA).

Now EG has 2 training houses, one in Korea with the big guns and one in NA. They can start taking on new players that are still growing and train them up in NA, when they start to show results they can move to Korea and train with two of the top 3 none Korean players aswell as one of the best
Korean's (Puma used to be Flash's preferred practice partner for BW TvT, must be pretty good to train with).

People saying what happens to the rest of EG now that IdrA is gone, well they have a clear goal put in front of them with the possibility of moving to Korea if they show hard work and results.

If anything I would be ecstatic as one of the lower end players in EG.

This benefits the foreigner community as a whole because it shows a greater presence in Korea with (what the Korean's believe) to be the 2 best non-korean players, I have no doubt that HuK will stay in code S and that idrA will soon be making deep runs in the tournament, people doubting his skills because of some "bad" results in the last few months are foolish, the only non-korean to train exclusively in KR for BW and showing some of the strongest results in SC2 outside of Korea since the beta.

Overall great news, even if the hype did elude to something more!

So instead of partnering up with a korean team to develop your players, you buy a couple top players and throw them together with no coach or other teammates?
