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. | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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! E-Sports Hwaiting! | ||
