For E-sports and the Foreign scene, I congratulate EG on their latest acquisition.

AFAIK IdrA and Huk are friends, its just a professional rivalry. IdrA knows how to hype himself and build a brand and excitement about any match he goes into. I think alot of it is for show. I see them talking and hanging out at DH and JP, Day9, IdrA and Huk hanging out at Blizz NA tournament last weekend. So i think they will be most likely be just fine training and living together. And throw the super talent Puma in there you got a stellar trio of talent training together. Id say they need some more practice partners ofc most obviously for mirror matches and maybe different styles of play so it would be cool having a few more people staying with them. Really looking forward to this development and i hope EG is not over stretching a bit but they probably have the biggest budget and seems to do serious business.

As far as I know pretty many of his rivilaries aren't actually as aggresive as people think often the other guy BMs him and idra is simply happy to play along.

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?

And yet, somehow, magically, Huk still made the decision to go to EG and train with Idra and Puma. I for one trust Huk when it comes to establishing practice regiments and scheduling, and its obvious that he wanted a change, monetary compensation aside. Huk has given the public no reason to doubt his mentality or decision-making before, I say we let his decision speak itself and wait for results, and then we can roll out the hyper-critical, totally egoistic opinions.


Wanted a change ? Lol where did you even get that from? You're just making shit up now. Read Nasgul's post on how bad he wanted to stay with TL. He was even prepared to take significantly less if he meant he could stay.

There's only one reason why HuK is with EG right now. That's the ridiculous amount of money they threw at him.

Pretty sure this is a loss for HuK... I think it was a bad move.


Let us assume he gets 100-150k$ in salary and his travel/living expenditures are all covered. I believe that it was the right decision for huk, the competition is fierce and I do not believe that he will be able to win nearly as much pricemoney in the next year(s).
It does not need to be fun to be fun.

i think the one thing we can learn with all the announcements today is that, idra says a lot of things.

So sad to see this happen.

I really didn't like EG to begin with and this further pushes my dislike level.

So many people hate because their opinion of the team is highly affected by the players on it and over things that the team has done or caused in the past.
EG got a lot of hate over the Puma signing. I have no opinion on that matter because of all the fuss regarding TSL and SC2CON, I believe we are being kept in the dark to far to many facts to truly judge this.
EG will also just be disliked in general by a large amount of people due to the players. Most notably of course is Idra. He BM's far too much and while some think this is cool, many do not including myself.

The hate people have for such things is easy to tell where it comes from, but it is however pointless. I personally support the players not the teams, and if Huk thinks he will get better training and a better life (ie: money) by being on a different team then I support his decision to do so, whether I like that team or not. For the record, I am not biased toward EG at all, I dont even support any of their players.

Be rational people.
You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

Him hating on Huk is pretty much an act if you pay attention closely.

He is probably pretty happy to get a Code S level protoss to grind with.

lol Reign/VT part two... I don't know if Demu is interested but I hope he'd join, he's not at a Code A level yet but with training hopefully he could get there.

Also I'm pretty sure one of the biggest reasons he left Korea was that the GSL wouldn't reschedule one of his matches so that he could go to a foreign tournament even after EG already bought the plane ticket. The new GSL schedule gives much more flexibility for players to travel as shown by them postponing Huk's group by a week and even prerecording the broadcast so Killer could make a flight.
