Now, think about it objectively. Liquid offers you about 28K a year. EG offers you about 110K a year. Sure you can say anything about the love you have for Liquid, but when you have to think about your wellbeing and the fact that you are on a timer since not many SC pros keep playing efficiently past 30, you have to come in, make a splash and cash out as fast as possible. HuK, I salute you. I am a Liquid fan and not an EG fan, but because of you I'll follow more the EG team. You did the right thing and you have to take care of yourself and your wellbeing. Grats. | ||

However, whats not cool, is to hype this for 4 days - Every audioclip of this 'mystery' site is a spit in the face of my favorite team - It's cool that you got HuK now EG - But don't fucking hype it up like this, get some fucking class. With all sincerity, Fuck you EG Good luck HuK, gonna miss you in that blue shirt man  | ||

Maybe you should rethink what you just wrote exactly. and plus when idra signed the contract, he was the best foreigner and was in korea. I have a feeling Idra is making more than we all thought. Quite frankly I don't know if Huk is truly getting 6 figures, but its high. And so is Idra's salary. Dude is arguably the most popular player in all of sc2. | ||

Lost a little more respect for EG, but thats just my opinion, so no one get offended over it. Mistake by Liquid? How could they have affected Huk's decision to go to EG when even Nazgul said: The last few weeks were the negotiation period of Huk's contract. We had known since a few months ago that it would be a difficult period. Coming off winning championships at Dreamhack and HSC, and with a legion of fans supporting him, it was obvious that there would be a lot of interest in acquiring HuK. For us, this meant making him an offer that we felt would rival any other offer that we thought could be made. To the furthest extent our finances would allow, we tried to keep HuK with the team. HuK, too, wanted to stay very much. He loved being a part of Liquid, and was willing to stay with us for significantly less than other teams. However, the offer that he received from EG wasn't just significant, it was potentially life-changing. | ||

Puma is great, Idra too, but Huk is leaving a big hub of extremely skilled players behind. But I trust Huk knows what he is doing | ||

I can accept that HuK is leaving Liquid, even though Liquid has been my favorite foreign team since forever, because of the way it happened with Nazgul's blessing and hopefully with a transfer fee.

Oh, what's that? You want more? Okay. Coming soon: An announcement. From their youtube video, at the bottom of the description. They really have a love for announcements, don't they. | ||

As for the Huk / Idra controversy, well they are both professionals and I'm sure they will find a way to cooperate in the best way possible. Perhaps they won't be roommates in Korea right from the start but I'm sure they'll make it work. EG congratulations with your pick-up and Huk, may you lose every match against a TL member  ps. and for everybody who is angry about the hype EG put on it: Grow some balls. If your favorite sports team has the opportunity to do something like this they sure as hell will do it. Most teams don't take the risk of stalling the announcement because they are afraid it will leak and they lose all initiative but EG chose to do so to being able to announce it with their return to Korea. I think every team out there is hoping to do something similar if the other party is mannered enough to cooperate. | ||

Sure say what you can about "family" and "team spirit" and "brotherhood". But if you can surely tell me that you wouldn't change your team tag for making 5 or 7 times as much as you did before, you are the exception and not the rule here. | ||

 If its only puma, huk and idra training together, man that would be the most awkward house ever, I can't picture those 3 getting along that well especially since puma doesnt speak english. On the bright side, I could see a reality comedy sitcom deal if its just those 3 living together, awkwardness, nerd fights, korean not understanding anything, good times. PS I think its time to cut some dead weight, machine, axslav etc aren't gonna do anything at the rate they're going. | ||
