Mistake by Liquid? How could they have affected Huk's decision to go to EG when even Nazgul said:

Stealing? Both teams throw what they had at Huk, who really deserves this after what he have accomplished.

Aren't you glad teams are stepping up and compete for the players? Its a pretty nice spot for the player I must say, to have such choices.

I was atleast thrilles cause of this, really shocked, I never thought that Huk would join forces with EG. The 3 days hyping worked for me

Anyone else think that Team Liquid willingly allowed EG to hype up this exchange for the benefit of the scene in general? If anything, it makes TL look even more awesome, as they are willing to allow fellow foreigner teams to hype up player acquisitions and overall create buzz? And again, one "steals" property, Huk is not going nowhere against his will.

Well it's also the announcement that IdrA is going back to Korea and that they're setting up a team house there. But I think noone expected a 600 page thread full of hype ><.

If liquid was signing idra, wouldn't they hype it for several days at least?

No it's the signing of a new player. Should not matter which team he is on, plus they went about it the right way (contacting Naz). Can't see how that's scumbaggy. Plus they were also hyping that and IdrA back to Korea and the EG Korea house......

How did they steal him? They literally did this the best way possible. It is EG I guess and people are always irrational in their hate when it comes to them.

Like I said, of course they will stay in contact, but in a different way than actually living in the oGs house. When you're part of a team, you try to come up with new insights and strategies while keeping these secret for the other teams. This is basically the way how you prepare for a high-level tournament like the GSL. Now, when HuK is leaving the house, these specific insights that MC or Inca might come up with will not be given to HuK, probably only to a lesser extent. So, it still is a bad situation because your practise possibilities will become smaller.



Indeed, although I can't blame HuK for trying to make more money with Starcraft 2. However, I wonder if he will be able to keep his current shape while living in a new house with only two people to practise with. Without a coach or great new insights. Especially because Idra needs to do a lot in order to even reach the average level of the Korean Zerg players and we haven't seen a lot of PuMa in the Korean tournements. However, having a history of Flash's trainingspartner should give us some hope

OK, I think EG is going to steal 2 or 3 more great players before the year is done hopefully..Honestly the biggest news of all this is EG going to Korea

EG, please poach thorzain, naniwa and another korean or two, send over demuslim if he wants to go. Hire someone like milkis who can speak english and korean as a manager and setup a real korean house then enter GSTL. You'll have tons of fans then

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.

stealing is semantics. they bought him out. they used capabilities liquid couldn't match, it could be argued that's stealing - "taking by force".




willingly? what does that mean. if you are asking if nazgul was happy about them hyping up the taking of his star player then no.



I guess that's true but I think it's purposeful planning by EG so they can hype both at the same time, knowing that hyping just the taking of huk would be incredibly rude. Actually on second thought maybe that isn't purposeful planning because that still sounds like something EG would do.



Maybe if he was a free agent who was looking for a team. If liquid nabbed a member of another team by buying them out (like that would happen) - they would have some tact about how they announce it.



What does that mean? If they talked to naz it was just so they could buy out his contract, but I don't see how that has anything to do with how they announce it.




It's semantics. You've never heard "steal" used that way?
