It's a good move by EG, now they have a good base for a strong team having a strong player for each race, and also playing in the best environment. Good luck

Maybe Idra will practice harder now that he sees HuK practicing, lol?

Disappointing to see HuK leave Liquid, but hopefully it will turn out well for him. GL HuK! ^_^

Liquid did everything Huk wanted. They sent him everywhere he went, supported him in Korea, gained him a lot of fans, and this is how he repays them. What class!

I hope I never have to meet you in real life Alex, your face would probably meet my fist.

And I wonder what other members of EG think of this? You build a training facility, the first of its kind in NA, and you suddenly have all your best members go back to Korea instead of train there? I guess for EG the task of building an AMERICAN team that can compete with the Koreans was one too daunting.

I think they bought one year off Liquid.
Probably meant that his contract allowed them to buy him off now

Well, this really sucks. I can't see HuK winning or getting better at PvPs, same as I can't see Puma continuing to improve. End of the line for me, my dislike of EG outweighs my like for HuK

EG are a bunch of poachers
It's a shame to see HuK leave TL like that.
As much as I like Huk, Karma will get him and the rest of Team EG.

......guess someone from EG can actually win now.

Go go EG. Obviously this is a TL site so there will be bias but this was HuK's choice so nobody can say shit about EG. Unless they think it is EG's fault for trying to become a better team.

My immediate reaction is "so what?" because I fail to see what this will truly change. He'll play just as well as ever, he'll still be the same good ol' HuK we know and love. Still, if EG is truly the best thing for HuK, then I wish him the best and I hope that at the least he'll continue to be good friends with those in Team Liquid. EGHuK hwaiting!

Guess I will not be a big Huk fan as I used to be or even turn out to be an anti Huk now. But Its good to see Idra is returning to Korea

.
GL and HF EG, I hope all this big money is worth it in the end.

Everyone knows that players have no rights and can't make any decisions by themselves.

The american house will still continue after the korean house opens right? I feel like that's a huge step in the right direction giving the american based players a place to seriously practice. Also IdrA going back to Korea is great, he has been rather lackluster lately.

Happy for HuK as he truly deserves the best for the hard work he has done. Sad for Liquid because they deserve an equally awesome player as HuK.

But can we assume that EG will play in the GSTL?
PuMa/IdrA/HuK and then atleast 2 more players needed then.
