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


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

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.


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.

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 ><.


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.

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


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.

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......


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.

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.


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



So Liquid stole Huk (as well as all their other players) when they signed him a year ago? And no I've never heard steal used in that way, that's retarded.


I thought huk was a free agent? And anyways I don't think you're getting it lol.


you've really never heard steal use that way? how old are you?

we're at the store buying cucumbers. there is one cucumber left. you see it. I run up and grab it. you: "you stole that cucumber right out from me.".


we're at an auction, we both want a puma doll. some guy bids 10 thousand. you make a gigantic bid, 5 million!

"100 billion!", I shout. I stole the puma doll from you.


Ever heard of ebay? A lot of stealing going around on that site. Seriously, an auction process is not considered as stealing.


okok, you're right. no more figurative use of language. we have to be very very strict with our language so that people don't argue over obvious meanings.

If he was a free agent how could they fucking steal him. That's your word, not mine. You say it's semantics when in reality it's just you using a charged word to try and further discredit a team you dislike.


What? Are you retarded?

Huk was a free agent when liquid signed him... not when EG took him from liquid, lol

And if someone beat me at an auction that's not stealing, that's winning an auction you buttfrustrated little boy (Sorry, thought I should bring age into it too). That analogy was weak.


apparently you are too dumb to understand that words have multiple meanings and don't always have to be used 100% literally



Words can have multiple meanings but they in no way stole Huk from Liquid. All you're going to do is argue in circles about a words meaning when you know (unless you're retarded) you're using it wrong.

I misunderstood what you meant about Huk being a free agent, but my point still stands. Every player that has transferred to another team was stolen by your logic. Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

travis is really mad that arguably THE best foreigner getting on a new team is hyped?

Is it because it's on this website? Is only TL allowed to hype stuff here, being a monopoly on the SC2 community viewership?


You don't see how it lacks tact to gloat over your gains when it's someone else's equal loss and there was nothing they could do to prevent it?

I love how stupid what you say is considering team liquid did nothing to censor the hype.

All this faux-bleeding-heart crap for TL is simply ridiculous, if anything, TL has always made it clear that they place a significant amount of importance on growing the scene and providing an accessible means with which to release hype and information, hence, the unparalleled TL forums. The fact that TL did nothing to censor these announcements ought to speak for itself.

In professional sports, a free agent is a player whose contract with a team has expired and who is thus eligible to sign with another club or franchise.
Hence Huk was not a free agent...

.......what? HuK's contract with Liquid expired, hence why they were trying to negotiate new terms/salary etc. EG picked up HuK AFTER his contract with liquid expired and he WAS a free agent.

Nausea-inspiring. My only hope is that HuK crushes Idra so horribly and repeatedly in practice that Idra retires.

Seriously though, this is just sad. Talk about selling out.

Read the post again. EG bought out the remainder of HuK's contract. His free agency should be irrelevant, since it never occurred.

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


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.

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......


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?



So Liquid stole Huk (as well as all their other players) when they signed him a year ago? And no I've never heard steal used in that way, that's retarded.


I thought huk was a free agent? And anyways I don't think you're getting it lol.


you've really never heard steal use that way? how old are you?

we're at the store buying cucumbers. there is one cucumber left. you see it. I run up and grab it. you: "you stole that cucumber right out from me.".


we're at an auction, we both want a puma doll. some guy bids 10 thousand. you make a gigantic bid, 5 million!

"100 billion!", I shout. I stole the puma doll from you.


If he was a free agent how could they fucking steal him. That's your word, not mine. You say it's semantics when in reality it's just you using a charged word to try and further discredit a team you dislike.


What? Are you retarded?

Huk was a free agent when liquid signed him... not when EG took him from liquid, lol



And if someone beat me at an auction that's not stealing, that's winning an auction you buttfrustrated little boy (Sorry, thought I should bring age into it too). That analogy was weak.


apparently you are too dumb to understand that words have multiple meanings and don't always have to be used 100% literally


In professional sports, a free agent is a player whose contract with a team has expired and who is thus eligible to sign with another club or franchise.
Hence Huk was not a free agent...

.......what? HuK's contract with Liquid expired, hence why they were trying to negotiate new terms/salary etc. EG picked up HuK AFTER his contract with liquid expired and he WAS a free agent.

Yep I'm retarded, sorry.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

EG had to buy out HuK's remaining contract, so the liquid contract wasn't expired.

You're the one who's butthurt. People have been using rape for years as a common term and you're having fits over steal?
Get over yourself.


It's the context it's used in. You should take your own advice.

Seriously though, this is just sad. Talk about selling out.

I really hope that EG is going to have something a bit more substantial set up in Korea than just 3 guys in an apartment. Regardless I think this is exciting news and HuK deserves it.
