Idra back to korea? that is awesome. I guarantee he will improve a shit ton (and hope he streams on korea again). Going to imagine he plays in GSL again and hope he qualifies. This is excellent news, glad its not just a Huk being recruited ^_^

I find it funny that all the people who claim they will hate huk in the future just because he doesn't have TL on his shirt. If thats the only reason you liked him then I highly doubt huk gives 2 shits about your opinion.

TL gave permission for negotiations to occur. They occurred, take your ball and go home already.

Eh some anti-capitalist Europeans just don't like EG to begin with. They're going to whine about everything EG related. If SirScoots finds the cure to male pattern baldness you'll have dozens of whiners complaining that they're destroying the wig industry.

I wish people would just congratulate HuK and move on. Quit trying to cause a bunch of drama by saying he's ditching friends for money, EG "stole" him, it wasn't amicable, etc.
It was HuK's decision, and his alone. It doesn't matter if you agree with him or not, just cheer him on instead of getting all riled up for no reason at all.
The guys at Liquid have said they understand his decision, of course they wish he would stay, but life goes on. This is almost undoubtedly the best career decision for him, and its not like he's severed his relationship with any of the Liquid guys doing so. He will continue to be friends with them, but will continue to move forward for the future.

Congratulations HuK! I hope you continue to progress more as a pro-gamer and continue being the player we know and love.

It's sad how everyone is hating on EG. This would be the LAST THING HuK would want. I'm excited to see IdrA's play increase over in Korea. He needs to return to his spot as one of the best foreigners.

I respect HuK's decision, as well as EG's decision to sign him.

It's the fucking hype and the way they announced it that pisses me off. Unless you're Lebron James, you don't make this big of a deal of switching teams - because the switch is undoubtedly going to hurt people.

Acquiring a player from another team is fine. Hyping it up before it's announced is a dick move.

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.

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

EG went through the correct channels and handled this as well as possible.

Yes, that is what Alex said.

Are you implying they didn't?

I'm implying Alex is an old hand at this game, and he always has plausible deniability on his side because everyone keeps things secretive. I'm sure you would get more information if you talked to some of their ex-stars like frod or marn. Or you could just ask Slasher.

One thing I don't hold against HuK is him probably feeling abandoned by all his teammates except Jinro. Hopefully TL can pick up more players that are willing to go to Korea and stay there.

I feel like this Idra Huk Puma thing is being a bit over blown, Three guys (Maybe 4?) no matter how good is not on the same level as a pro gaming house

sure its great, but having the 3 of them in any team house would be WAY better

I think you should stop worrying about this and start thinking about what it will be like starting in grade 5 for you in a few weeks.

I wish people would stop telling others what to do. -___- It's their emotions, let them react in the way they want to.
