Personally, Im so very sad HuK left TL, but hey, thats business I guess..
Noone but the persons involved knows whats best.

On the other hand; very happy to hear that he will be practicing with Idra & PuMa in Korea. EG fighting!

It's funny, as a Liquid & Huk fan, I was dreading that the rumors were true. But now that it's all out, I think I might be becoming an EG fan after all. This is the way professional sports grows. When Huk's salary goes up, that's a good sign that a lot of other salaries will also go up, which is great for eSports and particularly the players.

It's one thing to be living the dream of playing as a pro gamer in Korea, but it's another to be living 6-to-a-room in a training house, traveling all the time and not in style either. These guys need to be able to game and also have a life, if this is going to be their life.

I'm thinking, though, that they need more players in that Korean house. Who's next? What kind of budget does EG have? If they haven't been in touch with oGsMC yet, I think I'd be surprised. Good friend of both Huk and Puma and already looking for outside support for his foreign travel from SK. Somebody is eventually going to offer him a salary big enough to let him marry his gf.


Very good post.

It will be interesting to see what comes together for the EG Korea house, and what happens to the Arizona house. It seems kind of standoffish to believe the AZ house can be worth while if their top players are in Korea, but there's still a ton of undisclosed information that will surely bring more light to this aspect.

Kudos to EG for negotiating correctly this time, instead of directly approaching Huk, going through the owner of TL first.

Wowza!

This is a great opportunity for EG. Now they've got Huk in their lineup, all the other foreigners on the team (heck, the resident korean as well) will be pushed to achieve his level of play. Idra, with their rivalry, will be especially pumped, since they'll see each other every day once the training house goes up. Also, by earning more, Huk has more pressure to give more to his work and to the game (not that he wasn't already).

Damn you, whenever I have to focus on work and can't get online, there is always some news on here, when I have time to check back. I think that HuK will suffer from not being able to train with oGs anymore. Idra and Puma are no sufficiant replacement as practise partners and guys you can invent new tactics with.

What? Are you retarded?

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


[quote]

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.

If something shady was going down, we more likely than not would have heard of it.
I'm not sure there's much evidence to support this assumption. This deal was all the buzz at last MLG and even before, yet the public was completely unaware until 2 days ago. Generally things get leaked but lately things haven't. Or, like the hype thread has taught us, social media has changed the way leaks are perceived and there's so much misinformation abound that we simply ignore the truth because there's so many options.

Liquid is an exemplary organization, they're not going to take parting shots.

Lol?! What kind of economic law is that? This reminds me of people trying to sell financial investment products arguing that "it goes only in one direction: up, up and up" :D

Sad although I will always be a team liquid fan, I will always be a HuK fan. I've been following HuK since the beta and I watch his stream over any other streamers. I will always be a fan and I hope you luck in the future with your new team.

Guys, stop shitting on EG. This is great news for esports, it means it's growing and we should be excited about that.

This means:
- Jinro will be the last foreigner in Liquid/oGs house.
- EG teamhouse USA will lose their best player.
- HuK wil prob. have way less training partners.
- Liquid loses the foreigner hope.
- EG challenges FXO in terms of biggest budget team. ^^

I hope the people crying 'sellout' come back to TL in a few years when they grow up and get real jobs so they can tell us how easy it was for them to turn down a once in a lifetime job offer because they are loyal to the company they have worked at for a whole year.....

Yea they could have easily approached huk with a number, then gone to nazgul so that huk was already gungho about the switch. I dont think huk would have accepted the offer or even considered if victor had just approached him saying "look EG wants you".

Im sure there was some unofficial dialogue between EG and huk before official channels were contacted.

Of course we have no way of knowing so its probably better left unsaid. EG is pretty shady though i wouldnt put it past them.

They seem to have never ever cultivated their own talent in any of their games (at least in recent years) and i cant really respect them as a team for that.
