The "I now hate EG forever" stuff is completely uncalled for though, EG hasn't done anything wrong, this was Huk's decision and it is to be respected. GL to him in his new team and I can't wait to see the success of the Korean EG triumvirate of IdrA, Huk and Puma. Glad to see the two best foreigners working together to conquer the GSL! | ||

No ill will towards anyone here, but I can't help but feel bad for Liquid. They really have been the backbone of foreign starcraft 2, bar none. And they just don't seem to have the sponsor support that all the other teams have to keep their players in tip-top shape. | ||

I think it's more frustration that EG seems to be buying so many players. Money is fairly hard to come by in Korea to the best of my knowledge, and it seems likely that's why EG seems to be recruiting players from there. It's not so much anger at EG as much as their management's recruiting methods. | ||

Tell me one sport in the world that works differently. Some teams have more money than others, welcome to real life. | ||

Both HuK and Puma were on teams that were not as wealthy as EG. And EG bought out the rest of Huk's contract and Puma was never under a contract. And thats not even the point. People are saying all EG is doing is buying players rather than growing their own. Liquid pretty much did the same thing with Sheth and Hero. You think Sheth didn't have other offers? And they bought Hero from oGs. They didn't raise either of these guys, both were well established progamers like Huk and Puma. | ||

When athletes from other sport have contracts purchased, you dont see fans disgruntled over losing a player when his contract is up to another team, just because it has more money.

I don't know what sports you watch, but in the ones that I watch, people get VERY upset at this. How many people hate the Yankees for signing players their teams can't afford? How many Arsenal fans are mad at FC Barcelona for luring Cesc Fabregas away from Arsenal? I'm cool with teams spending the money to get big contract players as long as it's done during free agency, so I don't think EG did anything wrong here, but don't act like it doesn't happen in real sports and people don't get angry about it. | ||

I understand the ire directed at EG lately, but if they can keep up injecting this level of money into eSports contracts then it can only end up being a good thing for both the players and the scene in general. | ||

There are a number of David Beckham fans (mostly female) who do not care what team he is on, they just want to see him. There are a number of Manchester United fans who support the team, and no longer care for Beckham as he's not part of the team, so they can go from love to hate very quickly. I'd say with HuK, I enjoy watching him play, and don't really care what team he is on. I haven't developed a loyal supporting for a starcraft team yet, I just have a list of players I enjoy watching. | ||

Im still going to support HuK but a bitter taste has been left in my mouth. A step back in development even if its a step forward in increase of income. | ||

All this hype for something Liquid allready had since basically Day 1 of it's existance + EG throwing so much money at a player that he would be a total retard to refuse? ... | ||

Grats to EG for signing a top notch player and shipping off some talent to korea (or reshipping as the case may be) to start up their own house. Not sure why everyone is upset but I dont have much of an opinion on that. These aren't teams in the sense that I think of them (grew up watching the broncos, will die a broncos fan) but someday they may be, just not there yet in my personal perspective. | ||
