In my opinion it was very distasteful to TL to hype buying their player so much. My dislike of EG grew more as a result of this and I'm much less of a Huk fan. I still hope he keeps doing well in Korea to keep the torch up, but in foreigner vs foreigner situations I'm not rooting for him anymore.

Happy to see IdrA back in Korean, and being a Liquid and EG Fan I was afraid HuK would be coming to the EG house and losing his touch. But seeing as that's not the case I'm extremely excited to see my favorite two players along-side eachother.

I hope you guys pick up more people to train with them though.

For me, the bigger news is that IdrA is going back to Korea. Can't wait to see him compete again in the GSL. Maybe it'll be worth buying a pass again?

Very very interesting, so the rumors were true. I couldn't imagine it at first but congrats to HuK and EG.

Great news. Grats on new team Huk. Also cool to hear that EG will be setting up a team house in Korea for their aces.

Really hope all the EG haters will see reasonably at this. EG handled the transaction perfectly. And if Huk wants to join a new team its up to him... if you are a fan nothing should change.

Duh

EG pulls Idra from korea because there's more money in the western world, then they send him back? What about the EG house in NA? Will the KR based team be the A team and the NA based team the B team?

EG has always wanted to sign Huk. If you think EG is stealing Huk, maybe you should think that Liquid really just stole Huk in the first place. Which is ridiculous... just like thinking EG stealing huk, is ridiculous.

Huk chose to go to EG and TL made a bit of change from EG buying out huks contract, so if you want to say it's 'money money money' then you could say TL has the same attitude... which again, is ridiculous both ways.

Glad to see there's competition for these players, and that they have a real value. I'm excited to see idra go back to korea but a bit worried about him sticking to roach/hydra in zvp ;/

Meh..
I don't like the way EG make things. First Puma, now HuK. Movement i don't really like.

Happy to see Idra going back to Korea tho. Since he was in USA, his level was decreasing more and more.

Idra to Korea and HuK to EG: Interesting announcement tbh. I feel good about this as a fan though. I hope Idra and Huk can live together.

Just wait pretty soon we'll find out that ten other players have been bought out by EG they'll own them all.

Even though I am sad to see Huk leave TL, I am happy that both parties had an admirable exchange and it resulted in the best outcome for Huk overall. I think EG will now have a good lineup compared to other teams and practice in Korea is only a good thing.

GL Huk and EG.
