Which is totally pointless, as they basically said multiple teams were approaching him anyway. He said us as in the TL organization, not him specifically. The point is, don't say you received permission from Nazgul and then talked to Huk when Nazgul knew nothing about it until the very end when the agreement was almost complete. It's just to make yourself look better. | ||

Is this just an innate dislike of EG then? I think EG is telling the truth and kennigit is then not tleling the truth to make EG look bad. Does that make me more right? No it doesn't since again neither side has proof. | ||

You're right there's no proof but I believe Kennigit because EG has bypassed management/staff to talk with players directly in the past before. | ||

Ret already made it quite clear he would move for the right deal and that he wouldn't mind training in Korea if the people in the house are to his liking .. that would be interesting..  Hrmmm.. | ||

Liquid' gave Huk the okay to talk to people, he talked to EG; when the arrangements were close to complete EG talked to Liquid'. That seems reasonable to me. | ||

My advice is to just forget the whole thing. Its meaningless to discuss it now because the only thing that's going to remain standing is Huk is a member of EG. The details will get foggy and eventually forgotten but Huk will still be representing team EG. It may be bitter now but I think bigger and better things are coming for everyone, TL, EG, Esports in general. | ||

I believe EG is telling the truth here So you're using a statement made by EG as justification as to why you believe EG is telling the truth? Let's just say we have different opinions.

Not questioning if it's reasonable. It's simply a matter of EG describing a process that took place which apparently didn't in an attempt to preserve their image.

With his Liquid contract expiring, we decided that we didn't want to spend another year looking in from the outside. After receiving permission from Victor "Nazgul" Goossens, the owner of Liquid, we entered negotiations with HuK, and quickly came to a verbal agreement. No where does EG claim they received the permission from Nazgul. That sentence could easily mean Huk received permission. With Huk coming to the end of his contract, he probably had a good amount of teams contacting him and Huk then probably went to Nazgul asking for permission to negotiate with other teams. Quite frankly thats how it should be. Its the players decision and no laws or contracts were broken. | ||

Funny how people can take a quote out of context, the very next tweet kennigit said that it was 100% fine with a few things that could have been done different but weren't really relevant to the final outcome. All he was implying was that EG worded it slightly wrong. | ||

In other sport scenes, it dosnt happen. And it shouldnt happen in this one either. You're joking, right? This happens in EVERY sport. When the "rich" team spends a lot of money to take away your home team's best players, you get PISSED. Everyone does. It's natural. It looks like your team is doing all the hard work and those rich, entitled assholes over there just throw money at him and steal him away. People hate the Yankees in baseball for this exact reason. That anyone would be surprised that fans of HuK/Liquid resent EG for "stealing" Liquid's best player astounds me. It's like they've never seen how sports fans act or even been one themself. All of this said, it's hard to fault either EG or HuK. EG has gobs of money but doesn't have the level of player internally to spend it upon. Therefore, they go after super-successful (and in HuK's case, extremely marketable) players from other teams. It makes business sense. From HuK's perspective, he presumably is getting significantly more money from EG than Liquid could have provided him. He also gets to stay in Korea and do GSL along with whatever else he gets. Sounds like a good decision for HuK from a business perspective. It's not clear whether the new team situation will help or hurt him practice/future success-wise or whether he'll be more of less happy in the new situation, but given that ESPORTS isn't the most stable long-term career, it doesn't seem like that bad of an idea to try to cash in when you have the chance. To conclude, what's wrong with fans of the team who just had their player "stolen" resenting the team that did it? That's just how sports/fandom works. Doesn't mean EG or HuK did anything wrong; it's just how things work. | ||
