Its because we perceive Liquid as the endgame for a team to be in. So now when Huk moved to a rival team of a rival player, it just seems strange. This is teamliquid.net after all, so we inevitably get emotionally attached to teamliquid and the players. Players switch teams all the time, but not much drama there (drama as in fans emotions not team/league scandals and arguments).


TeamLiquid was the best forgeiner team for a while however since MLG Dallas I think it was, they have been no where near the best team, they are simply the most visible team. Although they seem to be doing ok right now


As far as foreign scene goes, TL has been by and far the most successful team since release until today. It's absurd to even argue otherwise, as no other team gets even close when it comes to major LAN tournament wins and high ranks. TL is also the only foreign team to be represented in GSL (+ regular Code S) consistently since GSL Open 1 until several days ago.

Yeah there was a slump for 4-5 months, but that's not nearly enough for other foreign teams to catch up.

I don't think it is bad that people being emotional after a big transfer like this one. It is like Messi moving from Barcelona (TL) to Real Madrid (EG), of course the fan of Barca would be emotional

I've only read the OP - but I really don't get EG at all right now. Didn't they just get a huge fucking house in arizona(?) or some shit for their gamers? Now they're sending their BEST to korea instead of having them practice with the others on the team? I obviously don't know all of the specifics but, really.

I don't get it EG.

Change is always good for the environment, much better than things going still and stale. I understand getting upset over a transfer like this though.

Yeah, HuK is "downgrading" as he receives life-changing money that will allow him to do what he wants -- very comfortably -- for a living. Total downgrade.

Hey, at least to me, it's nice to see that a change like this can cause reactions similiar to players moving around in other sports.

You could say its like when Luis Figo switched from Barca to Real Madrid and there was a huge shitstorm for a long time

Well, other than being very saddened about this, I have a question: this means HuK can no longer compete in the GSTL with oGs, right?

One question, since puma is signed to EG and EG at this second in time doesn't have a Korean house is puma able to get the code A slots from MLG?

The only 2 players of that caliber were Jinro and Huk. Now Jinro is, I believe, Code B (correct me if I'm wrong), and HuK is on EG. So really I find it hard to call TeamLiquid a powerful team.

Idra lived in korea for over 3 years, not 1-2 months.

Uhhh, you basically just said the same thing he did. Yes huk is receiving more money, but no one can deny he is downgrading his practice environment. Your kidding yourself if you think practicing with Idra and Puma, will benifit huk in anywhere near the same way as practicing with the OGS house.

He doesnt even have another protoss to discuss strategies with.

Even with puma at IEM i could tell he hasnt kept up in skill at IEM (sure he is still an amazing player who can get to the finals) but 2 months ago when he was still practicing hardcore with TSL i highly doubt someone like mana could have taken him out 2-0, especially when he took out mc in a best of 7 (i dont think anyone will tell you that mana is a better player then mc).

I dont think puma will stand a chance against mc in the finals, MC has been practicing hardcore in a team house for the past 2 months, whereas puma has been practicing (more or less) like a foreigner (online with a few practice partners). In a few months puma will be pretty irelevant at any tournament where a korean shows up, is my best guess. Same with huk. Unless of course EG is planning on recruiting a whole korean team for their training facility, wich is highly unlikely.

He is saying that idra is only planning on going back for 1-2 months. Idra said this on state of the game i beleive.

he said also that idra moved out nearly 1 year ago which is completely false

he moved out of korea few months ago, but not "nearly year ago". Hell, even sc2 has barely been year out!
