Sorry if this is a little late but I couldn't find a previous post about it.

It's now official: @EGSuppy will train in the EG house in Korea under @HeadCoachPark for five weeks at the end of May!

I think this will really aid in  Suppy's improvement in HOTS as well as good practice partners for the rest of the team. I understand he has been in school for the past year and it is good to hear that he is taking the utmost advantage as a player for EG.
Edit: A lot of people have been speculating whether or not this is an April Fool's joke and I honestly doubt it. It is March 31st here in the states so it would not even count as April Fools. If they really wanted to shock everyone they would have said something along the lines of "We are merging with TL" or "We have signed Ma "sAviOr" Jae Yoon and we have made a deal with Kespa to allow him to play on EG-TL in ProLeague."
Edit 2: I think the reason for Suppy going to Korea is to get a taste of what it is like and if he wants to stay there for an extended period of time perhaps during the summer. As many people have pointed out 5 weeks is a relatively short amount of time for practicing but I still think this is a smart move for Suppy.
Edit 3: response from EGIncontrol and Suppy (superiorwolf)

be mindful this is a very big sacrifice for suppy
as a premed student, you don't want to say you spent entire summer playing games Unfortunately this is so very true D:

This seems very plausible, but it's still april first in korea. The fact that it's a US announcement seems pretty legit though. Suppy is already really good, this is gonna be crazy o:
|
Sadly because of the period in time during which he made his breakout, Suppy does not get the recognition he deserves. He is indeed very skilled and this training should benefit him even more, although I wish he could stay for longer. :s

only 5 weeks? =/ stay there longer/permanently
|
If this is true (I'm still bitter over some of the April Fool's shenanigans that's been going on today), I really hope Suppy can get the most out of it! He's a fantastic player, and if he can put in the time and learn the most effective way to practice while in Korea, he'll be even better.

It's still march in the USA. Could probably ask Suppy for confirmation on twitter or something.
@Mistertea: Suppy is in college, so obviously he can't go for very long.

Berkeley gets out at the end of May so it could be legit, if it was only a TL thread I'd call fake but it's March 31st in the USA.

It's also still March in Canada, interesting huh? Many companies (Blizzard to name one) frequently makes their announcements on March 31st. The tweet says he's going during may, which is when school is off (assuming he isn't taking summer school, which he has been doing in the past), which makes it seem more real. If it is a joke, wouldn't you want it to seem real, and not blatantly obvious?
Even if I'm wrong, so what? Nothing. I'm not buying it.

I'm tempted to believe it because there's nothing funny about Suppy going to Korea.
|
The OP could have waited for a day, even if it is older news.
|
I dont think this is an april fool to be honest, even suppy retweeted it. It is like a vacation for him but at the same time a boot camp XD

That's pretty much how I feel as well.

The best april fools are the ones people actually believe, aka the plausible ones. Bomber did an april fools last year that he was going to the military. Nothing funny about that, but tons of people believed it.

I just think if EG was going to do an April Fools it would be involving one of their most popular players, not suppy. And it would be more complicated than " He's going to Korea to train during the summer break "
|
April fools are usually exciting. If I don't care if it's true or false it's not an April fools joke, sorry :/
Edit: as an exemple of how you make a bad April fools joke, here is a worse one:
"SortOf to come back from Korea and give up Code A Qualifier spot."
|
They're probably doing it because Stephano is leaving Korea.
But Suppy should really not fuck around and try to finish his studies when he still can. He's doing okay as a part time pro, and he's on EG sohis situation is golden.

Yeah it's actually one of the more believable things I think you might see today. I hope it's true.

Thier most popular players - Demuslim already said he likely will be, just not soon. Huk, well him going to korea wouldn't be anything new/special. Idra, not special either, and he has recently voiced he really isn't interested. Stephano just came back and basically said it was a nightmare. Thorzain wouldn't be news either. Machine? He has a really small fanbase, I don't think such an announcement would lift many eyes.
As someone above said, it's the plausible ones that are the better jokes, regardless of how "exciting" it is. You think it's just a coinsidence it was posted march 31/ap1?
Now of course, neither of us actually know for sure, but I can't believe it would be happening (just based on the timing, not the act itself)
