To be fair, EG's SC2 division survived way longer than expected, in this way they helped him a lot.

In this case I don't think it's a super unfair headline.


But imagine he was Terran or Zerg o.O

he pretty much disappeared from the sc2 scene. at least incontrol still streamed and casted events and stayed relevant in the community. i don't think eg has an overwatch squad. if they did he might still be on the team as a caster.

I really don't understand how a guy who was collecting paychecks despite not even competing anymore for years can be salty about his contract expiring and not being renewed. I mean all these years and he has only managed 47k twitter followers?

1. How do you know he's getting payed anything significant during periods of inactivity?
2. He's not salty about not getting renewed, he's upset about the way they went about it.
3. 47k twitter followers is quite a lot.

Was announced a few weeks ago (along with Alliance).

Well, he had a contract, right? I don't think there could be any special conditions for periods of inactivity or smth. You ethier fulfill the terms and conditions of a contract and get payed for that, or get it terminated, i guess.

Very sad, but like most early WOL pro's slipped away over time - would be great to see a smaller indie team support him in sc2 but it seems that overwatch is his new passion (which is a huge shame).

I love huk for ever for hallucinated collusi, but for the last year+ he hasn't really done anything to justify a salary. I mean hes maybe casted some overwatch, but thats the most notable thing hes done in awhile.

JD felt more successful as an SC2 player when he was flying around the world with EG in 2013/2014

HuK sounds pretty damn entitled. EG keeping him and the remainder of the sc2 "team" around as long as they did could be framed as a donation. Sc2 viewership in the toilet and HuK years away from being competitively relevant certainly leaves EG with very little reason to keep him around. I imagine his salary is a lot less than before, but it was still weird.

47k twitter followers is not exactly the basis for a career.

The guy has hardly streamed or been relevant since WoL, I'm not sure why he's disappointed about anything, the guy pretty much got paid to do nothing.

On top of this he was always a low tier foreigner, never competitive on the scene even against other foreigners.

Best of luck to you HuK, nothing against you but meh, you should have retired years ago.
