If HuK finally accepts your offer to take him out and show him around Seoul, let him know that he still has a lot of fan support! Someone on TS yesterday mentioned that EG is recruiting "results," and I somewhat agree, I think what they need is a solid professional coach that can command respect from the players (even IdrA) and keep individual egos in check. | ||

It's been a recurring comment, even since before it was announced even if you check the hype thread. But of course people will call HuK a sellout and even a traitor. If you've got real caring fans, you will get passionate responses... sure most are probably just fans of good SC2 or exciting esports in general, but for those who care about stars and team affiliations - negative comments will be typed and some would even argue that's the way it should be in a competitive scene. | ||
