So, I was entering MLG when I got a glimpse of Huk with Select, Haypro and maybe a few others. Regardless I witnessed a very strange exchange. Huk gave his word to a fan that he would deliver a magic coon hat from Louisiana to Jinro to bring him luck in the GSL. It thought it was strange but Huk gave his word that the hat would be delivered. So kudos to Huk for being awesome.

Anyways this blog post is to hopefully document that transit of the magic coonskin hat?

Edit: changed coon hat to coonskin hat also added a picture.

I'm pretty sure if Jinro wore a coonskin cap during the GSL he'd be basically unstoppable. I mean his beanie is sweet, but it's no dead animal.

Raccoons are CUTE. Cuteness is the key to Starcraft victory. Who are some CUTE AS HELL successful progamers? Think about it:

Lee "Fucking" Jaedong
Zero
Marineking
Bisu
NaDa
MC(I just wanna pinch his chubby lil cheeks)

He needs cuteness.

Racoons are pretty fuckin vicious, and they carry rabies. We have those things tear through peoples garbage around here a lot and nobody really wants to get near them. they get shot a lot though.

Outward cuteness, disarming, deceptive.

Inner viciousness that takes opponent by surprise and leaves lasting trauma.

I see no reason to veto a coon hat.

pretty sure you need to call it the full "coonskin" hat, or else it sounds weird D:

Perhaps, Huk put the hat on in the bathroom and it brought him the mythical powers to hallucinate void rays causing his opponent to abruptly exit the game? Huk?

Now that EVERYONE has seen the power of the coonskin hat that Huk now has in his possession i don't think we should be worried about Jinro anymore. My fear is now that Huk has the hat it's gonna turn into some LOTR type situation where he just doesn't even mention it to Jinro and he starts wearing it in private.

Or Huk just hallucinates the coonskin hat and gives one to everyone on team Liquid and everyone wins.

:D

So you are saying there was magic in that old coon hat they found? And when Huk put it on his head the zealots danced around?

Updated with chat log proof that Jinro did receive the hat. Now we just need to get him to wear it to the GSL perhaps as a celebration?

I found it combines very well with the top hat Minchul came home from Denmark with.

Jinro i cannot put into words the honor it would be to see you stroll into the GomTV studio, walk into the booth, put the hat on and then proceed to crush everyone. It would throw whoever you playing off their game so hard, the Internet begs you.

Did you see the video where Huk's friend almost beat me up for giving the hat to him?
