Your post completely avoided speaking of the teams he was in when he was still a paria. It's great to make yourself look like a hero but it's not as simple as that.

You have no idea how excited and proud to say I watched his growth from my computer, over countless hours of his stream/gsl/general tournaments and be able to watch him win in my hometown of Orlando. The smile on my face was forced, I was standing on my chair during his award ceremony.
Huk is the reason I got into SC2.

Excellent read, Thanks HB.

I remember back in the early beta days seeing this guy "GoSuHuK" (I think that was the capitalization) come in my stream chat and talk to me, and I remember thinking he was just another random scrub at the time. I saw his rise in fame in beta, even got to play a series against him in the TL Invitational. I started realizing how dedicated he was and respect for him grew in my mind

Then I got to meet him at MLG DC, see how much of a baller he is, and the rest is history :D

The selfish side in me almost wishes I could go back to the way things were, when I could chill with HuK and things felt more "real." Nowadays since he's so big it's hard to get time to hang out with him, and fans are always everywhere at events coming up to him. Obviously it's better for him and I'm so happy he has been able to accomplish his dream, but it does bring up some nostalgia from 2010.

<3 you chris :')

Imo a lot of people still feel the connection between HuK and Liquid. I remember Day9 casting a game at MLG Orlando "...and Liquid.HuK doing ... uhm I mean EGs HuK..." Hard work pays off - HuK is the perfect example for that. gl in the future for him and for Liquid.

Liquid will always be THE foreign team in my opinion and HuK certainly seems to be THE foreign player so it is a bummer that they aren't together but right now I am more interested in any foreigner winning a GSL, whether they have Liquid, EG, or any of the other foreign team name before their handle doesn't concern me.
