How the hell could a pro like HuK, especially one more micro and control focused instead of super tactical 1.5 hour game every time he plays on shakuras like a few people (i doubt he would do that even if he was terran) be D+? Ive seen people play at that level and it is pretty horrible to watch | ||

I think Huk is the only name SC2 player to not have previously played another RTS (BW or War3) at a high level, so that sounds about right. As far as I know, Huk's RTS experience came from Company of Heroes. He was held in high regard in that community and his replays were downloaded quite a bit. He achieved "expert" which is considered top level. Edit: Just a random factoid | ||

I'm not sure a TvT, especially one that involves Idra, is the greatest idea for something that's supposed to be an entertaining showmatch  | ||

And mostly because it was both their main in BW. But more generally the idea of a HuK Idra BW showmatch makes my inner fangirl giggle. | ||

LOL only Hunters would make it go for 4 hours. I'm expecting 2 hours if it were Judgment Day or Grand Line. :p | ||

Seriously though, it was really exciting when Boxer repelled that early HuK push and when HuK's zealots were diving in to cause friendly fire. | ||

I don't remember what it was though, I think it was a one or two base timing that killed boxer while he was expanding? My memory is very vague. It was a 10/15 gate on some map that was REALLY good for it. | ||

Ranks on iccup were a lot harder than on sc2. Given that the community is/was significantly smaller (and is shrinking even more now sadly), there was something like ~10 people ranked A or higher. I'd personally say getting A on iccup is probably equivalent, or harder to top 8 GM in a division. Wonder why my B- (given it was for 2 days) didn't translate into SC2 gosu | ||
