What a good ending to my year Tyty. I wish OSL will start back up soon... at least I can watch more SPL

I shed a few manly tears, the empror playing in all his glory... Glad i saw this thank you!

pretty fun match, for the sc2 community if anything, i'm pretty sure both players were fucking around anyway

THATS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT STARCRAFT!
Ok so this might be a silly question but was Boxer A or A+ (if there is such a thing) ?

BoxeR transcended the ranking system. I'm pretty sure he hit Olympic on iCCup smurf accounts from what I remember, but he's one of the greatest BW players of all time and can't really be ranked on the same scale as a B- 
edit: Olympic being higher than A+

Actually An A+ player would be something like a "Colonel" in military rank. Then Boxer is the Emperor

Boxer was way past ICCUP. Most progamers are. (edit: WERE, before they started playing a game where 100 APM makes you gosu)
|
HuK def not A rank.
Most likely B/B+, since he tried to 2base vs 2base on LT in PvT, no A rank would do that.

Actually... Quite a few progammers played on iCCup each season.

I love watching BW games! The emphasis on mechanics and APM management is what I see (as a casual BW viewer) as the defining difference between the two games.
At any rate, It's good to see SC2 casters bringing BW into the spotlight.

Didn't HuK say he hotkeys 0 to Nexus and P for probe in SC2 because of BW in a Day9 daily?

i think that i'd probably do the same, anything other than 0p9p is just so...unnatural.

He was a Bonjwa. For a time, he was the undisputed best BW player in the world.

You think that's crazy? ForGG doesn't hotkey his production buildings. He actually goes back to his base every 30 seconds and builds out of them individually like in BW.

If I remember correctly, Huk said it himself that he was like B- player (which is still pretty awesome), but not quite an A- player. All A rank players were pretty known in foreign BW community. Besides that, there were also a few blunders in HD Starcraft's cast (like saying you couldn't OBS games in BW and had to be a Terran player and lift your c&c to obs), but all is forgiven because seeing such a popular figure in SC2 community cast some BW action again is damn awesome! + Show Spoiler +More on topic, Huk had that game. If only he handled the Boxers 2nd drop better while he was attacking and didn't lose like 20 probes to only couple of vults and a tank (to be honest, I would've lost just as many probes myself vs Boxer lol). Still, pretty fun game. Would be really nice to see more showmatches like these  Last I knew, Huk was D+... I remember playing him a few times and I never dropped a game to him. I was C+ max... 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
Meh, if HuK is Nex-Retribution then I remember playing him back in the day and he wasn't that great... bare in mind this was probably close to 4 years ago.
Not hating on HuK, but around the time I quit playing BW he wasn't that great... still though if he practiced a bunch and what not and was coached by TT1, then I could see him rising up to a higher rank... why not?
It's cool to say you beat a pro gamer way back in the day, but it really doesn't mean much lol. Just shows you how far they've come and... makes you ask what you've been doing with your life haha.

Old habits must die hard; is he still faster at doing that than people who use hotkeys?
