Q : You are ranked number one in the European server, how do you compare Europe server against Korean server?

Huk : It only took me four days to be high ranked in Europe. Korean players practice more and play more solid styles. If any players who play on Korean ladder, I think they could be high ranked in European server.


-> Well obviously it only takes him a few days to be really high ranked on a server with a huge bonus pool when he is really good to begin with. DIMAGA, MaNa or any other top EU player could easily start a new account on US and get near 4000 or more in a few days if they grind the ladder. Thats just how the system works.


Doesn't everyone have the exact same amount of bonus pool points?

But I do agree with him that the Koreans are a bit more solid, not saying they are WAY WAY better than EU players, since I think the TOP Eu players can compete with Koreans. In FXOpen we saw Koreans dropping games left and right to not even really big names. And I'm aware that those were not MKP, MVP, NaDa etc, but still.

well thats what he is saying, in another interview he stated, that NA<EU<KO meaning, that players in europe are harder to beat, than in north america, and players in korea are even harder to beat. And he is from north america himself, trained there, learned to play there etc. He is saying, that players in korea train harder, and has a better result at the end. Mana, Dimaga, TLO etc can play well against good players, but MKP, MVP etc in the bo11 can destroy any of em with no chances.

Revival looked really solid in his games. HuK is gonna have his hands full in his next match.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

YES GO HUK

Woohoo, now we just need the other 3 foreigners to make it through and it'll be all good. Revival will be a tough match, but I think HuK has the ability to win.

Huk doesnt sound that cocky in the interview. People keep complaining about his attitude and such but I think that they should really understand that people have different personalities on and off stage. Just saying...

I still disagree with the ceremony he did. Wasn't really that cool =).

Uh, nice picture of Huk? He certainly looks scary and imposing...

Anyways, nice interviews. Losira is really onto something with that insight into his baneling play. Perhaps banelings can be a viable answer to the dreaded Protoss death ball. Also, fascinating to see Huk dealing with some nerve issues in the GSL. Hopefully, he can overcome them like oGsMC did so that we can get some even better play out of him, which he'll need in his next match against the mini-FruitDealer TSL.Revival.

I don't think MKP could destroy DIMAGA in a Best of 11 "with no chances". Just ridiculous to say. I'd say a MorroW for example trains equally hard and his greedy style would fit the Korean style really well ;-)

Well unless Lalush improves his ZvT in a hurry, Koreans are going to take the top 3 spots in FXOpen. Just saying.

Top players play even tho their bonus pool is empty. That is why for instance when Naniwa started a new account (called Meatyowllegs) he got first in the world to 3k points.
Now HuK starts playing again on an acc he hadnt maxed out on the pool to begin with, and he reaches 4k.
It's how the bonus pool works. If pro players cared about the ladder, they wouldn't play at all when the bonus pool reached zero.
