Just a few days ago, our Protoss in Korea began laddering on EU. Four days later, he hit 4k and world #1. Topping the European ladder also means that he has hit #1 on every major server at some point. HuK 1, Battle.net 0. Here's what our hero has to say.

When were Huk 1. on Korean server?

Also you cant realy say his world #1 since you cant compare points from EU with points from other servers.

Still its very awesome what he did.

I though he was #1 in Korea some week(s?) ago. Could be wrong though.

Well gl in Assembly, especially for Ret as he deserves to finally have some big success. Also just noticed that White-ra won't be in Assembly, I was so hoping to see some great Tyler/HuK vs Duckload epic action, will have to wait for TSL

EDIT:changed wording.

HuK was number 1 and was trying to get a second account to number 2 IIRC

lol I couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of Jinro's gripes concerning Tal'Darim.

He didn't like the fact that vs. Protoss, T/Z have to worry about a race that can either macro or apply extreme pressure but T/Z don't have the same advantage.

LOL welcome to how P/Z have felt about Terran on every other map since Day 1 Beta.

We all need to support AiSeiplo, he's playing very even matches against HuK, TLO, Sjow and Jimpo. He's probably getting casted at Husky's pretty soon aswell. Also, he might be looking for a new team, leaving Alien Invasion.

He just went to PokerIdol and the Takesen tournament. These tournaments aren't big enough to send our full squad so we try to vary things.

Okay, fair enough.

What? The mobility and versatility of WG mechanics is fundamentally different from what Terran's army is capable if. The only delay is the first pressure p can apply. Regardless of map size, Terran still needs to invest just as much to defend 4wg rushes.

I am so freaking excited for HuK. I've been a huge fan since last year, watching his stream every time I know it's up. I've seen phenominal progress in his play since he's been to Korea and he definatley plays at a Code S level. Very excited to see him in this tournament and the GSL!!!
