I really agree, the article is quite bad. First of all, Taeja and Polt are not the "two of the most successful Korean Terran players in history". MVP is the first, and then you could argue MarineKing's case with his 2 MLG titles, 4 GSL 2nd place finishes and MMA with all his winnings.
HuK is just bad for a long time, starting to resemble Jinros poor run after stellar results. So HuK's recent results would pale in comparison to some other player's recent results but they don't get the benefit of the doubit because, yeah well, they're not HuK... (I like HuK btw, its just that his results are mediocre at best)
Are you reading?
The writer called Polt and Taeja two OF the most successful Korean Terran players in history. Not THE top two. Two OF the most successful, FFS.
Moreover, they were predicating HuK getting through on recent results, not how he's been doing for "a long time."
Just read.

DeMu has a really good shot. He beat TheStC 2 - 0 in Challenger, and his TvP is really sharp. I believe he can beat HuK and CranK.

Usually I agree with tl predictions, but not this time. Crank and jaedong not making it through would surprise me greatly.
Crank not making it through is unlikely... but not impossible

can we get someone else to write these please.
Have you no sense of context? It's a pretty common claim amongst Starcraft communities that American players are pretty much bound to lose to pros from other regions (not SEA) due to america having no clear strong representative. This statement about puck is just playing on the general impression of American players in a community.
Those who think the article is biased is simply butthurt, learn to have a sense of context.

I think it's phrased alright. He didn't say they are THE two most successful Korean Terrans, just among the most successful Korean Terrans, which I think is fair. Polt has his triple crown, and Taeja made GSL ro4 twice, won a few foreign tournaments and tore up a few teamleagues. I agree that Mvp, Innovation, and maybe MKP and MMA were more successful overall, but Taeja and Polt are definitely in the top 8 or so. Also, I can't understand why anyone would want to beat up on DeMuslim, bad results or no. He's just so nice. Ya I agree. I'd definitely list Polt and Taeja right after Mvp. Hell, as far as I'm concerned Innovation is still sort of proving himself. He's definitely the scariest Terran to hit the scene over the last 6 months or however long it has been but the aforementioned players have proven relevant over the course of years. If Innovation never takes another title would we remember him in a year or so as one of the most successful Korean Terrans? I'm not really sure but he has made one hell of an impression thus far.
I'd list Polt, MMA, and Innovation after MVP in terms of accomplishments. Taeja trails slightly behind them.

so common that I doesn't need to be repeated and is the single most boring and lazy way to write off a player as you could possibly come up with. never mind that the player in question has beat sage 2-1 hyun 2-1 and 2-0'd polt in a recent winners bracket no lets say ha an American nothing to see here.

Polt, Taeja, Snute or Jaedong will win this.

I feel like CranK is most definitely going to advance over HuK.

The article was fine, I dont understand where all of the haters come from o.o
Thx Wax

Really horribly write up. I guess this was purposeful - I get some of the jokes, but still.
