I think what people are pissed off about was the "top 3 control in the world" line from Huk (which I personnally never heard directly, just hear-say on TL) and the "I'm going to be the next Lim Yo Hwan" line. I think this is why people label him "cocky". I for one couldn't care less, he's in code S, good for him, time to prove everyone he has what it takes. And if he can't, well, does that mean he's bad? The only 2 foreigners who have shined in GSL *EVER* are Jinro and IdrA, maybe Sen to a lesser extent, so who here can say with a straight face Huk is bad? | ||

I mean, hey, it sucks and all that Leenock got the most difficult group, but SOMEONE had to get it. Are you going to say the exact same thing when Sangho has to go up against Zenio and Boxer? Or Alicia against MVP and Genius? Do you think that Leenock could beat MVP and Genius if him and Alicia were switched? After all, he lost of Genius in the previous season. Remember, Leenock is in this position in the first place because he lost against Genius and Rainbow in the group match last season, and then lost to both Byun and LiveForever in the up&down. This season he lost to Losira or he'd have been able to choose his opponents (and we assume he wouldn't have chosen Nestea and MKP because, uh, he's not crazy). I guess my point is that at this point an argument can be made for more than the 32 players allowed in Code S. Not everyone is going to be able to make it in and in some cases it can be as a result of bad luck. However, every season is going to see more incredibly strong Code A players (perhaps Bomber next season?) pushing out some of the questionable Code S players. Very soon every up/down group is going to look rather stacked. I do think Leenock would have murded Genius. That guy is a talented slacker, and leenock`s a talented hard worker. | ||

You could be right and I'd have been happy to see that. I'm only saying this because Genius is one of the guys who put Leenock in Code A in the first place. | ||

Everytime a foreigner loses it's because he "got a bad draw". What do you expect? To make it to the round of 8 by beating baddies? You're eventually gonna run into good players no matter what. I personally don`t care for foreigners myself, but saying huk`s not good enough to be at least Code S is hilarious. The guy focus on the game is a testament to why he is worthy of the prize. Maybe, he`s not asian enough for you, maybe? Nao, he cant win Code S next Season, but he lost to LosirA, to me a better Zerg then Nestea. He lost against the winner of the tournament, what`s the shame about it? Squirtle lost to Socke and im pretty sure Squirtle is a much superior player. And by the way, Revival is a very great player. He fucked up, but he`s a great player. I firmly believe that he`ll make it to the round of 8 next season. Some players grow with the competition that are around them. It`s called Evolving. Huk is probably more than able to evolve with the competition. People praying on huk`s downfall just because they wish they had the chance to do the same thing. Sad stuff. | ||

And poor Leenock. He deserves a place in Code S. I hope the kid doesnt give up, he`s talented. Hopefully these close victories and the expierence will give him more confidence in the booth, he will need it for Code S. I'm still happy that he made it though. I don't worry about Leenock, that fella is still young, he is not quite there yet I think. | ||

As for leenock, now that's just sad, leenock is a superb player, he just got an incredibly stacked group. Best ZvZ player in the world followed by 2 time finalist of the GSL. Just epic bad luck there. | ||

Tasteless: It's always fun when you get to see somebody who's put on camera and they have to make that face of like well this is what I would probably try to want to look like if I was put on TV and I'm not entirely sure if it's the right face for me. Artosis: That's not what I do Tasteless. I make a pistol with my hand and I point it at the camera. That's what I do. There's gifs of it. | ||

Anyways, congratulations to everyone who advanced or remained in Code S. I'm very glad NesTea and MKP made it through, I am a big fan of both. | ||

He's not asian enough for me? I don't have anything against white people. Jinro is a skilled, talented, humble guy. I like him. Huk hasn't proven anything special is all. I don't have anything against him personally (besides the stuck up attitude sometimes). Saying I wish I could have the same chance is a stupid insult. I play this game for fun, I'm not playing for a living. I couldn't care less about being a top player. For me personally, if he fixes the attitude and shows strong play, then I have no reason to not like him. | ||

Does he have some sort of nerves preventing him from performing to the best of his abilities? I have always pictured him as a better player but from what he has shown so far he seems to be slipping. I could perhaps be being too critical, but he just seems to get walked over so much. I watched all the games aside from where the stream crashed and it seemed like he was behind in every single one, the only one I saw him win was with the switch to DTs while he was behind for the win. Again, I like HuK, I'm just concerned. Is he better than he is showing? Is he getting used to playing high profile matches? | ||
