I want Huk in Code S =B so badly. IMO Huk has a GREAT chance to be the first every non korean to win In Korea. Jinro's Awesome and proves himself every year. But come on Huk = 1st on NA, EU, Korean Server for ladder. That's gotta mean something.

If you watch his stream you see him face Top players almost game after game.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the set up here:

Huk plays Inca first. If Huk wins he moves on to code S, Inca plays Choya. If Inca wins, he stays in code S, then Huk gets a second shot to advance to code S by playing Choya. So both Huk and Inca have 2 chances to make it to code S. So does Choya only have 1 chance to remain in code S?

These matches are going to be insane. I really hope HuK makes it into code S as well as MKP and Nestea keeping their spots.

You've pretty much got it. That's what the 3-4th place matches are for in the group stages, determining who gets two shots at keeping code S and who gets one.

This is correct

This is the format for Up and Down matches.

Code A player vs 3rd place R32 Code S
Loser vs 4th place R32 Code S

Essentially, finishing 3rd place gives you a double chance. This also means that each 'up and down' group is fairly balanced and you shouldn't get a group of death unless you fail in group stage (see MKP finishing 4th, as one example of this)

When did Huk get 1st on Korea? I know he was as high as 4th but didn't know he was first at some point. Regardless, winning on televised matches is what matters. Brood war was filled with 'practice bonjwas' who dominated off camera but couldn't replicate their success in official matches. Hopefully Huk isn't one of them.

Thank you benny. But wow, that is kinda rough for players like MKP and Boxer whom I think can have 1 game taken off them by any of the players in their group. Oh well, go go Huk!
