Looks like there is actually a disease called 'yellow fever' and fan clubs and musical albums, too. :-\

Dude, don't call him Chris, then people might actually think of him as a real person, and feel bad about being such gigantic assholes. You have to think of the random tler's feelings here!

Always mocking HuK just for something he said months ago. What about you start remembering good and honest things he did and does. He actually wrote on his facebook wall like 15 minutes ago: Sorry everyone, I really don't know what else to say ...Tell me about another pro who is actually apologizing to his fans when not playing as well as he could. I'm not a fanboy, I just don't get the mocking. And oh yeah. GO DIMAGA!!!  Lots of players apologize to fans in interviews after bad performances... HuK never gives credit to opponents when he loses, always talks about himself and how good he is, just not very likeable. There is a different between months ago and weeks ago. But he's always full of himself. And due to the fact he can't even support his arrogant behaviour, he gets lots of people mocking him.
well, assembly was in the beginning of february (1.), and that's now almost two months, but being a smart-ass doesn't help 
I honestly didn't see as much live interviews from him, but read about almost every single one on TL (as i do in almost any case when an interview appears). And I really never get the cockiness out of those interviews.
And even if he is a bit cocky and not the most adorable player in history of esports, it's still wrong to mock people just because they are not performing as they claim to. And I still think we should cheer for him. He's choking quite hard sometimes, and I think that's also because he knows what a lot of people think of him. I guess that would make me choke too, if everyone wants me to prove something I said some time ago, when i was maybe a bit over-confident.
EDIT: i don't want to spam this thread with this stuff, so i'll stop now just wanted to post my opinion

He could have 4 gated and just win game 2  I don't think he likes 4-gate PvP(other P's also, but they use it more). He said that PvP is his worst matchup and from recent tourneys I think it is true. He can defeat anyone in beautiful games, but early game he often makes blunders that in PvP are too deadly. Sad that he got PvP wanted to see more of his games. He barely not defended the 4 warpgate push when he had his 4th gate like 2 minutes later.... Seriously, if he'd done a regular four gate, san wouldn't have stood a chance. I know, he definitely could do four-gate and defend, but I was trying to say that he seems to use it only as last resort and that is often too late.
Ok ok we're on the same page then. I just find it sad, because he could be through

"Yellow Fever" = have the hots for Asians.
"Jungle Fever" = have the hots for Blacks.

You seriously underestimate our ignorance of geography. It's not restricted to the world outside the US.

With a sentence like that you're mocking others intelligence? That takes some nerve.

I'm not sure I would call Dimaga a -better- player yet than Nestea, but he's certainly proven he's on the same level, which when you think about it is insanely crazy already. It's a Bo3, which numerous amounts of pros have said are still not very good judges of true player skills, and of course Game 2 was some crazy metagame build order win.
But in game 3, we see Dimaga really is at Nestea's level, or at least that's how it appears. Nestea loses a queen early and a TON of zerglings in an overextended early aggression, after that Dimaga is just ALWAYS ahead. Nestea and Dimaga were playing almost exactly the same, but Dimaga was just a couple moves ahead because of some mistakes Nestea made. To play ZvZ like that, on Nestea's level, a guy who until tonight was undefeated in ZvZ in tournament matches while playing some of the best Korean Zergs, is a crazy thing to believe.
Is Dimaga better than Nestea? Lets wait a couple weeks or even months and see how things go guys, it was just one set after all guys, and it was VERY VERY VERY close at that. Whatever the case those, Dimaga continues to impress, San's ZvP seems good though, tough match coming his way. Always good to have a voice of reason around. Hearing statements like "dethroned the King of ZvZ" being thrown around so casually is a bit annoying. But Nestea HAS been dethroned. After not losing any ZvZ game at all, dropping a Bo3 is a huge deal. That doesn't mean Dimaga is the new kind or even that he's a better player than Nestea. Just means that Nestea is no longer undeafeted. No reason to play an awesome moment like this down.
Nestea has definitely lost ZvZs, just not on TV. But if you want to define "dethrone" as "finally losing on TV after a 10-0 streak", then I guess that does mean dethrone. I put a bit more meaning into the word, though, since Nestea has always shown incredibly consistent ZvZ with great game sense, save for the one hiccup tonight. That's why I take issue with the term "dethrone".

Read someone saying that a Korean SC2 pro team should pick up Dimaga.

Eat your own words, sir. When US went into Iraq there was a study done that showed that more people (aged 18-24) knew where Iraq was on a world map than when New Jersey is (on a US map). I am unable to find it though.
Found this one instead: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2006/030506map.htm
