No he's not the most accomplished, he still has a LONG way to go before catching up to MVP, MKP, Nada,etc. but If there was an SC2 fantasy league I'd take him with my first pick easily. He is amazing at all 3 matchups and he can play both long macro games (If you weren't convinced by his win over MVP, watch his series against Ryung) and aggressive cheese/all-ins. I can't think of any other Terran who is so reckless with his attacks. Bomber sees a siege line...and charges his army in head first yet somehow wins, cost-effectiveness be damned. He's like the July of Terran. He seems to make very calculated attacks and seems to have a good read of opponents unit compositions, upgrades and the general timing window. (see games on Taldarim and XNF) | ||

No. Just no. It's not even a mocking phrase. Your troll is probably the more heinous and insididous sort of troll. Casting a BS racist aspersion on someone's character. Disgusting behavior on your part. Interesting result. Did not expect that. | ||

As far as I know, yellow fever = being attracted to Asian women. Racism = a belief that a certain race has inherent differences/traits that justifies different social/legal treatment. I don't see how the two connect at all. They dont. I'm asian and I find no offense in this term. I could poll all my asian friends and family members and they would find no offense in this term. Even though this phrase is sorta overused I think it sums up the people "offended" by this quite well, "Haters gonna hate." | ||

GL in the up&downs, but honestly I don't think HuK is completely ready for Code-S. He needs to train a bit more and perfect his builds. | ||

I think its really early to be saying stuff like that. Especially of a Code A player. | ||

To me some of his play doesn't compare to most Code-S players, and he still managed to get into Code S. Now he did have a very tough group in the Ro32, and there are probably only a few select players that could make it out over july and inca. HuK was not one of those few select players. GL in the up&downs, but honestly I don't think HuK is completely ready for Code-S. He needs to train a bit more and perfect his builds. Yeah I kind of agree, he wasn't that impressive in Code A and the up+down matches to get into code S.. but he actually played pretty well in a tough Code S group, and now he has a horror up+down group where he could play well again and still go back to code A. Good luck to him though, I hope he stays in code S. | ||

Getting supply blocked for long periods of time is something that shouldn't ever happen to a player close to MVP's caliber, let alone MVP himself. As for upgrades - have people watched MVP's previous games? He never gets out-upgraded unless he gets behind from the early game, which he wasn't for any of his matches today that were lost due to upgrade differences. As for TvP and TvZ - I'm not sure Bomber's advantage over MVP in TvP is bigger than MVP's advantage over him in TvZ. Especially since MVP has gotten much better - although I'm not sure how far Bomber's TvZ has progressed since the Startale ICCup matches. Bomber might very well be the best, but I'd have to see more of their TvT (and how they fare against each other in practice matches) before I can proclaim something like that. | ||

Beats MVP in one game, all kills a weak fOu side and all of a sudden he's one of the best Toss in the world. Where's ggoboogie now? I'll leave the hyperbole to GSL casters. That's their job to overhype people. Today i saw Bomber outplay arguably the best Terran in the world in a Bo7. He's fucking good. So is MKP. So is Nada. So is MVP. So are most of the other Terrans in the up and down matches. We shall see. Will be watching this kid closely that's for sure!!! | ||

It shows that you don't care all that much and your only excuse is language barrier which is lame because you can conclude things happening in the studio even if you don't know the language. Sure you won't catch the full story up, but at least you show that you're part of something special (to a lot of people) by not reading book during this ffs. It's a Korean for Dummies kind of book... he's learning Korean. Ignorance is a sad thing. | ||

Come on it's like biting the hand that feeds you Last time I checked the team sponsored by the TLAF is different from the community website. They stand alone. With that said, I share a similar opinion with the other guy. We should be very thankful to GOM for allowing our Foreigners to participate with smaller obstacles than what Korean citizens are faced with. Many pro's have shared similar sentiments when they speak of HuK's glaring weaknesses mid-game/late game. In the closed beta he was a work horse and it was a bit easier to hide them. Nowadays not so much. Not to say he's a bad player, he just has a lot of holes like MC right now. If you were to ask me about my thoughts about HuK in the beta, I would have told you a different story. Back then, I thought he could become the new Grrrr... in Canada, but that never materialized. Either way, good luck HuK. Going to be a really tough group. pdd, I meant MVP, s; | ||
