either way Huk being code-s material or not isnt determined by the up and down matches, nor by ppl on a forum saying he is/isnt.
the actual test is lets see if he makes it out of ro32, THEN can he prove us wrong (which i hope even if i dont like him as much, hes still a foreigner vs koreans, so ill cheer)


It is actually determined by the up and down matches. If he makes it to RO16 in Code S, that will mean he's RO16 material. If he makes it in RO8, he will be RO8 material, etc.

So the whole "material" thing is silly anyway. He already proved people who claim he doesn't belong in Code S wrong twice by being Code S two seasons in a row.

I actually think that the GSL looses a bit of credibility and prestige with only one Foreigner in Code-S when the Koreans get ripped apart in TSL and stuff. They should really work towards inviting really good Foreigners into the GSL more...

Statement like this make me wish the Korean players not participating any more cross server online tournament. Yes Koreans were ripped in TSL but i will bet the European players will get ripped if they go to Korea consider the pool of korean pros competing in Korea. I guess Idra made the BEST decision ever by not competing in foreign online tournaments when he was in Korea.


Koreans are getting ripped in China too.. GSL players are slightly better but not much better than foreign ones.


Unfortunately, I doubt GSL players take foreign online events very seriously. GSL is still the main priority for every player.


Surely you talk out of your own experience... NOT. Why insult the professionalism of korean players?

Except for the final and semi-final, that Chinese tournament is still held online. Live location, in a booth, on a stage in front of a live audience >>>>> online tournaments. EU live events such as IEM, Dreamhack, Copenhagen has been won by a Korean anyway. And if a player is in 2 tournaments where one of them has much more local prestige and much more prize money, I doubt they are going to expose any of their new builds. We have seen so much more specially-made builds in the GSL from the Koreans but not really anywhere else.


I guess we'll never know until half the players in Korea playing in the GSL are foreign... that will never happen.

Congrats to HuK but now he needs to capitalize on this. He's still 1-9 vs Current Code S players. He needs to use this momentum in the next ro.32 or he'll be in the same spot again.

Quite sad because MMA is one of my favorites with MarineKing. But well, Huk, even if I wanted him to lose, showed some cool skills.

Gg HuK!
I hope he'll do fine in the future code S.
I knew MMA was overrated (in his TvT against MKP, not the match against HuK), dunno why everybody thought he'll roll over MKP... Too bad I wasn't able to look the games T_T, damn patch.

He beat MVP using MKP style.. but considering he was fighting MarineKing himself, yeah.

Seriously, if you don't trust your own eyes and brain (I have a hard time believing anyone who regularly watches, say, MVP's games, would say that he even played close to 50% of what he was capable of against Adelscott, no matter how bad he was against P at the time), at least trust the words of other pros like idrA: people need to stop taking cross-server online results seriously as far as a measurement of players' skill levels.

Like a previous poster said, the only major result that has been legit was Thorzain vs. MC. It's not a knock on these online tournaments - just shitty Blizzard server technology.

I mean, it's either all of that, or it's foreigners, who don't practice as much, who don't live in a teamhouse environment, who don't live, breathe, and swim in an RTS culture all day, can be just as good if not better than these other players (Koreans in this case). If that truly is the case, I think it might be more of an indictment on the poor quality of SC2 as an esport than anything else - a sport that rewards random variability over hard work. I don't think any of us wants that to be the case.
