Sadly after all this time with so many tournament threads it still is not clear to many users on this site. There are several types of posts that are not acceptable in tournament threads. Any form of: Imbalance whine/Player bashing/Caster bashing/Stream complaining Will result in two day to a week long bans even for first offenses. Please stick to the games at hand and enjoy yourselves with a beautiful event such as this and the free service that comes with it. | ||

If you live in Japan long enough, then use, you do in fact become a citizen. You adapt the culture. Likewise, you live and train in Korea with Koreans on the Korean server adapting to the Korean metagame, then one could say he is Korean in a Starcraft 2 sense. No one is saying he is physically Korean. No one is saying he represents Korea. Simply, his play is essential Korean. I don't understand how any of this flusters you. Try to relax. | ||

I think you mean Catalan  Barcelona did not cheer for Spain when it won the WC, I think that is pretty telling of where their sentiments lie. But good point nonetheless. | ||

I'm really surprised he hasn't become faster with time actually. Why are people saying he has under 100 apm? Check any of hes replays, hes like 150-200 apm, just like 99% of foreigners. Only time when he has low apm (like around 50) is first 5 mins of the game where nothing is happening anyway, and he doesnt like to spam right click on minerals. | ||

I remember reading about that tie break but dont remember watching....was it worse than the 3way tie with EffOrt in the OSL a few seasons ago? And if someone with bw memory skills remembers that one...that wasnt the OSL effort won right? That would be amazing since the tie breaks only happened because of a rematch that was sketchy with some not working mouse controversy ^^ | ||

If you live with Koreans, train with Koreans, and use the builds of Koreans why would you be considered a foreigner? The difference between Koreans and foreigners is their approach to Starcraft 2, not their race. Huk is pretty much a Korean. He's a foreigner competing in Korea, man. He's no more Korean than Cristiano Ronaldo was English. Don't be silly. A Korean lost to a foreigner, and I suspect that's the only reason anyone is pressing that point because it violates the world view of Koreans being completely invincible - even the worst one, as so many have been so loud about calling Moon, one of the best WC3 players ever. Redefining his citizenship is not going to make him any less of a foreigner :p | ||

HuK has been living in korea training with koreans for many months now and for most of his sc2 career. HuK is korean in sc2 terms. Select is not. Select is korean in real world terms. HuK is not. It's not that hard guys D: It's not their place of birth, it's their place of practice. No one is trying to compare who was born with most 1337 sc2 skills, we're trying to compare practice regime Pretty much...its not that hard to understand that your comparing scenes not nationalities. If Huk wins this tourney does it say anything about the strength of the Euro or NA scenes? It just says that Korean training regimen is the best in the world, something we already know. | ||

Huk is a representative of Korea in this tournament, all of his training lately is the result of being part of the Korean Starcraft 2 scene. While he may be a foreigner in the GSL he still brings the Korean playstyle that has influenced him to the foreigner scene. His birthplace is irrelevant to the country he is representing with his play. why dont you ask huk what country he is representing you idiot | ||

LOL. 16 players, and only 3 terrans advanced. They need to bring in more terrans from Korea to change that statistics. | ||

His birthplace is irrelevant to the country he is representing with his play. He is American born, lives in Canada (and sees himself as a Canadian) , he represents an American team (Team Liquid) and only lives in Korea for the time being. When you watch the GSL with Jinro & HuK, do you not cheer for them because they are foreigners, or do you think "gah no foreigners to cheer for, bunch of Koreans only" ? | ||
