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 people consider Huk and Jinro Korean than Idra should be at least 2 times more Korean than both of them together, he lived and practiced like a Korean for like 4 years there.

if sjow wins and thorzain wins isnt it a 3 way tie?


I heard Sjow and three way tie. That brings back awful memories...


that was awesome :D . they played 4 additional rounds iirc


I stayed up to watch it ^_^ it was glorious!


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 ^^


Pretty sure it was the one Effort won lol

A Korean lost to a non-Korean? Since when is HuK non-Korean?

Lol he's still a foreigner...


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.


Huk is not korean, period.

Are you fucking serious?


Did you even read his post? Ignorance is really a shame.


I read all of it, it still doesn't "pretty much make him a korean"

It's stupid bullshit, am i japanese because i lived in Japan for over a year?


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.


Ok, going by your logic there are quite a few Korean losses today. Jinro lost a lot, and he's 'korean'. Also, Haypro lost quite a lot and he is (was?) 'korean'.

So, the try to justify that koreans > nonkoreans failed anyways.

I think we can all agree that Huk is a korean trained starcraft 2 player.

I think the general consensus is that Starcraft is still judged on actual nationality. I still believe HuK is a "foreigner" playing in Korea. He is referred to as that by many people, including SC2 Progamers, casters and personalities.

Lmao whatever, you can have your own opinion but don't act like what I say is stupid. 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.


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" ?



Team Liquid is an american team? As far as I know the only american member is Tyler.

To each his own. It's pretty fun to watch with TB talking over it haha

besides, it's so much better than watching people argue over whether huk is foreign or korean

why dont you ask huk what country he is representing you idiot


what a nice argument, I love how people are getting so upset. I would ask Huk but I don't know him personality, but I'm sure he would agree that almost all of his training and style comes from Korea. That makes him essentially a Korean-style protoss, no shit I'm not going to say he is NATIONALLY a Korean.

It's not a matter of opinion. Person has certain nationality(or nationalities) so I don't know why people are debating whether a person is korean or not.

You don't get it. It's not the genes of the koreans who are superior, it's their lifestyle and way of training. HuK is living the life of a korean progamer, he's training just as much as they do, and therefore, he should be seen as a korean.



This is just noncence. Huk is from Canada now stop being silly all
