So do you think that foreigners can compete with Koreans without moving to their country right now?
HuK plays 12 hours a day. Competitive e-sports is not big enough over here. There don't exist the heavily funded e-sports organisations to let someone play for 12 hours a day. What you see out of foreigners right now is despite where they are, not because of it.
If I were playing something 12 hours a day I'd get pretty good at it too.
That does not make him Korean any more than Park Ji Sung playing at Manchester United makes him mancunian or English.

Huk Fighting Canada Fighting!!!!!!

Say all you want, but HuK is just fkin good nowadays  If you can beat Moon, MMA and July, you are just really good. Period.

That was some remarkably bad play by july, but spire vs blink is always a tough situation so..
At least I get to see bomber own him in the finals (seriously no chance for huk vs bomber)..
dude..you already said you dislike HuK for being arrogant (what's interesting to me as you apparently like MC), why more hatred?

Huk's group in GSL is Killer, Polt, Huk and Alive. He has a good chance of beating Alive, would have an amazingly tough time beating Polt, and probably the underdog against Killer.
it's definitely possible for him. If I remember correctly, it's still bo1 so it'll be easier against Polt. (on one game with a good tricky build everything is possible)

Can someone please explain to me how is "Advancing forward" correct in English? Cuz it sounds pretty stupid from where I'm standing. Can you advance backwards or sideways? I'd say you can advance sideways if you're advancing to a specific location or in this case advancing towards your opponent. Advancing backwards sounds weird but should be correct anyway.
ad·vance/ədˈvans/
Noun: A forward movement: "the rebels' advance on Madrid"; "the advance of civilization".
Verb: Move forward, typically in a purposeful way: "the troops advanced on the capital".
So yeah, "is Advancing" implies moving forward. Day9 is constantly saying he's moving forward forward, and it's annoying as heck.
Other than that, DreamHack rocks! :D

MC is crazy. Part of winning a tournament like GSL is luck of not running into people that can beat you. Why make run harder on purpose?
Baller tho.

Ok, enough. Despite his oGs training, his GSL experience, his obvious MC-"inspired" builds, fine. He's a foreigner. Let's not start this ridiculous debate again. Foreigners should have their chance to cheer on their flavor of the month champion. I'm saying flavor of the month because prior to Dreamhack, if I said HuK was the best foreign Protoss, everyone would laugh and say NANIWHAT? I get it, I get it, you're excited because a foreigner beat a Korean. Just goes to show how big of a deal it is, and how truly behind the foreign scene is, that when one of us beats a Korean, we suddenly crown him the champion, the tip of the foreign spear. Makes sense, I get it.
Too bad Bomber will steamroll HuK. Calling it now.

Inca and Kyrix are pretty much free win for MC... He just has a match against bomber for the pride then.

But Huk finishing so high just reinforces the fact that the Korean infrastructure is superior by miles to everyone else. The only foreign player to beat a Korean this weekend in the tournament was the guy who lives and trains with the oGs team.
I think people look at the whole scene debate by just color of skin or how they look instead of where they play/practice. Having a coach, the living environment, schedule, and people like MC, Nada, and TOP around will make you a much better play.
Ever since Idra left Korea, he's regressed mightily while Huk has become better and better.
I am sure if Naniwa and Thorzain stay in Korea for a long amount of time and can practice with a Korean proteam, they'll also improve leaps and bounds.
