... actually we all have ancestors from Africa, SO ...

So Africa is actually the best breeder of ESPORTS talent. But didn't we establish earlier that Africa has lowest IQ and that IQ directly correlates with RTS talent?

A confusing topic indeed.

This topic is so stupid to read.

Suddendly people think the nation where you play has to determine your nationality. It isn't like this in ANY sport, so please stfu. If people move to a nation with better infrastructures for training they don't change nationality. Messi and Ronaldo isn't spanish , they play in spanish teams. Same goes for Huk, he isn't Korean for the mother of god, he play in a korean team.

I couldn't care less about who win but the fanboysm in this thread is making me puke.


Yeah and it isn't about nationality but practice environment / scene.

People like iNcontroL and IdrA have been spouting nonsense like "Korea isn't the place to be"

Bullshit.

Yeah if you wanna feast on the scraps and be a B-class player, stay in the US or wherever, but if you wanna take the big tournies and be the best player you can be there is absolutely no alternative to going to Korea.


Couldn't have put it better my friend. If us non-koreans ever establish anything close to the training/tournament system they have set-up. I might start taking iNcontrols, IdrA, demuslim etc comments seriously.


This is just silly, InControl and the whole EG team have said that they really want to ramp up their practice schedule and will be creating their own team house to achieve a Korean-like regiment for the next MLG. Clearly they think that style of practicing has value. HOWEVER, what InControl and Idra were actually saying is that the TOURNAMENT scene of Korea isn't worth it because of the lack of tournaments and time commitment per payoff. The west has tons of cash up and way better opportunity for the team to do well and attract attention to them and their sponsors. Try to not misquote people when you have your axe to grind.


Even then, training with Idra, Machine, Axslav, Incontrol and Strife Cro is not at all comparable to a house containing MC, Nada, Supernova, Inca, TOP, Zenio, Hyperdub, Ensnare, Cezanne, Huk and Jinro all being coached by theWind to ensure their practice is effective and copious.

I seriously hope the mods stomp on these people trolling and saying Huk is korean.

You have issues and a lack of understanding how the real world works, you are basically trolling and it is disruptive to this thread.


Well, in terms of Starcraft 2, HuK is korean.

Who cares about where he plopped out of his mothers vagina, it's about where and whom with you train.

People always make the same mistake, in sports before and in E-Sports now, which is to say "this guy - this team is superior overall"

There is no ABSOLUTE superiority, there is RELATIVE superiority. In one tournament one guy is better than the others and wins. The next tournament another guy is better at the time and wins. The next tournament someone else is better and wins.

Not because X player performed better than A in Y tournament, if on the next tournament X loses to A, X is still better overall - no, he was better than A previously, now A is better. That's all

And stop saying that a player won because the other player played bad, that's just a dumb reason imho (although there are exceptions). Usually if a player played bad is because the other player made him play bad


Nope July played like total crap.

Being forced to make Banelings by a Blink Stalker / Storm composition sounds like pretty crappy play to me.

ahh but he didn't know about the storms
mass blings mixed are almost always cost effective against non-aoe play
huk and mc seem to have mastered their timing on transitions pretty well

Huk over july isn't the biggest upset in the world... now Huk over bomber would probably be the biggest upset I've seen in the past month especially in a bo5 regardless of how well Huk has been playing. I mean, bomber just took out MC. MC!!


MC made funfamental mistakes in mid/late in game 3, mistakes like not expanding, not upgrading armor, and he engaged before storm was ready, game 2 i don't even know what he was thinking when he let the expansion finish (and expanded early aggainst Bomber in XC).

I think Huk does have a chance, not like MC, but he is clearlly not out yet.

Eh no, he was under constant pressure at his natural, lost a ton of units and did extremely well to hold off Bombers attacks on 2 base. The 3rd was shut down by Bomber not because MC forgot to. And resources are tight when you are within an inch of losing, all resources go to units. And MC didn't engage before storm, Bomber forced the issue....

Bomber has a good chance against Huk.


It was almost game over when bomber started to pressure, the mistakes were allready beem made. He did a poor engagement, that put bomber ahead, then bomber just keep ahead till he won

but yeah bomber has a good chance against Huk

dude..you already said you dislike HuK for being arrogant (what's interesting to me as you apparently like MC), why more hatred?

It's annoying seeing him cruise through an easy group then bracket followed by july playing terribly. Superior protoss' like MC/Nani/White-Ra got tough opponents throughout the tournament and performed equally well without blindly going dt's half the time, yet now half the people in this thread are talking about huk as if he's suddenly the best protoss on the planet. Sigh.


From what can you conclude that Naniwa and White-Ra are better than Huk? I mean, they both went 0-2 vs Moon while Huk won 2-0 against him. Huk has dropped a single game in this tournament, what should he have done better?

I'm not saying it's his fault that he only got to face easy opponents and a few decent opponents playing like absolute shit. Moon and july basically gave their series to huk.

I'm saying MC/White-Ra/Nani are better players because they have many more accomplishments and aren't prone to effortlessly dice rolling for BO wins all the time.

just stop already. moon and july have been tearing through this tournament only to lose to huk 0-2. nani and white ra both lost to moon 0-2. you are clearly just a hater trying to cope with the fact that someone you dont like for some dumb reason is doing extremely well, better than players you like.

'dominating' predy/socke/fury/lalush/bischu etc or even july in that state isn't "doing extremely well".. but what ever.

Messi plays a Spanish style of football though, even Argentinians say that while Messi is an Argentine national he is a product of Spanish football.

Just like Huk is a Canandian but is a product of Korean Starcraft.


wtf are you talking about Messi is a product of the argentinians football school.

You have no idea wtf you talking about Brazil and Argentina got some of the best football schools in the world.

Jesus crist some of you people just plain silly

barca signed messi when he was 13.


So you got no idea how the argentina schools work. The best players from age 5-6 get recruited into those schools.

Messi was allrdy a wunderkid when he was 13 just like Maradona was when he was 10. just like Ronaldo was when he was 15 and moved to Amsterdam

Plz stop talking about football stick to sc2


yes, those 6 early years obviously has meant a lot more for him than the 11 he have had in spain.
lol.

Do you see the sprints nad rythm changes where he breaks the defence? It's a product from La Masia.



yep, seems that drugs are better in Spain than in other countries nowadays (joking aside, it's a real problem in spanish sport, with a bigger extend than most of the other countries)

None of HuK's builds so far have been dice roll wins. All have been standard macro games as far as I can tell.. WhiteRa doesn't have better accomplishments than HuK on any measure.

You are just straight up watching the games with biased glasses on. HuK is playing well and making his opponents look bad. Not the other way around.

HuK is definitely playing well, but the saying, "he makes his opponents look bad," is really annoying. Nobody's play makes someone look bad, if they play like crap, it's on their ass.

You're basically assuming people are unable to analyze a game, as if we always assume the loser "played like crap."

edit: Not trying to argue against HuK being among the top foreigner toss, I always thought he was. He just rarely plays to his potential when he needs to.
