You are nuts if you're saying huk is less consistent than those players as of late. lol what, consistency isn't about "as of late." It's about a body of work and not just "what have you done for me lately."
Uh you can't possibly be serious

Awesome series. Sen and MC going all out.

it's quite obvious he is referring to a term "Korean" as used in Starcraft to associate skill and experience levels, not national origin.

Wouldn't it be just as hard for Swedish people? Asian languages are not as hard as people make them out to be. The truth is that ALL languages are hard to learn. Asian languages might be slightly different, but like all other languages it's a matter of practice and application. Spoken like someone who has zero knowledge of linguistics. I speak Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, English and some German. You're an idiot.
then you're biased if you don't understand objective linguistics. you might have learned an asian language at a young age so it was easier. even if you didn't and english was your native language until well into your adolescence, you should understand that asian languages are much harder if you're an english speaker. also chinese isn't a language, what language were you trying to say?

Well, then it is a no-brainer for foreigners to do well. Al lthey have to do, is go to Korea. In that case, there is no Korea vs World logic, cause all you ahve to do is go to Korea and train to be top tier.
by implying that Huk is a foreigner and Select is a korean, you're basically stating that ethnicity is what makes a player dominant, which is about the furthest thing from true.

He just isn't in as many as those guys. Thorzain won TSL but hasn't made much noise in anything else. What the hell has Dimaga done lately? Idra hasn't been tearing it up much either. He's posted decent results, but DH and HSC3 weren't too good. Sen does always do well, but so does Huk. Naniwa seems more consistent because he is in more events, but I don't think he is better than Huk considering Huk just won two tournaments Naniwa was in.
Huk just won two rather large tournaments. Thats more than what those guys can say. Huk just doesn't play in as many as them so he seems like he isn't as consistent.

Yeah, what a sloppy, inconsistent player. I'd consider Idra the most consistent of that group. If by consistent you mean consistently failing before the top You're right, he hasnt won anything and never places well. He won something a few months ago, which in a game thats been around ~1year is ages ago
And everything everyone wins now will be in the same position...that argument makes no sense.

yeah MC made tons of very gutsy and steady decisions under incredible pressure. He sure knows how to snatch wins from impossible situations. Also I think he is just godly in every engagement. This is where Sen was clearly lacking against MC. MC's every battle was phenomenal and impressive. No wonder people call him Kratoss Protoss because he really is becoming a new god of war.
Ultimately I think it came down to control so many times. MC probably has the best control in the world right now (and Huk is #3  )

I think most are referring to game 4 where sen lost it for himself... and after that win things woulda been different. True, I am just putting forth that Sen made more mistakes than MC did, and MC outplayed Sen. I think its hard to say the the player who was playing from behind and came back a won, got outplayed.
Ya, I can agree to that Makes for fun games to watch though haha

If you dont play in more and he's only now won games in code S how are people supposed to give him the benefit of the doubt before he started winning?

And what to thier names do the other people have??? I'm sorry I'm love Idra and Sen but Huk just won tournaments that featured the very best players in the foreign and arguably the world. He is training with the top players in the world. More importantly due to his skill, he no longer has to carry MC's bags.
Lol "all he had to his name was MLG", what about the big fat "Code S". Until another foreigner can prove that they can compete on the GSL Code S level, then Huk will remain, in my eyes at least, the top foreign player. Jinro was for awhile, but he has since sadly fallen off.

Or the fact that MC is actually really good and the majority of the 16 spots were Zergs? Makes it even worst tbh. The Zergs that know lategame compositions get cheesed early, the ones that know macro style multiple harrass midgame antics get to lategame and throw it away. It's just frustrating to watch and read about how great MC plays... I am not saying he is getting free wins...all I'm saying is he shouldn't win 3 v 5 base against any Zerg that knows how to play lategame Zerg.
God, you are arrogant. He is the _best_ Protoss int he world right now. It is ridiculous that you are stipulating that Zerg should just get an auto win because they manage to get 5bases.

I feel like this is a product of the stigma where "if you don't win anything you aren't good," which is complete nonsense. Sen hasn't won a gold since the beta, yet he just stood toe to toe with MC, which makes him pretty damn good. To condemn people because they aren't winning golds regularly is pretty shortsighted.
