Category III: Languages which are quite difficult for native English speakers88 weeks (2200 class hours)(about half that time preferably spent studying in-country)Arabic Cantonese Japanese KoreanMandarin Mongolian Taiwanese (Hokkien Min Nan) Wu You know Ive seen this elsewhere but I know Japanese is not very hard to learn. The entire language rests on what? 43 syllables was it? English alphabet alone is 26. Im told once all 43 syllables are learned its just a memory game. Writing it though? Forget it, Asian literacy for there own languages is terrible so I have no chance on earth.
Jesus. It has nothing to do with knowing syllables or memorizing vocabulary but everything with how the language is constructed in an entirely different manner from western languages. Grammar is entirely different.

You can hardly consider being the top foreigner at MLG, losing DHS to MC, and getting to the semis of the winner's bracket at HSC mediocre.
I mean, I'm not arguing either way, but to say IdrA is mediocre is silly.

Hmm.. so many topics going on in this LR THREAD.

Game 4 - Sen gave that game away.

I'd take dimaga/throzain/sen/naniwa/idra before huk because they've been much more consistent. Really? How so? Because results over a long period of time is what separates you in starcraft....it's a marathon not a sprint. It's more like tennis or golf because there's so many events and few players can win consistently. 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. 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? But we are talking about Code S. Something none of those guys are in. One game in code S is harder than the finals in MLG before Koreans were invited. And he did fight his way up from Code A too. Thats not easy. He did decent at assembly, decent at MLG Dallas, was advancing up in GSL and then won DH, HSC3 and now in round of 16 in Code S. He has done far more than Dimaga/Idra/Naniwa/Thorzain/Sen this year.
But it's not, because you're using code S an excuse to not even evaluate how good the players are, just that they're in it and that's good enough. Some people have easy paths, others not. It's not black and white, just like it's not fair to say MLG never had competitive high level matches before Koreans came over. Huk is also the one that had to be seeded into code A in the first place.

Is it over? just got home. why don't they update teh NASL page? Pathetic!

I'm not saying he should have won, but I'm saying it is the reason WHY he won. The fact is, the games were so ridiculously close and the Zerg wasn't even on the caliber of NesTea or DRG. In reality it looks the opposite of what you are saying, if Sen can almost beat (and really should have) MC then the best Zergs shouldn't even be having trouble

Except his wins DH and beyond are after he went to Korea and trained, whereas after Idra left Korea his results were mediocre. Are you gonna point out that he won King of the Beta tournament as well? And ultimately, even if he were the best player (no,) it's clear that his attitude problem makes him volatile and prone to leave games at the slightest provocation. That in itself makes him inconsistent.

huk is the best foreigner.
when you look at his gsl preformance yeah he hasent done well but look who he played.
he lost in code A in the ro8 to losira who went on to win it and has really good ZvP
he lost wc to MVP who went on to win it, lost 2-1 btw.
he lost to inca and july in may gsl. inca has one of the best PvP in the world, and losing to july is respectable.
he lost to polt in the super tournament who went on to win it.
plus he won dream hack.
Yeah I agree. And now HuK is up against the ropes with MC.
I sorta wish one of these seasons HuK could be carried to the top by facing legacy code Sers on the way off the map like we see sometimes.

Why do people say Huk is Korean. He is a foreigner who trains with Koreans... What is not to understand. If you are in the same environment you will adapt. He trains as hard as they do... that is why he can compete. foreigners are people who train outside of korea. and "Koreans" are people who train in Korea. Therefore, select is a "foreigner" and Huk is a "korean" Koreans are people who are born in Korea..sorry to burst your flawed logic lol. 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. Finally he gets it -.-' Practising in a Korean prohouse is a HUGE advantage. Compare to say, Dimaga, who's sitting at hime, not really feeling to play and does something else. In the practise house the same thing is happening to HuK, but then MC walks up to him and tells him to play some games with him. Plus they have laid out schedules pretty much. Atleast for the actual team members I'm pretty sure. The thing is that it's a huge investment going there, and you'll be missing alot of tournaments in Eu and NA while being there, so on the short term it's bad. You will become a beast if you stay a while though. Compare the Korean and foreigner BW scene. It wasn't even close.
and that's exaclty what people mean when they say he's Korean... I thought this was obvious. It never was that his ethnicity is Korean, but if you're saying he represents the foreign scene.. I'm a bit hesistant to say Huk represents the foreign scene. That's what people mean by the "Korean". No idiot is actually saying he's ACTUALLY korean, lol. Idra still is considered more representiative of the Korean scene than the foreign. Though time is passing, and his playstyle will be more representative of the foreign scene

His second. The first he had the misfortune of getting smashed by PvP god Inca(who attended the finals, by the way.)
Huk went on to beat MMA convincingly to retain his spot, and then dominated his group in his next season.
What do you want from him exactly? A GSL win? That'd be awesome, but hardly necessary to elevate himself over other foreigners, who mostly could not compete in the GSL.
There are a few who could, of course, but they need to step up and prove it before you can say they're above Huk
