Flying all around the world in order to compete in various tournaments in nice and all, but it seems that it kinda prevents the players from playing to the maximum of their ability. I don't think one can reach a reasonnable level of consistency by travelling all over the place.
Koreans do it all the time and they still dominate. The excuse about Jetlag is getting old. He played badly and got stomped, that's it.
I actually can't think of any player who has done as much travelling in as short a period a time as HuK has recently. The conventional KR to NA/EU jetlag doesn't even compare, it's absolutely insane how much he has been doing.
He must be a complete wreck.

losing 1 series is ok, not going out of group 2 times is not the same....

Blaming EG seems more relevant.

indeed.

It's just a slump. Everyone has them. The true sign of a good player is whether he can break free from it. Let's just give it time and see.

Did Nerchio really 2-0 Huk? Expected, but still awesome =)

And Britain. Oh wait our best player hasn't lived here for about a year. You mean your only player 
You know why british are not so good in SC2?
They focus on RPGs, because they like to loot.

And this is why it's not worth it to buy a player based off a single tournament performance. EG bought into the Hype just the same as netizens seem to only have a 1-2 month max history memory of events.
Puma is good, he's pro level obviously, but Mana has been solid for a while, anyone who picked Puma to beat Mana is just silly This is so dumb, Puma is way favored playing against Mana. Why? Because I don't buy into 30 day hype? Get off it - 1 month results are not everything. Look for solid players who post consistent results. Europe is solid. Mana, Nerchio, White-Ra, Dimaga, i'd pick any of those 4 over Puma. I hope you never bet money, because you would get your ass owned in predictions :X I hope you never bet money. Betting on someone who only has 1 result and has not shown a lot besides that 1 tournament. Betting on any solid korean against a foreigner is free money in the long run
Solid Korean - Yes I'd be stupid to bet against one. When he's on his game, MC would be one.
I'd also bet on MVP, MMA, Nestea, Losira, HongUn, Ensnare, Clide, Polt and Bomber to name a few.
Puma though is not on that list. And therefore I would bet against him if say Mana were to play him in IEM.

Watch DotA 2 instead, a lot more exciting than LoL :D

HongUn is at least a top5 protoss in korea. Its just one PvP series, which is always volatile.
Huk on the other hand did horribly at Assembly too and wasn't terribly impressive at the NA invitational. Lets not pretend this is the first time.

Sjow did pretty decently at Assembly, losing to Mana, but beating TLO, Adelscott and Happy. At Anaheim he beat Sheth, Cruncher, and Haypro, losing to Huk. How does any of these recent results mean that Sjow is bad?

Damn mods should have acted earlier, this thread is out of control again.
Really sad that it doesnt work without mods.
