HuK is certainly being a boss of a protoss right now. No other protoss other than hongun is staying consistent in code S. What about players like ensnare? If he played protoss, he would be in code B. | ||

Surprising I know given no one ever thinks about him twice. On September 21 2011 22:35 Quintum_ wrote: I think huk knew toss cant beat the 1-1-1 so he went dt's hoping to get lucky. He played dam near perfect in game 1 and still loss so he was just like screw it i am going to go dt's and hope for the best. Hope once toss gets fixed you will go far huk cause you are a dam good player. But DT's are a terrible coinflip against your standard 1-1-1 >_> | ||

Last gsl ro8 was more of a luck run imo. Sanghos PvP was not even Code A level as well as Nada's TvP. He then got humiliated by MVP in ro8. | ||

Last GSL he played Killer 3 times, and now the guy is code A. | ||

I think he's saying that Huk has done as well as expected, considering the state of the game. I expected him to beat Virus; I thought he was better. But Virus has skillz. So Huk is in an "all right" position now. Oh gosh. I know balance discussion is generally forbidden, but sometimes the silence is louder than the screams. | ||

There are bound to be that many terrans eliminated since there are more terrans in ro32 than the amount that can advance. Even if the maximum amount of terrans advanced, there would still be 4 terrans gone by now. | ||
