Please have some respect for the players, teams, and tournament. Criticism is fine, criticism without anything to back it up isn't so cool. Thanks! | ||

HuK played well but he did have an easy group, even the people that came from open bracket were easier than most It's not really hating, even EG players like IdrA and iNcontroL joke or make comments about HuK being lucky with his brackets/groups. | ||

Storms that required a relatively low level of skill (compared to the skill required to counter) were the only thing that kept him in it. No arguement there. | ||

Really, since when does pointing out that he gets incredibly lucky with brackets (Which he does!) equal hate? I haven't been the biggest HuK fan lately, but I certainly don't hate him either. You can't really deny he has earned the nickname LuK the last 2-3 foreign tournaments I've seen him at he has had by far the easiest group/bracket. | ||

I think this is why he gets a little of the hate. People don't like his play style. A win is a win but it doesn't necessarily win you fans. | ||

I had followed WC3 scene for quite long time and I know how good Grubby micro is but SC2 requires much more mechanic skill than WC3 because it has macro and much faster. | ||

I may have no idea, but have seen Grubby play many times already and he always lose units for not looking, react on time. Falls behind on macro and so on. Offcourse he is improving a bit from month to month. But reaction time is a skill that transition from any game, and he lacks it. | ||

I was hoping for IdrA and NonY to go farther in this tournament as well. That second game against Polt was just terrible luck for IdrA. That was probably the worst time for Polt to pause for him. If Polt's lag was that terrible I can see why he would pause, just that was an awkward place for both players in terms of when to pause. | ||

But his career as a player is not going anywhere if he is not willing to make the necessary sacrifices just like all the Korean players and top foreigners (Naniwa, Huk) and fans can only really watch their idols under-performing and fall so many times before they decided to stop caring about them, and then Grubby will (most likely) loses his sponsors. I think with his game knowledge he should transition into being a caster/commentator it really suits him better and it allows him to take care of his wife & family. You are so wrong, he has a fan base and fans don't simply stop caring for him or follow him if he does bad. Great example of that is Boxer. Grubby is still one of the best protoss foreigner, if you think he should stop because he had one bad tournament then you should really think about what you are saying. If the cut off line in skill is Grubby for people to quit playing then you just cut off 90% of foreigners. Let's have Naniwa, Stephano, and HuK be the only foreigners playing this game (sarcasm). | ||
