Looks like Snute's stay at the EGTL house has been very productive for him.

Huk was like one of the only protoss to stick around in GSL during the sad zealot era which says quite a lot imo, he's done it more then once to.

It's impressive what he did but anyone would be a fool to think he was truly competitive.
Uh... He is still the only foreigner to have climbed from code A to code S, made it through the up downs multiple times, and even earned a qualifying seed for his Orlando victory but he was already in code S so the seed went to the runner up MC. But if you're just blind to all that then so be it.

So you are saying playing WoL in 2011 was more difficult than playing in the last couple of seasons before Hots came out?
I am talking about WoL not Hots, I thought that was obvious

I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's impossible for you to know that we had complete knowledge of WoL in 2012.

yeah huk was rly good, and was way more complete than naniwa (who's record against Lucky speak for itself :p) still i think that 2 ro4 are better than 2ro16 + a ro8. If we extrapolate about balance Huk have a really legit case tho.

Thank god that that blanket statement is easily proven, and that the competitive game didn't go through a major overhaul recently.

I didn't say that, that was some other guy.
What I'm saying is ever since the game has been somewhat figured out towards the end of WoL, the only foreigners really able to consistently compete with koreans are zergs and Naniwa.

You are just splitting hairs. I am pretty sure most people would agree that WoL was for most part figured out in the last couple of seasons of GSL and that competition was much tougher than in the early days
