Good interview, but whats up with the question: why does blizzard hate Protoss? the stongest race through the majority of the beta?

I was referring to the amount of Protoss nerfs.

And I do apologize for saying "the top" in the topic title, it should have been just "top".

You don't want to be held responsible for what you've written?

I didn't say that is elitist. What I think is elitist is you saying that HuK is the only North American Protoss that impressed you. Nothing that I did, or incontrol did, or kiwikaki did, etc, was impressive to you? Not only that, but we're all pretty bad? That's elitist. Hell, I'm sure even HuK himself is impressed by some of the things his NA Protoss brethren did. And he sure doesn't think we're all bad. But kajeus does! He has higher standards!

If it makes you feel any better, I think you're a pretty good BW player.

Plenty of good Protoss players out there. Huk, InControl, Nony. Ryan, Sinatra, Antimage, Arlock, Copperhead. Been hearing tons of good things about KiwiKaki.

Can we just agree to disagree guys?

Nony, I agree with ya completely. Still, I'm sure you have some fans that would easily say this same stuff about you, in fact you had one saying u were top two NA. Thats why I love this game, some people looooooove watching some ppl's games and think there the best even when they may not be. (How do you think I got any fans?) And I gotta say ur play on Kulas was impressive to me and I play Z xD!
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

What? Go ahead and explain what you're implying. I can't fathom anything that makes sense so please enlighten me.

Yeh I know, but its called balancing. I think Blizzard loves protoss and made them so strong, and they are still strong, comon, just look at Huk! And if theres any need for more adjustments they will tweak it later for the best of the game's sake.

Well fan or no fan you can't just go around saying well THIS guy is the THE BEST when he didn't do much to prove it.

As nony said we didn't really get to hear much about the achievements of HuK. The tournaments he won weren't major tournaments or stuff, and there wasn't much of an opposition in most of them.

HuK is a great player, and maybe the best protoss in NA, but let's wait to see him win something big, or achieve something against strong opponents before saying so, because for now, he have as much to prove as the other protoss players around.

Does HuK live in the Montreal area? I would love to stand by his house and just stare at the window. If I eat his hands I will gain his starcraft power. I'm not crazy btw.

Lol. I don't know if he is good enough to force me into cannibalism.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I love the bickering about who is "top dog" and to think we are in the BETA for gods sake! lmao....
That being said I look up to both Nony and Huk. I really enjoy watching them stream as they're both solid players while at the same time throwing creative twists in their game...

i could do the same for NonY or incontroll or what ever other protoss players around, link replays, and say hey this one won this or this so he is the best !

what i'm saying is that there isn't enough for us to say, OMG HuK the best NA protoss player ! The game is in beta and there wasn't that much major tournements around for us to say something like that.

It's not like Huk was dominating the sc2 scene for a long period of time, winning many major tournements and stuff, there you can say, yes HuK is the best protoss player, for now he is indeed a strong protoss player, one of the best around, but let's stay objective and don't forget that the game is in beta, there isn't much to base that on, and there is also a lot of other strong protoss players that are as capable as HuK.

You can't say this guy is the absolute best as you seem to be convinced to after 1 or 2 wins during a 3 month beta, that's just not smart at all.

Give time for the scene to develop, the game to get released, and players to start taking part to tournements and stuff, before jumping to conclusions, so strongly :p
