I'm not crazy btw. User was given a restraining order for this post. You idiot. You have to chop off his head with a katana for that. | ||

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 Huh? I linked a replay and a tournament because I didn't want to track down and link more than that. I can show you replays of NonY losing to the same people, if you want. P.S. I don't have "strong opinions". I just think it's pretty clear that HuK is the only NA protoss player who proved to be really good over the course of the beta. And I think it's pretty clear from this thread that what I think is very very important. | ||

To consider he was winning all kinds of major showmatches and events when he was FORCED to go all low econ cause of his computer. He dominated a good deal of top players. Don't get me wrong all the other mentioned names (Nony, inControl, Kiwi) did amazing as well, but HuK was the most active and was quite dominant for most of his time here. He pretty much laid the foundation for insane one base attacks. | ||

The game have 3 months beta without any leagues/standings or major tournaments and you'r already able to label who is the best and who's not, man you are strong. /respect ! Sorry i doubt you'r higher intellect in judging peoples skills. And yes if you are already able to say who's the best without any doubt possible, you'r opinion is very very important just like you said. | ||

Sorry i doubt you'r higher intellect in judging peoples skills. No I do understand. I can tell you if I play Idra I will lose 104 times out of 100. I can judge the skill difference. Don't forget I hand pick every ITL matchup and about 90% of them go exactly how I think they will. We don't need a stupid number system to tell who is the best. Once you play alot and watch 1000+ matches (like I did) you start to be able to tell the differences. On June 17 2010 08:40 ReachTheSky wrote: lol no major tournaments!?!? ROFFFLLLLL there were several major tournaments. several invitationals several zotacs several esc's or w/e they are called. if u wanna go see huk's LONG list of accomplishments go to his new team's website. you will see all of it there. uggggggh....i'm so tired of people that try and act like the know some shit when they wouldn't know if it hit em in the face ;P cheers! Yea man just cause there was only one event with a major prize pool does not mean thier not major events. The MSL KOTBH, HDH, TLI's, Zotac's, ITL's, etc are all really major events. You know why? The feature the best players in the world. They don't need big $ to be amazing games. | ||

Remember, you may be the best player, but if there's no one there to see it--you're nothing. Also HuK did not elaborate on this interview as much so he accepted to do another one emphasizing on game play. It'll be updated soon! | ||

HuK: I don't think it’s the best balance it could be but I don't think its OP either. Brat_OK simply played a lot better than me that day, and definitely changed his play up. He was the better player that day and it showed, the mistakes I made in that game were obvious, especially because a failed DT rush just puts you super behind. Great to see a top player who respects his opponents and doesn't cry imbalance whenever he loses to something. | ||

I've seen those. InControl consistently does well in what he enters. I'm not going to spend my time finding games he's played because anyone can find them. He probably doesn't enter as much as he should, but when he does play, he plays well. NonY? How is he not a top sc2 player? I'm never find any reason to think NonY did bad. He's a great player. Plenty of good Protoss players out there, no point in trying to make some standard list because they all have good and bad days and they're all so damn good. | ||

I'm sure there will be a lot of great players in SC2 once retail hits because I'm sure there are it will reach ppl who haven't had a chance to play sc2. What's with all the hate/elitism/whatever you wanna call it against other top NA toss players? The game isn't even out and its still buggy as hell. You're basically arguing about who is the best in a game that is still an unfinished product. | ||
