In the end HuK still wins games, and as a fellow Canadian I will support him the whole way. Although I must say he reminds me of (Z)Shine a lot

In General to all my fans:

Thank you! You will never know how much I appreciate you, I do my best every chance I get. I try to do as many interviews, show matches, tournaments, clan wars; anything all for you guys (and also for me ). I commonly stay up 24+ hours just to play in as many events as I can or only sleep 3-5 hours over a 48 hour span, just so that I can do this. I know becoming a competitive progamer will be the toughest thing in my life thus far, and by far; but I will try my best. I love you all and thank you so much.


I just want to confirm this. The LS Gamer Weekend Open this weekend was such a success because of HuKs endurance and determination. He was pushing through with such little sleep, and even found time at the end for a interview.

Look for the flaw that lost the game not the flaw in the game.

I will step in and say that as a tournament organizer HuK is one of the best players to have playing. He never cares whom he is playing, or if he played earlier that day, the only thing that will stop him is having another tournament at the same time.

Although me and him fight about using BW maps in SCII, he's one of the best to work with.

I can't stress that first part enough. Normally when I hit someone up for the ITL its "Oh I don't want to play them", or "Oh, I want a TvZ and nothing else." HuK never once has had these issues.

HuK is a game opponent and still imo the best Protoss in the world (he has never built 2 cyber cores and chrono'd the wrong one). I think it's GREAT he wants to be like his idol. I wanted to be like Boxer when I first picked up SC2 but I realized I sucked. Luckily HuK does not have this problem.

huk's a really good player.

watched a bunch of his replays and his style is a lot less predictable than the real top players like white ra and idra. he's not exactly as experimental as TLO, but some of his on-the-fly plays are really awesome to watch.

several replays have epic defense against ling rush... ahh

Huk, I think you should adopt healthier sleeping patterns if you want to play at your maximum level.

1. Not reading the article and then commenting nonsense.
2. Falsely accusing someone of being a 12yo WC3 bmer.
3. Whining that somebody plays the game in a way that wins him games.

Classy, TL.

Maybe you'd just rather him say that he aspires to be a hobo, and that from now on he is going to lose in the most creative way possible.

This is how I felt reading the replies to this thread: http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u19/CandlestickPark89/facepalm.jpg


... honestly... why did everyone IMMEDIATELY assume that HUK_YOU is the same person as HuK? it's not like Huck is a rare name. Ever hear of Huckleberry Finn, Huckleberry Hound, etc?


and the BoxeR line..... you're taking it WAY too seriously. I'm pretty sure all HuK ment by that was "I want to be the best player and have a ton of fans"

Well said.

HuK, you're one of my favorite players to watch. Coming from a background of never having played any form of RTS before SC2, I find that I tunnel vision on improving mechanics a lot, but players like yourself (and Tester's games last night wtfffff so good) always inspire me to try out funkier builds and sometimes even come up with some really solid strategies.

HuK's post:
+ Show Spoiler +
I almost always keep up to date with most threads on TL.net, and have the whole time since this first came out until now; I debated posting or not but since there has been so many issues I will.

"HuK all-ins 5gate every game"

Not really true, I use to when my computer couldn't handle 100+ supply but now that it doesn't I expand PvZ 90+%, PvT I do whats necessary (can't really FE) but almost always start off 1gate - robo, and PvP I rarely ever do this 4-5 warpgate cheese strategy most people do. I find it funny how many people consider me a "cheesy all-in" player when the truth is I rarely do either. Then again most of you don't even keep up avidly with most happenings in the scene.

"HuK is extremely arrogant/cocky/bm or whatever" "HuK is this wc3 guy in this video"

As far as I know outside of people I talk to on a regular basis on ventrillo I'm pretty mannered, always say gg, don't talk shit, give props where they are due, even to people I generally don't like.

I never played wc3 melee, only dota. It has been said and will be said here again, I was a SC1 player.

My "semi-known" ID's:
Keeper-HuK
ZioN)Rogue
JF-HuK
CrimsonTide
CoralTide
CyanTide
etc.

Now to pre-clarify any accusations of hacking because the majority of Keeper- was caught hacking while making it WGT-CL DIV 1 and we (as a team) were disqualified when the oblivion sting happened. I did not hack and had all my replays reviewed. I'm sure Xeris or some other admin at the time can verify this in some way.

"Blasphemy Boxer was a god you are a twat"

Lol this maybe true but I never meant any disrespect in the article, the title can be mis-deceiving so some people are jumping to conclusions and assumptions; but mainly only IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE ARTICLE. I mention many times Boxer was my favorite player, is a legend, and I looked up/idolized all pro gamers. I want to be the next Boxer for SC2, this is my goal as well as being the best player in general. Don't like it? To bad! Haters going to hate anyways. It's my goal and I will try my best to make it a reality, To say such negative things about a fan talking about his hero and wanting be like him is beyond me, get a grip.

In General to all nay-sayers / haters / trolls / anti-fans / newbs / wannabe's / etc.:

Thank you! I appreciate you maybe more then my fans, because it is you who truly motivates me to be better. There is nothing more I like to do then hear negative comments about anything I do then prove them wrong. Please keep on hating, it only adds wood to the fire of how much I want to make everything I said in this article true.

In General to all my fans:

Thank you! You will never know how much I appreciate you, I do my best every chance I get. I try to do as many interviews, show matches, tournaments, clan wars; anything all for you guys (and also for me ). I commonly stay up 24+ hours just to play in as many events as I can or only sleep 3-5 hours over a 48 hour span, just so that I can do this. I know becoming a competitive progamer will be the toughest thing in my life thus far, and by far; but I will try my best. I love you all and thank you so much.



I think SC2 will bring more than a few new players into competitive gaming in Canada. Once the ladder is stabilized, we'll be able to have a good response to national tourney's where your position can become known and respected, and the country will only further support you in the top levels of competition in whichever other countries you compete.

Good luck and work hard.

You sound just like Nani there.

You're right though, I've never seen you do a all-in cheese before.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be the best, and say you wanna be the next boxer, but people will always take it the wrong way. I know what you meant when you said it, but it's like putting yourself on a ungodly high tier level of play.

Anyways GL with whatever you do, cause apparently I don't avidly keep up on the scene.

TBH even the silver league guy should be able to "want" to be like Boxer. When I play Zerg I want to be like IdrA or Artosis or any of the good heavy macro zergs. Why should anyone settle for only striving to be okay?

The people bashing HuK over wanting to be like his idol are fucking morons.

From following this post, I'm assuming people here dont know how BM SlayerBoxer used to be LOL.

I remember (I was gr 6 or 5) the time of SSamJang, the actual first progamer was still the shit. He had a internet commercial too. He was standing on a desert, looking like a tool, then battle cruisers and wraith would fly by him while he does the saviOr pose. I'm sure the real old schools cant forget this one. The Emperor SlayerBoxer was still learning SC from his girlfriend and he was damn talented alright. I personally was unfit to play a ladder but some of my cousins had the honor to play him before he was known. God, when he knows he won, he will cover ur screen with this:
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFUUU..."

Of course he stopped when he started to attend tournaments but he really humiliated his opponents when he saw the chance. 3 bunker rushes, anyone? LOL.

Huk clarified that the wc3 Huk is not him. I read that. But I still want to say that we shouldnt be judging somebody with his past.
