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.


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.


People are asses then. There is nothing wrong with aspiring to be great and why should Huk bite his tongue just to appease some people on the internet? He would have put himself on a ungodly high tier level if he had said he will become the next boxer, or that he has the same skill of whatever. He didn't.

His command of protoss is impressive, but his name choice means I can never say 'huk' again as an expression.

Me: huk that sucks
Them: What about him?
Me: huh? missing that drop sucked
Them: What the fuck does Huk have to do with you missing the drop?
Me: It's a Korean expression...
Them: huh?
Me: the word huk... its an expression of frustration
Them: ... o

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.



so Tester is not the best player because he built 2 cyber cores and chrono'ed the wrong one?

against TLO, huk couldn't close his ramp access with force field, which is way more critical than making 2 cyb. cores, but that means nothing. everyone commit mistakes.

if you want to point out the best protoss in the world, start summing up acomplishments. what have huk got so far? do you really know about the best asian protoss players? do you know about white-ra or any other protoss that is not from korea?

it is not great that he wants to be the boxer of SC2. if he had like 5 years old, it would be cute, but as a grow up man, having such dreams is just pathetic. you need to be a complete alieneted person to have such uthopic dreams, not a single sense of reality... it also shows that he just don't know nothing about the SC/E-Sports/Boxer history, why Boxer is mentioned like a god the way he is... there is a reason behind that, its not only because he was a good or entertaining player. oh god... i'll stop here.

HuK is a bad mamma jamma that's for sure. It will be impossible to live up to Boxer's legacy though. He put SC E-Sports on the map, so therefore that will never be able to happen again. Maybe striving to be the Grubby of SC2 would be a more easily attainable goal. (By that I mean, a white dude pwning it up @ rts games. Or whatever you want to call war3)

That is slander and an unecessary personal attack. You don't have to like the man, but men need dreams and goals to achieve certain aspirations.

If you're gonna attack the man, do it on his play style or games he plays. Personal attacks are unnecessary considering he probably hasn't done anything to you personally. If Huk wants to be a pro gamer, great. He'll have to act like a professional which at times he doesn't (e.g. "Get the F*** out" during a stream isn't the most professional attitude), and you can critique him there as well.

Grow up a bit please.

Such a dreamer, and btw SC2 has a poor micro compared to BW, so obviously will never exist a "BoxeR" of SC2, just people macro based like the new stars, even if he meant about the domination of boxer during the first years of SC BW, it wont happen thought, the difference in level between the tops will be minimal, since MANY players already have the experience of RTS games, being ex SC BW progamers or tops for example.

If you want people to take you seriously you really should start using capital letters (moreover spelling Boxer). And since when is ambition something that is exclusive for 5 year olds?

Sort of what I was thinking. Look at most pro sports where someone is on the rise. They almost always say "I want to be like so and so because he is the best".

There once were a bunch of frogs trying to climb to the top of a ladder to get a big yummy fly. It was a hard task for it was very high and filled with broken parts and sharp edges. All the elder frogs were screaming, they would fall, it was too dangerous, too hard, impossible. One by one they would fall to the ground, or cut themselves and have to give up. One though persisted, he went to the top and ate it. Now, you might ask, why did that one managed to reach the top? Well, for one, he was deaf.

Anyway, the likelyhood of Huk becoming the next Lim Yo Hwam is slim, i'm not saying he can't, but he should be ready to accept that the likelihood of that happening is not great because the skill he has to reach is very high, which most likely was accompanied with talent. But still he has every right to try.

When i read the "I want to be the next Lim Yo Hwan for SC2" i get the same attitude like IdrA.
Boxer was SPECIAL and GIFT player. HuK is just good. Probably 10% / 20% of players in beta could achieve what he achieve if got the time of HuK to play SC2 imho. But who cares what i think...

Sweet dreams...

Boxer is nowhere near the top of the most tournaments won list for SC1. He's famous more for his creative play and for being the first "bonjwa".

Another would be that BoxeR was playing Starcraft Broodwar, not a beta of a game.
