HuK has neither though.

HuK does the same thing every game. No style. Not creativity. And he doesn't have my respect at least. I've seen him BM on enough streams to not like him personally.

Someone said a pretty good quote on my vent "The only reason HuK 5 gates in every match up is because he cant macro well enough to 4 gate"

While it may not be true, I found it quite humorous.

Nice interview though, go HuK!

I think reality hit home thanks to the Day9 tourny. Just because you can 4 gate your way to the top of diamond, doesnt mean you are even close to competing with world class eSport gamers.

Hi,TLer, Comet from wfbrood.com(China).
Few days ago I have translated this article into Chinese and posted on wfbrood.com, and now I bring the feedbacks from China back to here.
Some think that 90% win rate of Huk is so impressive. But over time, there will be more gosu appear.
Others think may be this time the western people will have some advantages compared to east (I think he means that even it is still in beta, there appears a lot of famous sc2 progamers in the western world and in this case will benifite the western e-sports). But, on the other hand, there do exists a huge distance between Korea and other countries.
What's more, a netizen pointed out it is stange that Huk haven't mentioned Grrr..., who is a famous Canadian SC1 progamer.

nobody even knows if the people who are good in beta will be good after the game is out for a while. Im not talking about this guy, but more at some of the posters in the thread. Already implying that he could possibly go to korea? Get real. Tillerman won the war3 beta tournament and afaik wasnt one of the top players for very long if AT ALL once ROC came out.

this guy will go away with in a couple of months just like a lot of other people will because when you practice 8-10 hours a day and win nothing then after a little while you realize you're wasting your god damn time lol.

these guys don't play this game because its fun to them(it might be fun)they play cuz its a job. theres no point in putting in hours and hours of practice if you don't benefit from it. i've watched huks games and hes not very good at all.

i mean when your main strat revolves around the easiest rush strat a monkey can execute ,this is coming from a protoss player who was 50th US when phase 2 went down, you got no shot.
if you don't like it... whacha gona do? bust a capslock in my ass?

He's "hitting a slump" because other top players have figured out his rather one-dimensional style, which can be easily exploited. He's a technically good player, but people who are technically good and also creative will always get ahead in the long run.

if huk wants to be on the stage of idra and tester then he needs to either play solid or be creative and he is lacking both.

I don't think huk performed any bad in the tournament. he didn't do any bad overall. he was facing top notch players and did pretty good, tbh.

of course he is not at same level of all those progammers, but if you expected someone who has never had a progammer schedule and BW background to be competting at the same level of idra, tester, white-ra, etc., you must be crazy. lol

he played seriously for only a month... don't be so harsh... the only thing we could get pissed with him is his aspiration of being a boxer, but he obviously had no idea of what boxer meant to the community and to E-Sports.

remember that white-ra, tester, idra and all those people have been playing as professional for years...
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

sounds exactly like idra as well

Everything I've ever heard about HuK has been negative. Between whatever went down with him getting banned for soliciting donations by threatening to quit streaming or w.e. to his very public hissyfit over not being invited to the HDH, he just always comes across as kind of a loser as an individual, which keeps me from being able to respect or support him as player.

HuK's a great player, representing the server in which most of you are going to play sc2 in. he's won plenty of tournaments both in NA and EU including many of the top names in Day9 or any other tournament.

In no way am I affiliated with HuK, but you guys should ease up and cheer for the players that represent NA instead of bashing on them. I assure you HuK and many others are capable of competing and beating anyone in the EU or Asia server at this point in time.
