Honestly, keep it up, you're doing great and next to TLO you are my favorite player. It's so cool to see foreigners in general do so good instead of watching Koreans all the time. Keep dominating man, gl gl.
As much as I dislike HuK's play, etc. He is right and wrong
Canada isn't exactly a booming eSports country, We Canadians don't get much support as far as games go.
US has alot more people = alot more players = alot more *better* players.

nice interview....
Did you watch his recent game in the Day[9] tournament v.s TLO? He did damn well and these were 30 minute + games. He isn't just a cheese toss, his macro game is pretty impressive as well as his late game skills in general.
And everyone who hates on his style, and then turns around and hails to WhiteRa is just sad. Again, he is definitely evolving.

I wonder if he is from the good Vancouver side or from the evil eastern side!
Anyway, good interview... interesting stuff. GL Huk!
I really do hope e-sports gets a boost in NA... SC2 is very fun to watch, but just difficult to get into mainstream people's minds. However, once they start watching, they won't stop!

An all-in 5 gate was INSANE? I call that stupid.

I'm sorry both players played like idiots that match. I was expecting much better out of both of them. It was a definite yawn fest.

Why does it "not compute", the lower skill cap means that the difference between a great player and a very good one will be more subtle, and about the other part... Asians have sick training regimes and determination, and I said that time will tell, not that there is something carved in stone (spelling?).
Anyway, best of luck to HuK

You think it's impressive to cut probes and 5 WG all in on blistering sands? It is the easiest build to execute in the entire game by far. If you surprise your opponent you win. Otherwise you will be at even footing and only have to worry about not getting EMP on your entire army.
As far as Huk go yeah I agree with the statement that he plays an overly aggressive style with pretty clunky transitions. In all the games vs TLO his relied on doing alot of damage or contain his oponent for ages. When that didn't work out he simply lost in the long run.
His skill in terms of macro or micro isn't bad but the builds he's choosing to use are not taking advantage of them and so that's why I think people dismiss him as a gimicky player. Once we see some more streamlined PvT builds (and hopefully new maps) I'm guessing every protoss including Huk will add some variation to their play.

Nice interview and even sexier pic n_n

Really? Theres a defined skill cap already?!?! Are you sure you dont mean theres a lower learning curve? Theres a vast difference...
A skill cap insinuates that there is only so good that a player can get.
A lower learning curve (as opposed to bw) just means that its easier to pick up, it has nothing to do with the skill cap.

This skill cap is more like a mental cap, cause it's all in your head (not in a rude way, such as to call you a retard). The game is brand new. Do you remember how much skill it took to be "great" at SC1 when it first hit shelves? Probably not, but it certainly didn't require much skill. Sounds like a boring game, right?
Then, mystically, out of the fog of several years' time came the development of great tips and tricks and new things to control or counter! As people expanded their minds, they expanded their own pretended skill cap!
Same thing happens in all games, it'll happen here. A "Boxer", if it must be called that, could be born several years just as was wont to happen for Brood War.

I was calling the second game INSANE which didn't have an all-in 5 gate. Let me break it down for you.
"Rocked TLO in the first game": 5 Gate was the first game.
"INSANE": Battlecruiser game....HuK lost but that game was batshit insane.

I think this thread got mixed up with the "push a player down and try to kick him before he gets back up" thread, if the comments are any clue...
