Let’s be realistic. HuK is basically an amateur playing in the pro league. Did he dominate? No, he didn't. Did he win any series? No he didn’t. Did he win games? Yes he did. This is probably the first time HuK has really been tested. It's cliché but what he does next is important. If he learns from his losses and comes back and beats some of these guys, then yes he can make it. If not, well then all these player hate will be true.
Love him or hate him, HuK has an 18 page thread about him on TL.net. He HAS made a name for himself which is what a Progamer wants. Day9 and other important casters feel he is worth doing shows on so for the time being HuK should feel proud.
Like a lot of people have said though... the next few months are going to be difficult for foreigners as South Korea starts to focus more on SC2 rather than BW.
Who said South Korea was going to focus more on SC2? A lot of the pros haven't begun considering it...and only a few people have said that they were going to switch over.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Broodwar is still the main weapon of choice for South Koreans.
Jeez this thread is still up? I said it once and I'll say it again, as of right now, the only reason why HuK is on top of the world, bnet rank-wise, is because he all-ins every game on randomized matches. The player who faces HuK over a ranked match will only have one game to play against him. More than likely, the person won't know who HuK is, and will play regularly (build a modest army, while trying to tech/expand), and boom, HuK comes in with an unstoppable army and wins. HuK got a win off of everyone in the KotB tournament mainly due to the element of surprise, but lose the set because his strategy becomes predictable.
Look, I'm not saying he'll never be "pro", but as of right now, his notoriety is undeserved.
oh wow, that truly is pretty pathetic display of character.
Somehow i knew that HuK is something like this.
He already said it wasn't him. However, I've never met anyone playing DotA who is halfway decent who isn't a raging douchebag. Like seriously, even people who barely manage to not go negative every game in semi-pub leagues thinks they're the best thing ever.
He's seemed pretty damn well-mannered so far. A little sarcastic at times, but it's just a sense of humour. Hell, not like it matters. Even if that WC3 video was of him, that was hilarious shit-talking. It was so comically bad.
As a big fan of HuK, I have seen HuK have grown throughout the years in terms of gameplay. He wasn't a very successful player like idrA and white-ra back in the early beta and opening but he has improved tremendously to be like them. Now that every time is trying to grab him and now leaving OGS-TL, I hope he can still improve with no korean pratice partners.
Good luck in EG HuK. Hope you can improve idrA's ZVP now

They said even puma plays with all his old partners. If you look at the interviews you don't have to be on the same team to practice. Im sure he is friendly enough with a lot of ogs players that they will help him prep for non ogs opponents
