5 gate or not, you can't suck at SC2 and be at the very top of the ladder. White-Ra cheeses far more often, so why does HuK deserve a double standard? Triple standard, really, considering all the criticism IdrA gets as well basically for not cheesing enough. "IdrA's boring. He always just expands and goes for mass hydra late games. What a dull play style." Sheesh.  Best of luck to HuK. He played some amazing games in the King of the Beta. First time I've seen mass archons before, too. | ||

He's putting the proverbial dangling carrot in front of the MULE. It's not arrogance, it's DRIVE. We could all use some of that. | ||

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. thats capoch guys Great interview! | ||

Rocked TLO in the first game, second game was INSANE and he played really well. well 1st game was just an all in and that works very good on blistering sands, 2nd game I feel TLO could have won that a lot faster then when he did, I am pretty sure he could have A moved at certian points in the game but decided to go bc's which made the game look closer then it should have been. But i don't think Huk's going to be the boxer of sc2 for protoss no offense but he doesn't' really have any creative play from what I have seen but maybe he'll surprise us who knows. He's got a tough group though to try and advance  | ||

You completely missed my point. Try again. On July 20 2010 05:00 SpavaM wrote: 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 Your post is still contradictory. You can't say the skill cap it too low for another boxer and then say that you doubt no one will be able to compete with Asians. If the skill level cap is so low that you can't have a dominating player then there is no reason why Asians should have total reign over the SC2 scene. And I didn't imply it was carved in stone so I don't know why you had to clarify that for. | ||

The skill cap could be just low enough to make the koreans equal and just high enough that foreigners don't reach it. | ||

before and until I see some more Tester action I am convinced he is the top Protoss in SC2 right now. This made my day. So lol, Huk is good, but that's it, nothing special, during this phase 2 he just lost to morrow in wolf cup, to TLO yesterday in King of Beta, got kicked out of go4SC2, ok he know how to no life on the ladder, great, but being number 1 in the ladder ranking doesnt mean shit. You say that he is above tester when he can't even approach white-ra's level ... | ||

And I didn't imply it was carved in stone so I don't know why you had to clarify that for. i believe he's implying that: the skill cap is low, so there will not be another dominant player, however, as a whole (overall), asians (koreans) will still have an edge/boost over foreigners. hence, the koreans (in general) are so much more advanced (mechanic-wise) than foreigners that even though there's a low ceiling, they can't catch up. while this "notion" may or may not be true, i don't see what's so contradicting with that. in theory it's very possible. p.s. the artosis thread with upmagic, playing the game for 5 days, and already on par, if not better than many "known, but not that known", is a testament to how easily progamers in korea can pick this up, and play at a very high level. unless foreigners can train 12+ hours a day, it's hard to be on even footing with them. p.s. go HuK, Canada represent! | ||

Not hating though. He's really good at it and If it works successfully then I don't blame him. But, eventually, his style will be countered easily by other pros and then what? | ||
