I am willing to lay down my 2 cents that he MAYgo to Korea (seems unlikely enough) but he will not be an icon for e-sports. He will simply be another great player. Most likely among the foreign scene. HuK certainly has quite a lot of talent and skill, but I hope his ego doesn't get in the way. There's something unsavory in referring to people kind enough to share an account with you as downers. | ||

Best of luck to him anyways and lets hope the interview doesn't result in people considering him the next player to hate on. It's absolutely required for a professional to have dreams and goals and it shouldn't be taken the wrong way. | ||

Its very nice to see a Canadian on top of ladders and competing at a pro level in starcraft. Hope HuK starts playing Zerg though or I cant really support him. JK. | ||

US has so many more players total that there are also more "better players" total. | ||

Calling himself the next emperor after establishing an image as a constant 4 gate all in "lamer" is not really going to result in a very positive overall opinion of the person no matter how good the player is behind the curtains. Hell even TLO, the person who the public imagines as the strategic genius, would get a lot of negative voices if he were to compare himself to such giants as Lim Yohwan. Best of luck to him anyways and lets hope the interview doesn't result in people considering him the next player to hate on. It's absolutely required for a professional to have dreams and goals and it shouldn't be taken the wrong way. I think you need to learn to read. + Show Spoiler + What are your long term goals with E-Sports, is this something you will stay in for many years to come, or simply a phase? I hope so, really depends if I can keep at it, the hardest part for me is staying focuses. Its really hard for me to play 10+ hours a day but as long as I can keep the drive I think I can compete with anyone (even korean progamers). Basically I want to be the next Lim Yo Hwan for SC2. That is the quotation which has caused this unnecessary torrent of negativity towards Chris. I have to say, I did not take it out of context, but it seems many of you have. He says he WANTS to be the next Lim Yo Hwan. WANTS being the key word in this sentence, he does not compare himself to Lim Yo Hwan, he does not say he is going to be the next Lim Yo Hwan, he simply says he WANTS to be the next Lim Yo Hwan for Starcraft 2. So please, stop being bad mannered towards Chris, he didn't say anything wrong. In fact, I am glad he wants to be the next Lim Yo Hwan, it shows desire for something great. | ||

Yeah but that doesn't make you the next Boxer either. :/ And yes he is a good player, but by no means the best foreigner... Or even close. Oh yeah, and BTW for all you saying his dream is to be as good as Boxer, this doesn't sound like dreaming it sounds like a statment... Basically I want to be the next Lim Yo Hwan for SC2. | ||

Agreed, in fact, just the fact that he uses the Emperor as his ultimate goal is what I'd consider a compliment to the aforementioned. | ||

HuK is a former WC3 player, he and his 2v2 partner LIGHTKNIGHT69 were the most bad manner 2v2 group in all of battle.net for WC3. If you don't know them and you played them you'd think they were just some random lamers, but they (especially LIGHTKNIGHT) been trolling Blizzard games for years. | ||
