Because some users are angry about the title anyways here are some new possibilities for a title

+ Show Spoiler +
HuK: The tournament is pretty cool
HuK: "It´s always nice to post results"
HuK: The pressure is coming from myself


We from fragster.de interviewed the DreamHack-winner and Team Liquid players (P)HuK about the DreamHack and his feelings considering HSC 3.He is also explaining why he lost a lot of money at the DH after show party. As a last point we are talking about the balance with HuK.

complete interview

Here are some impressions:

Do you felt like a lot of pressure was falling down from your shoulders when you won DreamHack? That your practice finally paied off?

HuK: Yeah, it's really nice to post results when you work so hard as a pro-gamer. When you put in a lot of work and you know you lose the tournament anyways it is really disappointing. It's not like a normal job, where you can go back to the job tomorrow and you still get the same paid check or the same result to the same praise. So it's always nice to post results. And yeah I fell like I can kinda relaxe a little bit more and i'll be so pressured to do well. Not that I won't keep working as hard as I has been or even harder, but I think as far as nervs count, I will be less nervous on events to do well.

Sounds fun. How did you like the tournament here? I think you didn't experience something like this before?

HuK: It's pretty cool. It's really laid back. We have amazing people making amazing food, a lot of the stuff, who are really nice. I wish I wasn't sick. Not beeing sick would be a lot more fun, but I like it. It's a good chance, you know, to have something like this and kinda relax for a few days while playing a tournament.

Lately the protoss seem to dominating the scene a bit. What are the reasons for that? What did you think?

HuK: It depends what scene you are looking at. But right now, in this tournament like 8 of 16 in the playoffs were protoss, I think a lot of protoss player in Europe or North America are better right now than the other races. If you look at Korea protoss is not good at all. Might be a lot of the style things that the terran and zerg players haven't adapted well enough yet. I'm not really sure, I don't think protoss is op. That's what you asking.

Edit: I'm an idiot, good interview. Interview title is very misleading though, I thought it'd be something about expenses being greater than the prize money or w/e.

The title of this thread is not accurate. He lost some of his money playing blackjack, he did not lose money from Dreamhack.

What a horribly misleading thread and interview title in order to get views. People who do this kind of thing should be at least warned if not banned...

i am really sad to see that you are so angry about the headline, but in the german community noboday said anything against it :<

it is one of a ton of interviews and with reading the teaser you know everything about the interview. I don´t know where it is so missleading? It is only a fun quote from the interview and i thought everybody here will understand it as well :<

Your headline is purposefully implying that something at the DreamHack tournament caused Huk to lose money. Not that he lost money enjoying himself at an afterparty. You even have "at dreamhack" as part of a direct quote, which it isn't.

I don't like the title of the thread, it's misleading.

not like he lost money "during the event or by playing starcraft at dreamhack"

he spent money playing blackjack and buying drinks for him and his friends, that's not losing money doing nothing.

Agreeing with the above, the title infers that he lost out by like travel costs vs prize reward, like IdrA at gamescom last year breaking even. Not that he went out partying and lost it at black jack etc.

hmm it´s kinda strange that it is making so many rumors only because the headline. I don´t have a problem if an admin is changing the title. The only thing i wanted to bring you nearer is the interview with some interesting answers from HuK.

I am really sorry if you are disappointed or anything like this :<

lol can you kids stop bitching about the thread title.

I read it and it i knew immediately he wasn't complaining about the cost of going to dreamhack or staying there. If a interview title says something like this it should make you want to find out how and what. Its not implying anything else.....

haters gonna hate.

Nice interview btw

But guys i see your point, i forgot to think about the problem that i don´t have something like a real teaser text here. On our normal homepage you can see the interview with some text before you click on it.

So as i said before, i am really sorry if i missleaded someone of you, but everybody makes mistakes.

As far as an admin is reading all that he may change the title.

For example to: HuK: The tournament is pretty cool
or: HuK: "Don´t think Protoss is op"

No one is "angry" but using misleading thread and article titles in order to drive viewers to your website discredits you as a reporter/interviewer and is just lame as hell over all. I'd rather not see articles posted that are misleading just because you want to make some ad revenue by pushing traffic towards the interview site.
