NA: Major, Cruncher(They hate him due to matches on TSL3 vs Idra, but he's really good now). KR: oGsSTC, Bomber(Yeah, this guy doesn't get enough credit. IMO, he's world's top now). | ||

He's really hyped and the community thinks *very* highly of them... well, here's the best demonstration of how thoroughly hyped HuK is: The other side of the HuKoin is the fact that he's really really effing good and they hype's merited. Also correct. But he's not significantly under-rated. IdrA as overrated? Hm. Possibly. He's almost universally the last foreign Zerg left in most tournaments. But if one's going to call IdrA over-rated, one needs to call the *entire* foreign scene over-rated. Because the hype that foreign players get relative to the hype that equally-skilled Korean players get is not equal. Which is an argument for IdrA's overrated-ness that I find salient. Sen has lasted longer than Idra at 3 consecutive tournaments (ones they both participated in) | ||

I'm sure there are plenty of Code B guys deserving of more hype than even sC, but insofar as known players go, he's pretty much it. The funny thing is, on Chinese discussion boards, netizens hype sC on pretty much the same level as MKP. So, it's all just a matter of different community perspectives. | ||

Why do you think that hype is a bad thing? MC is hyped. NesTea is hyped. Bomber is hyped. All of them are hyped. They're also really really freaking good. Hype can be merited, as is the case with HuK. On July 18 2011 09:26 red4ce wrote: Sen has lasted longer than Idra at 3 consecutive tournaments (ones they both participated in) Point taken. | ||

There's a difference between hype and results, that wasn't people voting based on "oh huk is so good he'll definitely beat mc" it was "oh huk beat mc in their most recent series, he can do it again" | ||

I am very, very sad that we won't see him at MLG Anaheim, but he's going to prove my point by winning GSL instead (go Huk!). He just went to dreamhack and lost...:/ | ||

Because people are hyping him as a Code S winner which he's not. Winning foreign tournaments doesn't mean much compared to GSL. | ||

SaSe, Stephano, Hasuobs. I'm on the fence about PuMa. I'm pretty much prepared to say he's the best terran in the world, but most people would (reasonably) demand more evidence in results rather than simply seeing and interpreting his play. I guess it remains to be seen, but for myself I think it will only take him a few seasons once he reaches code S (a foregone conclusion in my eyes) to win a GSL title. Vastly overrated: Idra*, Tyler, Grubby. Merely overrated: Rainbow, Trickster, aLive *As far as he goes against the foreigner community, I would easily be comfortable in saying Huk, Sen, Naniwa, and Thorzain are significantly better players. Furthermore there are others trailing not so far behind, yet of the above only Huk has had the opportunity of extended training and activity in Korea, spanning back to his time in broodwar. Since day 1 Idra has been hyped exceedingly, yet iirc his single best result there was a single round of 16 in GSL finish. Jinro achieved 2x top 4 finishes in a much shorter span of time. Idra deserves to be held to a higher standard, yet he has never delivered commensurate results. | ||

It wasn't him winning HSC that influenced the poll it was him beating MC (the player who he is against in the poll) during HSC. | ||

Did you read that guy's post? He said "make the finals in every single foreigner tournament he chose to enter." | ||
