Obviously HuK is accomplished, that does nothing to prove that he doesn't have a problem with nerves. There are an unlimited amount of talented, successful competitors in any area who have extreme issues of anxiety when trying to perform. The very simple explanation is that they would be even more successful if they didn't have the problem. It doesn't have to be so debilitating that they can't compete at all. | ||

Look at Bomber. dude could be one of, if not the best Terran in the world, but he is inconsistent. Its not nerves, its just really the nature of the game. Thats why when we see a stretch of domination, like MVP in 2011, its something to truly marvel at. when i look at what Huk has done, i don't see someone who chokes. I see a somewhat inconsistent player who has enormous talent. I think winning 4 major titles and being a successful ace for oGs shows that he isn't a player who chokes, but rather one who performs well when the pressure is on. When he isn't performing well, he is usually out of tournaments earlier. | ||

It also doesn't mean that he "chokes often." Not every loss is attributed to nerves or choking. | ||

The SlayerS terrans aren't that good any more, IMO. It's so nice to see that players like YuGiOh and Puzzle are doing really good. | ||

I didn't say that it proves he chokes often, nor did I say that every loss is attributed to nerves. The OP claimed that HuK performs well under pressure. I am aware of a general view about HuK(which has been echoed many times) that he has issues keeping his nerves under control. So I was merely asking what the OP is basing it off of. | ||

Well, everybody has problems with nerves because we're all human, except maybe stephano, but if you look at how HuK was able to win his ace match even though HuK himself was the one who convinced the coach to play him shows that he has the ability to perform under pressure. | ||
