Ha Battle.net is blocked at work. Too many WoW nerds I guess.

Huk (P) vs Silver (T)
Intense game that stays pretty close the whole time. Silver is an unknown player that has been beating some of the top pro's in the Intel Extreme Masters Tournament.

I've seen a number of videos with Huk and I'm impressed at the amount of multi-tasking these guys do.

Huk must play allot of games. He is good but he's not better than Idra or Silver so far.

Edit: it's the North American top 200. Allot of those guys play multiple regions

www.sc2ranks.com has the worldwide ranking. HuK is still #1.

You must've seen the few times he's lost o Idra and Silver . The guy is good and probably plays way too much SC2 .

Yeah according to the link the tournaments I watched he lost. Not that loosing a tournament makes you a bad player, but I never thought of him as the top player. Better him than Idra though.

Mind blowing revelation, HuK apparently started off playing Starcraft on N64. D:

Is there a good site besides teamliquid's too see videos or get replay files of the top players matches? I would prefer these with commentary. I was hoping for something simple like a youtube channel too.

Husky is a pretty annoying commentator, but he posts a lot of videos.

I would love to get a hold of some of the actual replay files to watch the games from the point of view of the players. I would like to see how blazing fast they are compared to my slow clicks.

So today was funny I really pissed off this guy, we are doing Co-op game vs Hard PC. This guy in our group is a total nooblet I can tell because by the time I had my first gateway up he was just getting his first pylon up.

So I went "If you get attacked first niehter one of us are going come to your recuse" he was in the rush spot too

So he got rushed and I went "let him die, build up your army and we'll back each other up when the time comes" The other player said it was rude and that we should save him and I went all that will accomplish is waste

So he got owned, I looked at his build order when the enemy attacked at about the 5-6 min mark he had 3 zealots and 2 stalkers. And the PC was dumb enough of course after destroying this guy to destroy all his buildings. Granted I suspect this will happen a lot.

Well the enemy came to by this point, I had a army of about 27 units with 4 photons on my choke I had about 12 zealots and the rest stalkers. My buddy came in to back me up, of course the PC tosses everything it has at you at the first rush so we immediately counter and win hands down

My korean friend has a AKPM of triple of what I had, I still own him in SC2...We played today and because I knew the tech tree I was jumping around him.

Also my man stat in game is build army, with a few ds wait for enemy to strike first because D always has the advantage I will destory their army and counter rush them. It generally works.

Ha, I like Husky but I can understand him annoying some. I like HD, Day9, Makh, and Psy.

Psy is great is great if you like sarcasm. He casts his own games, and plays nothing but zerg.

You can sort by players, and other options. Have not used it yet, but it seems pretty good.
