MLG: EG.HuK grabs the MLG Orlando gold
Posted by Radoslav "Nydra" Kolev 7 months ago
With a 2-0 victory (4-1 counting the extended series score) against oGsMC in the grand final, EG's Chris "HuK" Loranger is crowned MLG Orlando champion, setting up a couple of milestones in MLG history.
In one of the shortest televised series at Orlando, HuK emerged victorious after a 4-gate victory on Altar and defending MC's cannon rush into DT opening on Caverns. Those were the only two wins that the Canadian needed having the extended series rule on his side and thus brings home the $5,000 first place prize.
By being crowned MLG Orlando champion, HuK sets up a few corner-stones as far as MLG history is concerned. He is the only two-times MLG champion (winning MLG Raleigh 2010 as well) thus far and is also the only non-Korean (and the only protoss) to win an MLG tournament since the beginning of the GSL/MLG exchange program.

| Great performance by everyone. 3 EG players in top 8.... i bet EG is proud!  |
| nice gj HuK! you proven yourself again. |
| go HuK! Long live Protoss! :D |
| its a real shame no one mentioned Polts massive 18-0 run before getting taken out by Puma GG to Huk nice to see a foreigner win for a change probably my 2nd favorite mlg behind Columbus, hope Providence is as good as these two |
| finally korean lost in major competition. |
And they said zergs are IMBA look at the TOP 8 1 zerg  IDRA IDOL!!!! WELL DONE HUK!! |
| Oh my god... All these games have been absolutely insane. Especially idra vs bomber....Sickest TvZ I have seen. |
#4 Yeah, Polt went through whole team liquid, getting rid of Jinro, Tlo, Sheth and Haypro  |
| gg huk so many protoss ^^ |
| btw to all the huk haters, don't cheer on him because he was overrated rofl |
| Awesome games and well deserved, eventhough I don't like the extended series rule. They should change that in my opinion :o |
| lol :D # djoro |
| finally races look balanced i was sick of all tvt finals |
| #4 exactly. Crazy that people like incontrol get poolplay/seeded w/e, while players 1000x better then him have to put up with playing 5000 games. |
| exactly.... i mean come one -.- because of this extended series crap we had a !!! 2 game !!! grand final -.- WHAT THE FUCK |
| #15, yeah, this was the actually the only bad thing at Orlando. A 15 minute final, what the fuck? |
| boring games but nice to see huk win it |
| #11 I like it but not in the finals. Its most likely that the finalist coming from the upperbracket has already played the second finalist. But I wouldnt blame the extended series rule for having a 2 game final. Actually there would be still a 2 game final without the rule cause bo3 is played the entire tournament. And 15 minutes is the result of PvP. Do u guys beg for more TvT in grand finals? We had it enough. |
| nerf terrans more |
| Wow! Impressive achievement! |
| #6 Yeah look at IEM NY 2 Z in finals. Don't use one tour as an argument for balance or non-balance. |
| i will have love seeing a Idra Huk finals |
| What the HUK ? |
| #17 only the final games were boring. I fucking loved everything else. Almost all games were epic. |
| What 19 said. |
| i dont know why Puma didnt 1-1-1 mc, he always win tvp with that op strat |
| mlEG, good results for EG. love day9 in the photo just a lil look of approval |
| Grats HuK, nice player, capable of going through everyone |
| Is that day9 to the right? :s Doesn't look like him. :o |
| #29 That is him, yes. |
