Our SC2 editor Jonas Strisland interviews Chris 'HuK' Loranger , star Protoss in the TeamLiquid squad.

After his recent success there wasn’t really a question which SC2 player we would interview next. The player with dual citizenship from Canada and USA, HuK have since the beta in SC2 been one of the most loved and respected players by the fans. In the interview he talks about everything from his recent victories to his future plans for SC2.

I would say harder, one of the hardest things about being in korea is just missing being around your friends and family; and other native english. That being said I still love being in Korea and don't really plan on leaving, although it is a possibility. It helps obviously to do well but whenever I go to other LAN events and start coming home to Korea, in my mind it is home; and I'm always relieved to get back.

I think its possible but would be more difficult, in general I do a decent amount of my practice on ladder, and the korean ladder is just that much harder then eu or na... But I think with the right individuals under the right circumstances you could mimic a similar situation. Just in general people in NA/EU are lazy and less hard working.

Hmmm thats hard to say a lot of them teased me when I first met them and said "hey champ" or something like that, but I don't think anyone can really treat me that formally since I joked around too much lol... Nothing really has changed that much I don't think.

Well I think both of us could have that, they told us beforehand to pick one person to come up and talk to you in between games. I had a lot of really good choices: hayder, tyler, MC, victor, jos, etc... To be honest MC would of probably been the smartest strategical choice but not really what I wanted. Wasn't so much tips or hints as much as it was just encouragement and things like "you are out playing him" , "you got this", "just plays smart and you will win" kind of things.

I guess it was a relief, but myself and my team knew I could always do it was just a matter of time. I was more confident but other then that just played better then my opponents and won.

Its PvP so there isn't that much preparation, to be honest I won't even do any specific practice for it probably. I haven’t really decided how I want to play but I have a few ideas, really will be if I decide to play straight up or try some more special tactics. I hope so.

LOL no but I kind of wish. The koreans commonly complain because me and Jonathan (mostly me pushing it) order chicken allllllll the time.

A lot, I LOVE California sooo much, I think if I moved back to the US I would want to move there. Also MLG are always SICK events and even sicker now I hear so I can't wait to go back. I would hope so I will definitely try to make that happen.

I'm not really sure, its not like I plan on saying controversial/stupid things just kind of happens some times. Either way the way people view it, it's more likely it would come when I'm in a slump then when I'm winning. (i lost assembly and said that comment thus why I got so much shit for it). But I definitely will speak my mind when I want.

I havn't decided if I want to play really, I would of course play if it was under better conditions. But since a majority of the qualifiers I would have to play from South Korea where the lag would be horrendous I'm not sure if it can happen. If I made it to the LAN event I think I would have really good chances to make it, but playing to qualify for that online from Korea stresses me more then I think it is worth.

I'm not really sure, me and IdrA get along quite well outside of SC2 actually, I mean were not the best of friends that talk everyday but whenever we meet at events and I go say hi or something we get along fine. (weird he never likes to be the first person to make a move as far as this). It's no problem I think we both just try to play our best.

Well dumb people say dumb things all the time, I guess because it's coming from Kotaku it just got a lot more publicity then it should have. I don't mind so much I mean people have their opinions and no one should fault someone for what they think, but obviously I don't agree with it either.
