Chris Loranger, (born May 10, 1989) better known by his in-game name HuK, is an American-Canadian professional Starcraft II player for Evil Geniuses.
Chris holds a dual citizenship from Canada and the US, although he usually identifies solely as Canadian for competitions. He grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He had a troubled childhood, with his family affected by poverty, "domestic-, drug- and alcohol-abuse". After a run in with the law during "rebellious" teenage years which led to a stay in juvenile prison, he moved to Cambridge, Ontario, Canada with his father. Later Chris praised his father's decision to move saying: "Had I not moved to Canada my family and I both agree that I would most likely be in the military, jail, or dead". Chris said during an interview, in May 2014, that he "played StarCraft II instead of joining military in order to eventually pay for school".
After moving to Canada, he started playing Starcraft: Brood War, switching to Starcraft II when the beta was released in 2010. HuK began playing for the team VT Gaming before moving to Millenium in 2011.
After playing for French team Millennium, HuK was announced as the newest member of Team Liquid on September 25, 2010. On August 16, 2011 it was revealed that HuK would transfer from Team Liquid to Evil Geniuses as his contract with his current employer was about to expire.
HuK initially found relatively little success in competitive Starcraft, advancing through the group stages at DreamHack Summer 2010, but losing in the first playoff round. He performed well at MLG Raleigh 2010, winning the tournament and took 3rd place at MLG D.C. 2010. He also found modest success in notable tournaments including MLG Dallas 2011 and SteelSeries StarCraft II Challenge, finishing 10th and 8th respectively.
