In order to have a rivarly, you need two competitors who face each other on a regular basis. That's why the drama between Prost and Senna existed. Both of them were so good, and met each other regularly on the track. That's why we could see the meltdown within the team happen.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that I'm a fan of both HuK and IdrA, I'd be the first to admit that neither of them are consistently good enough to really have a legitimate rivalry. They'd have to meet each other in the group stages or finals of every event to really see a rivalry grow. That won't happen any time soon.
The other factor that prevents a Senna/Prost rivalry from happening in Star Craft 2 is the environment. We aren't at a stage where there is real, true emotional drama making its way to the public eye. IdrA may share choice words about HuK's play, or slam his headphones on the desk after a tough loss, but any emotional outburst greater than either of those, or dissention within the team, is had either backstage or in the hotel room. It never makes it to the public eye, and that is largely because of the lack of independent and/or hard-hitting media, and also because of management that is capable of controlling the personalities. But that's a topic that has already been beaten to death in our community in the past.
