Before I talk about the game, let me tell you guys a parable that very much applies to this game.

One day, a scorpion got tired of living in the deserts/mountains and decided to move to the forest. So there he was, enjoying his new habitat, when suddenly he encounters a river. He is frustrated at his inability to cross it, and is afraid that he may have to abandon his efforts of traveling and return to his origins. But before giving up, he approaches the river one more time and after a sigh, he spots a frog along, and decides to ask it for help getting accross the river:

"Hellooo Mr. Frog!" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"

"Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly.

"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"

Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. "What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!"

"This is true," agreed the scorpion, "But then I wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the river!"

"Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?" said the frog.

"Ahh...," crooned the scorpion, "Because you see, once you've taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!"

So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog's back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog's soft hide, and the frog slid into the river.

Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.

"You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"

The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.

"I could not help myself. It is my nature."

Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

Hyuk is the scorpion. It is in his nature to throw un-losable (fuck yeah i just created a word) games. It is his nature to lose focus in his games. He tricked us for a while, we are the frog. The Hyuk we knew is back. Today he choked like only he knows--indeed, he Hyuked himself. Why, how, and when, you ask? I will tell you.
1- he should have destroyed the Templar Archives and/or the main Nexus instead of flying around trying to be cute by sniping probes here and there. Jesus, leaving his mutas A-moved in the main would have given him an even bigger advantage but no, he's hyuk.
2- after his mutas got raped, he got overconfident with his advantage and didn't even tech switch to lurkers until quite later, even though Kal's army was basically all zealots.
3- he was so negligent with his expansions, he had no overlords to be found anywhere.
4- his reaction time was NON-EXISTANT. the kid just didn't react!
5- he gets hive tech but no defiler den or anything.
6- lastly, he rolls over and dies. hyuk style.

Damn it. I am by no means a hyuk hater, I actually enjoy seeing him do well. I get a sense of "i'm glad his efforts are paying off after he's been so beaten down upon for so long" when he wins. HYUK DOES NOT SUCK. He just...I don't know man, he just gets nervous I guess. And, though I may have been rooting for Kal this game cuz i like him, I didn't want hyuk to get raped. But that's the problem. Hyuk either rapes or gets raped. There is no in between with this kid. I'm sad he's showing us the old self again.

You are wrong about Hyuk.

HYUK DOES SUCK. He just stopped sucking for a brief moment.

I didn't like that story. Why would the frog risk helping the scorpion when there is nothing to gain from it, stupid frog.
