Anytime's a pretty good counter to Jangbi or Stork as well, Samsung's other two potential aces. Maybe they felt that one of the protosses were going to come out (someone playing both Game 4 and Ace is rare) and that Hiya stood a decent chance against them on Othello. | ||

But FBH sure is entertainment value. Maybe not style, but entertainment. | ||

Anytime would be a great choice if you could be 100% that Samsung is sending FBH, but because you never know you need someone that represents the favored race in that map.. and HiyA is currently the best terran in their team I guess.

There was some micro and macro in there, but that's the gist of the game. It wasn't really worth watching, but it's a TvT and I don't know how far the watchability of TvT's go. | ||

Maybe not style, but entertainment. They only lost like a few times... 70%+ win ratio, shouldnt be that hard to predict them. | ||

You are right Anytime would be a better choice I guess... but still the whole purpose behind SC is entertain... and JD would have done so vs FBH even if he lost... I mean the hype, etc... | ||

(Lomo? )I don't know, it's hard to call at the moment. I'm sure that Lecaf (and they're fans) are kicking themselves for sending out Hiya, but seriously, who could have called it. I think that come playoff season, I think that Lecaf is going to be thankful to have developed a stable full of playoff caliber players (Hiya, ForGG, Lomo, Blackho, Jaedong, Anytime...I'm sure I'm missing a few) while teams like Samsung and KTF are going to wonder how they ever got through the regular proleague season. | ||

FBH goes Wraith, and eventually builds a lot of vults to circumvent Hiya's superior tank counter and center map control. FBH uses his control of the edges to hold Hiya where he can and take expos in a timely fashion while chipping away at Hiya's tank and map control. There was some micro and macro in there, but that's the gist of the game. It wasn't really worth watching, but it's a TvT and I don't know how far the watchability of TvT's go. you are over-simplifying the match way too much. There was a lot more action than that where it could have gone either way. upgrades killed hiya. see what i just did? there was a ton of action in the match. | ||
