Official interview with IdrA from MLG after his win at Pro Circuit Washington DC. IdrA talks about Korea, being back in the US, his opponents, the patch, and of course HuK's mothership rush.
...
MLG: Select noted that that he didn't have a lot of good TvZ practice heading into D.C. Should we look forward to some practice games between you two in the future?
Idra: He mentioned that he's considering coming to Korea for a GSL sometime in the future. If that happens I'd be happy to practice with him. His TvP series showed just how strong he can be when he has a solid strategy ironed out. Unfortunately, for now I can't play with him due to cross-server connection problems.
...
MLG: One more question for you. HuK had a show-stopping moment in the Losers Bracket Finals when he went for a Mothership rush. Does Huk's bravado earn a thumbs up or thumbs down from you?
Idra: It was absolutely idiotic. This is first and foremost a competition. No one can say with a straight face that he felt that Mothership rush was his best chance to win the game. Fan service is great, without the fans we wouldn't exist, but the fans are there to watch SC2, not WWE. It cheapens the tournament to do something like that.

Gosh, IdrA is such a serious player. While I think that if everyone 4 gated and 6 pooled in a tournament, it wouldn't be fun, but every once in a while I think it actually kind of makes the tourny a bit more interesting. But props to IdrA anyways, he's a good player. 
|
I actually agree with IdrA 100%, HuK honestly threw away the tournament trying the mothership build.
|
Except for the fact that, had HuK not misclicked, he very well may have won that game.
|
Good interview his answer on balance was spot on as right now it will seem z> t as bad terrans disappear so honest ^^.
Wish he could have gone to dallace + semi finals for GSL though.
|
Everyone knows Huk felt he had no chance vs Select's TvP so he did that to throw the game/please the fans. Doesn't matter if he denies, it we know it's true.
|
I would love to see Huk defeat Idra with a mothership rush and then ask his opinion of it.

No he wouldn't.

I love IdrA, moreso than I love HuK, but I do slightly disagree with what he said about the Mothership Rush. I think it's pretty safe to say that HuK didn't have much of a chance vs SeleCT, and that he had ZERO chance against IdrA. So I actually liked that he decided to just be wacky in the end and give it a shot.

Uh, no. That game was surely not lost due to a misclick.

I believe that's the point IdrA was trying to make here. IdrA believed HuK was ridiculous to concede in such a way; whether it was for the fans or not. I personally agree w/ him..

I agree that it was possible for him to win that game without the minor mistakes he made.

Thats right. If youre gonna go out might as well go out big right?

If he can't admit to this himself (which he can't, if you listen to State of the Game), then it's a pretty worthless sentiment.

Huk had zero chance against Select. Select was the far superior player, giving up and going Mothership...*shrugs* Seems like an easy cop-out for me.
|
Nice, Grack's been going to the gym. Next thing we know, IdrA will be like Incontrol and be a beast in both starcraft and real life

MLG: So, the Mothership is viable against bio, although obviously not the safest choice.
HuK: Well, yeah, it’s not like I haven’t ever Mothership rushed before, and had I not lost my natural and actually used it intelligently I could’ve won. I’ve done it before against good Terrans. It’s definitely possible to do. I don’t think when Boxer was Nuke rushing people it was the "smartest" or "safest" build, but he did it anyway and won. I’ve just got to work on that second part [laughs]. Maybe not Mothership rushing every time, but I definitely want to be able to threaten my enemy with every unit/strategy.
HuK did not give up at all.
