He just plays much better against IdrA =/ | ||

All the games have beeen pretty early attacks(I think? havent paid much attention) and Destiny's style is pretty weak before infestors pop | ||

Regular practice could benefit both of them. Else, he needs to go back to Korea to see the latest trends in zvp. He lost to huk in both an all in and a macro game. | ||

He just plays much better against IdrA =/ Actually, game 2 of Huk vs Sheth was very similar to g1 of Huk vs Idra. One base opening with very fast tech into expansion, and then a push after doing some damage. The main difference is that HuK had a good read on what Idra was doing, and a bad read on what Sheth was doing. Both games the opening gave him an advantage (he was ahead of Sheth after the DTs), and he decided to seal the deal with an attack, probably assuming the Zerg would just drone hard to catch up. This worked against Idra because Idra's followup was kind of bad, while Sheth's was quite solid. HuK would've beaten Sheth that game anyway, but he derped and didn't throw the Robo down fast enough after seeing the Roaches. Also, again, what you call "macro Protoss" isn't that good against Zergs who know how to handle the deathball properly. HuK did it against Idra because Idra clearly doesn't, and Shakuras is a pretty good map for that style. Still, I can point you to tons of games where someone tries "macro Protoss" and gets raped by the Zerg. HuK clearly thinks that he needs to do these risky tech openings, and I sort of understand why. All in all, HuK played kind of bad the whole tournament. If he keeps it up, he's gonna get rolled in his Code S group :/ | ||

Now what else do we know about vehicles? Well, only that lectR some while ago posted, in this thread. a picture of IdrA sitting in a Bugatti Veyron. And what connects Bugatti to battery operated cars? Well, only the fact that Bugatti is developing a battery-powered supercar. Coincidence? And it doesn't stop there. This article was posted on May 28th 2010. Exactly one year before the first Heart of the Swarm trailer leaked. Connecting all of these facts can only lead to one thing. Heart of the Swarm will contain battery-operated Bugatti Veyrons driven by none other than IdrA himself. This will be epic. | ||

I was thinking it was about a terran though since they, well, like themselves some radiocontrolled racecars. (With flamethrowers on their roofs.) | ||
