One of the best things about HongUn is that he does some rather cheesy all-in that prompts tons of people to bitch and moan about how he's a terrible, cheesy player, then suddenly he turns around and plays a great harass-based macro game with Phoenixes. It's too bad that he had to knock out Jinro, though :/

So true. The result is kind of he doesn't have a "style" that can be "broken". Like all the things people seem to do against IdrA, like teching and expanding at the same time, because they know he's not going to be aggressive.

I think it makes him a better player that he's willing to do things like the four gate he did against Jinro. In future games people are going to have to make sure their builds can deal with it if it happens, and if he plays a long macro game that could give him a small edge.

I, too, loved his phoenix play in that last game. Shame about Jinro, but I do love HongUn.

My main complaint about Hongun is probably that he does all-ins and stuff while at the same time having pretty bad micro, but then game 3 last night he played a really solid game without any really obvious errors so I don't even know what to think. He didn't even seem to be playing that well in games 1 and 2, his build in game 2 aside.

He does shit because he thinks it's a good idea.

Too many people seem to be idealistic regarding all-ins, or playing a macro game. He thought it would be a good idea to 4gate Jinro game 2, so he did it. Just like in game 3 he thought it would be a good idea to open with phoenixes, so he did that; regardless of whether or not other protoss players open with a stargate or not.

I think you're right about his micro though, I really noticed it in game 2. Especially when he attacked the bunker leaving half his units behind.

Yeah I don't have a problem with all-ins per se. I just don't think they suit his strengths(whatever those may be) usually.

Well, he doesn't do all-ins that much. Weird builds, all the time, but not many of them are actually all-in. His micro isn't as good as some of the real masters of it that we've seen in the GSL, but it's good enough to pull off his builds, and that's all you really need.

He's next up against oGsMC on 8th March, Bo5.

I think this will probably be him knocked out unfortunately. Again though, they'll be fun games to watch I'm sure.

Which episode? I'm curious what they're saying about him, since IdrA has such a low opinion of him xD

Just watched game 2 (managed so far to not read any comments in case of spoilers).

Was on the EDGE of my seat.
