umm not sure if there is a post or not- but on one of the Day9 Dailys
he talked about how it's better for them not to be seen as a pair so they don't get the equivalent of character locked like Christopher Reeves and Superman.

Socke is doing a great job, but vs. Huk it will be hard, i hope he can make it through :D
I think Socke needs to win three matches against one match for huk. Since they met in the pool play, they should be playing a Bo5 where Huk starts with 2 victories. Is that correct, can someone confirm this?

Thanks, if anyone knows the episode number that'd be nice. Doesn't seem like a big problem to me though, given how Tasteless is already paired so tightly with Artosis, plus the fact that they're on different continents most of the time. I haven't seen Day9's explanation of it though, so maybe there was some substance to it that I'm missing.

A year ago, everyone was saying the exact opposite- HuK almost always lost vs. Socke. HuK turned that around with a vengeance, but there's always a chance that Socke can step things up and do the same.

Toss gets a pass on this map since Terrran can't hold expansions.
tohugh I think had MKP done some drop harass it would of been better. I didn't see any HT on the sides of his base- they were all chilling in the midddle- even tasteless mentioned how in the middle of the map was HTs.
|
HuK vs Socke #4 was an... interesting game 
|
How is Naniwa doing?
|
Naniwa takes a 1-0 lead over MC
|
MKP needed ghost cloaking to get better EMPs off on the HTs.
|
NANIWAAAAAAAA FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!
SWEDEN :D!
Gogogogooog!
Naniwa beat MC 2-1.
is the Huk vs. Socke game bo7?
|

Yes

Sorry for Socke, but it was pretty much impossible to win with Huk's 2:0 lead. Good games though!
|
MKP vs DRG is going to be so good- hope the stream smooths out though. Little laggy from time to time- esp during the engagements (go figure). Also glad MC lost.

You make it sound like the set up isn't fair.
I like when they do extended series so that it doens't cheat the 1st winner. why should they start on equal footing when Huk clearly beat him the 1st time.

Still pretty impossible to win, even if it's his own fault from losing 2:0 earlier?!

Impossible is an over exeration in my humble opinion. I've seen plenty of reverse all kills and clean sweeps.

What would really be fair is if you could go 3-2 in sets with someone and end up losing. That would be fair. It is more fair if a player who has won fewer sets can still win.
e.g. Win 2-0 in WB, lose 1-2 when you play them again. Total = 3-2 but you lost the last one so you get knocked out.
|
SC2 isn't a forgiving game Colo
Edit: after reading your edit- yes I see what your saying now, and I could see that working as well.
This time it played out well for Huk. Hopefully he uses all his momentium he has been building and pushes his way to the top.

3protoss , 3 terran and 2 zerg at top 8. Nice spread of the races, legen- wait for it- dary tournament.
