You were right! In fact HuK ends up with more games won than the Ukrainian beast Dimaga, and HuK is technically the first foreigner in the tourney to break the Koreans.

So, I'd say qxc and HuK completely smashed their haters. All players deserved their place in this tournament, and no one is going home entirely empty-handed.

Wow, this game definately favors 1 basing way more than BW did. Over half of the games in this tourney have been like 10 minutes long. Can we please have highground advantage back?


People haven't stamped out build orders and proper counters to early game. So lots of counters simply win the game outright because people haven't found the proper balance of their builds to prevent that type of thing.


It goes beyond that though. Theres just a lot of viable options on 1 base and u can mass more units on 1 base now than u could in brood war, partly due to all the macro mechanics. Early warpgate pushes for example are just deadly.

On top of that with no highground advantage its much much easier to win just by having more units. For example u can have like a 3 stalker advantage and just win by busting a ramp whereas in BW PvP ud need like a 10 dragoon advantage to bust 2 zealots and a few goons on a ramp. Basically now its super hard to defend without simply having more units, which is why 1 basing strats are so viable.

Also the games been out for over 4 months now, with so many top players constantly working out new builds, so we're slowly leaving the "don't worry, its just cause everyones clueless at the game" stage


I agree somewhat. While this game does have many more viable 1 base builds, there are not as many that will remain viable after timings and counters are really thought about. Further, arguing that we've been playing for 4 months is meaningless given how large many patch changes were. People will really learn how and when cutting workers is necessary, timing windows for failed attacks will mean people will stop doing earlier strategies as well. This kind of talk happened for years in BW and strategies kept evolving and ones that were once standard are outdated.

Just because we have more experience in RTS now doesn't mean all of the top players are simply gods and have worked out all of the kinks in their game and strategies.


People seriously forget how BW was 2001-2004.....


Most definitely. This perfect image of BW gets to everyone's heads.

Stream is also failing for me, btw.

Of course they haven't but theres quite a few reasonable and stable builds out right now. To summarize my argument really quickly: 1 base builds are much more common now because of lack of highground advantage. Whereas in BW you could expand / tech while surviving with fewer units than the oppoent, in Sc2 the only way to survive is to match his unit count. this is obviously a bit of an oversimplification but I feel that's what it boils down to, and thats why 1 base builds are so good now.

He got his gas stolen and tried to transition from that into an in-base pylon 3gate all-in.

It was a bad decision, especially since HuK saw that he transitioned to 3gate and checked for pylons with his first Stalker. You can't pull that transition off effectively except off of a gas steal that takes your first gas instead of your second - otherwise your warp tech is delayed too much to overrun the other guy, let alone when you're trying to win with a 1 warpgate disadvantage.

mmm I didn't really see much qxc hate. As for the huk hate he kind of played to the expectation but that isn't really a big deal. Several of the games have been one base shit (tester's korea style 4gate, dimaga banelings) because that seems to be the least risky of the current strategy pool.
