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. | ||

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 This kind of talk happened for years in BW and strategies kept evolving and ones that were once standard are outdated.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. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
