Goblin, I pretty much agree with you. Except I think ITR will beat Idra. I think finals will be Tester vs ITR.

Either way I still expect Rainbow vs Tester in the finals with TLO as the darkhorse in the race. For some reason I'm now feeling Rainbow will pull an upset in the finals. | ||

Sure TLO/Idra should be able to defend against it, though, they clearly are expecting a more tech heavy choice. Have to agree that sen should be in here, definitely one of the most talented sc2 players around.

But I do have to agree that Huk made a mistake not getting the extended thermal lance. the way i see it once u get a decent # of colossi, each time u have to kite is a huge damage loss. charge is only really comparable to lances in PvT, every other MU it's no contest imo. | ||

I am stilling wondering why WhiteRa picked blistering sands in the 3rd game after Dimaga had used baneling busts on him twice. Why would he favour a map with a back door over a huge map with 1 entrance like LT? I know walling off with 2 gates is a strong build, but that is still a vulnerability which he had to spend resources to defend. Who knows, perhaps he would have been able to hold if he could have put those 3 extra cannons at rocks instead of having to build defence at both positions. | ||

The lack of thermal lance upgrade for everyone to see is classssssic, haha. I was annoyed the whole game because he didn't upgrade thermal lance. I think it would of been a better game. Not that the results would of changed but the game itself would of been more exciting. | ||

Yeah Blistering sands definitely fits into his usual strategy. I think as time progresses, Huk will develop more variety in builds. All I'm saying is that Huk truly has the potential. Right now he has perfected his 4gate push, and now he obvioulsy needs to add more variety to his play. On July 22 2010 01:39 DC Elite wrote: Huk is so bad, not even in the same league as these guys.

Huk took a game off both players, he can obviously compete. Sure he likes to 4 gate, that's simply his style of play. It's like saying if Idra can't macro his way to victory he can't win. His probe harassment is nothing negative. There is nothing to do at that stage and is definitely an annoyance to deal with. Lack of thermal lance was definitely a bad mistake, but even the best make mistakes. Such as tester...double core and then chrono boosts the wrong core. TBH I think that's a dumber mistake...just not as costly. I don't even know why I bothered replying to a troll like you, but whatever. | ||

Why? Because it wont effect anything against a good player thus is just a dick thing to do. I suppose it is indicative of his attitude as a whole, based off the latest interview, the guy thinks he is good, but really is just a probe/gateway unit rush kinda guy. Zero chance he has a professional career in SC2. | ||

idra is the most predictable player in the tournament , regardless of what oponet is doing he always opens 14 hatch 15 pool or something very similar and then proceed to mass hydras - so pro ;p huks problem is timing and bad ctrl 1 micro but yea he has potentials and u can see this vs tlo. tlo just turtling and massing op terran units , doesnt rly stand up to his hype atm imo , everyone can turtle and mass bcs or push with mass tanks and win in this strage of game . white ra plays unexpectedly good , consider his last tournaments + 2 jobs so no practice time The 2 korean dudes are by far and away in another league than the europeans or u.s contests imo . | ||
