huk just stayed with void rays only for too long. they cant hold their ground on their own against a good marine/viking army. he should have transitioned back out of void rays in time...

IdrA is going to have a field day with this.

Very nice job by Silver to cling to life as well as he did as many times as he did.

For those keeping note, Silver just beat three of the eight invitees to the King of the Beta Tournament IN A ROW.

2-0 over IdrA, 2-1 over qxc, and finally 3-2 over HuK.

HuK didn't really have a base guys. He lost the gold and both his main and expo had hardly any minerals left. Meanwhile Silver was coming at him with an army. The caster did a horrible job of looking at the game and made it seem like HuK had the game won, when he didn't. IThe game was a lot closer than it looked and was still well played by both players. Caster's fault for not examining the game well.

Silver isn't noob, but he abuses the strength and versatility of terran. It takes a good terran player to do that, but race balance has to do with that.

It's too bad Idra didn't win.

That was such a retarded series, ugh. And the piss poor commentator didn't help.

That guy is honestly the worst commentator I have ever heard for any video game broadcast. That's saying a lot since just about everyone has tried their hand at casting video games, and that guy is the worst.

Really weird series. All in all Silver plays quite strange. I feel Huk should have won game five though, he just got caught in a very bad spot with his Voids.

atm, terrans just have too many and too strong options for harassing while simultaneously building up a strong army imho. they got the arsenal to exploit pretty much anything.

Very true, Silver uses the Terran versatility very well. Bunkers, Turrets, Sensor towers. It's pretty much impossible to scout what he's doing.

The problem is the games are just boring. HuK tried many things like fast Obs and mass Void Rays. I'm pretty sure 2/3 base Carriers would be next.

yeah I don't get people saying he's bad, for beating all those players consistently, and not by cheesing or taking them offguard, sorry but he's strong player actually, this comeback was really genius move, most players would've been stuck there "oh my god void rays are destroying everything and I can't kill them, that's gg"

I didn't know about him but I'm really impressed by his play.

Oh and yeah, this caster... the fuck, just remove him

The caster was horrible

Silver is just a cheeser and the commentator was horrible.

"That banshee got 3 kills. So it paid for itself."

3 scv's = 150 minerals

1 banshee = 150 minerals 100 gas

Uh, I'm no mathematician but I don't think that's paid for.

Not to mention him missing the nuke being made, that SIlver never used, he missed the medivac drop being destroyed, uggghhh he was soooooo bad.

I find it exceedingly hilarious that that commentator said that Huk's 2 gate robo push was an "all in cheese"

I couldn´t disagree more. I really like Puremiss commentary. It is very hard to singlehandedly cast games but he makes it interesting and entertaining. I also enjoy the music he plays

Easily one of the better casters ive seen/heard!
