The problem with Select is his predictability. He has done the exact same strat for every game. Not that i'm saying it's OP, kiwi showed some good strengths and attempted to counter with inventive play, but Idra can watch Select's game and know EXACTLY what to expect. Selects best option is to change it up and deviate from what he has done every game. Select is an awesome player but it's sad that he doesn't deviate enough. What ever wins you games i guess, so he can't be faulted for that.
Be assured, Select will not be going 2 rax (tech lab, reactor) FE against a zerg.

Oh my god, what would have happened if HuK had WON with this mothership?!? :D :D :

He's here to win. He's fought hard and no one has been able to shut down his build thus far. Why fix what ain't broke?

Hey guys just came from concert, can s1 tell me what happend bwtween nony and select that tere were bo7 and not bo3 ? Nony beat Select earlier (sending him to the losers bracket) so they played a BO7 with the score (2-1) carrying over when they met the second time.
So does that mean that if Huk won Idra would have started the final series 2-0??

yeah, making a mothership was funny and all, but i feel like he just gave up.
giving up is not what winners do ever. see: select
I feel the same way... this is just like day9's story where the kid does random shit just because he lost the first game... not worth applauding like the rest of this thread is doing.

Idra is going to to destroy Select... mark my words! He's playing amazing today. Huk...mothership? you rule, I just gained so much respect for Huk.

nobody has said it so i'll go ahead and do it:
Whoever fucked up the stream early (having the camera focus on HuK instead of the game) fucked this whole game up. Because the crowd was chanting to switch the camera to the game, HuK thought they were chanting for mothership, which led them to ACTUALLY chant for mothership, which led him to FUCKING BUILD A MOTHERSHIP
^ this
I actually thought this was might of what happened because the stream was on huk playing for a long time.

What is the format for the finals?

But he's probably right.
I'm completely right.
Am I the only one who realized that's what the crowd was yelling? For the camera to switch to the game instead of the players? And then HuK asked what the crowd was yelling about in-game, and then thought they were yelling for him to mothership rush, so he typed that, and when the crowd saw that, they ACTUALLY started chanting MO-THER-SHIP, so HuK was like, OKAY!

IdrA please DESTROY this terran who keeps taking everyone out 
Props to him for winning SO many games though.
|
Select is the bad guy here. GO IDRA
|
If you cant tell that losing your expo= game over vs. a 2 base terran (with mules) then ...yaaaaaaa
|
Back seat generals in this thread are hilarious Huk is awesome.. Give the crowd wha they want.
He made a fan of me today.

Select playing like 10 games today and winning the whole tournament wouldn't be?
|
anyone find it an issue that the players can hear the crowd?
it was funny here, but the crowd could give some potential info away if one of the players is trying to surprise his oppoenent
|
I'm a huge fan of nony, kiwi and huk but select is such a beast. His TvP is scary good right now... him vs Idra should make for a good final. 
|
I find it hilarious that the people watching the games take it a lot more seriously than those playing for the prize money.
This is supposed to be entertainment. HuK was asked by the crowd to entertain them and he did. It's not like Mothership rushes can't work, they're a somewhat legitimate strategy so he didn't just throw the game away. He went for a cool move, lost, and told his opponent "good luck". What's the issue?
