I don't care if Terran haven't won all the big tournaments I still love watching Terran's lose.


Man, I'm a terran player and I agree with this. All the respect in the world to SeleCT. He's a micro beast. But, any time I'm watching a player for 3 hours and you know exactly what he's going to do from a strategic perspective, it just gets boring. Yes, tactically, he's impressive (I don't want to say "brilliant" because, even tactically, its the exact same stuff every game). But when everyone in the building knows your exact build and your tactics, regardless of the map or even the situation, and top notch players still have trouble with it, it indicates a problem.

This isn't a general character trait like "HuK is aggressive" or "IdrA is passive", the man gives you the same build order and tactics every game (yeah, yeah ... reactor against Kiwi, woweee). It'll be interesting to see, post tournament, whether top guys can poke holes in the carefully crafted and field tested SeleCT produt.

An IdrA/SeleCT finals will be a fight of the least creative top players we have in NA and, oddly, I'd still give my left nut to watch.



This is exactly the criticism people were giving Flash when he played his turtle style. How did that turn out?



agreed. Idra will feel better if he can beat select at select's best game.
and vice versa.

Huks popularity increase > the increase in prize pool between 3rd and 1st.

This. He really showed some personality by going mothership .

So many whiners in this thread. HuK gives people the most awesome exit from a tournament possible, and there are still people complaining.


there is nothing awesome about quitting and trying to "please the crowd"

he's going to fail hard at gsl 3

I know Huk has won a lot of fans with this move but i think it was a gross disservice to his existing ones along with Team Liquid and its sponsor. If he values showboating over victory then he really needs to look at his goals as a progamer.

Select playing like 10 games today and winning the whole tournament wouldn't be?


Sadly, mothership has much more influence on crowd than hard work. Don't get me wrong i appreciate that HuK is not hungry for money but it was loser's pick. Strong players are not driven by crowd so easily.

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


Yes, hopefully now that MLG has seen how well these SC2 events are going they will think it wise to invest in some main stage time with soundproof booths for the final few matches.

The grand finals will be two consecutive best-of-three series, if Idra wins either, he is the champion. SeleCT needs to win both to take 1st.

Sorry if this is posted already, thread is going fast.

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.


Having a set macro build that works every game is awesome. It makes it seem closer to bw but having a defensive build that can defend everything AND allows you to pressure super hard is dumb.
This style is basically like PvZ against mutalisks except the muta contain starts 4 minutes into the game.

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


You dumb.


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!


So I guess in a way the mothership rush was HuK's idea.


I guess you contradicted me. Oh wait.
