Whatever money that HuK lost from using that mothership rush . . . I think he'll more than make up with sponsorship considering how popular he's going to be.

I will have to say, I loved HuK in this tourney(except for vs idra and last game vs select). He played really well and was fun to watch. I am also a bit confused since I believe people bashed him a few months ago for being a bit BM? I'm not so sure tho, but he seems like the nicest guy anyway...

Anyway gg, now hope Select wins, though medivac drops are just a lot less effective in TvZ than TvP and TvT and it's kinda Select's bread and butter :/ Fucking sucks though, now gotta go to work

Arrrg missing the final most exciting game

Do you even play StarCraft II? Do you know how this game works?

Pop quiz: Did HuK build a fleet beacon before or after he lost his natural?

well regardless there is nothing wrong with going mothership, huk didn't lose the game by going mothership, he lost the game by losing his nat to early pressure

Select is a damn beast, and props to him for owning so hard thhrough the loosers bracket. But this is a sport and people cheer for their favourite... so I say "Kick his ass IdrA, show that T who's boss!"

IdrA should 6 pool if Steppes is chosen.

exactly.

huk's behavior is unprofessional. If you want e-sports to be legitimate, you can't support his behavior. His actions are self-promotional.

oh come on. Esports is a SPORT, meaning it's for entertainment. Look at how popular HuK's become because of this. This isn't golf, where you're supposed to be polite. It's a damn videogame. I was entertained, many other people were entertained, and no sponsor's going to see the loud, cheering crowd or this "unconventional" move as a reason not to invest in esports.

WTF with making Select having to win 2 BO3's to win the finals. Really disliking this. Why couldn't they just do a BO7?

Because IdrA is undefeated in the tournament and Select lost a bo3. In a format like OSL, Select would have simply been eliminated.

To be fair to double elimination, Select has to beat Idra twice.

Weird format to the finals, but I guess it's the right thing. Yeah, it's fair.

I think Huk was planning on doing carrier or mothership rush that game because of really early second gas compared to normal 1 gate FE, didn't matter to him if he won or lost just making his fans happy :D

SeleCT's road to the finals is definitely what makes eSports so much fun to watch.

this guy is right

he thought "well, i know im behind, so i will go mothership to try to pull off a surprise victory"

and then people are surprised huk loses. oh huk gave up

u guys do realize if he played straight up he would have lost anyways, right?

no? im not surprised u people don't realize this, despite how omniscient you all are

The fleet beacon was already finished before he lost his nat? But i liked that he tried it and gave a good show aswell.

Guys, any re-streams available for the finals? The MLG stream is lagging non-stop for me and I have no idea why. (Got 100 mb line.)

Sorry if streams were posted before in the thread, but couldn't find them in the OP.

Like Artosis and iNcontroL said in State of the Game, people need to chill the fuck out.

HuK is out of the tournament.

Let it go.

It is a Bo7

It's just idra starts with 2 wins because he's in the winners bracket.

I don't understand that Liquid`Tyler vs SeleCT result. 3:4? Why was this a Bo7? I'd look myself but I don't want to dig through 280 pages of comments. Can someone enlighten me as to why this wasn't a Bo3?

This was in Losers Round 8. The reason I ask is because the MLG bracket isn't updated yet and it says Liquid`Tyler 2:1 SeleCT. Very confusing. Also, had the match been a Bo3, would Nony have advanced instead of SeleCT?

Huk wasn't throwing it away he was simply using a legit strat that COULD have worked. If it did you would be calling him a genius. But so many of you are complaining because he doesn't take it serious? It was fun, remember that? fun, it's what starcraft is about.

Yeah. Not to mention, that EVERYONE was cheering for a Mothership on the thread before the game ended. Now that HuK lost, everyone is like "Wow I can't believe he just gave up."
