And tho kiwi hasn't really had the wins that HuK has, kiwi can threaten with a lot more strategies. HuK, and most protoss in general favor the Stalker+Colossus a little too much imo. Terrans can almost just blind counter it at this point. I'd love to see more protoss going templar/dt/phoenix tech against terrans. (ala GSL2) I dunno templar/dt/phoenix is a lot harder. Hopefully players will figure out how to make it work but I've seen that fail quite a bit more often than stalker-colossus. I think maybe one or two players in GSL2 looked like they were getting the hang of it? Not sure off the top of my head. | ||

you sometimes lose to players that overall are worse than you. it's what you achive in the long run that matters, so plz take a look at HuK achivements so far in sc2 tournaments, and stfu. | ||

You forgot to add JP... yeah I know he doesn't play in tourneys but at least he talks with the community in podcasts. | ||

In gsl2 TLO was very unfortunate to play Sangho in the first round and would have advanced vs most of the field. Furthermore, TvP is his worst matchup and frankly I just don't like his BO and plan vs them. His macro and micro is still very strong and he'll work out a new plan vs P one of these days. I know, but Hyperdub was better in every single game of those 3 they played, I hope you agree on that at least? One fluke nuke changed that game. TLO is entertaining, I give you that, but at some point he has to start performing. Otherwise, we have to just accept that he is at the level he is showing at tournaments I guess. | ||

It's live. And if it isn't it might as well be. It's not like they are playing games we know the result of. | ||

It's not something new, it has always been his flaw Not really that great fan of HuK play, I especially dislike his early colossi play and inability to ever use templars it seems , but what do you mean by high level player, I think he is high level enough. Especially compared to Kiwi since he kind of defeated him. I like Kiwis play better when he is not doing something totally stupid, but he does that too often and that is I think reason HuK ends up in tournaments higher than Kiwi, he is more solid, although last two games didn't look like it.Also love all the people here saying that HuK is getting worse or is actually bad based on what, two games really level of logic here is so high | ||

It is live, damn it. Otherwise Tasteless wouldn't be making sarcastic comments when they are showing the bracket. It is pre-recorded. So at the time they are filming the games were live, but it is basically a tape delay. MLG Raleigh isn't really that big a stage compared to this, and the brackets put him in a lot of PvP which he's good at. You can't use MLG DC to back your argument up then dismiss MLG Raleigh. Sorry. Fact is there have been 4 "big" North American events, HuK won 1, placed well in 2, and we'll see what he does when this one is over. That isn't choking on the big stage. I'd put that resume up with pretty much anyone outside of Korea... and I'm sure I'm missing a lot of smaller tournaments online that he won or placed well in. | ||

Is that why we know the results hours before the games are shown? IT IS NOT LIVE. They f-ed up with the live stream and are now showing us what they recorded, but couldn't stream at the time of recording due to technical issues). | ||

It's just a simple fact that asia > rest of the world in sc2 aswell, people will start realizing this soon when all their hyped players make ro32 at best. Only one who actually has a chance is idra because of his background and practise over there. It's really hilarious when people say stuff like this. Compare the level of play at GSL ro64 versus MLG DC. MLG DC >>>>>>>>>>>>> GSL ro64 except for like 4 games. I mean seriously there were some embarrassingly bad matches @ gsl. Idra for example just flattened his opponent. Just wrecked. | ||

For people who paid to watch it for 40$, they get live coverage in every matchup, watch it in HD, no spikes, and can switch through any channel. I'm watching it with directtv and TLO seriously can not play zerg. Just helping you guys who say it's not live.... Trolololol. | ||
