It's very risky, most of times won't work, no matter how much ground units you have. well yeah the normal approach would be go to a bio heavy army, assisted with vikings and medivacs and upgrades to counteract colossi. the problem with that is that pressuring becomes increasingly harder, and late game tvp becomes difficult as a high number of colossi can simply shred a bio army before the vikings can finish them, so it requires a tough balance between vikings and ground army so you don't get run over, especially with the threat of an ht transition. i imagine that drewbie wanted to forego upgrades past +1 since they would require a factory and armory, which is very costly, and just put all money into marauder marine and use the overwhelming numbers to 1) expand faster and everywhere with map control 2) apply pressure 3) keep armies small, since terran works best in small fights. i don't know which is better, but i definately want to give drewbie's style a try | ||

I just dont think HuK should get any more then alot of players in NA that are atleast as good as he is. HuK is just geting started guys, he nothing yet compared to what he will become if he keeps working and beeing as passioned about the game as it seems he is. Hopefully he will learn some basic theory and play once he gets to Korea. I see HuK winning mostly because he's been working on mechanics and stuff that makes you win in the early development of a game instead of focusing on gaining a good basic understanding of fundamentals. He's winning so many games he should have lost just by keeping his mechanics going when others fall down, but his play is still pretty bad. Ive said some things about HuK that might make you think ive got something against HuK but I dont. I think HuK will rise above every other player in NA except for IdrA. His passion and hard work has built him very solid mechanics and once he gets more routines and learn basic RTS concepts he will be a BEAST! Hopefully ~GSL season 6 we can see HuK as a major contender for the title! And remember things will be alot more solid and tougher then! | ||

I hope machine wins if not slush. personally I think machine or slush are only 2 players that can beat idra 1v1. Machine has solid zvz and slush has really innovative zvz builds which will throw idra off. | ||

If you play a macro game, you lose to templar warpins + collosus accumulation. He was obv trying to go mass marine/marauder + mass expo for a huge amount of units b4 templar. It didn't work  Stop looking at the game one dimensionally. The reason all Terrans are doing these 1-2 base strange builds, like "tier one forty minutes into a game" is because a macro game is impossible to win. Good play by huk either way  and great casting | ||

Rooting for HuK in the semis to keep holding down for Protoss, though I wouldn't feel too bad if Machine went further considering his poor luck with brackets in the past. | ||

Don't worry other terran players like Avilo complain about the same thing. I was sad to come back and see drewbie got 3-0'd .I predict Machine to beat Huk 3-1, Slush to beat Lz 3-0 or 3-1 not sure which. But I do predict a zvz "finals" (i put "finals" because winner that is not eg faces Idra  .)Ah after seeing the post above me drewbie lol not supposed to try something new in tournaments sounds like TLO | ||

Day9 the master! - Knows so much, so experienced and great expert analysis. I just wish that wheat got to lead the show and day9 be the expert he is. Day9 geting so trimmed up and exstatic some times you want to just mute the sound. However when he's giving analysis its like plugging a cord into the back of your neck that automatically upgrades your brain! Just like in the good old classic The Matrix! Best casters there is, always a great time! | ||
