When playing in an important series or finals Huk really seems to crumble to the pressure on his shoulders. I know... like the time he crumbled in Raleigh.. and the time 2 hours ago he crumbled when trying to win $1000...o wait.. What a dumb thing to say when the guy just won a big tournament and $1000. | ||

Besides that, I enjoyed the games despite I wish HuK won in the end... Thing is, you just can't outmacro IdrA late game apparently! Maybe true, but IdrA plays against the top players in the world. HuK plays against the top North American players, and HuK pretty much is the top North American player. IdrA plays against people above or equal to his level, HuK plays against people who are mostly below his level. You can't get better that way. | ||

Idra is an asshole and always will be an asshole, its just his personality. It must be hard to be that wrong. Not gg'ing after he held off w/ voidrays was one thing, but after his natural was killed again and he knew IdrA was on 6 bases... then it becomes BM. Type GG and move on. Anyhow, great tournament in general. Day and wheat are good together and the production quality was awesome. A shame for either ustream or your internet crapping out a few times, but still enjoyable to watch in between chapters of reading I postponed. | ||

The matches were setup quickly, the time between breaks was announced and actually followed, just all in all a very well done tournament. Kudos to the staff and the players. And the seating was amazing 0.0 | ||

It was BM yes but it's not like he wrote "Fuck you" out of spine crawlers in the middle of the map. IdrA was just being IdrA. HuK was wasting his time though, after the first roach bust it was GG no problem, I think IdrA knew that when he expanded what, 3 times at once? Plus IdrA is allowed to be cocky and BM, he's damn good. When he BM'd in BW it was really obnoxious and pointless because he was nowhere near the top. However now IdrA is just playing phenomenally, and he's leagues above every other pro in the American scene. He's totally allowed to be cocky. | ||

I hate to say it but HuK was just wasting his time at that point. The only thing left for HuK to do was hide pylons around the map. ... This laptop is worth 1500$. How is he wasting time? | ||

Did you even see the game? edit: he'd have won without the keyboard too. keyboard and mouse break... simultaneously | ||

I agree, it like one of those Terran player who would fly their building all the way to the side and you have to tech up and build flying units in order to kill the buildings | ||

That's pretty much true (with some exceptions, for exemple HuK training with Boxer at blizzcon) and that's why I just can't wait to see him perform in GSL3 and the future ones. He will obviously benefit from the higher level of training there and I definitely think he has what it takes to make a name for himself, even in Korea! | ||

Finishing like this after such a sc2 feast, I hope idra will grow up one day and become respectable for his character and not only his skill. Huk should stop wasting Idra's time after he just got off a plane when he has no chance to win. Bad GG timing. | ||
