I think ima wait for GSL code A match ups.

What? Did you even watch Code A last time? Most of those games, excluding TOP's, were unbearable. These games have looked much better and players like Morrow, Ret, Socke, AdelScott are on their game.

Did you even look at the Code A lineup for next month... Most of the best players from GSTL are in it... Pretty ignorant statement right there.

that was the most awesome game i watched yet in this tournament, and its 90% because of the german caster

I liked Khaldor before this series, but now I just turned it off. His bias was so annoying, in the beginning I had no idea who I want to win, but after first game I cheered for HuK.

I hope you dislike Artosis too because his bias towards
A) westerners
B) zergs

is so ridiculous that it makes him look like the Ron Santo of Starcraft casting

Slightly, but when he is commentating he tries to keep it under control and mostly succeeds.
But my reaction was purely subjective dislike, I am not saying there is something actually wrong with cheering excessively for your countrymen. It just put me off. Unlike some I actually like Socke a lot(even cheered against Jinro on Oasis in MLG ) and think in PvP he is definitely HuKs equal.

Some only learn by example. I think you're going to have to lay the banhammer on a few people to send across a strong message.

people bashing huk for losing to Socke need to do 2 things.

a) remember how good Socke is and how pvp plays

b)go to the first page and look at the field in this tournament, ro8 is far from being terrible.

Shame the Huk vs Socke game had to turn out that way, not just because I was hoping Huk would win but mostly because this strat on this map just isn't entertaining to watch. Regardless, well played by Socke!

To be honest that game was more entertaining than the standard pvp. Socke taking a risky expansion and losing in a base trade was horrible and boring.

I dunno why Huk saying he was the best player there was bad. Nothing against the other people, but he actually moved to Korea and practices every day against the very best players in the entire world. He gets to practice with Nada, MC, TOP, Inca, and everyone in OGS. His whole life is Starcraft. He feels like he should be able to beat anyone due to the training he receives. There would be no point moving his life halfway across the world if he doesn't truly believe he is better than the people who stay at home and practice. Not saying he IS better than everyone at the tournament, but he's a very good player.

Also everyone talking about, 'Wow, Huk only got into Code A because he got seeded!' That is so short minded. Don't you guys remember when Jinro didn't even get into the Top 64 of the first two GSL's? Then he got into the third and has had BACK-TO-BACK TOP FOUR FINISHES. People like Bomber, who is considered one of the best players in the entire world by all the Koreans, isn't even in Code A! People act like getting into the GSL is an easy thing to do. It's all based on luck of the draw.

Luck of the draw?
This why Idra qualify everytime despite playing the easiest race to cheese?
Artosis qualified for the first GSL as Zerg as well.

As you said, he six pooled every game. It was hilarious because he made it as far as he did with just one tactic.

Huk's every bit the impish prankster who loves proxying, people on the TL forum must just be unhappy that a TL player lost, imagine that.


actually he switched it up and 7pooled too. just fyi

I don't see whats wrong with Huk simply believing in himself, he never belittles anyone, hes just confident, which is how he should be.


This. I feel like HuK is saying these things just to set himself up with he right mindset. HuK wants to view himself as the best. Other players like to view themselves as the underdog (IMNestea for example).

Yeah, I've watched him quite a bit and sometimes they do cast in English as well.

Can someone explain all the hate towards GLHF?

They have casters so bad that people would rather watch the German stream despite not knowing German?

Please tell me why they are bad instead of making absolute statements without any base yo.

Technically it was a rhetorical question, not a statement. Also, watch and find out for yourself. No need to start a discussion about why they suck yet again.

I am watching the stream and enjoying it. However I can see in this thread and in the chat (lulz, I know) that people literally HATE them. I dont get why.


As someone else said, they're not very good at analysis like Day[9] or Artosis, nor are they particularly enthusiastic like Totalbiscuit or Khaldor. Coupled with a poor attitude (Maven walking out last night because he wanted to go to bed?), they just don't have much going for them. They're not terribly BAD, just pretty amateur compared to what people have gotten used to.

Thats a bit trolling

Cant agree with you tho - Socke, Morrow, ret and Adel are deffinately top tier europeans.

I would place Socke and Adel 2 of the top 3 Protoss here (naniwa other), ret and morrow 2 of the top 3 zergs (Dima other).

I can understand people are angry about Huk e.g. their favorite player losing in a PvP but all the hate towards Europe and the quality of players is just awful.


Pretty excited to see the semis, morrow seems in pretty good shape

I wish nazgul would chime in with some rational words to calm all the sub 50 post american and eastern european kids who worship HuK as some god and any one beats him got lucky

No terrans in Final 4, suprising all things considered, with the level of terrans in Europe

Actually i think ca. 90 % of the top Terrans were overrated. Kas, Sjow and maybe Strelok and Naama are the only ones who were everytime on the top. Just look at play by some terrans like SarenS - he had worse macro than Grubby.
There is much too learn for Terrans from now on, Protoss learned to play against them. Zerg most likely also. Maps will make it much worse.
I honestly dont expect many Terran Winners in the next big european tournaments.
