I havent seen the Code A games before, only going to follow it now because of foreigner influx.

But really.

Let me remember what I saw in the last 48 hours or so


1. Half scvs stopped mining after banshee harass

2. Queen chasing overlord halfway across the map

3. 1 Pylon powering 4 gateways

4. Zerg army split with one half attacking a cannon and pylons (and the other half getting owned)

And that's just off the top of my head.

Guess which top europeans played thosee games. If you've been following Assembly, you should know. =)

Socke picking Steppes of war and cheesing like he did is equivalent to admitting he's an inferior player who can't take on HuK in a straight up match.

While I agree that he's not in the same skill-class, it's is very disappointing that he didn't even try to prove himself given such a nice opportunity. I used to really like Socke but he just lost points here...

Let's hope Ret wins this now! In his last interviews, it sure sounded like he'd need such a motivation boost.

It means Huk's metagame is weak, and his is too dependent on his mechanics and micro. But unless you are 10x better than your opponent at that, you can't overcome a serious deficiency in the metagame.

Oh man I am just imagining:
Khaldor - main play-by-play
Take - Presentation/Interviews/Background
Darkforce - Strategic Analysis
....
would easily rival MBC's casting standards

I wanna see MorroW beat Ret in the finals. Can you imagine Idras reaction?

IF you followed the Korean scene at all, you'd know that Code A players absolutely destroyed Code S players throughout the GSTL. It wasn't even close; 10-2 or something similar.

In fact, Code A is probably the tougher tournament at the moment, the top half of Code A might be better than the top two thirds of Code S.

I don't understand this. Socke won a nice blink stalker game and then got a cheesy win on a terrible map, but it's PvP and Huk does the same. I like both players and both of them deserve credit for how well they've done at this tournament. It was a huge all in by Socke, but that's what you do on Steppes- you either all in or you lose to an all in. Huk's build was a good response, he probably just wasn't used to the timing for that map.

Anyways, I'm mostly just curious why on earth the Assembly organizers would allow Steppes in a tournament.
