Solid play, but seriously there's nothing amazing to what Huk played. He was save early game and then camped on 3 base defended until he hit an army thats not beatable by Bio Terran.

I'm not taking any credit away from Huk here, its a solid play and his defence was good - but it wasn't amazing play either.


The early game play WAS amazing. He is dimensions different from the way he was before korea.

The most impressive part was the stalker control. He is simply not afraid of terran bio, even in the early game. He actually took out marauders with concussive shells as if it was normal.

At every single turn he made the better decision and had the better control. qcx couldn't do anything. You won't see that from other protosses.

The late game however was sloppy and he built som random pylons (pylons are good for scouting drops sure, but you could tell some of them were just built for fun). He was really cost inefficient and wasted colossus and so on. But I think that was just because the game was already over.

But the early game play definitely made me think HuK is the best player here. As long as he concentrates in the late game, I have a hard time seeing anyone taking him out. Perhaps you have to be protoss to appreciate it but the early game play WAS freaking amazing.


...? I'm sorry but I see players on ladder doing the same. 2 rax pressure can be defendet especially with Zealot / Stalker. Huk used stalker only with good scouting and knew his opponent went up in tech (hellion) so a really hard Marauder/Marine push is unlikely to occur. He played good in defence, but it was nothing amazing really.

Naniwa is the same, White-rA is the same, also Adelscott can defend well with gateway units.. so yeah. I don't know your level, but I'm not impressed by things like that. I have much more respect of Zergs reading the game well than that.

And no, the early game was not FREAKING AMAZING. It was rock solid.


Edit: And please don't missunderstand this as talking Huk done. Because I think he's a really good if not amazing player. I just don't understand that hype for actions like that.


All I'll say is that these two games HuK vs qxc, qxc really impressed me just because it was totally one-sided. I mean, it wasn't even close. I doubt white-ra and nani could make it that one-sided. Or perhaps you think qxc is overrated?

If you want to call it rock solid, then sure. Rock solid. And I'm good enough to know what I'm talking about .


Yes, I think Naniwa can make it equally one-sided. Easily. He has one of the best army - controls I've ever seen of a player. I really never have seen Naniwa fuck up badly in a fight / micro situation. Thats really one of his strengths.


Then I haven't seen enough of him. I've no problem accepting that there's lot of rock solid / great players.

But then again, if you do recognize that they are really, really great; then why did you make the post saying. "meh, that was nothing special".


Because it was nothing special. Not if Huk does it, not if MC does it and not if Naniwa does it.


Well okay, sure. Then we're just arguing semantics.

Anyway, let's see nani take on ret :o!


Sure haha :D just looking forward to good games. Socke vs Huk could be good and RET VS NANI :D!!!!!

We promise with a view to hope, but the reason to "accomplish" what we promised would be fear.

Only good thing is that now we don't get Teeler vs HuK, would've sucked for both to lose.

What makes them special is that they're that solid so consistently.
