Gotta give credit to Huk to stop the Roach rush in set 2, I don't see many people in the world stopping such a powerful all in. It took a bit of luck, but hey, every time you face all ins you need some. In set 3 Huk played sloppy to start the game, he looked hesitant, but you gotta give credit to Revival, he used the perfect build to counter Huk's. The 3rd expo right away, burrow, take a 4th. It's tough as a Protoss to deal with that, even more so that he was stuck in his base. You need to play Protoss to know that feeling. Revival after switching from Broodlords to Ultra had to do damage and he didn't. That's where the game ended, not when he kept making Ultra at the end. You go Broodlords to force stalkers and then you go Ultra to kill them, but Huk just played it perfectly and Tasteless explained it really well. When Ultra failed what should he transition into? He doen't have a Hydralisk den, Broodlords are slow to make and easily countered by Stalkers at this point. Roaches have same issue as Ultra. Gotta give credit where it's due. Huk kept his cool despite being in a tough spot and he just showed that he has better late game skills than Revival. Revival didn't play flawless, but Huk didn't either especially early on and that's what made it a sick game. Huk is a beast late game and he proved today that he's one of the main guy in Code A. | ||

Opponents making mistakes isn't luck. It means the other guy didn't have the nerves and focus to finish it, while at the same time HuK showed great resolve and managed to claw out victories in impossible situations 3 times so far in his first ever GSL run. You quite literally can't win the games HuK won if you're not a sick good player. It can't be a coincidence, and his opponents were FAR from bad players. If anything, these kind of wins just make me more confident about his chances. Players who can pull out a win when all seems lost in a tournament environment are players that have the potential to go far and be consistent. | ||

He was one of the favorite to make it out of Code A and now that he hasn't played a perfect series vs Huk, he's just bad?

Most zergs, even Nestea, aren't very confident in ZvP nowadays. Hence the cheese. Makes me wonder if Nestea had cheesed SanZenith, perhaps the outcome would be different. | ||
