I don't think Revival played it too terrible, he had a nice contain and was delaying Huk's expansions for quite a while. That was definitely his game to win and he did make some mistakes.

He outplayed Revival in the late-game sooo badly. I dont see why shouldnt he won.

He shouldn't have, he was stuck on 2base and let Revival macro up and get whatever army he wanted. Then Revival decides that GSL isn't for him and chokes more than fucking anyone I've seen.

Does Huk still think PvZ is his worst matchup? I know before he went out to korea he was saying it was hist worst. And yea revival threw that game away.

imo he should never had been able to win that. 4(5) v 2 base, Zerg can't break him as soon as HT comes out. Amulet HTs defending 3rd base easily, and for some reason he pumped ultras when he scouted 10ish Immortals ? But people saying Hydras are the answer, they melt to storms also. The late game for Protoss is seriously strong vs Zerg.

I think huk read a muta switch or something cause he made a lot of canons at the back of his base and teched to blink but he managed to win it anyway... GG!

Wow. This is the worst zerg player I've seen.

I've seen a lot worse

He did a nice push in game one, came close in game 2. In game 3 he did a nice macro game, he was at 4 bases when HuK was still at 2 and couldn't really counter push. He even teched up to tier 3 nice and early, which other zerg sometimes neglect.

He just completely broke down late game. It happens... Still a lot better than not being able to play early game though

I imagine he thought: Let's just make my most powerful unit, I have all the money and gas in the world.

Everyone saying Revival blew it, sort of, but only a fantastic player would be able to capitalize on it.

I just think Revival had no idea how to deal with that army mix. High templar/archon/immortal/blink stalker just seems like an incredibly strong combo, and it takes a lot of experience to know what to do. I felt like Revival wanted to do an ultra/ling/infestor to stop it, but HuK had excellent feedback usage and managed to catch a few infestors out of position.

Revival choked incredibly hard there.

Don't take the win away from Huk. The Zerg made mistakes and Huk pulled out an incredible win. It's silly to deprive Huk of the victory. He made a truly electrifying recovery.

Like I said, HuK didn't win the game, Revival lost it.

Although, huge props for winning without a single Void Ray or Colossus, a refreshing playstyle to watch. It's not new, but just so underplayed anymore.

Revival messed up, but still, props to HuK for holding on and managing to come back after losing the first game and being up against the wall in game 2. Congratulations on qualifying for the up&down matches!

Oh, and I loved Kelly's comment about how Huk was Huking him up. Huk really came from behind and Huked him in the butt.
