Congrats to Naniwa!!!!
How were the games between Nani and Kiwi. Anything "special" or was it more standard PvP?

I'm pretty sure I'm older than you, but nice try. I know your kind very well.

You can keep up that tirade all you want around here. I'm sure it will get you far.

Take it elsewhere.

Omg that first game HuK vs IdrA with the disconnect was some of the best play i have ever seen.

At first I thought it was weird how HuK spent all that money getting a stargate only to build one pheonix, before focusing entirely on his ground army, but when i saw how IdrA reacted to his pheonix
by massing roach I realized that HuK was just crazy awesome.

At first it seemed HuK was trying to conceal that his pheonix were real and not a hallucination, which leads me to believe that he had originally planned on going air, but saw something that changed his mind. IdrA on the other hand seemed to have noticed that the one pheonix was real, and I believe figured that HuK was investing a lot into air production and would have a weak ground army. IdrA reacted by preparing for a mondragon style roach push capable of crushing HuK's weak ground army, and overwhelming the air with shear numbers.

But here was the cool part, when IdrA moved out with his roach push he found that HuK had fortified his natural with cannons and had a large ground army capable of tearing his roaches apart. Had HuK not recognized this threat early and continued going air, he wouldn't have a strong enough ground force to hold the endless stream of roaches, but as it was he faked IdrA into spending a lot of his larva on roaches that could have been drones. Then just as IdrA pulled back and start droning again HuK used his army to pressure IdrAs front, further curbing IdrA's ability to drone up.

Over the next few minutes this gave HuK the ability to secure his third and left IdrA's newly acquired expansions looking vulnerable. 3 base protoss is when they really get scary, and IdrA didn't want to see a third go up, but there was nothing he could do to stop it, and so IdrA did a good job droning up.
By the time IdrA had his desired army HuK seemed to simply have more stuff then protoss usually do at that stage of the game, and when IdrA was pulling up for an attack and a drop simultaneously, he was forced to pull back on the main attack, His drop though did excellent damage taking out HuK's Main Nexus, only to be defended by HuK's stalkers. HuK despite this nexus loss, played it totally cool
and retook his main and continued to turtle.

Then just as it seemed that IdrA was about to launch a full out assault the game crashed... :'(

Brilliant play by HuK and perfect reactions by IdrA, I don't know who would have came out ahead in that final battle. IdrA may have had 5 bases at the end, but HuK would have had a solid income from his 3 fully saturated bases. I think a lot of it would have came down to forcefields, fungal growths, and how good the colossi hits were.

What did you guys think about that game?, Am I over thinking this game? or are both of these players just awesome?

Me, flipping out? Don't put words in my mouth, Junior. Arrogance is bliss.

Is your last name Brain by any chance? Call the internet police because I think your first name is missing an apostrophe.

Anyone smart enough knows exactly what you are trying to do. Say, you from Toronto by any chance Pea Nut?

Enough derailing the thread. Naniwa won without cheesing every game. Get over it.
