A foreigner Finals would be absurd: have we even seen a finals with 2 players from the same team? If we haven't seen an IM/IM or oGs/oGs or ST/ST Finals, it seems laughable to be predicting a foreign Finals. In fact, there are only 2 foreigners in Code S period.
|
These definitely look like interesting groups, D and E especially. I'm hoping to see the SlayerS boys, Mvp and Bomber come up, and Rain move back down. Jinro fighting! (and good luck HuK! <3)
|
I think the polls would've been better if worded "Who DOESN'T make it out of the group?" but that's just me.
|
Huk's first post was from on his stream when he plaied and beat IMMVP on ladder. At the beginning of the game he begged MVP to pick him to which MVP repied "No, you gosu". I guess Huk wasn't happy with the group he got but he should have more faith in his abilities. If he beat MVP on ladder (and very decisivly btw in a 25 minute game) he can take MKP and MMA. Those are 2 great players who are very good at PvT but Huk doesn't need to mindset where he is going to beat himself up over this and he will have already lost. Hope Huk will pull it through.

I dare say there will never be a foreigner finals in GSL this year. If Huk loses, the chances of a foreigner not getting to the finals is 31/32 -- pretty obvious statement you made don't you think? It's pretty obvious that Huk will get knock out. Next thing they will say is that they believe Huk will win code A.
Ok. Just curious.. have you been watching HuK's stream? Do you know how many top players he completely smashed on ladder?
I think at this point, his StarCraft skill is kind of indisputable. The only point that he should focus on is how to bring up that skill on a televised match. If you compare his play in GSL and his ladder games, it's like night and day difference.
During his ladder games, he has incredible micro and very good macro. During televised game, he just... idk... chokes? I'd say HuK has great potential. If he, like MC did, overcomes his nerves, he will do great.

Ladder =/= tournaments.
TheBestfOu was on the top of the ladder ( DOMINATING ) during season 3 and 4, but in GSL he was getting knocked out in rounds of 32( and not like, unlucky loses. He was getting outplayed in every single way).
It's just one example.

The whole point of my post is to say that HuK has skill. I clearly stated that he has difficulties in tournaments and he should improve on that. I also said that he will do REALLY well if he can overcome that.
Please read my post carefully
In GSL, it seems that he get outplayed completely and I agree. What I am saying that if he can play tournaments games as well as he plays ladder games, there is no reason why he can NOT stay in code S.

I dont think he was arguing that ladder = tournaments.
His point was ( and I agree) that Huk plays much better on the ladder. Playing on the big stage of the GSL in front of a live audience can put an emence amount of pressure on someone. We haven't seen the skill in the GSL that Huk shows on the ladder. If he can overcome this we'll see an improvement in his play.

Rain actually has a decent shot of making it into Code S again since he only has to take out Rainbow. He wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell in most of the other groups though 
This arguement isn't really valid because they have to pick a 4th place and a 3rd place. the 3rd place has already done better than at least 6 other people who are in the up/down and deserve a shot against a 4th place player.
Poor performance shouldn't be rewarded.

fuccckkkkkk..... huk..... sorry you're gonna have to move back down to code A

It's still not a great system, and does encourage the survival of some weaker players. What they should do is pair off all the third and fourth place finishers into groups first, then let the top two from code A pick which groups they want to be in.

the really bad news for huk isn't just who he's playing against, but that he only has 1 chance and it's not gonna be an easy one regardless of who wins

After every Rain there is a *drumroll* Rainbow!. Sorry MVP i couldnt find a way to put you in the joke

HuK can you atleast stay in Code S. its really frustrating as a fan... 
|
I will note that whenever MKP plays Huk on ladder he does some kind of cheesy all in.
This must be to: a) hide his true strategy b) conceal his fear of Huk c)possibly both.
