Of course in those games they did, but those players have done far less to prove themselves than Huk so anyone who thinks any of those players are in the same league as him is a moron. Of course they could continue to have success and establish themselves as players of the caliber of Huk or even better, but my point is that I expect him to fix the holes in his game and stop losing those games. Will I be right, time will tell. Besides Hasuobs said he watched a ton of Huk's stream to prepare for the match, who is preparing for any of these players. That is something you have to endure if you want to maintain a spot at the top. You can bet that people will be prepared for roach all-ins at the next MLG he participates in for example. | ||

He'll only do that if he stops travelling around the world every single week for every single minor/major tourney that invites him. Otherwise he'll continue to be extremely inconsistent. Doesn't matter if it's PvP, PvT or PvZ, he crashes out early in many, many foreign tourneys. I just don't know how he can get good practice with the amount of travelling he does. With the results and actual play HuK has been displaying lately, I find it hard to rate him higher than the top Eurotosses and expect him to drop from Code S in the Up/Downs. | ||

I just don't know how he can get good practice with the amount of travelling he does. There was such a massive explosion in eSports this year and that had tournaments and players scrambling to adjust, I suspect that things will settle down a lot in 2012 because we have already seen some evidence, I mean look at the players who were interested in IEM at the beginning of the year and the first event of next year they have dKiller and dde qualified from America. I love BitterDam and will continue to watch, but it is clear to the top tier players who are interested in competing in Korea that MLG is the event to focus on and of course the big money events like IPL, and Dreamhack. | ||

As for sc2 it seems like MVP will scoop another 20k christmas money for his girlfriend and Polt's christmas present is the participation in the blizzard cup. Still damn impressed by xigua, Kas and Titan! | ||

I hope finals won't be completely domination by MVP: Good luck Xigua! I believe! Not sure how to look at this, the utopian view would be that the glory of a victory here would have the biggest effect spread over a country of almost 1.5 billion people. But the paranoid view of my fellow Americans is that the swarm will engulf us. But of course players like this can only help bridge the gap between China and the rest of the world and make the world closer. I'm happy to see him have success because this year has clearly been tough for him with the failure at IEM China that he didn't even qualify for and the fact that he couldn't go to Blizzcon even though he did qualify for it because of visa issues. I have all the respect in the world for top tier zerg players and they are so fun to watch. | ||

Bit of a shame Polt gets in to Blizzard Cup if MVP wins as he's been so off his game recently I can't see him getting more than one win in his group, who knows though, could surprise us... | ||
