Sadly it seems I have to put this up yet again. Any of the following types of posts will be met with immediate bans:
Imbalance whine/Player bashing/Caster bashing/Stream complaining/Off topic arguing.
Stick to the games and enjoy the event and its free services and coverage. |

Part of winning a tournament like GSL is luck of not running into people that can beat you. Why make run harder on purpose? Baller tho.
It wasnt really that simple. It was only two groups left, Huk had the first pick between aLive and Bomber, but he was busy playing, so MC called Thewind and told him to pick Bomber for himself, and aLive for Huk.

Another foreign tournament where Korean trained starcraft 2 players take the top 3. IEM, MLG, and now Dreamhack Summer. A korean trained starcraft player also won Copenhagen and Dreamhack invitational.

Suddendly people think the nation where you play has to determine your nationality. It isn't like this in ANY sport, so please stfu. If people move to a nation with better infrastructures for training they don't change nationality. Messi and Ronaldo aren't spanish , they play in spanish teams. Same goes for Huk, he isn't Korean for the mother of god, he play in a korean team.
I couldn't care less about who win but the fanboysm in this thread is making me puke.
Only a few clueless people thinks nationality is the focus of discussion, this including you. What people are saying is the training style of Korean versus the foreigners, which still stands and clearly proven when the top 4 players all undergo the Korean style training.

Oh no, you mean the next semi final is the next match? Damn I assumed it was being played at the same time and the next would be the final 
Thanks! That means I'm off to bed and will have to play the dodge -twitter -facebook -TL game tomorrow until I can get to the VODs!

No way HuK will beat Bomber, the guy has way too refined macro and decision making in TvP. People said that he was not oging to get july in any world and there he is in the finals. Let them be played before claiming he is second.
I bet a rather large amount on HuK vs July.
July is playing like crap. HuK is playing decently. Bomber is playing better than the 2 combined.

Too bad Bomber will steamroll HuK. Calling it now. To be fair, everyone does the same with Koreans. MVP won? Best in the world. Nestea won? Best in the world. Even though it doesnt take long for them to fall right back down. SC2 is pretty volatile.
That's why we need Flash and Jaedong to switch over so these discussions will end about who's best and who's not. Two years is a long wait though :\

At least I get to see bomber own him in the finals (seriously no chance for huk vs bomber).. dude..you already said you dislike HuK for being arrogant (what's interesting to me as you apparently like MC), why more hatred? It's annoying seeing him cruise through an easy group then bracket followed by july playing terribly. Superior protoss' like MC/Nani/White-Ra got tough opponents throughout the tournament and performed equally well without blindly going dt's half the time, yet now half the people in this thread are talking about huk as if he's suddenly the best protoss on the planet. Sigh.

It isn't volatile. There just aren't any players who are good enough to dominate for a long period of time yet. Imagine the BW scene without Flash and Jaedong. Tournaments would be going to completely different people each time as well (Omg Fantasy is the best, now it's Hydra, now it's Zero, now it's Stork)

I dont know how others feel but only koreans finishing top places was getting old really fast. When we compare foreigners vs koreans, we're talking about the sc2 scene. Huk lives, plays, and competes in the Korean scene, and is therefore a player in the Korean scene.
So for all intended purposes for discussions, playes from the Koreans scene are still taking first second and third (and fourth). And this whole tournament just again shows how much better the Korean SC2 scene is compared to the foreigner scene.

I am kinda rooting for Huk, he need all the condifence in the world going into Code-S this season. A win here would do him good.
Something Jinro would need to get out of his slump he have been in ever since his last Semi finals in code-s ;/

I'm so happy for Canada and for Huk .

Messi plays a Spanish style of football though, even Argentinians say that while Messi is an Argentine national he is a product of Spanish football. Just like Huk is a Canandian but is a product of Korean Starcraft.
wtf are you talking about Messi is a product of the argentinians football school.
You have no idea wtf you talking about Brazil and Argentina got some of the best football schools in the world.
Jesus crist some of you people just plain silly

People like iNcontroL and IdrA have been spouting nonsense like "Korea isn't the place to be" Bullshit.Yeah if you wanna feast on the scraps and be a B-class player, stay in the US or wherever, but if you wanna take the big tournies and be the best player you can be there is absolutely no alternative to going to Korea. Amen Brother! Just look at the results, Idra has dropped waay down since he left Korea and iNcontroL hasn't accomplished much at the top.

We got a great series, a great production value, a great tournament so far with awesome casters and epic battles. And you know what.. It's all been free! Enjoy people! Did you really enjoy Huk vs July?
I'm not a fan of either of them, so I found it really underwhelming. One player played up to his usual standard, which is really high, the other one played really bad so we got 2 onesided games. Left a lot to be desired imo.
If you are a Huk fan I can understand why you liked it, but for the neutral viewer is wasn't great. € But I agree about the rest, DH was nothing but amazing thus far.
