I'm not really sure what happened in that match. The first thing that comes to mind is that I think Huk had an early probe advantage, so despite building his nexus later, I think once he got it built, then after the transfer, Huk's economy might've shot ahead, allowing him to build 2 extra gateways, and also with that additional economy he could continually warp in stalkers when his warpgates were cooled down.

Either way, can't wait for Huk-Nada.

Top 3 control indeed. His control in all of the games was amazing, even vs Bomber. It was more his decision making that lost it vs. Bomber. Huk's schedule is so crazy- literally flying circles around the world just to play SC2. I was afraid after his showing in NA Blizzcon Invite that the travelling was starting to get to him, but he played really well today.

Huk Fighting~!

I can't explain how Killer lost those fights that badly. To me it seemed like he had the better position. Oh well, gratz Huk!

Killer was ahead and then fell behind in unit count significantly with Huk doing nothing but having a much later natural.

Clearly, Killer fucked up somewhere.

If you notice, after HuK's expo finally got up, he had 4 more probes than Killer still.

Despite having a much earlier expo, Killer could not saturate them both enough to make use of it. I think it's cause he was afraid that HuK was gonna attack and didn't make probes for a long time.

Good job by HuK to feign aggression when he's behind. A risky tactic but clearly paid off here.

Im surprised that ppl gives so much credit to Huk. He plays an ok game but more like SangHo throws away the lead hardcore

I guess while killer was walking back home huk got just enough kills to pull ahead in stalker count, and killer upgraded charge but hadn't made enough zealots to really beat mass blinkstalker.

Today, huk managed to turn his PvP korean winrate to positive after an awful start.

Great job to huk for staying solid and fighting it out despite his disadvantage.

Killer engaged with a blob of units into huk's concave. Also, he didn't keep up on his macro, thus negating his expo advantage.

Great play from Huk :D:D:D Sad that he has to play Nada

Also, despite what he says about the matchup, I think we often see Huk's skill shine brightest in PvP

WTF guys...I am sitting here unable to watch, reading the thread, seeing tons of messages like 'HuK is dead, no possible way to win', I get very sad, and then all of a sudden 'HuK is ahead. GG!' TT

Huk had 6 probe lead (32 to 26) like forever while killer had 6 stalker lead. Normally this would allow killer to macro up, tech up, or kill huk, but killer just did nothing until things started to even out. A favorable engagement for huk sealed the deal.
