bio...ball?

Psi storm?

ya what a shitty bio ball sir

Come on... Huk screwed up big time here

hahahahaha I know it was perfect timing to save my arguement! thank you huk!

Huk played like shit, therefore clumpin your units into a bio ball is a good tactic. Thanks for clarifying.

Sorry you were wrong about that bio ball being a shitty idea sir hahah You'll get over it!

poor huk hahahaa

Man... LOOK AT THIS FUCKING BIOBALL. It's just asking to get stormed.
ah I should have made a screenshot


2-2 bio ball vs 0-2 stalkers and a few storms... he was saving the templar for the ghosts which he didnt know were cloaked... you can take a ss of the bio ball, it wont matter cuz they woulda prolly just power through them.

Ok fair enough. To be honest the thing that bothered me is the lack of micro & positioning. I wish we'd see more elaborate tactics. Bio ball is nice and powerful but, the game we just saw is not what I expect from such good players. I love tarson btw

agreed dude, it hurts my eyes to see ppl go down like that. I want something refreshing and new from toss tho need more crazy play

nerchio vs moonglade shjould be gooooooddd

Huk lost because he didn't have backup templars, he should study Mana's lategame PvT which is almost flawless. Always has about 4 HT sitting back near his natural ready to storm when the ghosts come.

Yeah Manas and Sockes lategame PvTs are sexy

"Liquid' HuK > EG.HuK




please post ur broken monitor




we dont benefit the money he gets
but we do happy to have a great player playing for our favoured team
so why should we gratefull for him


Maybe because hes a player who sacrificed a huge amount to move to Korea, practise ridiculously hard (MC says he practices harder than anyone) and hes being rewarded for it? Hes not playing too great recently because he is on a plane 50% of the time.

You are so stupid my brain actually hurts having to reply to you.

Maybe it's all the pressure on HuK right now and this is why he cannot show his best. Feeling bad for him.

But Tarson showed awesome games. Well played. Deserved win.

Is that hard to make a warp prism to hide your HT from ghosts? Its normal play in BW tvp to load your HT in shuttles and unload in the middle of battle to storm but how about SC2? Never seen warp prism usage so far from protoss.

HuK is the only one who has done this, at least from games I've seen. But it was once, and I've never seen it again, so I guess you have a point


Warp prisms are the worst unit in the whole game.

They cost too much, they are either too slow for your unit ball, either too fast for it with speed upgrade, they use your robo's production queue, and they die so fast it's ridiculous.

I miss shuttles.

Perhaps the speed upgrade is there for this purpose, to allow microing a shuttle with HT without it being sniped (not sure but it makes sense)

Its just a question of courtesy to mention the teams, as its them who pay the palyers and send them to this very tournament.

this is just embarassing... first everyone loved HuK and now that he switched from TL to EG most of you guys suddenly hate him?

Where does all the hate come from? Sad thing.




Also Acer.Nerchio hhhhwwwaaaiiitinnnggg!

Probably from big dislike of EG ? Which is frankly thanks mostly to terrible PR of EG. They are good at getting sponsors, but terrible at community PR.


Having a community hate them unfortunately is just as good for them as people liking them.

Still though, Liquid`HerO fighting!

Almost.

It's possible that that the group goes
3-0
1-2
1-2
1-2



Negatory.

One of the remaining matches is against 2 of the people who already have 1 win.

I remember a few months ago when everyone was hating on Huk, little before he went to code S. ''Top 3 control lol'', ''Huk is pathetic'', etc etc. Just dig up the old GSL threads and see how much hate there was towards Huk and soon after he won Dreamhack, everyone suddenly started loving him, then Homestory 3 and then the GSL/GSTL performances. Just comes to show how stupid some of you are. Hate when it's trendy, but as soon as EG.Huk wins something you will be all over him again. This is sad really.


Huk really didn't play well when he was in Code-A and got really lucky with his bracket, then played some okayish PvP vs Choya (lol) to get into Code-S. He proved himself later

Yes but unfortunately this is not the case for the majority here.

Plenty. I rooted for Light all the way back in 08 when he played for MBC, and I continue to root for him now that he's on Woongjin. However, I'm somewhat of a bandwagoner, and I've become a fan of other players on Woongjin like Zero, and I've always liked MVP.

Of course it is, I am not supposed to that. I thought more along the lines of the whole EG/TL drama.
