Nuclear frikkin missles :p

Honestly I thought Huk was better than this, glade did not show any impressive play at all imo. Sorry to the AUS guys, no offence :D
Hopefully this series will be better.

Pretty much because he didn't choose to go train with the team in Korea/Indonesia or travel to tournaments due to personal issues.

If HuK can't even beat Moonglade he will be in big trouble vs nerchio.

When exactly do you think the deal was reached? He just won gsl matches despite all that

Needs refinement, but still. His timings on larva (injecting and making units) are amazing. His injects were quite bad the last game, looked like his main queen had around 125~150 energy only 20 minutes in.
Yeah but they weren't limiting his production. He playes like a good ladder player and needs refinement in these aspects. But in general, his play is quite good. I liked how he made a point to burrow every injured roach to heal them.

And the most scary one: stim marines!

Sadly, I don't think the EG curse applies to Puma, at least not when facing foreigners, but I can always hope! Need DRG in this tournament too.

He won against Huk. Now tell Moonglade that he didn't play well and his style didn't counter Huk's today. I don't give a shit who he won against if the game was bad. I'll still say the game was bad.
And yes, I think sitting on 50+ drones, not expanding, delaying tech against a turtling protoss, and sitting around with a maxed army doing nothing is poor play.
I also think having an army completely untailored to handle Broodlords and proceeding to practically attack through a choke against an army that has broodlords is poor play.

I am a Liquid-fan too, yet you have to acknowledge two facts: a) The Team Liquid-Website is the biggest western StarCraf-Community site, as such its natural that there are many fans of other teams here. Your argument would be more valid on the TeamLiquidPro site. b) Most of the people would decide as HuK did, if they were in HuK's position. In fact it is hard to argue that securing a good income is a bad thing.

I'm pretty sure Moonglade just played on equal bases against Huk and still won? Is that right? If so, wtf?

Oh it will apply. Sooner or later. 
But Stephano can do this.

This is not rock-paper-scissors.

Not saying Huk played 100% by any means - I think he's just so much more ruthless during Code S / GSL... like ripping apart MMA's 1-1-1 with ease while TL-ers are in despair about how to defend it. Huk regularly dismantles zergs everywhere he goes. But maybe today he was in a lighter mood and wasn't at his top game (pylons in game 2 ... :p)
Take off your fanboy goggles, MMA messed up the 1-1-1 HARD and he got to ro16 this season by beating SangHo twice...
