Just me who thought that Huk's unit composition was a bit weak then? 5 Colossi and more archons seems like it would've fared far better in that big confrontation than the 3 Colossi and zealot heavy army Huk had. Too many zeals, not enough stalkers, not enough storms. I agree, his army wasn't well-set to handle Infestor play in general and brood/infestor especially.
Storms were the lacking faactor.
High templar and storm and then morph
When your DPS comes from 6-8 colossus, when infester NP them, you not only LOSE YOUR DPS, but zerg gets it.
That doesn't work against templar, storms just do their huge 80 damage and then you get archons 15 sec later.

Sadly, I don't think the EG curse applies to Puma, at least not when facing foreigners, but I can always hope! stop hating and enjoy the games... I can do both at the same time thank you very much. Contrary to the hipster EG haters, I did it before it was cool. 
Your definition of hipster is the opposite of what you think it is.
You are the hipster when you say that.

Wow, I only just joined the stream and check the results so far but I'm so surprised that mOOnGLaDe managed to beat HuK. I had lost faith in our Aussie hero but I'm so glad that he won both for his sake and for the sake of hoping EG loses everything possible.

Has Rotti been keeping up with the metagame at all? Clearly SlayerS drop incoming.

Either you are trolling, or you haven't followed SC2 for very long.
Mass-roach supported with meticulous macro has been out FOR-EV-ER. And Moonglade didn't even execute it very well, as he was floating several thousands of ressources and didn't get more hatcheries/expansions, nearly losing and unlosable game.

Sometimes Team Liquid has the worse community I've seen so bias. Anyone in HuKs place would be stupid not to take up a life time changing chance, I'm a HuK fan before and still a very solid Huk fan. Grow up! Im a Liquid-fan, and u r on a Liquid site You are right that this site is teamliquid.net, the largest SC2 community outside of Korea (and to my best guess inside it as well), but as expressed multiple times by the staff of this site, they are not exactly the same as Team Liquid the actual team (for that, you can go to teamliquidpro.com). Yes, TL.net is the home site of the actual team, but at the same time it has grown to become a collection of everything. Just so people are clear, tlpro.com is the home site of the team, tl.net is a forum/community that sometimes works with tlpro. Don't be afraid to be an EG/mouz/Dignitas/etc. fan here. As long as you <3 SC2 (and don't bitch about balance), that's fine by us. Also, everyone should keep in mind that 'fan' is short for 'fanatic.'
People will still ignore this idea sadly

PLEASE stop crying imba over that game...
Step 1. Don't open dt rush into cancel into fail blink stalkers into being 50 supply behind with no good tech or upgrades...
(From here a good zerg will usually take the entire map and drone, moonglade either felt sorry for huk.. or more likely was just too stoned to care)
Step 2. Dont turtle into engaging roach/infestor/broodlord/corruptor in a choke, with no feed back, bad upgrades and let all your archons get neuraled
off topic-
now that Huk has joined eg and started loosing, will growing patchy pubic-hair-looking facial hair be the next step?

The choice is not between colossi/archon and zealots ... Ofc HuK would have prefered to have all his zealot's pop in archons, but it costs a lot of gas. However I believe he should have had HTs instead of archons.

Looks like the Slayers build has been figured out now.

Uh what
Cutting around 50 drones and pouring roaches before slowteching is practically the most common thing zerg does, especially against aggressive protoss play. Glade executed it well (though his decisionmaking to not get more econ/tech when he saw Huk was forced to turtle was... questionable), but you're definitely talking this up.

PLZ Stephano make my day!!
