that could potentially be like 7 30 minute games, holy shit LOL idk if it would be epic or intense or dramatic or what, the players would get tired... including breaks thats like 3 hours, possibly even more if the TvTs are super long (30+ mins) | ||

Say what you will about Ganzi, but he certainly knows how to entertain. | ||

Huk loses 2:0 to 1/1/1s. Form from traveling everywhere is blamed. Puzzle bunches up his templar and dies in a macrogame. Loses the next one to a 1/1/1. July and Hongun exchange cheeses. Hongun surprises everyone and wins. HongUn and Genius represent Toss in the next round... God I want HongUn to make Ro4 again so badly. edit: Finals are going to be a TvT. They end within 50 minutes 4-1 due to blue flame :p (only at the GSL) | ||

do this many people really pay so little attention to hongun? it's disappointing HongUn is probably the most consistently underrated player in the world. He's amazingly consistent--even when Protoss have been doing horribly, he still manages to post wins. He's taken down some top players, and he is capable of playing very solid macro games but can also bust out some really dangerous all-ins, and he was the first Protoss to make Carriers in the GSL. Yet he gets nothing but hate. I dunno why really. You can say he cheeses, but the truth is lots of players cheese sometimes, and its not like thats all HongUn does--he's not the Protoss BitbyBit (that would be Inca) hes definitely capable of playing macro games. I guess you can say he doesn't really have a signature playstyle, he doesn't have brilliant mechanics like MC or crazy multitask like Puzzle or cool builds like Genius. He's just kind of average in terms of playstyle, but happens to be really solid. Still, hes a lot better than most give him credit for. | ||

 HuK vs Nada is also interesting... again I like them both, but I guess I will cheer for HuK. At least I can't be too disappointed with whatever the results may be. | ||

Interestingly enough and I just checked on sc2earnings.com, HongUn is the highest earner that has never won 1st or 2nd place at a tournament. | ||

O.o What that means is that he's more consistent than NaDa....BLASPHEMY!!! JK. I really like hongun simply because he can force his opponents to play more honestly via reputation, and does have the skill to back it up. My favourite game was him throwing? the game against NaDa by mothership rushing. He almost won that one too, and between that and the carrier game, he's one of my favourite protoss. | ||

I only dislike HongUn due to his games vs rain in GSL open 3... do you not remember that crappy charge lot all-in he did? I think it was on blistering sands. | ||
