Only a irrational huk fan could whine about these games. PvP skill is about way other stuff than other matchups. It's the 2sec buildorder decisions, while still not being allinish matchup. Clearly he thought he wouldn't lose to "lesser" pro in bo5. It wasn't luck who won here, elfi just made better decisions every game. G2 and G4 that elfi won with 4gate huk also played pretty shitty vs it. As if he just leveled himself into thinking he wouldn't get 4gated after first game since he defended it there, and playing sloppy defense.

I'm just surprised they are casting these right behind the players whom have no booths. I think that taints the whole tournament far too much. Anyone have an idea how much sound resistant booths are? If you are going to have a large event, having some sound proofing is an absolute must. Either way, Elfi congrats.

That's the one thing I dont like about these 8-man events! You go there to play a bo3/bo5, if you lose you go home!

Well HuK has a show match against DIMAGA on Sunday as well. Agree with the sentiment though.

About as good as of an opinion as those who though Elfi wouldn't stand a chance against Huk.

It's hard to take the game seriously as long as sub-100 [old] apm, 0 multitasking players are competitive at this level. For a while it looked like we had reached the point that they weren't, but at least in some matchups that's unfortunately not the case

Same story again, when HuK won Dreamhack and Homestory Cup he started traveling a lot and he was playing bad for few months, he took a break and he was able to take MLG, and again traveling around the world, he even said on twitter before games that hes tired...

HuK should learn from SaSe, picking most important tournamnets that will not fuck up your biological clock to much and focus on them rather than fly from place to place and play tired.

That went as I predicted. Excellent.

You predicted that we were going to see 4 gates followed by some more 4 gates? Next time give us some warning so we can watch something else

THE ONE AND ONLY ELFI<3 Not a surprising result imo. I would've been upset if Elfi lost. Against DIMAGA he might lose, i'd give him 35% shot of winning and 50/50 against SelecT

If you're not gonna make a fuckin sentry, you deserve it. It's the height of greedyness in pvp.

What happened here was a classic case of HuK expecting elfi to actually be decent and not in the dark ages and not 4gate, and what elfi does is 4gate 3 times in a row.

Also that last game, the cancelling of the gateway was what led his 4gate to be slightly slower

whoa so sad....
This is tournament - you play to win...
You don't win by being sloppy and playing something interesting (carrier rush lololol) just to show off
