The TL definition isn't flawless: a build order that hard counters an opponent's build order is a strategic victory - how is it a win "not from strategy?" | ||

Keen could transition out of it easily if Huk didnot just die. Actually if Keen did no damage he would be fucked. Huk would roll over him if he held that. So yes by definition keen's attack was all in (did he even plop down an expansion?). A nexus first toss vs a terran who's expansion is way later, loses units and doesn't do damage is guaranteed to lose if the protoss doesn't fuck up. See heres the wonderful thing about reactionary builds. You do them because you know they are going to do damage. They have the timings ironed out. In no universe can Huk get a Nexus first and shut that down completely imo. Even if he doesnt takes double gas and adds a gateway or 2 thats what 2? 3 ? stalkers. While its a big diff and Keen might not kill him he would for sure lose his nat and maybe some probes in the least. | ||

Huk needs to work on his decision making and openers, I've seen him play greedy either with aggression or econ and it always bites him in the ass. | ||

But THAT'S WHAT BO LOSS MEANS. Playing greedy blindly. R O F L hahahahahaahhaha Anyway. Instead of trying to scout he decided to go for the metagame counter, with 15 nexus, 2 gas and fast robo. He got lol'd on. HuK would've been more than fine with 3 gates and constant chrono on cybercore. Such is life. | ||

Why do you think that a build order loss and playing greedy are two different things? because they are Do help me wrap my head around that statement, because that doesn't make sense to me. Usually playing greedy means that you sacrifice army to gain some sort of advantage, usually economical, which basically means that greedy play gets hardcountered by anything that takes advantage of that sacrifice in armysize. How is that not a build order loss by playing greedy? | ||

He's basically gambling that it won't happen again, which did, after Keen scouted. Why Huk went Nexus first against a terran on a 2 player map is beyond me. If he just did a standard 3 gate 1 robo expand (or even a 1 gate 1 robo) he could have held against any hellion push. 3 gate 1 robo expands would have been safe but does not fare very well against 1-1-1 variations though. The expand comes too late to be able to do the continuous 5 gate+robo production you need vs 1-1-1s. Huk was probably expecting Keen to go for something like that. Fast nexus is actually the best soft counter to the 1-1-1 the problem is it's extremely vulnerable to other kinds of early pressure. | ||

Hence, Huk is more foreign to me than Keen. Why would I root for foreigner if he is as foreign to me as he is to Koreans? I like how this guy from Singapore is pissed that "foreigner" lost. Is there any logic behind this? the origins of the term 'foreigner' go wayyy back, essentially if you're not korean, you're a 'foreigner' | ||
