apollo vs incontrol ace match

EG 5-2 with Thorzain finishing the deal!

HuK actually playing in team league? I swear he never does. This can only be good :D But I feel like Select will rip through a team which is protoss and terran heavy.

AT A BOY HUK!!
Edit: Person below me: HuK.
Also, no way HuK loses this next one. Trying to take him out in PvP when that's probably what he's practicing PvP 24/7 in preparation for NASL.

who won the 1st game?
edit: oh nvm

It's PvP: They both proxy 2 gate each other but do it at the wrong base. Transition in to 46 minute game with Sentry Phoenix.

doa has been a caster for how long? and he still doesnt know the difference between a robotics facility and robotics bay?

Oh man I missed game 1. Too bad that KiLLeR lost, I have really been enjoying watching his games recently, he's super gosu. How was the first game in far of quality of a watch?

Yup. HuK too good man. Might maybe be able to take him out with Select, but no foriegn toss (save, perhaps, Mana) right now. Tho average Euro-Toss has historically been HuK's Achilles's heel I suppose.

oh totally forgot this is on! well, gogo Huk then

Pretty sure he knows the difference. It's just very easy to mess up on when casting in front of 7 thousand people.
|
Is it just me or does anyone think this will be a very close clanwar? I think it's quite even maybe PuMa can close the deal for EG.. perhaps not.

HuK has had moments in PvP where he looks worse than most average foreigners, but then he has moments like MLG Orlando where he goes into beast mode. HuK's PvP has never been consistent so throwing a PvP in there is not a terrible idea.

Hopefully, but Huk has already taken out 2 key players for Dignitas, and he might continue. Granted, Bling, Select, and Sjow are still active, but it's an uphill battle for Dignitas for sure. I would like to see a close match, but it will be hard for Dignitas now. Huk has already done a bit of good damage to the roster.

Casting is actually much more difficult than it looks, because you cannot have "dead air", or silence where you are not talking, for the entire course of the game, so you need to just constantly talk, off the top of your head sometimes. People mispeak, and it is perfectly normal to see that.

I totally agree
Sometimes he just seem outta this world
Tho last year was consistant in his play , this year he had some slipups
Dunno why this year wasnt that good to him ..
Or is just my impression ?
Edit for poor grammar

Huk's had an ok year. Yes, he got eliminated from the GSL, which was unfortunate, but he did get top 3 and top 4 at the MLG Winter Arena and Championships respectively, which was the best performance of the season only behind MKP and DRG, which is very impressive. He's also going to the NASL finals later, and being a PvP it is very possible that he could beat Alicia.
It just seems that we don't see him in that many tournaments anymore this year.

Is this the first time HuK played in a non GSL team league???

|
Nice Huk Maybe you can get an all-kill.

nope he just doesnt play in them when hes in Korea so you will only see him in them every couple months

Bring's a tear to my eye how beautiful HuK's play is.
Oh more PvP eh?
Yeah let's see how that works out for ya.
+ Show Spoiler +No disrespect to Bling, he's a cool dude. If by some miracle he takes out HuK i'd love to see the (prior to last weekend) Battle for UK again.

if Dignitas loses this 0:5, they will be sad. Like, very very sad.
Eliminated by 2 x 0:5 has to hurt

I think the slipups are on my part .

FYI Doa, Huk hasn't been in Korea for awhile now, not since MLG Spring Arena 2

Yup, I'd say that's accurate. HSC III was another example of that, beating Naniwa and MC in epic fashion. More recently, his PvP series against Parting at MLG Winter Championship was also positively unreal (he beat Naniwa and a red Socke there as well... Though Socke was disadvantaged by extended series, still HuK beat him 2-1 in their first meeting there and 2-1 in their second so that's pretty legit).

Nor only is he going to NASL finals, where the first series is against Alica, look at the bracket: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/North_American_Star_League_Season_3/Main_Bracket Chances are very good he won't see a non-protoss until the finals and even then there's a very good chance of pure PvP.
That said... I don't like HuK's odds this game.

Bling seems to understand how to win PvP lategame. There's really no rock paper scissor. It's more colossus > fewer colossus. Oh, I hate those tripods...
|
Soo many Colossi lasers firing.
|
|
|
Oh , well ,
Nice play by Bling
|
Ohh nice job Bling! I stopped watching for a bit, but I'm glad he got the win.

Good shit EG, finally looking good in clan wars. Well done HuK and Thorzain.

Well that wasn't the best control by Sjow. :O It was actually a pretty close fight. If he could have controlled his banshees a bit better, he could have sniped that last tank... or just in general used his ground forces better, I think he would have had it. GG Thorzain.

Well done Thorzain!

Huk is in the EG Lair and has been for awhile. When he is there he always plays in team leagues.
