After all the talk about blizzards intentions and goals during the beta im hoping to see some mech vs P. Havent watched any hots untill now though so can somebody enlighten me? From what I've seen you can do a few different builds but it's still not particularly good in the match up if P knows what they are playing against. There's a reason most KR pros are still playing bio. Don't spread misinformation. There's plenty of mech builds you can do now. KR pros are sticking with Bio as it's all they've played for 3 years. They've had no time to practice mech properly. Plenty of Koreans played HotS for a while and tried to make it work. It just sucked and lack of experience has nothing to do with it.
From all the koreans who actually played the HoTS beta (which the full extent of we'll never know due to all the barcode names) hardly any of them even tried mech. Polt for example is purely a bio player and he was more than likely (outside the STC who went mech and won with it) the most active terran on the beta.
Mech really doesn't suck anymore. If you think that, you've either never tryed playing it or never actually seen it being played. Also I don't know where the whole thing about Goody playing Bio has come from. Watching him stream and the beta tournaments he played he played primarily mech.
Byun went mech in a KOTH tournament a few weeks back too and won easily with it against a good opponent.

The standard in Hots is templar tech to defend against medivac harass with possible oracle harass after FE in to zealot, archon, high templar comp. How do you go offensive with templar? Collosi work so much better if you're being aggressive. God that was frustrating after perfectly deflecting the widowmines. Clean up his drop, let range finish and he could do something. Admittedly that deadspace outside of his base was always going to be a bitch with medivacs camping there.
The point is that you get storm and feedback to defend an earlier third, robo openings are bad vs drop play anyways.

Huk cannoned his base like a noob then tried a 2 base all-in while getting dropped in his main and his main army destroyed in the all-in. and to add: Huk refused to play HOTs, ignored mothership core so he could recall his army to save his main when it was dropped.

Sen had a decent early roach attack, but they ended up getting caught by lings on the way back and he was unprepared for mutas by a long way.
Vibe just took that advantage and steamrollled. Sen never really got a 3rd going.

He was stuck on mass blink stalkers in his base with late as fuck colossi on 2 base against Bogus's third and map control. Not a very good spot to be in. after he defended his natural, where he lost nothing and killed medivacs he was good to get a third and just play defensive. he basically denied a standard timing by terran and was well off. Moving out vs bio when you are just on colossi is pretty stupid when you are not going for the killing blow - and having a chance of actually landing the killing blow.
He would have been in a good position if he had something to show for it. He was way to stalker heavy trying to defend against the drops without a mothership core and just flat out missed warp in cycles trying to tech up to colossi AFTER he had the tc down and researching. Moving out after that was just the silly cherry on the fail cake.

Speaking of which, I'm kind of missing me a little MIND MIND MIND

Bleh, downtime sucks, I justed wanted to view some games before going to bed here in EU

Cant imagine how this is being ahead. he had 2 collossi like 6 gates charge on the way if he doesnt do this decision to lose his main without doing any damage with his pushout and takes his third he is ahead and btw these huk haters are ridiculous here he played very well until this decision and you all act like he was so bad blablabla such dumb behavior

In related news, ViBE takes a game off Sen.

I don't think afterburners are OP at all.

Funny how there were really really few posts about Afterburners when compared to a game in which afterburners actually mattered.

Pretty much this. It's really disgusting to read. It's like LR is turning into Twitch.tv chat. People just say "HUK IS BAD, DECISION MAKING BAD" Instead of giving the actual reason and insight on what went wrong. So fucking stupid.
