True words sir. One would think huk should even throw in the towel and forfeit this series before it starts
|
HuK might take a game or two, if he doesn't do some kind of weird 7-gate build or whatever it is he does in every match up, he seems addicted to them.
|
gateway allins are huk's dragons.
|
I hope Huk isnt still stuck in late 2010, perhaps HotS was the right thing to bring him up to date!

wtf was that game pulling 6 probes as a reaction to cc first?

Depends how you mean "over". They still have to play a minimum of two more games.

technically not yet, it's MKP 1-0 HUK
|
2 of my top 3 fav players! This is definitely an uphill battle for Huk.
|
|
|
Well.... At this point I just hope Huk wins takes a game.
|
Anyone care to update for those of us at work? <3
|
Wow I love HuK, but this is kinda hard to watch, MKP is sooooo good!
|
Game 1: CC first for MKP, huk tries to probe rush and delays it a smidge, follows up with a 4gate that doesn't work and eventually dies.
Game 2: CC first for MKP, huk expands and goes blink and attack upgrade before colossus, MKP gets stim and medivacs, presses T and wins.
|
2-0 mkp. First game was a failed 4 gate by Huk (not all in) into a big bio counter by MKP.. Second game Huk lost to the 10min Bio Medivac push.
|
Pretty good description by Tayar yeah.
|
Sort of seems like HuK killed himself in this series :/
|
Hope we dont get another 3-0. Yesterday was a very quick series too.
|
Spontaneous and ever-so-slightly inappropriate hugs to all those sharing this broadcast. I'm just in one of those 'get the hell off me you weird old dude' moods.
|
This is hard to watch for any Huk fans, but not entirely surprising, really.
Online tournaments should just mail MKP a trophy let everyone else play it out.
|
is the neutral supply depot raised on this map? i'm pretty sure that defeats the purpose. or my eyes are terrible, iduno.
|
Thundercrotch! Where the hell were you when my parents were choosing baby names?
|
Now that's an interesting exchange.
EDIT: Ah, not so much in light of economic context. Ehh.....
EDIT EDIT: ffs I ran a bath for this.

It was easy to predict.
i can't wait to see HuK's proleague game.

|
|
for those at work:
Game 3: MKP opens reaper expand, Huk shows the scouting reaper 2gate/robo before expand, kills the reaper, cancels a gate and expands.
MKP reads aggression and delays moving his CC to natural and builds a few tanks.
Both players transition into macro, Huk going colossus first and MKP getting his 3rd + dbl upgrades. MKP pushes with his tanks and get rebuffed, losing them both but getting a substantial lead by trading well and having a much earlier 3rd.
Huk transition into storm but is ~60 supply down and loses his 3rd for nothing. MKP attacks with a nice flank up 80ish supply and wins handily.
|
MKP just steamrolled Huk twice and went over him a third time for good meassure.

haha i second that

omg that was one sided.
and people want to see worse than huk vs worse than huk?
|
What a beatdown Oo
i lol'ed when MKP was 100 supply up
|
yea that wasn't even slightly competitive.
|
|
|
well MKP just produced 190 supply in the time it took HuK to produce 100 supply. That was very onesided. TT

Couldn't have put it better myself. Pretty merciless stuff there by Monsieur MarineKing - great to watch, though.

I honestly think there are too few professional strata for this game. In football, there's no shame in lower league teams being unable to take down Man U or Chelsea. Similarly, there are players who can deliver nail-biting, entertaining pro-level SC2 games without being Flash or Life. In this series, Huk was *a little bit* behind MKP, and got stomped for it. There would be something wrong if every football team was judged on its ability to win the Champion's League.
I suppose the problem with esports as a whole is that there are few reasons to get behind any given player. The very fact it's net-based precludes the regional grass-roots support terrestrial sports receive. Personally, I get a kick out of TL players winning, Stephano because I get him, and Flash vs Life because it's like Morpheus vs Neo - I don't actually care who wins. It's tough for someone who's merely better than 99% of the people who play the game to gather a following.

It's a different sport; different community. In the NFL, you'll be treated as the worst team of all fucking time if you lose by even one touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Well I'm 100% behind MarineKing no matter what, and for a long time now. Good games or bad games, MLG championships or Jjakji 0-3, I'll be here, supporting him.
Just to prove you wrong :D

The most notable thing about that series was that marineking made a ghost academy. He didn't make any ghosts, but that's the first ghost academy he has made in months

i'd say huk is a fair amount behind MKP though, not just a little bit

Oh man, I just saw this. How tragic is fate. After getting publicly thrashed by BoguS he plays MKP in consolations.
I can't stop laughing am I a bad person?

This whole "exhibition" thing was all played at the last MLG, just saved for later content (now)

I feel you but have 2 things
a) HuK used to be quite good and MKP has been slumping, maybe if Huk was in his prime he would have won this
b) Its totally crazy to say that a team that loses by 1 TD in Super Bowl is disrespected like a lot of foreign players do every friggin time they lose. Every 49ers fan I know was saddened but didn't curse out their team, mostly both teams are treated well even the loser, the only one in my lifetime might be the Giants vs. Pats where they went undefeated and after Manning threw the Tyree Catch people gave them hell after that.
Honestly this is why we should be more regional though, Huk could probably be okay if only facing NA players but a good Korean makes him look silly like today. Sometimes I see brilliance in Huk though, kinda rooting for him to get better.
|
Dissapointed after it looks like huk has been playing very well on the korean server recently. I have noticed that his t v p looks like his worst matchup. Whats funny is that it looks like his control is what really kills him. He and the terran will have maxed armies and the terran just roflstomps huk every time.

Yeah... Huk is more than "a little" behind MKP.

You wouldn't be behind him if he'd never had his high-profile run, though. That's my point. There's a very narrow window for players to garner support, and relatively few reasons to follow someone who never hits that window. The people I follow have nothing in common with me - do you see what I mean now?

I can't speak for the rest of you buttholes, but I've been behind MarineKing since he split marines against Kyrix's banelings. That's basically just one televised play.
The whole concept of a home team or following people like you is a bit of a joke anyway. The home team in any given sport is usually made up of people from other countries. And it's not like you have a reason to be proud of the achievements of someone you have no connection to, regardless of whether they were born within a thousand kilometres of you or not.
I think the only meaningful thing that's missing is the social interaction which most people who follow e-sports probably can't even handle.

I think a scene isolated like in broodwar would be so much worse. Every tournament except GSL / Proleague / GSTL would be just boring.

Why don't wet let Huk play only against Bronze Leaguers? He will look like a demi god then!

I've been behind MKP since even before I got to see him actually play.

Yeah, I don't understand how you can rationalize any white guy losing by saying: "Well, he had a good opponent."
Are we supposed to celebrate every time he beats a random scrub on ladder while ignoring all his losses against competent opponents?
