Looking at the big picture of his matches today, seems like he just can't adapt that good. Also why does he sit on top of so many unspent resources for so long.
edit - oh well he won. But tbh i think HuK was the better player.

The irony here is that we know better and are probably closer with Violet on account of all the events we've done with him around the world through the years. Regardless, this tourney truly was a lot of fun, and it was a blast getting to see Mini finally take a first place. | ||

Suggesting bitter favors huk over violet is actually the biggest bullshit as I know he's closer with violet than with huk, just giving credit where credit is due, as for me, I couldn't care less as I was teammates with violet in Wc3 and have known him for like 8 years now while Chris is a person I just go to know via sc2 and even though I like him, I never exchange a word with him outside of events. If you think huk didn't play well ( i'm not saying I thought violets opening was great/i was a fan of it, I even mentioned I wasn't ) then you're just hating. Violet made mistakes, but huk forced a lot of them, in the end huk made a massive game ending mistake having units out of position etc and losing half his army, but does that mean he played bad the first 15 min? Either way, you seem to be more biased than I was, I appreciate good play, and just because there are throws later on, it doesn't mean it was all shit. Maybe we just see this game different. HuK has been critizied in the past on these very forums for always all-inning, simple strats etc, not adjusting to what he see's. If you wanna tell me that the way he played the first 10/15 min in those games was not amazing compared to what people critized him for in the past, you're just hating. Once more, I don't think the way Violet was playing was absolutely fantastic, but that doesn't mean huk wasn't picking him apart. Anyways I had a lot of fun today, I watch a shitton of sc2 and I can say that I saw some excellent play today, whether I would be casting it or not, I enjoyed these games and some of the NA players displayed absolutely fantastic stuff, and anyone who has followed/listened to me cast in the past will know that I'm not always like that and pretty often very calm and just analyze and move on., I tend to keep it real, if I get excited, it's real, not because the tournament organiser or sponsors tell me to be excited. Thanks for watching ^_^ | ||

You just shouldn't go into a tournament like this expecting proleague or code S like games (they aren't always perfect either), but just enjoy the best of the NA scene and the awesome cast from Bitterdam. I liked it a lot . | ||

Thanks for watching ^_^ You guys did a good job today, I enjoyed listening. well said by rotti 99% of the time before anyone complains about "caster bias" they should stop and think about if they're calling "bias" because it's a real problem or because the caster said something positive about a player they don't prefer, whether it's for foreign/korean reasons, race reasons, personality reasons, etc. the person accusing bias is doing so because of their own bias personally i couldn't care less if a caster is biased or even vocally favors one player as long as they are professional and call the game in an entertaining manner | ||
