Perhaps the most satisfying feeling as a Muta/Corruptor player against a heavy Phoenix army is landing the perfect Fungals.

a close second is when the protoss player gives 10 free phoenix to your corruptors

Hey, if I were in his position, I'd do everything I could to win as well. The worst thing a player can do is to become predictable.

That being said, I'm not too worried about Hero's career despite this setback. He's talented, he's relatively young still, and he has no serious injuries. Also, Liquid is a great team for him, and you know that they will keep on sending him to tournaments and supporting him. Just a temporary roadblock for the guy.

I'd like to see HerO in online tournaments again. Even if he doesn't do particularly well he doesn't have the pressure of a LAN on his shoulders and winning or going far in them boosts confidence. Or maybe it's just a mental block in WCS.

Alas, foreigners start off the day with success, but it seems like in the end, the Koreans are able to clinch it out. First we had Bunny and Harstem with their wins but Yoda fought back, and Huk had his win, but looks like Revival is coming to take back that Ro16 spot.

Man, what the hell happened to HerO? He's always been overrated, but lately he seems to be losing to everyone of a decent level...

Thought he was at least better than this.

Idk something just went wrong for him after the iem win


Don't want to be an ass, but Hero won IEM when Protoss abuse of blink stalker timings and other early aggression against Terran was most egregious. Keeping that in mind, these were Hero's matches during the tournament

(P)HerO 2-0 (T)ForGG
(P)HerO 0-2 (P)Rain
(P)HerO 2-0 (T)ForGG

(P)HerO 3-0 (T)INnoVation

(P)HerO 3-2 (Z)Jaedong

(P)HerO 4-2 (T)Polt

He basically used the power of early aggression against Terran, and scraped out a close comeback win against Jaedong to win it all. Not the most impressive of his tournament wins frankly.

While I was rooting for Polt hardcore after his super sick series against Rain (best PvT series ever IMO), the way HerO played against Polt and against the others isn't really what you're saying. He used templars to great defensive abilities, and did some great harassment and army movements. I don't think you're giving HerO enough credit for winning such a stacked tournament.


HerO killed more than 600 SCVs in that entire tournament, and the win vs Jaedong was not luck, but also not entirely skill. Good micro from hero and poor decision from JD gave him win. Other than that, he outplayed all the terrans. Not to mention he doesn't abuse the same build everygame, he can macro, multitask, cheese, pressure, anything

What lost Huk the game? Lack of ground to air to support the phoenix? Maybe more voids sooner without losing the phoenix instead of rushing collosi against a scouted 2 spire upgraded zerg air army.

Earlier voids? Maybe someone who plays P or Z can tell me.

He's had some stacked groups in WCS Ro32, and losing twice to Huk doesn't help. I'd like to think that Hero has become a more seasoned veteran and less prone to nerves by now, given that it's been nearly 3 years since he's been with Liquid and travelling to tournaments. Problem is, nowadays even online tournaments worldwide are pretty stacked, simply because so many Korean players flock to them for extra cash, so it's not much easier.

But Hero's doing well in the ATC, so there's that.

you do add storm as a protoss, but not until you have enough blink stalkers and archons to stabilize your bases. if you rush to storm the mutas will just dodge it or regen and kill all your stuff

I love the malapropisms, the constant "either way" transitions are fairly painful though.
