1. Huk knew he had no game for Idra if he happened to defeat Select. 2. Select handled Huk rather easily in game 1. 3. Huk probably felt, he couldn't win 2 in a row against Select using standard strats. 4. Huk is a showman and definitely put on a show. 5. Other than Idra dominating the field and Select making an incredible run through the LB, I will remember this game most fondly. Huk Fighting!!! | ||

Why else would he chose Scrap Station as the map? He probably hoped for select to not play so aggressive as to break the rocks in the middle, and if he was able to get the mothership out before he lost his natural first time, imo he could have won that game. | ||

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA go HuK-daddy The Thor was supposed to be built as a structure that would create a structure when dead and the Queen was supposed to upgrade like the Hive Tyrant from DoWII. But then they figured borrowing ideas from Supreme Commander and DoW was too awesome because they were shooting for something that was 'evolutionary' instead of 'revolutionary' or something. | ||

Anyway, I don't know why everyone is getting so down on him. He tried an insane tactic that didn't work (yes, partially to be perceived as "cool"). Moderate risk/huge reward scenario. If it DID work, he'd be a legend in SC2 forever. But sadly, it didn't. Boo hoo. He still gains a ton of notoriety at the expense of losing in the LB finals of one tournament. It's not like 1+ years ago when there were only a handful of important events in which foreigners could participate. I'm sure he will really be beating himself up while preparing for all the tournaments he's in over the next few weeks. He didn't give up. That's different than thinking to yourself, "Well, there's a 90% chance this won't work... but maybe..." Giving up would have been making a BO mistake and then immediately gg'ing, or something. It was funny and awesome to see. | ||

Really I wish HuK wouldnt have mothership rushed, because I don't think its that cool anymore. If he would of won than it would have been awesome.. but it seemed like a white flag when it happened so I was against it. | ||

I just don't think Huk has actually practiced with mothership enough(I know he has done it before, but I seriously doubt he has spent 8 hours a day practicing with it), more familiarity with its speed when to inch it forward try to get T to waste scans, etc... when to push with the units past it, pull them back. The way he miss cast the vortex and then let it get separated (and killed) gave away that he just hasn't mastered its usage. Obviously should have carrier rushed... =) | ||

A) Someone who plays very standard, and wins very plain, albeit dominating matches B) Someone that can win a match with standard play, but also plays to the crowd and puts on a show, getting infinitely more exposure? | ||
