and the last person to compare them to anyone professional? the analogy would be more apt if he won, considering the globetrotters have lost 1 game in their history. in a joke league. once again, i'm not judging, and i don't care, but to idolize huk for throwing a game in a competitive tournament is just beyond me. when you're a pro, you just don't do that. | ||

The botched vortex was the big mistake. Those were all the units seleCT had at the moment, and Huk could have inflicted serious damage to the expo or the main while bringing in more units. But he did botch the vortex, and ended losing his army with only his mom and a cycle off his 4 gates, plus phoenix production. Then when he tried to push again his units were all scattered about. He had phoenix to counter the vikings as well as more ground units. If he had stayed back, kept his units together, he might have had another round of reinforcements with him when select finally came for the engagement and they would not have been scattered. | ||

I'm sure after the path SelecT had to take to get there, with just hours and hours of Tournament play, a little bit of humor was welcome.The 1st game on metalopolis was much more entertaining imo. | ||

Bad analogy. What Huk did would equate to a kobe bryant or lebron james do a trick shot in a pro game, which star players do alot and the crowd always loves it. Your analogy of the globetrotters would be more like a semi-popular non-featured streamer doing a mothership rush in his stream. | ||

Whether or not either of us like or dislike it the vast majority of the fans like it and therefore gives himself, his team, and esports good publicity which is more of what it needs to succeed. I totally understand peoples argument that esports needs to become more professional in order to become big but at the same time we need to remember the audience. This isn't like basketball where there are fans from little kids to the elderly. | ||
