Well well, doesn t look too bad for foreigners. I guess at least scarlett, major plus X will although make it into the next round. So we have about 50% foreigners. And i must say, that after seeing major the last weeks, i wouldnt be surprised to see him winning the whole thing.
I'm pretty worried for Scarlett because of her wrists. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though. Hero has been playing absolutely terribly as of late so it wouldn't shock me at all to see him fall out of the group. The group with major, I think he's going to make it out but I have trouble seeing bomber not finishing top 2. So I would say we're going to get about 6 foreigners. Which isn't much but it's still the most I can remember having in wcs am in quite a while.

Yeah, you are right with scarlett. Just forgot her issues. But like you, i´m keeping my fingers crossed. And maybe we ll have a surprise from one of the chinese guys. Just like in EU, it seems a bit as if the foreigners can close the gap (at least a bit  ).

Look at the WCS banner in the OP.
It is by Blizzard and has BW Protoss units in the background, is that a teaser for LOTV. Hmmm.

Hahaha, I love people like you.
On topic: Huk was incredibly lucky imho.

Arium was a pleasant surprise. Hope to see more of him in the future :D

Now it's Scarlett's turn. I hope her wrists are feeling much better by then.

Let's be real , Huk makes it to tournaments , then loses. lol, you are going to last a long time here on this website sir, wonderful 3rd post... Lets be real, HuK always has and always will have a lot of potential to win, guy has been a contender since beta.
Haha HuK is nowhere near a ''contender'' for tournaments at best he's a contender for ro8 never ever ever will he win a premier tournament or will ever be considered a contender

I dunno, HuK was really awful to me when HoTS came out because he was so stuck in his old way of playing (which you have to admit was so timing attack oriented and full of gateway/immortal all ins). He really has turned it around lately though.

You are both right, but I still hope she'll do well. She took a week break off from playing to help her wrists, and we saw vs Violet (and puck) that she can still play amazingly and micro like a Goddess. GL Scarlett

We have to stop letting foreigners through to the round of 16... What are people going to complain about if we keep going? :/

The last game was the best. Such a sick TvP Lategame and INnoVations Army Control was out of this world! He gets to a good form again Hoping for a top8+ finish for him!

Anyone has a chance, you gotta remember Huk plays protoss which has some amazing two base plays and all-ins. I think all he needs is some luck and he can take it

Um did you click on the wrong thread? I think you want the Code S Group B thread.
I missed those games though, anyone know if they were any good?
On topic, HuK has shown some great potential, but many times its a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I like HuK, but I have to agree with some folks here. He gets a decent run into the tournament, only to drop the ball during a clutch match.
With regards to his style, he has presented a variety of games in recent events, but I still remember his dependance on gateway/robo timings during WoL.
We will see how deep HuK can make it into WCS AM, I wish him the best of luck!

Don't feed this hardcore Fanboy who thinks the fact he has posted on this site over 4k times means he's been a teamliquid follower longer. I don't post my every thought on teamliquid like you 12 year old girl . User was warned for this post
Wow the bait wasn't even a big worm, and you took the bite pretty fast lol.
I agree with your sentiment on HuK, but you did not have to attack GGzerG's character. Disagree with his statement, don't focus on his bait.
And to GGzerG, at some point in HuK's career he needs to ask himself, 'Do I want to be a contender for the rest of my life, or a winner?'
Yes he has been a contender since beta, but that is all he has been, a contender. I used to be a big HuK fan, and watched every game he played. And every single time, I see him get demolished during a clutch match, and I felt a little disappointed. All those little disappointments lead me to believe HuK doesn't have it in him to be a winner, only the potential.

Nice job to HuK, looked pretty sharp. Arium's blink micro tho... Can't wait to see more of him.

revival isnt very good by korean standards... hes a very low tier korean. even though he beat huk in the past 2 seasons i felt it was a pretty even matchup. i dont think huk over revival represents any trend

Revival is a Premier tournament winner (IEM)
2nd place in WCS NA
and other higher placements in premier tournaments
doubt u would call that very low tier korean achievements, when many/most "non low tier" koreans cant do those things

i dont play these back and forth semantic games about year old accomplishments... my point was huk over revival isnt an upset nor does it represent some kind of foreign surge
i am very pro foreigner but huk beating revival in wcs am is a very "whatever" result
