EPTReplay is here, 2nd game
Here is the situation for those who weren't watching the tourney.
TOURNEY SPOILERS BELOW!!!
Huk rolled through all of the competition undefeated until he was matched against IdrA, who beat him 2-0 in the winner's final, knocking him into the loser's bracket. [Bracket here]
His opponent, seleCT, had his own story. After being knocked into the losers bracket by Tyler, he went on to face LzGaMeR, TTOne, qxc, slush, tyler again, Kiwikaki. 12 games straight before being put up against Huk in the losers bracket finals, which would decide who would take 3rd place ($1000 prize), and who would go up against IdrA for 1st/2nd. ($2500/$1500 prize).
So we come to game one, which seleCT takes. There is a break between games during which time Day9 and DJWheat are chatting about random tourney stuff and the camera is taken off of them and put on Huk.
Then the game starts and the camera doesn't move. Finally the camera switches.... to seleCT.
At this point the crowd is getting rowdy because they can hear the the casters explaining the game's opening moves, gateway and cybernetics already down, but they are still just showing Huk and seleCT on the screen. So they start shouting "Show the game! Show the game! Show the game!" Huk, wearing headphones thinks they are shouting, "Mothership! Mothership!" and decides to mothership rush (which, important to note, he has done before in tournament play and won).
He says, "What they chanting? I think they say mothership. Not sure though"
A few minutes later he says, "Not like I can go it now. If I do, you hear them cheer, then you know."
Then he throws down a stargate, and everyone gets very, very excited.
Stargate finishes, and he throws down a fleet beacon, saying, "Not mothership rofl"
Crowd goes nuts at this point, everyone feels the excitement, but hushes down because even though Huk has the zel naga tower, seleCT has been breaking through the middle rocks. At this point, the guy filming the video starts rolling, and takes it from there.
Explanation of "tahts halo. dont worry" below.
+ Show Spoiler +
When the mothership finally comes out, there is a HUGE roar from the crowd, at this point, Huk says "tahts halo, don't worry 0_0". SeleCT was, at that very moment pushing through the center to attack and scanned ahead, right on top of the mothership and all of Huks units and responds with a curt ".." The reason Huk said the halo thing was that the large hall they were in was also hosting a halo 3 tournement, whose fans would occasionally cheer out and you could hear them quite clearly. appearanly, there were more SC2 fans than halo fans, and the sc2 fans were right next to where the players were with nothing to shield sounds but the player's headphones. So when the crowd exploded, as you hear in the video, Huk jokingly said that little epic tidbit jokingly to cover up for his mom.
Here is the point in the where it takes off in TL thread, which was basically a slow chat room during the whole tourney.
Great video. Really captures the excitement in the audience. Thanks for posting.
