Hockey would be a good comparison, some people go for the hope that fights will break loose, others are actually a fan of the sport at a professional level. Some people love sc2 as a competitive game, others wanna see neat doodads and fancy plays. | ||

I'm the guy who made this video and I'd just like to thank everybody for being awesome and flesh out a few details. 1.) My brother has not seen or played SC2 and from the beginning of that game on Scrap Station I was trying to talk him through it. We were also talking to all the people around us so that's why I seem so chatty and obnoxious LOL. and once I realized HuK was going for the MOM I whipped my camera out as fast as I could and our collective conversations just kind of became songs of HuK praise. It was REALLY exciting, seriously. I'm proud that I still managed to form coherent sentences ;] 2.) I was also exhausted when I shot this video. Seriously, running on nothing but Doritos and Dr. Pepper (they were giving it out for free LOL). It was also pretty crowded so that's why it's so shaky. I'm usually a real stickler about quality control ;] 3.) For everyone who thinks HuK was being unprofessional and that he made a stupid move and all that: What he did was epic. Period. He's a true competitor and people who play against him are going to have what he did on their minds (especially on scrap station LOL). HuK has a big bag of tricks! Beyond that, it was the most entertaining moment I've ever witnessed in pro-gaming and someone should send him a fruit basket haha THANKS HUK! 4.) There was horrendous lag and network trouble all throughout this tournament. The first game between Idra and qxc seriously just ended because the network broke, which is totally unacceptable at this kind of venue. I wouldn't be surprised if that vortex landed in a bad spot because of a nasty lag spike -_- As for sound proofing, yeah, MLG needs to get on that if they want to be taken seriously. That is just a simple fact. anyways, this weekend was a TON of fun and thanks again for the budding-videographer-related feedback! ;] | ||

1 -IdrA was just a level above everyone else. 2 -SeleCT worked the hardest that day, put on quite a show. After 20ish odd games I didn't expect him to be up to taking down IdrA in two Bo3's. Perhaps if he was rested it would've been closer. 3 -HuK definitely had his chance to take down IdrA. he got outplayed there badly and his performance just plummeted afterward. After a lost position doing what he did, mad props for that. Notable mention to KiWiKaKi. Very impressed with his style throughout the tournament. | ||

But, I do think there is a time and place for having this kind of fun (funky build orders, etc). In tourny's you should play to win, IMO. Therefore, I'd be interested in seeing if HuK actually thought the plan was viable. Then I respect him for trying something unique and creative in such a pressure situation. If his take on it has been posted anywhere super intrigued to read that. He could win me over after his bad day on livestream. | ||

It was a long day, a filled hall, wonderful atmosphere, vibrating. And Huk, obviously a smart and nice guy, decided to play! To catch the moment and go for it, have some fun. I am sure, he wont make this a bad habit (bad in the sense of professionalism). I am sure that he will be a wonderful and responsible clan mate. Damn, this was a single players tournament, this was his moment. In the glas cabins of the GSL this wouldnt had happen, but the MLG, so noisy, so different inspired him to do so. IdrA said "this was fucking stupid"? Oh really? Why, because of losing for one time the chance on 500$ or 1500$ more? Or because he wanted to play Huk in the finals? Or because he considers Huk's behavior an offense against his (IdrA's) believes? However, it's in the eye of the beholder. The comment says a lot about Mr. Fields. Anyhow: as a professional Huk has to know when he wants to have a break and enjoy the moment. In a single players tournament it's solely his decission. Is this weakness? Or is it strenght. As a human being, he should know who he wants to be. Being himself he will get the love of the people that are fiting to him and he will be adored by precious people. "Are you regreting it Huk?" That's the only meaningful question I can pose. | ||

"You play to win the games, thats the good thing about sports, you don't play to just play you play to win. Hello!" Herm Edwards He said he wouldn't do it in a tournament like GSL. Credit to Select for winning. He won the game. He played better. I'm not gonna sit here drooling at Huk for losing a game. I'm a fan of his, but not for reasons like this. I hope he can continue to do well and incorporate cute and unique play into wins. | ||

So I don't get banned, I gotta say that I think that at a tournament where the players can hear the crowd, why not be a people pleaser? As is obvious after the game, the crowd didn't give a crap that HuK lost, they loved the game! Why should anyone who didn't go to D.C. to watch the game matter? Starcraft 2 is meant to be a spectator sport. If the spectators don't matter, then what? I don't think HuK cares that he walked away with $1000 dollars, do you? He already won one MLG anyway. Popularity beats tournament wins, every time. | ||

Everyone thought it was awesome and blah blah blah. Some fans thought it was cool... others... not so much. Possibly would have been a great thing for him if he had won but he didn't. He didn't even come close. He threw down a vortex and sucked in 90% of his army then leaves it in the middle to get picked off. I think I have seen bronze players play better than that. Not a troll - just a lurker stating his opinion. | ||

All these "he did it because he wanted to have fun" posts are kinda disheartening because Huk needs to prove that he deserves to keep playing Starcraft 2 and he can't do that by throwing away games. Deserves to keep playing Starcraft 2? Are you fucking mental? He does not have to this or that to 'deserve' to play Starcraft 2 and nobody can dictate to him how he wants and should play the game. | ||

I was mighty entertained and it could've worked for sure. But he was kind of led into it and just seized the moment. Go HuK! | ||
