HuK is the MAN. He wasnt throwing the game, but dealing with the surprise factor with Select, who could have never thought that HuK would go Mothership after that talk

He went for 1 gate FE into mothership. If he was less greedy and got more units before MS he would not have lost his nat and it would hav ebeen a different game. But the mothership "rush" made him weak. Im a P player and PvT whine makes me facepalm. | ||

[B][ Esports needs players to stop trying during incredibly important match just to please some dumbasses screaming for a mothership? I would have rather seen HuK try his ass off the beat select. lol what? He was in the loser brackets of a tourny and decided to put on a show for the crowd and you don't like it? I guess you haven't seen the great old games of Boxer (bunker rushing yellow three times in a row etc.) that's how legends are born, playing for the crowd... sometimes you win sometimes you lose, if you don't like it, don't watch sports(Of any kind.)..... | ||

ROFLROFLROFL I thought it was great he went for mothership rush. It could have been very deadly providing select didn't have any scans. | ||

The fans, especially the hardcore ones who show up for live events, are one of the most important part of this whole thing. I think it was great, and Huk has shown enough times that he is quite able to also play to win. Was great on stream too hearing the crowd cheer, and the chat just was the icing | ||

That being said, I didn't really like that mothership play and I especially didn't like how clearly the audience showed that the opponent was doing something special. Not to take anything from SeleCT but I think(even while I was rooting for SeleCT) the crowd gave NonY's proxy robo away. There was atleast a big uproar when the casters went over to the robo and it got scouted like 30sec later by SCV scouting for proxies. | ||

Yeh i definitely think they need progamer booths like the ones in korea to prevent this kinda stuff from happening. It would just be more classy too | ||

But the first place I was looking at that tournament anyway was for entertainment. And HuK was there to deliver it. So I'm a very happy guy. I seriously dont get why people get all worked up because he didn't go for something standard and lost. Its not like he cannon or worker rushed. Give it a rest. If he did some BM talk I would expect this from TL, but this? In my opinion these are the three best players of the tournament + Show Spoiler + SelecT, for his incredible stamina, dang that guy can play long at 200 apm. IdrA, for winning the tournament obviously. HuK, for reaching the winners final before losing to IdrA, then using a mothership in his last game. | ||

Whoa. WHOA. That made me remember a certain interview from a while ago, namely this one: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=137263 In which HuK states: I want to be the next Lim Yo Hwan for SC2 HuK, if you do happen to read this, then know this. You have succeeded. | ||

I find this whole situation hilarious but honestly it's really a testament as to why players should be put in booths. It's silly that in any large match at MLG - the crowd can completely give away something a player is doing. Not even just that either, changing huk's motives for the game as well. I have extreme doubts he was going into that game with a mothership rush build. He was swayed by the crowd and he probably lost because of it. Who knows if he would have played straight up how the game would have turned out. All in all, fun tournament, great casting, some pretty damn good games, and these nerds to be put in glass cubes. | ||

BLASPHEMY, HUK FIGHTINNNNG! I find this whole situation hilarious but honestly it's really a testament as to why players should be put in booths. It's silly that in any large match at MLG - the crowd can completely give away something a player is doing. Kind of agree, I don't know why they wouldn't put them in the booths, seems pretty cheap. The crowd excitement pretty much gave away the impending epicness Although, i'm sure the players love the crowd chanting soo I don't know if isolating them from such energy would be good. | ||
