Certainly, the terrible vortex did, but he had a chance at winning. | ||

Quickly following those things, he does a mothership rush in the loser's final of one of the biggest US tournaments to please the crowd all the while joking and basically telling select what's going on, shows he loves nothing more than playing the game and having fun with it. Can't help but like the guy after all that. Wow. I was the same lol. He won me over with his great sportsmanship and Mothership %) | ||

Yea he theoretically could have won if select makes a ton of micro mistakes and gives him free units, but obviously a mothership isn't that great an idea vs terran, which have strong anti-air and can scan for stealth. | ||

But the vortex was extremely bad indeed. Going for such an early mothership left him unable to defend his expo. It was not a smart move lol, it was a hilarious one, Ill give you that. The vortex sure it was a screw up and maybe he could have come back if the vortex worked out but at that point he was 1 vs 2 base already. | ||

I can see his reasoning too, but I still think it's abit depressing for a competitive person to do something like this at that point of the tournament. | ||

Maybe the mistake in that game was not the mothership, but the expansion he did with it instead of going all in :o ! | ||

Honestly without telling select his basic build order so that select didn't really mule at all so he had 3 scans in a row it might have worked. | ||

Really, Huk had to do silly chatting to mindgame out Select from knowing through the crowd that a mothership was made. Very strange and awkward. How is a mothership going to ever work without the element of surprise? Especially vs Select's style? But this game is being celebrated? Why? | ||
