From what I hear, Huk plays like a beast on the ladder, but not as well in tournaments. Maybe it's just more experience in the tournament setting.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

He probably would have beaten MarineKing too. I thought he was a goner
Probably in game 2, yes. But MKP would've had game 1, for sure.

For the 4gate haters, patch tomorrow makes it take 20s longer to research so the rush should be a big easier to hold off.

He wouldn't have in game 1. MKP's control is better than MMAs, and Huk just barely held that off.
He had about 25 more probes he could have pulled and lost all probes at his nat and still come out ahead, It wasn't as close as it looked imo.

In a way, I kinda think person who only plays one game in up and down matches has an advantage on whoever loses the first set.

It depends entirely on the race breakdown.

If the guy who plays once is X, and the others are Y, then yes X has an advantage in only having to practice one match up while the other guys have to practice two. However, if the guy who plays once is X, and the others are X and Y, Y has the advantage and both X players are disadvantaged.

MKP would have played the first game differently so its impossible to tell, but I think he would have fallen for Huk's dupe in the second game.

Yeah MC has said that Huk is pretty good but his nerves is what's stopping him.

He had like 2 accounts in top ~20 on korean ladder at one time :p

But he has done well in tournys before, just not in korea. Won a MLG and mothership rushed another into 3rd place.

TheWind showing Kyrix who's boss. Kyrix is probably so upset right now. I have a feeling he just really hates ZvZ...

Yuck, terrible cheese attempt by TheWind. Did he really get all the way to Kyrix's base before realizing he didn't have enough for a spine lol?

What was that? Drone rush, then turns around and goes home? The amount of economy he lost for nothing there...
Better to try and win via a lucky bane later on or something imo

The problem was the ling count + queen, not the money for a spine.

What?

The other guy had the same amount of Zerglings out, Drones, AND a Queen.

It doesn't matter if you have enough for a Spine Crawler or not - you're not going to get the chance to plant it.

Ahh, that makes a lot more sense.

Maybe. Though, it really didn't matter. By the time he reached Krix's base, he'd already lost. At that point it was 100-1 against him and he was just deciding how he wanted to die.
