IdrA (Z) vs HuK (P) G2 Dreamhack Winter Group 1 - Day 2

[atomrocketcar]

i consider my self to be the only person who thinks dayis the worst commentor

[IBadBigIWolf]

Huk isn't even in code S

neither is White-ra, they are not the best P in the world.

[CamAtkinson21]

combat ex best protoss

[rmdguitar]

@CamAtkinson21 I agree

[zaxceXXX]

Man I love day [9] but that second commentator really knows his stuff all other commentators just says what happends exept day 9 he is the only one that talks about oppertunitys and differential maps etc etc... and now this guy have joind him :)

[risanwo]

Idra is gg'ing faster and faster each time, eventually his games will last 20 seconds. "5 damage on my scouting drone, omfg gg"

[leoncio91]

@risanwo lol that makes no sense but its hilarious

[MolotovBeaver]

Hero is easiest best protoss followed by HuK, then maybe ToD

[Frondo22]

was this best of 3?

[Sielenify]

For me, ToD just made it in my list including HuK and WhiteRa.

[Devane11B]

HuK, WhiteRa, HerO.. top 3 toss players.. no way to really say whos the definitive #1

[PatrickSmithPhD]

Huk is so good. A great person AND a great SCII player <3

[aznmatt94]

how the hell did Huk hold that off, jeez he and whitera are just on a whole nother level of protoss

[TigerArti]

omg idra is so bad

[treepizzle]

@TigerArti dislike him if you will, Idra is a fantastic sc2 player

[co2prod]

@STFUbubba18sar apology accepted

[co2prod]

Because I like the way Protoss units can be made the most of, displayed wonderfully here by huk.

[renatomrs]

No way huk is better than OZ or even Puzzel

[co2prod]

@STFUbubba18sar Okay, "stfububba18sar," why are you so mad? What did I do to piss you off so badly?

[rahl8]

Amazing micro and decision making in the game.

[drack0]

0:46

[AbduCola]

I think this play pushed HuK a bit past WhiteRa for me. I thought it was a guaranteed loss

[BlazingsNL]

Hmm it's too bad IdrA does things like this when he loses. I really think he could beat HuK in a macro game, but I guess he was afraid of another rush from HuK. Didn't expect a 2-0 though.

[owensamrob]

Huks micro is second to none.

[terrell568]

Stick to your style idra

[Rastadudeqictures]

To bad the video is only 6 and a half min long, you know who´s gonna win then.

[mrvolax]

@Rastadudeqictures

Not at all. I was 100% expecting Idra to win when I saw a short vid and a Roach bust. 

[Militarized]

Weird, Idra beat Huks ass 2-0 last time they played at a tournament. Tables got turned this time! lol

[TilkiTheSharingan]

ace is still best

[iconicfury]

Huk just drop kicked that push o.O

That was epic defense :O

[grimsquire]

Where does MC stand in terms of protoss skill level?

[VideoFletcher]

He always GG

[rayxu1996]

Nobody can beat IdrA's rage

[Rosvolainen]

@rayxu1996 NOBODY? NOBODY??? FU!!!!

lol

[Razomir]

6:47 and 6:43...yep. Idra got vastly outmatched.

[buldren0101]

HUK NORRIS FTW!

[Joshgt2]

Best Protoss player in the world? I would say that it is pretty close between HuK and WhiteRa for being the best Protoss players in the world.

Love them both though, =D

[Abemunken]

@Joshgt2 WhiteRa aint close lol...

[FunnyVidsIllustrated]

@Joshgt2 WhiteRa isn't as good as HuK, but he has some very interesting tactics (speshul tactics), which are very exciting to watch! (:

[zozigy]

@Joshgt2 WhiteRa is nothing compared to HuK. Even Her0 is regarded ahead of him. HuK and MC probably the two best Protoss players right now.

[finalfrontier001]

@zozigy

naniwa bitvch naniwa bitch 

[zozigy]

@finalfrontier001 Yes, Naniwa would follow close behind them, but only right now. Naniwa has his ups and downs, right now, he is having a "up" time, if he continues to improve at the rate he does, he will end up, easily, the best Protoss in the world.

[havocdestinyx]

@Joshgt2 i <3 them too! but don't forget ogsMC. he is kinda on his down now though =(

[JayZeeeK]

@Joshgt2 Kinda forgetting Naniwa and MC...

[mchan32]

@Joshgt2 you forgot Naniwa, Hero, Oz.. MC is up there too.. He is just on a bad patch now...

[redfox2020]

@Joshgt2 NaNi?

[shadowsk8ersmiley]

@Joshgt2 kiwikaki? lulz

[SweetSinFZ]

@Joshgt2 White ra is smart in tactical decisions, HuK is micro :D

[keme989]

@Joshgt2 im not his fan but dont forget mc

[MadBagOfHorses]

@keme989

MC is code A. He's not in contention for best toss in the world any more.

[xaositectz]

@MadBagOfHorses he is in code S now, hero and huk are in the up/downs.

[Etrajbe]

@Joshgt2 Naniwa crushes them

[MMilesteg]

@Joshgt2 Have you seen ToD ???

[Brandansmite2010]

@Joshgt2 just as a heads up the best protoss in the world isn't white.

[RoederGaming]

@Joshgt2 As much as I love Whitera, he's not even top 3 protoss. You let your fanboism decide. 

[53gimmig35]

@Joshgt2 Don't be forgetting MC or Naniwa..

[dddddddddddd71]

@Joshgt2 lol ? Best Protoss players are MC SlayerSPuzzle and Genious

[Kschinina]

@dddddddddddd71 negative pal

[legendarypho]

@Joshgt2 Hero is easily the #1 toss.

Before that it was MC

dont kid yourself

[MeowMaster17]

@Joshgt2 Actually oGsMC is the best

[CAL1FORNIASUPERSTAR]

idra was soooo pissed...sweet game huk!

[azndudejiang]

@Scarxful wow dumbass... Long macro game isn't a fucking opening

[thebigoneisbig]

Holy shit HuK is simply out of control. I can't believe he didn't win MLG Providence when this is exactly what Naniwa lacked vs Leenock

[SleepyJom]

Damn Huk Norris!

[Scarxful]

Idra just has 2 openings:

- fast roach rush

- long macro game

[chaosrave]

@Scarxful only one of those are openings... the other is a style of play? lol... but yes i agree somewhat

[DankDarko]

@Scarxful yes because thats what you do in that situation. Toss FE? Do I double expand and get a quick third and try to defend the VR play (long macro game) or do I rush and stop it now (roach rush).

[SuperHeroR]

Wow! IdrA doing all-ins... what has the world come to?

[ProgmaticSilkanoid]

Even after joining together in camaraderie, HuK still manages to troll IdrA.

[ajmpinoywolf]

Huk is a boss!!!

[aCanoCoke]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

[notoriousxmike]

whos the other caster?

[cweida111]

@notoriousxmike I think he's called mr. bitters or somethign

[njones1091]

I love how people hate on IdrA so much when he GG's all the time early on. "He's so bad he lost so badly" but he leaves when he's not rly even losing that bad.

[MrReachFails]

protoss is so fucking gay

[WeylnH2VC]

ok im at 5 secs and I am commenting he asked me a question. "What is going through idra's head right now?" Idra's head: Toss is imba

[schnepple]

idra is so garbage. quit more plz.. thx

[Clermn]

@schnepple Better then you. Guess your worse then garbage?

[schnepple]

@Clermn i thought he was some god zerg macro player... and when he has a chance to he quits even after his roaches did good damage. i can link to a dozen videos of idea quitting for no reason. stupidest player ever... deserves no respect. doesn't even believe in his own ability to come back. if he's not winning from the start he's gonna quit. the best example is against huh when he hallucinated an army and made idea gg

[Clermn]

@schnepple True dat.

[infamoushack]

pwned. GG huk!

[bamchikawahwah86]

@Mrvoodoochild1 I suggest you watch trimaster vs revnox... Then tell me its not worth playing till the end... And yeah I'm in bronze (-.-)

[bamchikawahwah86]

@gilowadept I don't expect anything less from an idra fan boy...

[dasd9139]

Is this really idra? :(

[MincrafterNoob]

Hmmm a 6:43 game with Irda...... hmmmmm



[bamchikawahwah86]

EG should drop idra from the team... What a sooky bitch! Play till the end ffs!

[Mrvoodoochild1]

@bamchikawahwah86 In what world is it smart to drop arguably the most popular SC2 player in the world for something that he is famous for? Secondly, you must be in bronze because the game was absolutely over. I don't see how you could expect idra to come back from a roach all in that does very little damage with VR's about to spawn and no expo.

[gilowadept]

@bamchikawahwah86 you are really dumb aren´t you? :o

[MrHav1k]

lol wow

[IMadLarkin]

Idra has been so off this tournament. And to be fair, Huk hasn't been that great either, coming from Korea to a 3 day MLG tournament and then to Sweden the week after must be quite exhausting. You can tell that Idra was off just by the fact that his first drone was slower than Huk's first probe... Idra's drone is NEVER second.

[BlaZe941025]

toss >zerg

[tubber106]

WHY U GG :F

[GKFC]

They are teammates, and HuK played well / he played badly. Would be pretty bm even for IdrA not to.

[xCheezeProductions]

Hmm, ragequit much



[dodekaedius]

Hmm... Usually i would say, this game can be used as a "howto defend roachrush, while forge-fast-expand", but when i watch it over and over again, i have to say, this can never be used as a howto, because other players haven't the awesomeness of huk. There is no copy out there of that fantastic style. Brilliant! 3 HuK

[sorellla]

sorry for my noobness but who is the commentator on the left?

[TPBThommTPB]

@sorellla I think that's mr bitter

[baut33]

@sorellla mr bitter

[amazingwil]

@sorellla Bitters

[darklobomator]

game 1

-6:47

game 2

-6:43

lol

[Rufbumpa]

@darklobomator The length of the videos alone is enough to determine the winner

[robrobinson831]

Ok I have to ask. I love watching Day[9] casting games and Mr Bitter is great too. I also like Artosis, Apollo, and Totalbiscuit. But I cant stand Tasteless! Is it just me or is that guy the worst caster ever! He just says the most obvious things when he's casting and it drives me crazy to listen to him while I am trying to watch a match. And someone might say "well just dont watch matches when he commentates"! The only problem is he always seems to be the commentator for live MLG finals :(

[lassefan]

@robrobinson831 I really dont have much against him. I think he and Artosis make a great team together tho, something artosis prob would do if with an other caster.

[slarcraft]

@robrobinson831 I completely disagree. Tasteless is a legendary commentator and he explains some stuff sometimes which obviously is for people not that familiar with the details of the game. If you would only analyse the game it wouldnt be that accessible to newbies

[robrobinson831]

@slarcraft Oh for sure! I know that he is in there for newbies to understand the game better. But I would imagine that most people watching a live cast for large tournaments have a pretty good understanding of what's going on already. So my frustration and annoyance comes from the fact that we are watching high level game play and instead of getting comprehensive play by play, we get stuck with someone stating the obvious.

[TheBarbahaba]

that sim city from huk saved him the game

great use of those probes

he basically shows us how to stop roach rushes

ouch from idra not only does he gets cheesed from huk he loses another game by failing to cheese huk great double games

[SC2News]

Idra: "Go HuK yourself! uhh... I meant GG"

[xtcongo]

Bitter does not know how to be expressive with his hands, he sits there dispensing gold league know how and waving them around like an idiot

[Jeeve79]

are those headsets from the 70's?

[treeco73]

another 6 min game. I almost thought idra lost to another dt rush XD

[shaseim4st3r]

waoh that was amazing

[markrik1]

SPOILERS

[qwertyzz7]

Wow. Idra doesn't know how to do rushes. Protip, don't funnel low range units.

[TriggeYHappY]

@qwertyzz7

lol its always funny to see no names giving pros tips

[ZikicaKikica]

best protoss is RatZDeezer LOL

[DOmetry]

@ZikicaKikica nice trolling :P

[JokiGyla]

Idra cheese? WTF.. he always whine about cheese

[SturFriedBrains]

Huk is the best toss in the world... (accept for pvps, that is reserved for... i think it was minigun who dominates any of the major toss... i forget but he is Korean if that helps lol) and honestly I think Huk is the best player in the world, I cant see anyone else who has such a solid common strat, who is so comfortable with odd, aquward (forgive the spelling, i suck at it) scenarios too. He is just overall awesome!!!

[HJaySC]

@SturFriedBrains I'm pretty sure axlav's pvp is better than miniguns, and on that note whitera's pvp is even better than axlav's so...

[SturFriedBrains]

@HJaySC WhiteRa got wrecked like in like 2 out of 3 games vs the guy im thinking of, I dont know if it was minigun, thats just the first name that came to mind, I know its a korean guy but thats about it... and Huk and WhiteRa are about equil in PvP from what I see.

[KAmaKAsa1]

@SturFriedBrains ok first huk is not korean and huk often goes for a bit risky shit which gets him alot of these stupid losses and huk is not even near the best player in the world if i had to say anyone is its probably mvp, but huk is at most the best north american protoss

[SturFriedBrains]

@KAmaKAsa1 ok first off i never said HUK was Korean, and 2 Huk has won more games vs more diverse players array then I have seen out of any other player and if you actually pay attention to his games he follows the same basic pattern which is something like 3 or 4gate+robo+maybe early stargate for early void or phenix, but when he wants to he goes for really cool odd plays and even though they almost never KILL his enimy he finds a way to make it work in his favor... that being said who is best?

[HauntinHorror]

Hmm...are there any Huk vs. WhiteRa games??



[braxtino]

Still longer than Kim Kardashian's marriage...

[co2prod]

This is why i play protoss.

[DxHuman]

@co2prod lol, but you can't play for shit compared to these players so why even mention it?

[co2prod]

@DxHuman I play with and against pros, so I think I can mention it. Not amazing, though.

[Jojojojof]

WOW... Naniwa had some issues holding that play off AFTER he saw the roaches coming. HuK had not Idea and still held it off so well...

[FalconX88]

@Jojojojof yeah because Naniwa plays the same strat every game and just don't think anyone can break it....

[Jojojojof]

@FalconX88 My point is, Naniwa saw it coming and had time to mass up on cannons, and still had a hard time holding it off. HuK didn't see it coming and didn't have too much of an issue holding it off.

[co2prod]

{_}

 \/

[xAmazin]

might be the most amazing hold ive ever seen

[lolyjoly123]

This looks like my typicall game when I forge fast expo. Except i get fucking crushed.

[nic014s]

please day9, stop having orgasms each time Idra lose...

[Whitebeardtheking]

@nic014s Day 9 please countinue to have orgasms each time idra lose...

[DOmetry]

idra always ggs to early...your opponent can always make a stupid mistake that could cost him the game. Just because you are behind does not mean you will for sure lose. Between this and all his MLG early ggs to leenock, i think he should reevaluate the way he plays

[Meahalf]

@DOmetry IdrA in both games didn't gg early. He didn't have any detection up in the first game and it would have taken too long to get some and he couldn't possibly defend against void rays with his tech.

IdrA knew he lost, that is all.

[DOmetry]

@Meahalf first game yes. 2nd game no. he could have started production of another queen and laid his evo chamber down. void ray was only halfway when he saw it

[iamjohnism]

@DOmetry yea but you forget he is on one base with not many drones, the tactic he used was basically all in so yea he wouldnt be able to catch up with huk

[DOmetry]

@iamjohnism it is highly unlikely ill agree but not impossible. in such important tournaments you should try till the very end

[ygyf]

@DOmetry i think when zerg is one base all in, it has no chance of winning two base protoss after the first push fail, not mention the opponent is Huk

[nikolakolaric87]

what?! no ... waay...

[inimalPsych]

in how long????????

[KTFlaSh96]

6:43 commentary... Need to ask?

[demonicspire1]

wow, idra has had terrible luck in this tourney. He seems pretty frustrated.

[dan123222123]

Only two games? I know Idra is red in the face.

[leon1002555]

Huh is now EG? wtf...

[mustangrun173]

@leon1002555 old news, bro

[MrMilan90]
