I'll give you an Australian up vote just for asking.

Is there a website affiliated with this channel?...

Dude! I joked about how you could do that to him a week before I saw the video where it happened.

Could you drop your exaggerated music in the background which makes it hard to hear what is going on while doing other things.

Oh and, if you say the subject of your video is one thing, I'd like that to start being addressed within minutes, instead of talking about rivalry for so long.

Dude it's in the vid lol

May be I missed it. What is the timestamp?

9:50 +

Yeah, but where is the ad that I'm talking about? I don't think it's in the video

miniUsername The ad you’re talking about isn’t in the video.

Exactly, I know nothing about Star Craft but I wasn't lost at all which says a lot of how well they did this video

Same

they still havent nerf void rays.

@@wiceorc5105 void rays are so easy to counter...

@@toasty22554 no they arent, just mix them with mothership and carriers. and make early rush with it. easy gg, especially in 2on2.

google didn't give me shit. What poster?

Ashcandy i googled “huk idra this isn’t” and it was like the 4th image

now I see it. But it's the sixth image ;)

Agressive Pigeon fun rarely wins

Fun gamers dont get paid anymore

Well they do practice on the same game for up to 12 hours per day 7 days a week. I doubt pretty much anyone would enjoy a game after that

Panu Tikkala competitive gaming pays less than streaming deerppppppp

nah not that rare

With a lisp.

kinda

It is straight-up one of the most memorable moments in e-sports, in general. As long as Starcraft is a thing, it won't be forgotten.

You know you fucked up when you're remembered for a loss.

Dude, I was talking to a work buddy and SC2 partner like a week or two before that happened. Even though I was a Zerg player I disliked Idra due to the bm. Yeah, I actually brought up the hallucination strategy before it happened because Idra was known to quit games when ever he saw an engagement he would get smashed in. When it happened I couldn't breathe for half an hour.

Hi đồng hương.

Remembered for the loss and the crappy attitude.

LOL

HOH HOH HOH

Wow does that take me back.

HyperionSc2 CUZ HES A LIL BIIIITXH

Man as an Avid Huk fan in the day I remember that joke very fondly

Early WoL was something special.

It was a great time to have been into the scene and watching every casting on their games, leading up to the tournament.

The Real Pleb I mean I suck at the game in terms of competitive due to just not playing games that api intensive but it's still fun with friends or to play the custom maps on the game, which there are a lot off.

@Anthony Keen yeah, Starcraft is one of the most underrated f2p games right now imo. The custom games give you so many options, including gamemodes like FPS, MOBA, board games, mario party, pictionary, "2D" platformers, etc. One of the most powerful custom game engines.

just wanted to ask who is the girl on your pp??

The fact that they are both Americans makes that even funnier

@@miguelpereira9859 Huk is Canadian

@Qimodis There are plenty of geniuses. And plenty of them don't give up when the first thing goes wrong. Call me what you want. I'm 26.

he was neither emotionally fragile a control freak or a genius. Plenty of grit needed. Absolute boomer arcmchair psychologist

@@mareksicinski3726 Then how would you describe what you just saw?

I love those bizarre boomer statements, neithe rpart of any fo thsi makes any sense He just had an emotionally unhealthy relationship to the agee and competition, anger issues. He's studying materials science now

@@mareksicinski3726 He's just a turd that comes off like he's never been punched in the face. Smart, and amazing at a video game no doubt, but the real world doesn't suffer fools like this.

Do you know, why Idra didn't play Terran? 'Cause he had self respect... ;P

yeah toss seemed dumb

Do pro roshan fails and aegis steals, dota2.

Pls stop him to shaking his hand... lol...

Sir can you make an episode regarding on "GRINDING" like leveling character for hours. The history of the term and such regarding to it. Ty ty ty

You look at the wrong camera a lot. There should be a little light on your camera to show you which one is recording. You're welcome mate, better luck next video!

It's an awesome game. Check out Winter (WinterStarcraft on KZfaq, WinterGaming on Twitch). His stream/videos are very friendly to the newcomer, where he does tutorials and build guides, and casts bronze league games and stuff. Watching those bronze league casts really helps give you confidence to ladder, because you can see there are other people around your skill level still playing the game, and there are people out there who you can beat, even though the game has been going for so many years. Once you're more comfortable in the game, and are looking for more skilled high level games/commentary, I highly recommend PiG (x5_PiG on twitch, PiG on KZfaq). Though his stream kinda assumes you know what's going on, so you might be lost without background knowledge on the game. Hope to see you in the SC2 community. It's recently gone free-to-play, so there's nothing to lose just checking it out. :)

Danielle Spargo you forgot that PiG also covers the maybe most detailed series of introductions into starcrafts, covering simple openers, macro cycles and most important mechanics like how to gain map vision.

Not 100% sure but I believe it's the one against MMA? I actually thought this video would be about that since that was such a surreal moment where everything looked perfect and then.... he rq'd.

The Idra/MMA game is perhaps the perfect summation of Idra as a player: he has too much confidence in his reading of the game state, and if his read is wrong, he looks silly and then rages about how terrible the opposing player was to win in that way. He scouts MMA's third command center building in the base, doesn't see MMA make one of the most baffling blunders in pro SC2 history, but *does* see MMA building a new command center at the gold base: at that point he assumes without evidence that MMA has flown the 3rd down to one of the south bases and is now building his 4th. So he shoves his army across the map in an attempt to crush MMA before he gets the 4th up, gets an okay but not crushing trade, and believes (wrongly) that he is a base behind and therefore screwed.

I think that was his MutaLingBane against Marine Marauder Medivac of MMA

"Some Korean" And those Koreans are shitting on NA

I remember aswell! Starcraft was a different time back then!

DorjeDriftwood he was a great player. He was just so toxic. He was mean and just overall a sad person.

i mean "Starcraft was just a way to beat people" is a sentence that shoudl make him shunned by the gaming community. I mean, it does imply that he doesn't care about the game, the community, or anything except winning. He was good at something and used it to fell better than other people. I'm glad he managed as a person to realise why he was doing that and moved on to something (liffting/fitness) that bring him the samefullfilement without having to stomp other.

@@shorebreakers96 It's a competitive game. You think he should be shunned for being...competitive?

@@khanzy. There is a difference between "being competitive" and being an arse. If you main kick for doing something is to feel superior and to make people rage, you are not competitive, you are a bully.

Idk, I took the video length as a clue that it would be a lot more fleshed out than a simple retelling of that particular story

Title was a disappointment for me. I came for an interesting analysis of the game play and mind games, and ended up sitting through a bunch of drama instead.

Yeah i think he was just playing a character and it worked bscause he was pretflty famous

Eventually it backfires though, because I'm sure it can be demoralizing when 80% of the fanbase hates your guts. That's probably why he doesn't even own a PC anymore, and Huk is still in the scene

I don't think so. He's been pretty open about how he felt competition in that sense was unhealthy for him, and he's just chosen to direct that feeling into something more positive, namely weight lifting and finishing school.

@Qimodis ...what?

'back in the sc2 days'? SC2 didn't leave, it was not a set time period, just a different era- so more like 'WoL days'

@ConditionalUK yeah sure thing

r/thathappened

ConditionalUK you’re so full of yourself I’m not sure how you can function. Do you ever take a step back and realize this? Im sure the people around you do. It’s never too late to stop being someone no one likes.

He may very well be lying, but it's not unreasonable to think he could have played them at some point, there's many very good players not playing pro

Are you sure that was the real HuK? Lots of fakes out there, and HuK was a Protoss, especially in late 2011 when he joined EG.

Carl Lilleng “Did Idra just leave another won game?”

That was MMA, a very good Terran player back in 2011. He blew up his own command center by accident, then Idra rage quit without realizing he was miles ahead and about to win.

@@Doncroft1 was this game even important for him?

iamdihan day9 is dead now

He's still streaming.

That’s what I call dedication

Is he the same day9 in dota scene?

He's been in the last e3 as an announcer, he's also been in the hearthstone scene and mtg as well

Justin Healy faker is THE pro player

yea that's why he's gonna win worlds again! O wait...

@@Dissonance556 sadly its a team game

Léo Vinicius NA>KR

"Ginna win Worlds again"? Not this year, SKT T1 disbanded. Fnatic are favourites to win now.

@Dimitri Raymondo Jadong's dream run in the WCS BlizzCon finals was peak starcraft for me.

love Has so much

Yeah I miss some of the old players.

I feel there was another peak when Byun rose to dominance in LotV a few years back. Such a dominant performance and with a heartwarming story behind it. It hit right when the scene was starting to lose hope too.

WoL had me transition from only watching boxing and MMA to watching esports. That and SSB4. So many characters

then watch it. it aint dead.

That would take hours. I'd still watch it.

Tuna Empire but you have to include Bisu and the other Protoss guy which name I always forget as well, since they all became Bonjwas at practically the same time which didn't happened before/after it again.

Razer did make a documentary about it. If you didn't watch it you should, it's pretty good

@@asmylia9880 Stork was the other Protoss.

Mik Luna ah thanks, maybe I should pin a note on my forehead or such...

dead game

It's definitely not dead, and the esports side seems to be way healthier now than say 2 years ago.

Huk and Stephano! I used to watch MLGs TV show on Australian paid TV even though I'd seen all the recent games just cos it was cool to see my favorite players on the TV

I don't know if you've watched the current tournaments but let me just say the games now are just crazy good. Lots of action, crazy micro-plays, more diverse playstyles (except ZvZ) clashing, and lastly a foreigner just won a premier Korean tourny.

better days? dude, the current SC tournaments are still amazing!!

When it comes to esports, yeah.

@@okthen270 Petty sure it applies to more than just Esports. The pressure on education can be insane.

Nah that guy is older and heavier than zeyzal is now.

That's actually a very popular youtuber, Boogie2988, and he is way slimmer now after going through operations, weight loss programs and such.

Greg wasn't really that bad, he just had a tendency to get salty when he lost, which isn't really unique in the gaming community. He shit talked a lot but overall, especially once he started playing team games, he was super chill. Source: was friends with and played with Greg for about a year in between his SC2 / HotS careers, taught him DotA2 with a couple others. Before becoming friends with him I thought he was just a toxic BM piece of shit. Just figured I'd throw it out there since people really hyper focus on his (admittedly) cocky attitude and shitty behaviour from earlier in his SC2 career.
