I'd say that the first game between TLO and ForGG could already decide the group. | ||

#2 MMA #3/#4 TLO/Strelok not because of koreans being generally better than europeans, but because strelok doesnt seem to be as good as the 2 other Ts in the group and TLO is very gimmicky, which most of the times doesnt work against koreans, especially now that some of his stuff has been shown already. | ||

MVP for example was imo doing slightly better before his much earlier switch, for example won against some strong players in Hana Daetoo msl round before getting knocked out by Flash. But hey this is all just nitpicking, there's definitely more important things to argue about :p | ||

Think so too, but MMA really is the wildcard of this group, I have a clear idea about the strenghts/weaknesses of forGG,Strelok and Dario but there just isn't much to work with when it comes to evaluate MMA. Last WCS group and a few ATC matches are all there is available and in those he showed very mixed performances (not looking at results at match outcome but the way he played). | ||

TLO has a history of beating strong korean terrans when he wasn't nearly as solid as he's now. You might call it gimmicky but him being unpredictable and not going for the greedy style every game is exactly what terrans are afraid of. | ||

He looks so strong sometimes but can lose stupidly in the next game. If stars align then the sky is the limit ... I think he was referring more to the fact that ForGG should be credited with 3 big 2nd place finishes, not two. | ||

That being said, I've become a ForGG fan all over again watching the showmethemsl vods. Definitely hope he pulls through. | ||

The only thing he did that was uncommon, was a swarmhost drop that didn't win him the game. The early spire and the damage done from it was key. He could have continued a complete standard game and still would be very good in there. Other than that, I saw 3 solid games vs forGG... so :x yeah | ||
