I'm not sure I'd call ForGG the original elephant, he was far from top tier at the end, other than that nice blog. I also have TLO and MMA advancing, although I have no idea how good MMA is atm

Why are we making jokes about this again? I don't get the context.



how many times have you heard someone call TLO creative?

Ya, should've used this one

Strelok has a shot, I think and so does everyone else in this group.

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

#1 ForGG
#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.

yeah but he wasn't actually good at the time of the switch anymore, he lost 8 out of his 10 last matches. 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

I think you underestimate Strelok and overvalue MMA.

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 didn't win it. TaeJa did thus beginning the Summer of TaeJa. Overall ForGG is a nightmare for Millenium fans. 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.

Forgg slightly favored over TLO but not by much. Should be an interesting match for sure.

He shouldn't though, Apollo screwed up, ForGG got 3rd place at ASUS ROG and 2nd at ESWC and DH Valencia, it's still "only" two 2nd place finishes.

TLO has had ForGG's number for quite some time now.

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

How was TLO creative? 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
