God, that sucks.

It really must be getting hard for Midas though. A player of his calibre not making a final ever...that's weird.

He'll get it eventually, unless he breaks under the pressure.

you have to realize what kind of pressure he was under at the time too. If I remember right there was a FiFo article about it before the semi-final I think. Midas is part of the 6-figure club ($100,000+ a year) in SKT1, but he's also the only one NOT to have won a major tournament. In fact, I don't think he has gotten even close prior to that semi-final. They pay him a lot of money, I guess because he has the potential, but I think he was afraid/under pressure that they might cut him if he turns out to be a flop.

oh and I forgot, didn't he beat a bunch of his team mates to get to that spot? I guess he felt like he let his team down too.

I feel sorry for the guy. This goes to show his motivation/determination to be the best though. Call him a pussy all you want. The guy wears his passion for the game on his sleeve. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with that. He doesn't try to hide it. He just won a shitload of respect from me.

He hasn't won any major tournaments, ok that's fine. But he has saved the whole team, and won a bunch of Ace Matches, that has to mean something, if he doesn't win a Major leauge, is a bitch too, but if he continues to save his team, from losing matches in PL, then to me, it is all fine.

I personally think that he would have won against any zerg but Savior that day. His TvZ has improved tremendously since he joined T1. It's just that Savior is a fucking ZvT monster (Midas could have won 3-1 though, with one or two better decisions during the 815 game... it was so close).

His only problem is his nervousness imho (although for some reason, he looks far more self-confident in proleague, which is confirmed by his amazing record).


probably b/c he knows his teammates have his back, even if he does his best but still loses. There's less pressure for one individual player in proleague, for each game (unless it's facing elimination of course =P but you get the jist of it i'm sure).

Hm, probably a personality thing I guess.. I can guarantee you I'd be 10 times more nervous before a Proleague game than a regular individual league game, especially if I had the same coach as midas -__-

I suppose it was even harder for him, because in order to get to that semi final, he beat both Boxer and Oov. Poor guy.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer
