I mean, I haven't seen anywhere near all of the reps yet, but in the ones I'm seeing, he is consistently running up 4 digit minerals and sometimes 4 digit gas and he makes a ton of sloppy decisions. I was uncharacteristically unimpressed by his performance. I've been considering him the most consistent terran of the moment, but what I am seeing in these replays is leaving me wondering how realistic that assessment is. I'm certainly not taking away credit from Draco and Testie (I haven't seen the Testie games yet, but Draco looked really strong in his game; I still think his macro is a bit weak for a progamer toss player, but his decision making is very sharp and very original and his control is never sloppy -- he looks ready for a starleague appearance), but I mean come on, a player who is top 3 Terran in the world shouldn't be losing that many games to foreigners, and even in the games he's winning he looks very "touchable." Oov's group stage games were monstrous. "How bad can I embarrass these foreigner newbies." I haven't seen any of July's games yet, but it's probably very similar. Next year I think the foreigner community will be in good shape to take the title. The top Koreans can't guarantee qualifying, especially if WCG uses new maps next year, meanwhile the very top foreigners (Draco and Testie really, can't comment on Lx or PJ or Mondragon right now...) are looking dangerously close to A-class or even (dare I contradict statements I have said in the past, dare I even think it) S-class progamers in skill. Edit: Let the controversy begin. Edit 2: The big weakness is Zerg. I don't think any foreigners yet have a *real* answer for S-class Korean Zergs. P and T players are not a problem it would seem. and while I'm making this edit, yes I am aware that Koreans swept the medals, but they looked quite touchable, and bear in mind that all three of the Koreans are top 10 in Korea, top 10 in the world. I agree, midas played Snorecraft and didn't even do it well. "Is this REALLY the guy who went 12-1 TvP on ongamenet..?" Iloveoov hrm.. Game 1 vs draco = Wtf was he doing? I'm really interested to know what he was planning to do before he found the proxy gate O_O Game 2 - uhm well, he should have lost, definitely should have lost (draco should have just raped 7 with his carriers). Game 3 he 1) Shouldn't have retreated goons from oov's choke until siege. 2) Shouldn't have sent his probes away from his nat so quickly, he would have been able to afford speed zealots etc if he didn't! But at least oov made an effort to not play snorecraft, midas just sat there -_- | ||

That's not the first time I've been confused in conversation by that. | ||
