just watched the vod too. Midas fucked up really, unexcusably bad by trying to get his tank up the ramp and also blocking with scvs at the same time, causing him to lose the second tank because anytime had more goons than he should due to midas not killing any goons with the gundam. And more importantly midas only saw 2 gates, not the 3rd, not the robo. So in retrospect I retract all my conspiracy theory statements and will accept that midas, simply, fked up.

You have to think in the way that every build has a purpose, why expand later when you can expand sooner, you expand later cuz you want to gain in some other area or you want to have more control early on in sacrifice of economy. 4-6 rines = 200 to 300 min + vult = another 75 min + mine research = 100 more minerals, why spend all that when you can, perfectly safe, expand with one tank and maybe 2-3 rines less?

DT's don't can still be stopped by mine and turret regardless if you come out or not.

Of course he would've liked to kill 1-2 goons, but it really doesn't matter. I think losing all your gundam force for seeing anytime's base in game 5 of the OSL semi-finals is a no-brainer, gundam armies get destroyed pretty often.

The problem with Midas he isnt an exciting player, he's just a solid macroer, that's all he is, with good timing and game sense, he hasn't got the flare of the likes of NaDa and JulyZerg, that's why he'll never win an OGN or MBC, to become a champion you need more than one thing, in my opinion, Midas has only got one thing, macro, nothing else.

I agree. Back when I wasn't a GoodFriend fan, I always thought they were the same when it comes to a lot of things, including their standard play. Midas has good timing in TvP though. GF does the same eventually (against Bisu in Peaks of Baekdu, and his slow aggressive push style in Arcadia 2: that play style looks like he was playing TvT, haha).

WRONG! He definately has that Mojo. Top 4 MSL, Top 4 OSL. PL Ace... Don't worry, Midas is young. He is also consistant. Midas will not fall from Starcraft for a very disgustingly long time.

And Yeah, I talked to Zulunation on MSN and said the same things Honesttea did cept I also added Midas probably made those vultures seeing only 2 gate and expected slower obs so he chose a mine stall over Siege for his expo and it all bit him in the ass.

ok i lied not last post :p.
