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.
1. Not seeing the third gate nor robo really screwed up Midas' build. In particular, I think he decided to not cancel his nat with that (flawed) information.
2. I was wondering what he was building with his fac - why did Midas only have 3 tanks when Anytime's goons came? The answer: 3 vultures. But instead of spreading mines and stalling, Midas tried to sneak in backdoor with the vultures for what I assume is probe harrass or gateway mining. Unfortunately for him, Anytime was able to kill all the vultures with his goons before moving out. In the end, Midas' forces were seperated at the worst possible moment. If the three vultures were with the three tanks when Anytime's goons moved in, Midas probably would have put up a better fight.
you dont really need to see the 4 gates, just seeing 4-5 goons is enough to guess that the guy is going hardcore goon, just back off then and wait while cc builds, if protoss moves out with obs and many goons its time to build a bunker, no need to cancel the cc (this would actually set him back too much and P would expand first while having more units)... losing the vults probably didnt help but i dont think it was the most critical thing, the marines are more important

Midas has more than just Macro. His timing, execution, and some of his micro moments are insane. I will admit though his in-game build flexibility isn't as strong as most S-class.
Last semi he pushed it to five games against sAviOr. FREAKING SAVIOR man. Midas is missing something small and he can be REALLY dominant. I just can't put my thumb down on it.
It's specialized builds for finals. Come on, Anytime only won because of his versatility. Anytime didn't outmacro Midas. He didn't outmicro Midas either. Very few people ever do. He out-thought him and his builds were very typically superb Anytime-builds.

LOL.
I terribly want NaDa to win, but I can't see it happening. I still don't see him as in the shape that he used to e.
NaDa at the end of 2002 and all through 2003 was the most dominant force progaming has ever seen. More dominant than Boxer even IMO. NaDa right now...he doesn't have that edge that he used to.
I'm disappointed in game 5 too. I thought it was even worse than the MSL rA/Savior game on the same map. I'm an Anytime fan and wanted Anytime to win, but after seeing that, I can't help but feel really disappointed.
Ah well, Nada will win the final. Midas cannot beat the legend of the fall, but Nada can sure do battle with the gods.
what im wondering is why these guys never freaking scv/probe scout anymore? by the time they decide to scout, the only information they ever get is their opponents location.
If TT can take a set from Nada... And Anytime is superior in everyway... I know for a fact Nada is taking Arkanoid. Anytime sucked on Arkanoid vs Midas too. The rest I think Anytime can do it.
Nada? Golden Mouse? Hell no. Golden Mouse is reserved for Boxer/Oov. ... or Kingdom+2 -_-;;

You gain alot of money by having 1 more worker mining.

Legendary would be if Anytime won the golden mouse by denying 3 times from the 3 best terrans of all time (boxer, nada and oov). That'd be tight.
yeah that'd be recorded in sc history very nicely, especially because people are saying protoss wasn't being represented in osl in the new age, due to pvz.
