Lings were his only chance dude. o well that was wrong either.. I'm pretty sure july thought casy FEed and expected slower tech from casy so he actually thought that casy was moving out without medic and wanted to flank casy's marines so he made lings. The key of Casy's move is to cheat july about his tech timing. | ||

That pick was to make sure he had what it took. I'm positive he prefers losing now than choking once again during semis or worse, during the final. Do you seriously think his mind should be like "oh well I'm a choker anyway I should pick rookies and then see if I can get somehow lucky during the semis"? When you lack confidence the worst way of getting things better is to avoid getting in a choking-friendly situation. you think he lacked confidence so he picked him in the ro16? i think midas was overconfident, he won in group stage and thought hey i can beat savior even without longinus II. [edit, my fault i thought he knew no longinus II, in fact he didn't know =P] 1. if he waited, theres no disrespect and savior doesn't get the extra motivation 2. he would have seen the fast guardian strategy. midas does the same exact shit every game and he benefits most from knowing all possible builds that savior can throw at him, if he sees the fast guard build when savior plays another terran he probably would have won the game on hitchhiker no? | ||

If midas' goal was to get into next SL, he shouldnt have picked savior. But if his goal was to win the whole thing, picking savior was the correct choice, in order to get him in a bo3 instead of a bo5. Sure it's nice to have a guarenteed spot in next SL, but no one gives a damn about who finishes top 4 in a SL unless you win (or you fail to win repeatedly and pple remember you for your shortcomings) | ||

edit: i guess you can give a nod to midas because i suppose his BEST chance was to do bo3 with a week to practice in between, but i still maintain that the motivation that savior got from being straight up disrespected wasn't worth it =P | ||

if midas didnt pick him maybe savior loses a luckbox zvz or plays casy or hwasin and they beat him? wouldn't that be a smarter thing to do. | ||

He's lacking confidence when it counts and he knows it (or he's lacking something else, no matter what it is). To get that back, he wanted to beat the number 1 player in the world during a bo3. It was: 1. A player he knew he could beat with those maps. 2. A way of being able to think "well, I beat the Starcraft god already, why would I choke again vs an inferior player?" during the semifinal (provided he'd get that far). Also, once again, he had no idea about Longinus not being there. 1. if he waited, theres no disrespect and savior doesn't get the extra motivation What extra motivation? It's his first OSL. He would be as much motivated vs anyone. 2. he would have seen the fast guardian strategy. midas does the same exact shit every game and he benefits most from knowing all possible builds that savior can throw at him, if he sees the fast guard build when savior plays another terran he probably would have won the game on hitchhiker no? He knew the guardians were coming anyway. Why would he make wraiths otherwise? They're not great to counter mutas or any kind of different hive tech. As Day said he lost the game when he failed his rush. | ||

Sometimes, there's more at stake than an OSL. Honestly, it doesn't sound very heroic to say, "I'm sure I can't win this OSL, so I'm just going settle for what I can get, like a seed in the next OSL, which I can't win either." I'm not saying I agree with it, but I certainly understand why he would do what he did. | ||

and what about midas knowing that zvz could be lucky and hwasin and casy also exist in this osl? they can very well knock out savior for him... that'd be the smart thing to do. not the hardest thing but the smart thing. i agree with you that midas did a manly brave thing, but its a dumb move on his part because it puts even more pressure on him. i disagree that the finals or semis would be less pressure, because midas CHOSE to play him in the ro16 and its like so much weight on him to win in that... its like he created that pressure for himself. | ||

Look at Nada last osl, he had the easy path and he won. Would he have faced someone like Iris or Midas, i don't think he would have made it. Picking one of your worst possible opponent might be a sign of confidence, but in the end i'm not sure it pays off. | ||
