I think what Midas and Savior have here is a bit of rivalry. Midas wanted revenge for defeat in MSL, and he picked him in group stages. He beat him, then he thought I have to beat the hottest player in a bo series now. I must have my revenge, I will be the first one to beat him in a bo series. If you take Midas`s SKILLS into consideration it makes sense.

Please note to all I am not Midas fan, but I respect his skills. He and Savior are on the same level. Just as seen in this bo3, Midas had the edge in every game, he was so close to win every game of that bo3. I think the main reason why he lost are some bad decision making. He could have finished todays game in like under few minutes. When he pushed into Saviors natural and killed all the lings, there was only one sunken, and reinforcements were on the way, but he chose to go back. He could have gone into Saviors main and killed drones because there weren`t any zerglings iirc.

Also Savior had a lot of luck in this bo3, you can`t say he didn`t. I am not trying to justify Midas, but I think he does not deserve all this shit talking. He came so close to beat Savior like no other terran player.

The crucial thing in todays game was once again awesome muta micro from Savior. He managed to keep Midas in his base so long, even tho he didn`t have much mutas from the beginning. And then Midas decided to go out, and Savior already morphed guards, and Midas was caught with his pants down, and undefended base. Brutally executed by Maestro^TM
What a player this Savior is

You could say savior's 1 lurker killing like 4 tanks in the first game was lucky or you could say it was skill. Just like you could say Midas doing the correct build order to counter savior's build order in game 2 was lucky or skill. You could say Midas stimming twice in his early attack in game 3 was unlucky or bad skill. Either way you say it sAviOr won.

I dont know. Savior is a beast. I say it again. I think midas is still too one dimensional. He\'s a strong player but once you start shaking around his gameplan he struggles. I just dont think he can addapt well to critical unforseen situations. He\'s the typical newskool macro-generation-player. Absolutly fearsome exponential growing power. But that\'s it. Use the right mindtrick, and he\'s done.

Savior on the other side sees his next step right after his main-plan failled. He can addapt so fast to every situation. But if you hit him at the right time you can gain an advantage. I think there are two ways of beating savior. Extremly well timed ninja kicks or the long, hard way. And if you go for the long way you cant do things by half-measures. Every decision has to be well considered. Hwasin did the ninja thing. Nal_Ra did the long painfull way. Midas tried a halfhearted timed ninja and failed. That\'s it. He pulled back and was saviors puppet from then on.

All im saying is, when you play against the best player of the world stick to things you\'re 100% sure you are able to do. Everything else is stupid.

I'm surprised that a player like FBG can pull out some very creative plays in that game.

UpMuch, then FBH then Casy - looks like a Boxer spirit has come to OSL.^^ While Midas keeps showing why he's a strong player but will not become a great one anytime soon with his inflexibility and lack of thinking-out of the box.

(To some guy who keeps arguing that July is a noob than Casy's move is purely pimp, no offense but your posts are just painful to read, please kindly consider stop making new ones for a while to watch and read more)

Look, its simple,, Midas disrespected savior's skills, he thought just because he'd beat him once he could do it again bo3 and he failed and got raped... Could the Midas fans please stop crying about it and accept it to be the case,,, A lot of people still aren't giving Savior the respect he deserves.. Is it because people have gotten so used to terrans dominating zergs in OGN (in general)? If you didn't have the occasional zerg player who could consistently beat decent terrrans (July no longer qualifies) then Starcraft would suck,,, SK terrran domination couldn't last forever, so get over it,, anyway on these maps nada and FBH are a massive threat to Savior... Who wants to see nada win again anyway,, lets have someone new! (ie- Savior) ((sorry Much you'd make a good underdog but Savior's ZvP is too good..)
actually come to think of it casy's probably the biggest threat,, his ZvT is very scary indeed,,,

In terms of pure gaming skills he is, but he's a choker and proves it over and over again ( double stim WTF ?!?!? ) Savior has skills + mental strenght/ability to handle pressure to support it on big events.

Anyway NaDa is going to win his 4th OSL so who cares about those 2 newbs :p

Fatzerg got owned really hard.

Midas' doublestim lost him the game. Granted, sAviOr played very well, but midas could have done more damage if he didn't fsck up. Not that it would have clinched the victory for him, but at least he would have winning chance.

NaDa! gogo~

I don't like Casy b/c he knocked out YellOw in shinhan 1, but I like him more than savior.

I want savior > much
nada>fake yellow

others I don't care.
