well forgg's tvp is about macro and timing. They've been absolutely killer since all the way back in 2006 and nothing's changed about that, aside from clearly deliberate inclinations towards using more "strategy" and early game micro over the last 6-12 months (which I am confident is becuase the coach/teammates are trying to get him to fix his sometimes atrocious micro abilities).

Kal is actually probably one of the better opponents to match up to him in terms of style though. Forgg is most vulnerable when his timings are set back due to economic damage early, and Kal tends to play a more tricky and shuttle-play style overall. Forgg did overcome Jangbi's inhumane attack on his eco during PL grandfinals, but on the other hand turned over like a dog to some toss on zodiac when faced with eco damage -> carriers. We'll see if the super-dumb forgg or the rather cunning one shows up today.

Text message live poll shows that both players have about the same amount of fans as the % is currently 50-50.

Lets see how it changes when the game actually gets on.

fOrGG going for dual fac as he spots the early expansion. Might be an interesting early game.

Just keep rejoining until you finally make it, I have no idea why it happens sometimes though.

Kal has a zealot out that is attacking a bunker in his base. 2 gates and core now for him while fOrGG is engineering his earlygame push.

Dual machine shop, so we might see some heavy vulture upgrades early or a massive tank contingent.

Tanks it is for fOrGG. Kal is still clueless, but he is getting a citadel to fend off early aggression.

Kal sends up a goon to scout. 3 tanks out for fOrGG and dual upgrades spinning. I suppose he will be upgrading vultures and reinforcing his Tanks with that.

Kal going straight for Templar Archives -> Stargate.

Tanks and Vultures heading down. Kal has 4 goons / 1 zeal.
