As much as I would love to see ForGG winning a major tournament, I don't think he is capable of it. He isn't a bulldozer like TaeJa or HerO are. He is like a tank in the desert away from any supply line. He is a competent player, one of the best TvT and TvP in the world but he doesn't show the spark that is the trademark of champion.

Besides that,, DH isn't really is field, he has to play during the night and he hates this kind of condition. IEM NY will be much more keen on him, and there is the WCS where he'll reach at least top 8 and secure a place to Blizzcon

ForGG's strength is in his build creation and execution, like Naniwa and Squirtle, whereas Taeja is more about standard macro play and decision-making. So day in day out he is more inconsistent but it only takes a few things to line up for him to win a major tournament I feel. If he puts in good preparation, faces mostly vP/vT, and especially someone knocks the S-class player out of his bracket, then he can do it. After winning the MSL, anything is possible

He can win a tournament but needs to attend more of them outside of WCS. The reason why people like Taeja and HerO are "bulldozers" are because they get so many opportunities to compete at these foriegn tournaments. He probably could take the DH Valencia tournament that happened earlier this year if he went. Outside of WCS he has only been to this recent DH and that UK masters tournament.

I would also say his strength comes with his mechanics and execution of his build orders. He doesn't really make anything new up like Naniwa/Squirtle do.

forgg is the kind of guy who can do only one build in a matchup, his opponent will know what is coming, and forgg will still destroy him

Well, he was more or less the innovator of hellion banshee TvZ, which was the dominate opening of an era in TvZ. In Hots, his TvP is unique, i don't know of any other pro Terran that goes marauder hellbat every game vs Protoss. And while he didn't create reactor expand (or did he? He did it in WOL before anyone else really did), his flavor of TvT mech mass hellions is something he's renown for. No, he doesn't utilize a massive variety of builds like MVP or squirtle, but he certainly is a very stylistic player who creates his own builds, or molds existing builds into something different.

He wasn't able to go to quite a few tournaments this year due to his visa taking a lot of time.
You also have to keep in mind that EG and TL have more money than Millenium (probably) and thus are able to send their players to Korea, Europe and America.

That's completely false. Millenium can send its players everywhere and ForGG's absence has little to do with budgeting. If anything Millenium is a bigger company than EG and TL combined as they employ 30+ person from players to journalists. But it doesn't mean they have an unrestricted budget either, just that they know what to do with an activity that loses money (esports)
