GoodFriend added color to the pro scene precisely because he was one of the best jobbers in the history of Starcraft. I mean... look at his list of memorable losses. You mentioned the Hallucination Recall on Parallel lines, the 1-hatch hydra/ling against Shark on New Cultivation, the schintillating fast tank push loss to July in the OSL finals... not to mention Death by Harassment to Rainbow, the Unusually Potent Mutalistsks of Yellow in OSL, and all the good stuff. By being a low personality, high efficiency gamer, GoodFriend became a memorable villian (in a different way than Savior is a villian) in the pro scene. Plus, I think it's unfair to call GoodFriend colorless. He was surely the master of the 2-fac (hmm... Iris?). He was the best at setting up contains since Gundam himself. Steve once said that GoodFriend was the player that terrified you when he was against your favorite player, and I totally agree with that. I guess I want him back so I can see him spectacularly lose again. Plus his career is slightly underrated. He is NOT one of the 1-fac/1-rax CC Terrans that have recently sprung up like weeds. (= GOODFRIEND IS NOT BIFROST) GoodFriend is actually an old school Terran who remembers the days before FD, before bunker rushes, before FE. So in a way, he has his own style. Consider him the Silver of Terran. And Iris has nothing to do with anything. Iris is actually more of an aggressive Xellos in my mind. Im so tired of all newcomers T___T | ||

GoodFriend should spend the time off in an improv class. That'd address many of the concerns (lack of personality, lack of innovative play) that some of you seem to have.  | ||

Ive always kinda liked GF if nothing else for his spectacular standardness.. Its like Midas a bit. He is just(at one time) so consistent and its scary to watch your favs go against him, but it also makes me root for him when he is up vs someone I dont like! | ||

 TheMarine was also boring but nice!!!!!i really hope true veterans will start performing well, progaming isn't the same without  Reach, XellOs, IntoTheRainBOw, Kingdom, Sync, Zeus,  Junwi, etc. its sure that bw is in a skill level higher than before and newcomers have been pushing some oldies out of the big leagues but hey, BoxeR-YellOw-Garimto rivalries and such were just too good  | ||

Alright, alright, he's gotten much better. I suppose I should have said my early opinion of Iris was a copy of GF. | ||
