I don't hate Goody; pure mech play is my favorite tech path when playing Terran. But constantly leaving himself open to counter-attacks in Game 3? One building would have foiled it, and it never happened. If you move out to make a contain with mech, it's common sense to protect your expansions since you can't bounce back and forth between bases. He plays nothing like Rain or Choya... | ||

As I can see by this thread alone, more people blame lag than anything else for the reasons favorites lost. And they were clear favorites according to LB. Nestea is the best Zerg in the world. MVP is considered the best Terran. They lost. Skill gap is smaller than perceived. END OF STORY. | ||

It seems that when the right timing is hit, mech can actually have an SC1 like quality (game 3), where a small army can actually do something... Surprised by the results but if we get more goody TvZ from it, Im not too disappointed. I have had to revise my opinion of goody lately (started with his games vs Dimaga a couple of weeks back in the finals of some tournament). Are you going to join up with Goody and become the second master of METAL of Europe ? Maybe catch some zergs in a triangle and choke them out with the applied pressure of tank shells and thor munitions ? Is it time to flying scissor heel hook a Protoss and twist until he begs to be roasted by blue flames? | ||

That's what I'm saying  that foreign players = koreans, or getting very close in SC2.If "all" foreign players could afford to go to Korea I would bet that Koreans would barely hold half of the code A spots, if that. | ||

I have had to revise my opinion of goody lately (started with his games vs Dimaga a couple of weeks back in the finals of some tournament). Really? I'm actually feeling the opposite about the hope for SC2 watching those games. I mean you got a 1base cheese beating one of the best zerg's, not much can be said about that. But the fact that turtling on 2 bases and predictably pushing mech was so difficult for one of the best zerg's to beat is kinda sad in my opinion. I'd much prefer to see your skilled marine multipronged attacks and excellent control at least. | ||

Unfortunately, Goody's mechanics are truly sub-par, barely diamond league level if you ask me (he spent most of game 3 supply blocked at 110 with units queue'd), but he is truly at the top of terrans in terms of decision making. As many of the pros have said, StarCraft 2 is a much less mechanically based game, and allows for strategy to beat out mechanics. Goody is solid proof of that statement, as he has shown through his results (like it or not, qualifying alone for the TSL counts as some results- plus check his other tournaments) that his decision making beats out the better mechanics of other players. + Show Spoiler + and conversely, NesTea threw the series away with BAD decision making I'd love to see the accepted best players in the world adapt to try his style.

I don't remember saying that in my post, Goody barely won a best of 3 series against a zerg player facing serious lag as shown by the other Korean matches, I'm assuming he must have as well. And he won because nestea made some huge blunders, not some awesome great play. He meched out and sent some auto repairing scvs with his army, got lucky nestea had zero lings in the third game at a xel naga and lost 15 drones for nothing. Causing him to barely win the game. | ||

Skill gap can't be accurately measured by these matches as multiple koreans have stated that they went/plan to go less micro intesive builds just cause of the latency. NOT END OF STORY. | ||
