I think curious seems like a similar player, alot more macro strategy based player rather than micro. not saying he is that great or anything just from what ive seen he doesnt place the highest priority on micro
Savior's muta micro was legendary, dude.
Edit: Not too impressed by Sage today.

weird build by sage, not quite sure what he was trying to achieve with that, felt like he mixed too much tech and way too high gateway count for 2 base.
i feel like he needs to commit more to void rays if he opens up with such an early stargate, get 1 or 2 more void rays before pumping phoenix to actually try to deny bases and pick off queens, he just dosnt get much done with his phoenixes that early on. Also never utilized blink, he didnt really have any stalkers available due to the heavy emphasis on gas in the start.

Read it again.
@ Herry: Right, but Savior's muta micro was a standout aspect of his game. Kind of strange to mention his name after Oov, as if it was an implication that Savior's micro wasn't the best either (as that was the entire gist of your post). Sure, his strategic insight was second to none, but his micro was fantastic. There is no comparison between Savior and Curious. Savior was the complete package.
Anyways, Curious is playing well.

It's not his fault that he had huge clunky gorilla hands

"Curious is the smarter player"...
LOL...Artosis is going to have heart attack if he hears that.

Who is in for a FE with Stargate
Come on Sage!

Hello orb. You are a very good caster. Keep up the good work.

-orb- is quickly becoming one of my favorite casters. Really knowledgeable, all business and doesn't sound like a stoner.

Meh, sage had some cute interesting builds, but I don't really remember a memorable moment where he showed off some great reactionary decision making. It feels like his style could be deflected if played against a few more times, kind of like what happened in this series.
Idk, I can't really remember the games all that well except the first gstl game and the last one against scfou where he did the voidray contain. But there's a huge difference between someone like sage, and someone like nestea who plays the metagame as perfect as can be.

And then there's Flash who is amazing at everything.

Yeah, I am really fond of orb's casting. I kind of wish he would apply for a GSL Code A casting spot.

Oh, I agree. I'm not the biggest fan of Sage either. This is a guy who was named by Artosis last night during SOTG to be one of the top 5 players in the world (and top 5 most entertaining, which is understandable). I mean...I don't know how serious Artosis was when he made his list, but it was pretty hilarious. Twelve hours later, Bomber apparently replaced Puma as the top T in the world for him. 
Edit: That was a terrible decision to engage by Curious. + Great Muta switch.

who is this caster right now?

Lol yeah, some of the artosis hype can really hurt some players and create a lot of antifans. I think he's been taking it too far lately, but that's what happens with teamleagues I guess.

Artosis is one of the most fickle casters out there, I feel. XD
That was an entertaining base trade. Rofl.
