I do accept that my judgment could be clouded by my blatant Sage fanboyism though.
I'm religiously maintaining my stance that ForGG plays just like 15 other Terrans.
Does seem to be a minority viewpoint though apparently.
Do you really think that MVP/MKP etc. have displayed that kind of micro? MKPs marine micro vs banelings was one thing, but the way forgg dodged storms and kited was simply unparalleled.
The way he overstimmed was cool too =/
But yes, in general his micro was at a high level. And yes, I have seen MKP display just as good micro. And no, I'm not a MKP fan =/
I'll quote this when forgg wins code s next season.
I'll quote this when he loses next round cause you jinxed him out.
Plexa isn't Fionn. He doesn't jinx
True. But all I need is for Asha' to say that forgg loses next round rofl.

No it wasn't unparalleled LOL
There's been many games by the likes of PuMa, Thorzain and Bomber where they have displayed similiar and even better feats of micro, please don't get too excited off this series, his micro was mediocre in g1.
The hyperbole after that game is ridiculous. We've seen a million other terrans stutter step with marauders and not get hit by storms. Seems like people just convinced themselves that Forgg played like a god. Hell, his play looked exactly like Select usually does against protoss. I'm sure He's very very good, but those games didn't show anything special AT ALL.

Based on his TvP in one televised match of Sc2 and his BW background? Seems a little premature to me, but it wouldn't be the least surprising thing. Also on your micro comment I've seen MKP, Bomber, Polt and probably more kite and dodge storms like that all game long.

Don't know why you would quote this. So you can say "Someone said MKP had micro comparable to ForGG, what a fool"?
Quote someone who said he was below average. To me he's above average, below perfect. Of course, we've only seen one matchup haven't we?
Fuck sake, go watch the Korean weeklies, most people have seem him more than once in tournament games.. he's proven hes really good through his qualification, 5 accounts at the top of the Korean ladder, and his ESV showings.
