If he takes a base or the map like you suggesting he is going to be give thorzain an opening, however small. He was 4 base to thorzains 2 - 2.5. No need to take any more

Not really the map position favors select. But Thorzain should never have alowed Select to get tanks below his natural. So yea Select played well and did what the player positions invited

The point is to win.
Unless you make extra rules to promote more aggresive play, you can't fault what Goody is doing. If you don't like Goody's play, simply don't watch, there are plenty of other games on.
With regards to better players, well that's down to the players. If Goody really isn't that good of a player, why does he keep winning then? We're no where near the perfect player yet, and I'm not sure if we'll get one anytime soon. He'll win with poor strategies as long as the metagame allows. I don't believe he has the ability to become a top-level progamer by committing himself so heavily to one style because his handspeed limits him so heavily. Has he really won anything against the best there is? Yeah, if he proves me wrong, great, I look forward to his games. But I think it's more likely that his rote macro turtle style sees him fall off the scene completely. I dont believe you have clue what you are talking about.If you are saying that GoOdy is bad then what NA is? Because you have like Slush and incontrol that are hanging in MLG without winning a game. Slush is a very flexible player and has put up decent results in competition. Incontrol has struggled for a very long time. My point is that players are going to have to get better or they will be left behind by more talented players. I don't think Goody is a talented player given the way he has played for over a year. I don't know why this is difficult to understand.

Yeah, he doesn't seem too interested or prepared. In a recent interview he did say he didn't know Select was in his group until very recently, he didn't have time or even bother to prepare. Hate to say it, but I think he may lose this series.

well, he won it anyways quickly enough...but he was floating 2,5k when I was writing that....I always get mad when I see this. Maybe it's because my overall macro is terrible, but I hardly ever go above 1k even in lategame. Even if I'm just randomly spamming cannons/gateways, there's always something useful to do even with minerals.

You are extremely unfair in your assessment. Aside from say Naniwa and Huk, who has won against the best there is (Nestea, MVP)? Maybe DRG and Stephano in this competition, are you going to say the rest of the participants are terrible too?
You say Goody has played the same style over a year, yet he is still have great success with it, aside from TvP where meching is terrible. But that is probably going to change comes HoTS. If anything I think Goody will have more success in it.

Thats bull. He was going mech in TvT long before anyone else, and back then everyone was calling it "poor strategy". Mech is standard in TvT nowadays (bio is still the more standard i guess).
Your logic is flawed, if he is a bad player like you assume, and his strategies are poor, then he shouldnt be able to win at all. His mech style is strong and thats why he wins, but i agree that he isnt the best player.
