Dont get me wrong, im as hyped with Fin play as everyone on this thread. Just pointing out it's not like he swicthed to sc2 as unkown game where he didnt know anything about the meta-game (it will be like that for some BW pros when they switch). Fin play was amazing and his control was superb, even tho some people here are trying downplay it qualifing as completely standard. And the fact that i dislike watching TvTs (aside from boxer and nada) and i enjoyed that game that says a lot. | ||

In fact later in the game he rarely sniped a few banshees. Forgg's banshee control was insane and did so much subtle damage that reward him in the end. | ||

Sounds good actually. I bet forGG just installed SC2 on his PC before GSL today. Can we do that? Before every game he plays? "Wow BW pro he installed like 15 mins ago so sexy" | ||

If you compare 18 months ago MVP with 6 months ago ForGG, I would say MVP is better on BW. If you compare 18 months ago MVP with 18 months ago ForGG, maybe ForGG is better. | ||

I don't think he has ever faced banshees quite like that before. | ||

Kinda not a fair comparison to past players who failed to qualify. Qualifying itself is a HUGE feat no matter how many spots there are. So many good players struggled to make it. | ||

Say that again ? well the flair up in MvP's career came when he was in the MSLs and he took out both BeSt and Stork using a 2base timing push. Then he went ahead against Flash in the MSL and provided some epic games. Then he switched to SC2 then started dominating the sc2 scene. ForGG just gave semi-consistent results in proleague then just faded when the season went deep and he didn't have much chance to play and when he did, he'd often lose. Then he retires. Moments prior to their departure from the BW scene, I would say MvP was indeed better than ForGG. | ||

Shit, Polt almost came back in game two, but fucked up his first drop and then killed 30+ SCV's with his second. Everything was even until Polt let two banshees get 20+ worker kills and then sent marines two at a time to take them on or refused to set up more than 2 turrets to what was obviously more than a banshee opening into standard. Dw Fionn, I get you...though you're a Polt fanboy haha | ||

Strategically Forgg seems to be superior than other Terrans though, the last person I saw use Banshees like that in TvT was Jinro when he vs'd MKP on Xel'Naga Polt is probably the hardest at practice on TSL. He was #1 on KR ladder a day ago when he was laddering and has only dropped to 3rd due to not doing ladder. Forgg is really good and could easily be Code S champion by next tournament, but I wouldn't say he showed some new higher level today that we haven't seen before. If Polt builds a ton of turrets, then both games could have been completely different. Neither game got to go past two bases for both players because Forgg's banshees wrecked everything/Polt dropped inside Forgg's base. If Forgg doesn't destroy Polt with the banshee in the main in G2, Polt more than likely wins with his gigantic drop that killed every SCV at Forgg's natural. Forgg's macro wasn't that better when they were on even terms. Both had the same amount of SCV's and expansions. It only really tipped when Polt derped with the banshee defense. | ||

on the other hand, it was kind of lucky that he forced a CC cancel at the start...that certainly gave him a BO advantage. | ||
