This guy's play style is sure to be loved in LR threads. Cheesy timing attacker takes up SC2 Terran. Hmmmm.... I totally agree. I can totally see fOrGG making a variation of 1-1-1 (or other) super refined build and crushing everyone left and right with it (much like his famous 2fac-against-everyone in BW). | ||

 Sea,  Kal, Flash and  Jaedong, all incredibly strong players at the time and candidates to take the tournament themselves. ForGG was never on the same level before or after that, but the MSL victory was no fluke at all. For a short time he was the strongest player in the world, with unparalleled timing attacks and macro like a machine.Here's July 2008's Power Rank text by FakeSteve: Does this look odd to you? It sure looks odd to me. Odd doesn't even begin to cover the unreal boost in play fOrGG showed in July. Results are all well and good (and with an MSL win, I'm sure no one will disagree that he's got 'em in spades), but the real matter here is that no one played better StarCraft in July than fOrGG. Breaking out of his mould in a big way, fOrGG showed the world he's capable of so much more than making thirty thousand units and throwing them away. His games were dynamic, explosive, and most importantly, they were fucking brilliant StarCraft. Gotta give credit where it's due, there isn't a player in the world that came anywhere near fOrGG in July. | ||

He changed his name to Never, but fOrGG just stuck around on TL because it was what everyone was used to. (Same with free -> pretty, baby -> ty, sun -> rain, etc) | ||

I hope he does and that other sicko's will switch to a pretty exploitable market because of him, greatly boosting the overall skill in sc2. Top tier? Not really, ForGG was, when he retired, maybe a top 15ish terran. He is clearly a step and a leap above every other former BW player who has swapped over in relative BW skill (not success). | ||

SC2 mechanics are so much easier than bw's clunky user interface, that the top pros can macro the same amount of units early game so he shouldn't be able to overwhelm anyone in army size just due to macro. But Bomber disagrees by pumping 12 marines at a time | ||
