He's been in the top of the ladder for several months and just now has had some "public" success. His play is impressive, but its not like he magicly became amazing. He has been amazing for quite some time.



He just annihilated one of the most talented Protoss prospects, a GSL Super Tournament winner, and a two time finalist and former BW Champion.



If you don't describe that as magical, please, do tell me what it is.

He beat Sage who has done very little, Polt who is quickly trending downward, and July who as Artosis has said has not been playing well. Lets not exaggerate his accomplishments.

His play has been stellar and he looks great, but magical? Come on. People throw superlatives too freely. If he moves to code "S", beats MVP, Nestea, and jakji, wins GSL - then it's magical. Making it to code 'S' isn't magical.

Magical is Kurt Gibson's game winning walk off home run, or Boise State beating Oklahoma in a bowl game, Joe Namath walking off in victory after Superbowl 3. That's magical, not making it to code 'S'.


I agree. It's impressive, but we really need to see more. He certainly has the capability to be one of the best, but there are just so many talented players in code a/s that are rising up as well.

Jesus christ can you idiots watch the games before you post. In g2 vs Sage he was constantly up in supply and had lower mineral/gas rates the entire game, even well being harassed in two different spots. He's shown this is all of the others games he's played too.

People like you piss me off because you think aggression is gimmicky. Honestly. Wish I could curse more at you but I'm trying no tto get banned

Well, his uncanny ability to somehow stay in Code S for the longest time is certainly magical.

Too early to tell. He needs to get matched up vs one of the big names and now when he got Code S I hope we can see him vs MVP, MC, Nestea, Leenock or anyone of that caliber

Doubting the macro/multitasking capabilities of a bw a-team player hahaha obvious troll is obvious. He's not gimmicky, he's aggressive. That's how the game is supposed to be played. Harassment continuously throughout the game on multiple fronts, while expanding and macroing up a main force that goes in for the kill. I have yet to see this guy 1 base yet. Every game he plays he expands behind his aggression you know why? because that's how the game is meant to be played.

True, lets put it this way!

If Fin was a nonamer, Would people still say that his skill is impressive and that he is one of the best terrans?

He's fuckin great but all these 'best micro ever', 'revolutionary style' comments are only there because of his heritage.

Yes...? If a no name player stomped his way to Code S with a series of 2-0 wins over the likes of Polt and July you bet your ass that TL would be blowing up with talk of the next great bonjwa.

And honestly, did anyone really expect otherwise? He is obviously a tier above most of the "pro" gamers out there currently.

Should not have said no-namer but lets say that TSL_Heart did what ForGG did. Would we still see threads about how amazing he is? Prob, but not as much as it is now. "He's the next bonjwa, bla bla". But now ForGG player BW and was fairly successful in it and cause of that people hype his game up so so much

This...although "Bonjwa" and "SC2" still don't register as being compatible terms in my brain.

ForGG is the real shit, and having that sort of mechanical skill coming over is VERY good for SC2. It's incredible how you see some things in GSL games like Terrans leaving depots down, or Zergs detonating the wrong banelings or missing landmines entirely, and these guys are currently considered among the best in the world.

Far be it from me to speak for Jinro, but I think most of what he wants to say about fOrGG is right there in his comment: That fOrGG is sick good, but that most of the hype surrounding him has to do more with the fact that he's the biggest profile name to switch from BW than it has to do with his actual skill.

This might be true but, to be fair, Sage was a nonamer that was called "most inteligent player ever" and "revolutionary style" before, and that was after 3 gstl games. People get hyped up when they see cool new things in pro SC2 that show the game's pontential (like Sage's constant scouting and mind games, or MKP micro against baneling, or, currently, forGG clean agressivenes), it's not necessarily because of heritage.

Why was this thread not closed immediately?!? It ruined the results fo the games and has no spoilers. I literally waited in agony for this match up just to have it spoiled from the title.

edit: kinda ruined my bday some :'(

Just to be on topic: ForGG is awesome.

I agree. Even when I see the brackets and see Fin, I think ForGG. He should change his name back :D. I bet he'll be picked in the last round of selections for code S next season.


I think MC will pick him before that.
