Fin stands for fucking incredible nerchills. This guy (lets just call him forGG it's easier for the BW guys) is fucking scary good. Maybe maybe not MVP/Nestea level (fuck if I know how it will go) but still really fucking good.

What was the point of this? You enjoy being a dick just because? Why not compare it to 90% of the people streaming and say the exact same thing? Incontrol is a really nice guy and your post is just a stupid troll attempt. Geoff would probably make you look pretty bad too so yah... I guess being tough on the internet is really easy? Gj

It's scary how good Fin looked in some of his GSL games, it's like he's been practicing SC2 for longer than the current pros are, he looks very polished. Only complaint is he changed his name, forGG was so good! xD

BW players will plow through starcraft 2 players.

Watching Polt get ripped was predictable, Polt's always been a one dimensional player.

You can really see the difference in forGG's gameplay... he really does seem to be a level above most other players.

Specifically, his micro... he's microing units better than anyone. Many terrans simply learn to split his marines for when banelings are coming, but ignore micro the rest of the time... but forGG is constantly microing units. If he's facing any hellions he'll spread units out a little bit, even non-light ones, to avoid AOE. He'll use the pickup-and-drop method with his medivac even if it'll only allow him to get one or two extra shots off.

He really does all the little things right that almost no one else is doing consistently. And his crisis management is among the best I've seen.

I'm waiting to see what kind of comeback potential he has, but no one has managed to get ahead of him in a game yet.

You seriously nitpicking what is capitalized? :/

A lot of BW progamers have weird capitals in their names. Too tedious to type out or even remember.

uhh pretty sure other players split against all forms of aoe when possible... and from the four games I saw him play the one time he was in any sort of crisis he handled it quite poorly(July getting lings and such into his base) He lost a lot there and made it at least feasible July would win.

I'm not surprised at all that his BW success has transferred over. fOrGG was definitely on the verge of S-Class when he was playing well in brood war. He always had amazing macro and an impeccable sense of timing. The highest level BW players have incredible work ethics and manual dexterity and the point has been made over and over again but when a super high level player ala Flash or Jaedong or Bisu goes over to SC2 expect them to really start dominating people.

Is he living up to his time attacker nickname in SC2? I don't actually watch SC2 so I'm just curious how his style has changed from game to game.


I'd say he's living up to it as much as the game allows right now. Sc2 doesn't yet have as elaborate midgame timing attacks as BW, right now ForGG plays an ultraagressive style with constant harass, followed up by a strong push that usually wins him the game.

edit: Also, his play is more coherent than we're used to seeing in Sc2, he always seems to have very specific game plans in mind and everything he does with his units is according to that plan. Very cool to see.


well constant harras is 1 way to make your macro shine through. if you can keep making everything you need to make while theres fighting, and the other guy cant, you can just get a lot of free wins that way.

idra could learn a lot from this guy :D and no idra dropping your entire army in his base then remaking it because its only roaches isnt "stretching his multitasking" :D

you realize zerg has less ways to harass that are effective. Explain how you harass while macroing as a zerg with anything other than zerglings or hidden banes until you get mutas? I don't think harassing is the weakpoint in Idra's game. If he had banshees or reapers I'm sure he would use them sometimes too.

This is basically true for Protoss as well. It's why I like the design of the Terran units better that both Zerg and Protoss. (I am not saying it's unbalanced though, the last winrate-graph showed the different races quite close).

Has any replays of fOrGG been released? Would love to watch / study his play but I'm stuck on limited crappy mobile broadband so I've got no ability to watch vods / streams.

Any links would be appreciated.

What fin did, at least in his games where he didn't open with a cheese, was play an aggressive macro style. Fin is one of the few players I have ever seen force his opponent to make mistakes without going all in.


Bomber being one of them.

But very nice read! I'm actually re watching his GSL vods because of this post

The crazy thing about this is that fOrGG's biggest accomplishment since his single Brood War tournament win in 2008 was to get a Ro8 in the OSL. That's pretty impressive, but he is by no means a player who was tearing up the Brood War scene recently. It would be really exciting if guys like Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, Jangbi, Fantasy or any of the other tip-top level players switched.

There are some epic players in Starcraft 2 right now, but hopefully fOrGG's performance will encourage a lot of the more "meh" players to step up their game a little bit.

Yah I play toss and I feel the same way I think it was Dustin Browder who basically said Terran felt complete and the other two still needed work.

Holly shit. He beat 3 platers 2:0.
Best player.

The community's opinion is very fickle about who's the best player.
