Not sure what you mean by

Why Fin looks like one of the best in sc2 already


fOrGG has been playing SC2 for about 8 months already, it's not like he switched over yesterday. So yes hes looking good...but thats to be expected.

Is there any way we can send a message to Fin and ask him to go back to ForGG? It's getting confusing.

I'm in the same boat as you OP. I don't have any BW bias, but I have been watching the new Proleague and the previous '11 OSL. Let me tell you, there are so many players that do incredible shit, it's just f-ing amazing. If the current BW stars do switch, I'd be extremely excited (though I'd also feel bad for the BW guys because it would really mean that BW is dead). ForGG is showing us the potential of SC2, but only for terran. Imagine what warp prism harass would be like with Bisu at the helm or mutas in the hands of Jaedong. I honestly think they would change the SC2 landscape and I wouldn't have it any other way. Deathball vs Deathball sucks death-balls.

I hope he'll grow better and better and stop doing timing attacks every game (yeah, i know he's known for that^^), if not, strong players will figure out his playstyle and know how to scout what he's doing and than proceed to hardcounter it. He's kind of "new" for almost every player so...
I'm not saying that he's not as good as he seems to be, he's really really strong but i just hope he'll not follow the path so many good players followed before falling into darkness.

I think being a former BW pro gives him a lot of flexibility and creativity, he's really refreshing to watch. I'm a fan already

PS: nice write up, good job OP

Lol he hasn't started doing timing attacks yet...
And even if tvt != tvz, if Mvp can't beat Leenock now he doesn't have that much of a chance against fOrGG

he has so far only show mid game and early fights, he has yet to face off the real challenge that Terran has late game


Why is he overrated? He crushed his opponents before they even got to late game. What does that say about his skill?

He's this hyped because he is the best BW pro to switch. Look at MVP, the second best (now) to switch and he's dominating the scene pretty hard.

most of his opponents didnt last till late game, sage game 2, was good macro game and forgg didnt float higher than 400 mineral WHOLE game, including time when he got DT dropped, 3base vs 3base game

You're assuming, of course, that fOrGG can beat Leenock, and that even beating Leenock means he can beat MVP. If that's how it worked then Destiny's the best in the world, because he beat Leenock ages ago. That's just silly.

the weirdest thing is, I have no clue how he god this good. in the esv weekly, he didn't look nearly as awesome as he did in the gsl. must be the incredible ability to focus on a single opponent and practise hardcore for the upcoming set?

it says he is good at playing early and mid games like plenty of Terran capable of doing it out there?

Personally I believe people are not bind by their past success or failure, and they can improve. Nestea was a terrible player in BW, look how he's doing now

he has beaten sage, polt, and july... Sure good players, but people are blowing this out of proportion as if they are really top tier players in the first place

People don't understand. ForGG is the best one to switch now.

Before this there wasn't a close to good ex-bw progamer playing SC2. Nada, Nestea and Boxer, they were all nothing.

I just said that Mvp can't play to his best lately and thus he probably won't stop fOrGG in his royal road.

By best one to switch now, I hope you mean the one in best form when he switched. Because I'm fairly certain we've already had a few BW banjos in SC2 for a while.

Forgg has walked over some really good opponents with ease, so we can say that at the very least his performance thus far has met the hype.

Man... people are still underestimating BW pros. The only thing that forgg hasn't shown us yet is how far his game sense has come. If you want to see how good his multitasking, micro, and macro are then all you have to do is watch him play BW. He's already proven himself in that regard. In terms of mechanical talent he has it, and he's better than just about everyone else, period.

MVP has the best game sense and strategical mind of any sc2 player right now, but that means forgg can learn from MVP as well. Everything else just comes naturally from playing the game more and more.

The series was 3-2, give me a break. Watch game 2 and then tell me MVP is not in shape.

also like to point out that in game 2 versus July he sacrificed about 6 scv's to ensure that his main base was walled off before the lings got in. actually a big deal as he didn't have his hellions out yet and the lings could have done big damage as well as see the double factory tech lab. not saying this is anything revolutionary but it was incredible decision making in a very stressful moment. Not completely sold yet as he has not played any of the top top pros yet.

You're saying that because he couldn't beat Leenock, he can't beat fOrGG. Silliest jump in logic I've seen yet. What does not being able to beat arguably the most in form zerg in the world at the moment have to do with beating a new-to-the-scene terran? It's a completely different match up.
