Oh god talk about taking what he wrote waaaaaaaaay too literal LOL

I think hes saying that it's highly possible that a young player (who might only be 10 years old right now, and at this moment may never have played BW/SC2) may one day be the best SC2 player in the world.
It sounds crazy, but that is basically the same story of Flash taking over the BW scene.

I don't think it sounds crazy at all, every good player essentially came out of nowhere at one point.

Yes, I know Flash's background story very well. And I did take that statement very literally because well, the way it was written did not make for a good argument. While I understand the intention, his way of getting it across was inefficient. Yes, there will be new players who will one day dominate the scene due to their dedication and hard work. Because that's what history has shown us time and time again.

It isn't crazy at all.

Was that really CJ Entus' Hydra playing ForGG?
I HIGHLY doubt it's the real BW Hydra, who's still on CJ Entus and appeared in Proleague a few days ago. I just can't see Hydra juggle BW proleague demands while also raping Korean GMs in SC2 at the same time, not even for a close-to-S-Class player.
|
Could someone please tell me why he hotkeys only 1 CC and has the other one bound to 9 or 0? TT Makes me sad he's playing the game like this and making it harder on himeslf.
And no, it was not the real hydra.

It looked like Leenock's style of play so it was probably a Leenock smurf.
Hydra is ranked #2 by KeSPA for recent performance such as winning an MSL. He's pretty close to S-class.

From watching his stream he is one of the cheesiest people I have ever seen :O
but my god
is
that
scary

greed is good
cheese is good too
|
He's especially brutal against zergs with his hellion openings into cloacked banshee into thors right when mutas arrive in his main, he's able to constantly apply pressure on zerg opponent

The funny thing is he needs like 20 drone kills otherwise he'll probably lose the game.

You need to kill drones when you do hellion into banshee openers?! no way!
It's a build to punish ppl that play so greedy, which most people do in the current metagame. It's not rocket science that you need to do damage to make it work aswell...

The point is you need to do a LOT of damage, but he ends up winning quite often anyway.

I don't consider him to be a cheeser, he just has an ULTRA AGGRESSIVE style that takes advantage of his micro and multi tasking. Look at his TVZ style. You might think that opening up reactor hellion into cloaked banshee as cheesy, but with this style, forgg never allows the zerg to establish an economy because he is always killing drones directly or indirectly by forcing a lot of lings or sniping queens which throws off inject timings.

Pretty sure (s)he was referring to all the proxy rax's, 1/1/1's, mass rax all ins etc that he does. They're pretty frequent xD
|
ForGG is so skilled that even if he is all-ining he is just actually playing a macro game because he is able to control the units perfectly
|
Quite skilled, but cheesy. Hellion into banshees opener followed by marine medivacs and tanks push that usually ends the game into 3 ads. ;-)
|
People are surprised by cheesy play? It's just ladder.
