I expect ForGG to win 3 GSLs in a row with no losses. He is capable of forcing mistakes out of his opponent through sheer multitask superiority. Once the first mistakes have been made, only the best and most seasoned veterans of the game will be able to hold together. Everyone else just crumbles, giving ForGG more and more advantages as he picks apart the mistakes as they grow exponentially. This is a guy that would crush MVP or NesTea easily through sheer micro. I'm not going to do a major writeup on him yet but I think you get my point.
Edit: Seriously, just look at his harrassment capabilities. He doesn't just fly one or two banshees around the mineral lines, lose them after killing 7 scvs, and then say "ok, I'm done with harrassment now." He harrasses all game, like a true professional. Once he has a small advantage he will win.

I sincerely hope this is 80% sarcasm. Though I expect ForGG to continue smashing nerds left and right I don't see him winning a gsl let alone 3 for at least another couple of seasons! His skill and potential are great but you need more then that to take down MVP in TvT. Right now he has done and impressive job of smashing though up and coming top tier/in a slump top tier players. I am really excited to see what he can bring next GSL against the best of the best!

He can win just by multitasking and harassing appropriately. It doesn't really matter if his unit composition isn't perfect. What matters is how continual his harassment is. I look forward to his first match with MVP. I expect him to win every single game, and if he doesn't it will come as a shock.
The only thing that troubled me was his multi-tasking. I feel like his micro against July in game 2 with the marines was more error on July's part than anything, but more importantly he was floating 500-600 minerals on 1 base during that whole time. Sure, if it's doing as much damage as it did more power to him but his transition was a little bit awkward. His game 1 was pretty fantastic, although I think the major flaw again was on July's part as you see him making 14 zerglings after his roach/ling bust was finished.
Exciting player nonetheless, looking forward to see how he does in the long run.

It's only sarcasm to someone who never watched sc1 and doesn't realize the potential of these a-team players.
i dont wanna just bandwagon, but really, his play is DEVASTATING. He just smirks after his games like it was the easiest thing in the world, then hurriedly leaves the studio. I can't wait to see him with a real challenge, I'm sure hel go far

Youre troubled by the multi tasking of a former Brood War champion? I can assure that if anything his multitasking is his strength not a weakness.

This would also be highlighted by his build in his first game against July and how effective his banshees against Polt were. He was micro'ing multiple places while building up an army/expanding. Multi-tasking is definitely not his weakness.
the way forgg plays is how sc2 should be played imo. hopefully that style keeps working. his style is using strong aggression to out-multitask his opponents. also strong aggression leads to more varied gameplay and favors the player that can adapte more readily as more variables come up instead of the usual 200/200 deathball fight. in most games, the best defense is a strong offense, which hopefully is the case in sc2.
