EPTFrom what I've seen, his micro is really, really good, but his opponents have looked to be a canvas for the artist fOrGG to paint. July just... isn't that good any more, from the looks of his recent play. He definitely looks to be Code S material, without a doubt, from his play so far, but without any BW bias his play looks standard, but better. Not magical, like Fruitdealer did originally, or like MC in his first 2 wins, or MVP vs Leenock Game 2.

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. .... That's wishful thinking. Not even MVP can continuously dominate over players he's much, much better than. | ||

After seeing is BW play I can say multitasking is not his strength. "The way I play is to create a pattern where I have an advantage, and then crush my opponents with momentum. That way my opponent can’t play with 100% of his skill. That’s why I think mind-games are more important than skill." - iloveoov Its the reason he had success in BW and it is also why he stop being successful in BW. Strategic play is the overall superior play style. I don't think he will be more than a high level korean. | ||

He doesnt seem to suffer from a predetermined mindset of what each unit is capable of doing | ||

No offense to SC2 fans here, but he could keep his money that low in a game where macro was much harder, so it's not surprising. Nor is his micro considering the shitty AI BW has. | ||

I'm not trying to devalue Fin's wins but he hasn't had the hardest path to Code S and he hasn't faced anyone who can really test his merit. | ||

Specific prep + more time practicing with oGs. Earlier in the ESV, it seemed like a lot of his builds were less refined. Laddering isn't comparable to custom game practice. | ||

Like the op mentioned in the example of marines killing stuff for free even though they were on very low health, or how he utilizes his hellions in a much bolder way then most, but still in a controlled way. He doesnt seem to suffer from a predetermined mindset of what each unit is capable of doing Actually, I might be nitpicking but I DID get that "why didnt he do this" feel. Not spoilering here because if you come to a thread about fOrGG being amazing without having watched his most recent games then you deserve whatever spoilers you get: vs July, he had just done a ton of damage with the 2rax, and while he was microing quite well, he had >500 minerals for a substantial part of that engagement. I feel like it was REALLY well microed, but partly did too much damage because July played it badly, and partly because he didn't focus on his macro AT ALL. Like, he produced Marines but didn't make Depots or the CC during the fight. When he put down the CC, he'd been at >500 minerals for a while and probably could have got away with putting it down far quicker. And it looked like July's desperation Baneling bust caught him off guard, which was pretty surprising given how much damage he'd done and that... it was July. Still really good, but I'm not willing to give him quite the level of praise he has recieved in the thread. | ||
