I usually let My_Digital_Toss put these up, but I thought this was a good video that showed a side of progaming that we usually don't get to see.

This is the Pringles MSL semi-finals between Savior and Midas.

Even if you don't understand Korean, try to bear through the commentary and watch until the end.

Click Here

Savior wins, looks relieved and walks out.

Midas can't quite come to terms with the close loss. At first, his expression shows it all. Then he opens the replay of game 4 on 815. Before that game, Midas was up 2-1. He seemed to have the upper hand when Savior harrassed him to death, cutting off his mining. Midas eventually lost that game. The commentators say:

Caster: He's watching a replay... of the game on 815 III?
Commentator 1: Yes. That's the game he should have won. That's the game he should have won. Midas knows it too. It's no use looking at the replay now, but because Midas was so close to getting to the first Finals of his life, he can't help but look at the match again.

Then they talk about how it would have been Midas' first finals, and how the loss is hard to swallow.

The final shot, most of the fans have left, Savior has left, the arena is pretty much empty... and Midas is sitting alone staring at the score screen. Even the commentators can't find the right words for that image.
returns upon momentous occasions.

Feel a bit bad for the guy, but atleast that tear in his eye didn't manage to roll down his face.

Pussy. He cried at WCG that one year didn't he?

Is that game up on trackers? The tracker uploaders have been slacking in my opinion.

I dl'ed the games from playsc, and this clip was included, so i dont have to dl to see what you are talking about =(.

> kohai: of course it's on the tracker. In fact 6 pple are kind enough to still seed it.

I've seen that in the VOD, Midas watching his 815 game after losing

Does anyone know what savior said right after he won? Looks like he muttered a word

Well, I know Midas will be a great user some day.
Honestly, who doesn't see the potential in Midas? All he has done is improve lately.

I personally think that he would have won against any zerg but Savior that day. His TvZ has improved tremendously since he joined T1. It's just that Savior is a fucking ZvT monster (Midas could have won 3-1 though, with one or two better decisions during the 815 game... it was so close).

His only problem is his nervousness imho (although for some reason, he looks far more self-confident in proleague, which is confirmed by his amazing record).

Poor Midas...one my favorite players. I really want him and Iris to make it big, I've liked them from the start but they always get pulled up just short

probably b/c he knows his teammates have his back, even if he does his best but still loses. There's less pressure for one individual player in proleague, for each game (unless it's facing elimination of course =P but you get the jist of it i'm sure).

Midas is awesome. He's a player with great potencial, this was one of his best perfomances all along his ProGamers career. Someday we will see Midas raising a MSL or OSL cup i know .
Gogo Midas!

btw, I wouldn't mind seeing Midas take a OSL, I would love to see him Smiling for ONCE! .

Awwwh, man I just watched the video, he looked really really sad, maybe SKT1 will get rid of him or something?, I dunno, but something was up . He's a star in the making tho, he has a lot of potential, in the upcoming leagues he will be wining his first! .

It'll be a big mistake for T1 to get rid of Midas, he's a good proleague ace

And no, he's sad because he lost a game that he "should have won," read the first post
