O. L. What was the point of this? You enjoy being a dick just because? Why not compare it to 90% of the people streaming and say the exact same thing? Incontrol is a really nice guy and your post is just a stupid troll attempt. Geoff would probably make you look pretty bad too so yah... I guess being tough on the internet is really easy? Gj | ||

Watching Polt get ripped was predictable, Polt's always been a one dimensional player. | ||

Specifically, his micro... he's microing units better than anyone. Many terrans simply learn to split his marines for when banelings are coming, but ignore micro the rest of the time... but forGG is constantly microing units. If he's facing any hellions he'll spread units out a little bit, even non-light ones, to avoid AOE. He'll use the pickup-and-drop method with his medivac even if it'll only allow him to get one or two extra shots off. He really does all the little things right that almost no one else is doing consistently. And his crisis management is among the best I've seen. I'm waiting to see what kind of comeback potential he has, but no one has managed to get ahead of him in a game yet. | ||

A lot of BW progamers have weird capitals in their names. Too tedious to type out or even remember. | ||

Sc2 doesn't yet have as elaborate midgame timing attacks as BW, right now ForGG plays an ultraagressive style with constant harass, followed up by a strong push that usually wins him the game. edit: Also, his play is more coherent than we're used to seeing in Sc2, he always seems to have very specific game plans in mind and everything he does with his units is according to that plan. Very cool to see. well constant harras is 1 way to make your macro shine through. if you can keep making everything you need to make while theres fighting, and the other guy cant, you can just get a lot of free wins that way. idra could learn a lot from this guy :D and no idra dropping your entire army in his base then remaking it because its only roaches isnt "stretching his multitasking" :D | ||

Explain how you harass while macroing as a zerg with anything other than zerglings or hidden banes until you get mutas? I don't think harassing is the weakpoint in Idra's game. If he had banshees or reapers I'm sure he would use them sometimes too. | ||

(I am not saying it's unbalanced though, the last winrate-graph showed the different races quite close). | ||

What fin did, at least in his games where he didn't open with a cheese, was play an aggressive macro style. Fin is one of the few players I have ever seen force his opponent to make mistakes without going all in. Bomber being one of them. But very nice read! I'm actually re watching his GSL vods because of this post  | ||

There are some epic players in Starcraft 2 right now, but hopefully fOrGG's performance will encourage a lot of the more "meh" players to step up their game a little bit. | ||

Yah I play toss and I feel the same way  I think it was Dustin Browder who basically said Terran felt complete and the other two still needed work. | ||

Best player. QED The community's opinion is very fickle about who's the best player. | ||
