ForGG <Newkirk Precinct TE> VortiX ForGG goes for a pressure build on two bases without a third CC. VortiX defends successfully with ling/baneling while teching to mutas. ForGG is unprepared for the mutas and gets harassed as he takes a third. He tries to attack again, but VortiX successfully defends. With mutas over his production line uncontested, he goes for a final attack adding in hellbats, but VortiX defends easily.
ForGG <Bel'Shir Vestige> VortiX ForGG gets fast 3CCs this time and game is pretty standard with ForGG taking the 10 o'clock 3rd base. He manages to snipe the 4th base at the 8 o'clock of VortiX immediately after it goes up. VortiX harasses with mutas again, but ForGG is more prepared this time with turrets. A back and forth game with army trades with both players not splitting well so widow mines and banelings are effective. VortiX is trying to get a 4th/5th base and ForGG is just staying on 3 bases with constant pressure. VortiX loses all his mutas when it got trapped between the main and the third. ForGG keeps on pressuring the 4th at the 8 o'clock position and VortiX runs out of steam and taps out when it was clear he was going to lose the base.
ForGG <Neo Planet S> VortiX ForGG uses a similar build to game one where he goes for production instead of a 3rd CC. VortiX going for a roach/baneling bust with a third hatch at the 9 o'clock. ForGG's hellions finds the roaches on the way so he has some time to prepare, but VortiX still breaks through. ForGG manages to hold with an SCV pull and VortiX goes back to droning with his worker lead. ForGG counters and almost breaks the natural, but VortiX just manages to have enough to defend even with no baneling speed. ForGG goes for a final attack but fails so he gg's.
Grubby <Neo Planet S> Bunny Bunny spawns at the 7 o'clock and goes for a reaper expand with CC on the high ground. Grubby at the 1 o'clock goes for gateway expand followed by a stargate. Bunny tries to pressure with marine/widow mine and Grubby defends really easily and gets a supply lead after Bunny loses everything. Bunny sits back and gets a third CC while Grubby techs to chargelot/archon and gets 8 gateways. Bunny pressures again as he takes his third. Grubby defends but not well enough to counter for the win so he starts his own third. Bunny gets ghosts and manages to take out Grubby's third and natural by splitting his forces. Grubby gg's when Bunny's forces at his natural goes up to his main.
Grubby <Bel'Shir Vestige> Bunny Grubby spawns at the 11 o'clock position while Bunny spawns at the 5 o'clock position. Standard game with similar fast expand openings, but Grubby gets a robotics instead. Grubby goes for a two base immortal push with 3 gates, but Bunny's marine/widow mine pressure spots it very early. Bunny mismanages the repair (ran out of money) and loses his natural and Grubby keeps pushing up the ramp until Bunny gg's.
Grubby <Newkirk Precinct TE> Bunny Grubby spawns at the 5 o'clock position and opens the same as game 1 with stargate. Bunny spawns at the 7 o'clock with a CC first at the low ground. Grubby gets an oracle and gets a few SCVs. He follows it up with a robotics for colossus and double upgrade. Bunny pressures with some bio before the first colossus. Grubby manages to defend but loses the colossus. Bunny keeps pressuring, but the gateway units are enough to defend with the one oracle until another colossus came out. Despite being ahead, Bunny sits back on his three bases and only goes out to snipe Grubby's third base. Bunny maxes out and goes for an attack and takes out Grubby's third, but loses a lot of units to storms and colossi. Grubby is patiently defending and manages to take out Bunny's army with some great storms. He has a supply lead, but still doesn't have enough to confidently attack into Bunny. Grubby constantly harasses with warp prisms at the main and is doing a lot of damage adding in DTs. The damage is too much and Bunny gg's with no major engagement.
VortiX <Star Station> Grubby Grubby spawns at the 1 o'clock position with a gateway expand and delayed second gas. VortiX spawns at the 7 o'clock position with a fast expand to a quick third. Grubby gets a robo and harasses with a sentry drop. VortiX spots it early and defends easily. Grubby takes his 3rd. VortiX techs to a roach/hydra/viper composition while he takes his 4th at the 6 o'clock. Grubby gets templar archives and takes a hidden 4th at the 5 o'oclock main base. VortiX mismicroes and loses 2 of his 3 vipers but gets all of Grubby's colossi. VortiX tries to pressure the third, but Grubby defends easily and manages to snipe the 4th base at the same time with some zealots in a warp prism. VortiX switches to ultras and pushes Grubby's army out of the middle of the map. Grubby pulls back to his third and defends successfully while harassing VortiX's third with more zealots. Grubby has his 5th base up at the 3 o'clock while VortiX tries to get his own 5th at the 9 o'clock., but is denied by some zealots. VortiX attacks Grubby's 5th, but loses his entire army doing no real damage. Grubby snipes the 3rd and the 4th with some DTs. VortiX goes for another push at Grubby's 5th and manages to break through. VortiX keeps rolling and takes out the 3rd. Grubby is down to the hidden base at a 40 supply deficit while VortiX is trying to reestablish his 6 o'clock 4th and his 3rd base. VortiX keeps pushing Grubby's natural but can't break him. Grubby pushes out but VortiX's army is too much and finally breaks the natural. Grubby gg's.
VortiX <Bel'Shir Vestige> Grubby Grubby spawns in the 11 o'clock position with a forge on the natural. VortiX spawns at the 5 o'clock position with a hatch first. Grubby goes for a cannon rush and VortiX tries to defend with spine crawlers. Grubby commits with more cannons and takes out the hatchery. VortiX tries to counter with lings but Grubby walls off in time and VortiX is going for a baneling bust. First bust gets through with a few speedlings into Grubby's main. VortiX attempts a second bust on the new wall-off and is successful with a few lings in the main once again but Grubby creates another wall. A final bust for VortiX doesn't make it through and he gg's.
VortiX <Neo Planet S> Grubby Grubby spawns at the 1 o'clock position with a standard gateway expand. VortiX spawns at the 7 o'clock position and also opening standard. So much for standard, Grubby goes for a HuK YOLO with +1 attack and 6 gates. VortiX manages to defend and Grubby is getting a dark shrine while behind. VortiX just counters with roach/ling and Grubby is unable to hold.
ForGG <Bel'Shir Vestige> Bunny Bunny spawns at the 10 o'clock position and ForGG spawns at the 5 o'clock position. Bunny opens with cloaked banshees while ForGG goes for rax, cc, fact with reactor. Cloaked banshee only kills one marine and forces one scan. ForGG gets a lot of hellions and spots Bunny's 1-1-1 push with banshee, raven, tank and marines. ForGG defends with a cloaked banshee. Bunny keeps sending in cloaked banshees to try and harass while he gets his own (very behind) natural. ForGG makes more hellions with viking, banshee, and raven against Bunny's tank, marine, banshee. ForGG wipes Bunny's push and goes for a counterattack. Bunny doesn't have enough and gg's.
ForGG <Star Station> Bunny Bunny spawns at the 8 o'clock position and opens with reactored reapers to a CC on the lowground. ForGG spawns at the 2 o'clock position and opens with reactored marines and CC on the highground. Bunny's reapers accomplished nothing and ForGG goes for a push with medivacs. Bunny can't defend and gg's.
Grubby <Neo Planet S> ForGG Grubby spawns in the 7 o'clock position and opens standard. ForGG spawns in the 1 o'clock position and opens with a quick third CC. Very passive game with Grubby teching to colossus and ForGG teching towards standard bio play. Both players trying to establish their thirds, but Grubby focused too much on a drop and was unable to defend his third. Behind in every way, Grubby pushes towards ForGG's third and gets a lift before recalling. ForGG attacks with a max army and crushes Grubby's army. Grubby gg's.
Grubby <Bel'Shir Vestige> ForGG Grubby spawns in the 10 o'clock position. ForGG spawns in 5 o'clock position. Both opening the same way with ForGG going for the same greedy 3rd CC. Grubby trying to punish with an immortal bust. ForGG preparing with 6 bunkers. Grubby can't break it, so he tries to elevator with 2 sentries and an immortal. Does a bit of damage and gets a cancel on stimpack. Grubby gets one colossus with thermal lance and breaks the natural. ForGG doesn't have enough and gg's.
Grubby <Newkirk Precinct TE> ForGG ForGG spawns at the 7 o'clock position. Grubby spawns at the 5 o'clock position. Standard build for ForGG this time with 3 rax. Grubby also opens standard expand followed by a stargate. Grubby tries to harass with an oracle, but doesn't accomplish much. Grubby gets a third at the 3 o'clock position and techs to templars. Grubby sets himself ready for a strong push with 3 bases, but a widow mine drop ruins his plans and he goes for upgrades and back to probes. ForGG goes for hellbat production to counter the zealot/storm. Grubby pushes before there are enough hellbats and storms ForGG's army to death. ForGG eventually holds, but Grubby does a lot of damage. Grubby pulls back to wait for his colossus and pushes once more to finally get the gg from ForGG.

Gogo ForGG ! Even if he's in Korea, his level is good enough to beat Grubby and Bunny. About VortiX I don't know, that's why I can see him get the first place.

Have we seen him without hellbats? IIRC he likes his aggression, but not sure if it's always hellbats or not.

Was that the time he made like 20 hellions and killed him on a counterattack on two base?

Yeah but so did Forgg :D so sloppy on starting those 2-2.

And he's still up half an upgrade. I'm surprised ForGG's still up in supply.
EDIT: 13 marines at a time, with KR --> EU lag. Hmm...

You can really see how the lag is hurting ForGGs micro, Vortix wouldnt have held his third if they had the same latency. But ofc no1 is forcing forGG to play on EU either

Besides living in Europe ? He's unfortunately stuck in Korea because of French administration slowness but he has been in France for over a year now.

He needed marines to pressure vortix.
He was ahead. He didn't need to pressure.
Except he was behind so he did the right thing. If he didn't force so many banelings the muta flock would overpower turrets anyway. The only other way was staying in base and hoping vortix would mess up.

Hmm.. you always need to pressure, zerg can catch up very fast. Vortix saved his third and had 4th in construction. One more round of drones to saturate that 4th and zerg is again ahead.

Vortix also has bad micro. I remember his games from IEM last year where Tasteless talk about him being the strongest BL pusher (what does that mean anyway) only to lose 2 broodlords to missle turrets by Mvp's forth base at Ohana.

every player has to be "the best" at something. have you still not understood how Tasteless works?
alright Artosis, ForGG might be the best player when it comes to making hellbats and dropping them into people's bases we've ever seen. maybe apart from Bomber and Innovation, but i think ForGG might still be better than them.

I always thought ForGG had Code S level potential. I wonder how he would do in a kespa team. He maybe wasn't good enough for BW but he could excel in Sc2

He won an MSL, saying he was pretty good is an understatement. And in a very dominating fashion, against Jaedong, of all people.
sorry but he never won an osl...
...but he did win an MSL which still makes him a top notch player.

I think people forget that nani played from Korea because it ruins the idea that the only reason the Koreans aren't winning 100% of their matches is because of lag

Come on Grubby you have to win this and make it out of the group. The past week was hard enough for me seeing my fav PL team drop out, favourite players all out of osl16/32 Dimaga and TLO out in EU as well.

On July 17 2013 01:56 Zheryn wrote: The lag from korea is brutal lol.

Not really comparable. Naniwa didn't play a single macro game in that series.
no, he only played micro intensive games, indeed
Hmm. Micro "intensive" in my opinion is micro that requires fast and precise mouse actions like marine splitting. Take that immortal bust for example. Droping forcefields requires accuracy but you cant really call it micro intensive. Sure lag could be a problem even with ff if he had zerglings running in so he reacted late but all he really did was drop forcefields around bunkers after Lucifron's workers already got back to mining. I dont see how lag would be an issue in such situation.
Not to mention that not scouting the build is at least 50% of making such build work.In macro game you need to outplay your opponent in a much longer match
Also, macro games usually last longer so the chance of making a critical micro mistake is higher than in a game that ends in 7-8 minutes.
edit: if he did something like blink stalker all in that requires a lot of blink micro, you would have a point, but his builds were much easier to execute than play a straight up macro game

Nice play from Grubby and he got a bit lucky with Bunny running out of money to repair the bunker, but ... 20 scv's repairing a bunker should come at some cost

Not sure it would be enough with 2 immortals. They have very good dps against bunkers, not to mention other units Grubby had.
I am thinking about that drop that Bunny did at the same time with Grubby's attack. Was it right decision? As far as i know, if you defend this push you will win after anyway. So is there a point do try counter harass Protoss and not have units to defend at home?

Interesting there was 12 toss, 10 Terran, 10 Zerg in RO32. If vortix and a Terran advance today and sortOf and happy advance tomorrow then there'll be 6 toss, 5 Terran, 5 Zerg, and damn near perfect racial balance.
Suddenly I get the feeling that we won't see Grubby put up any great results in SC2, if this is his form after what sounds like quite a lot of dedicated time.

Apollo made Grubby's training sound a lot more intense than it probably was. "Turned off his stream for 5 or 6 days". lol. Pros do whatever Grubby was doing every single day, not just 5 or 6 days prior to a tournament.

I didn't follow grubby back in wc3, but recently discovered he was bm in it. It's funny to see now because the grubby today is such a mannered guy, so glad to see he matured and grew out of it.

If bunny had some decent ghosts control, he wouldn't be in a losing position. He had a decent TvT a while back. I fear he might actually knock out forgg.

Lol, ok I am over it since it never bothered me in the first place since I only discovered that recently. Grubby is proof that bm players can mature and change with age, while others like naniwa and idra never mature with age.

I recently switched from Protoss to Terran (and having much more fun because of it). I watch a game like that and it makes me want to switch back to toss, then I remember the frustration that comes with the race >.<

That game actually highlighted the difference in skill between Korean and foreign terrans better than most games. No good korean terran would have run their whole army up that ramp into the third. Not a single one.

I feel as if it was the theory that most plats understand, but you're right, very few players can do what Grubby could perform.
Evidence? I've played against some Protosses in Platinum (WHY?! I'M A SILVER) before and they won the games (because I'm actually IN silver.. never play 1v1's though) but they certainly didn't pull that off.

Soul Train refers to Parting's immortal sentry bust that he used to win 100,000 dollars at the end of 2012.
Soul Plane is the mass Void Ray styles, but it can also refer to Genius' proxy Stargate triple gate bust in PvT.

It's pretty good but I don't believe he'll be able to win against Vortix tbh. Grubby did look kinda shaky in his PvT which he apparently had said was even better than his PvZ now.
In that case I recommend one of these solutions:
Soul Train Soul Plane Seed Max out Inca Special Huk YOLO Triple Double Anypro Anytime Choya Gate Stardust Bust Naniwa's Double Dare The Warp Prism Delivery
I've never actually understood what the Soul Train and Soul Plane are.
I vote for the Inca special.
Soul Train refers to Parting's immortal sentry bust that he used to win 100,000 dollars at the end of 2012.
Soul Plane is the mass Void Ray styles, but it can also refer to Genius' proxy Stargate triple gate bust in PvT.
I'd still go for the Inca special.
Sure he didn't WIN that GSL but at least we all remember him! How many other finalists do we talk about often? I don't think MKP has an "MKP special," right?

Soul Plane is mass Void rays ala Alicia/Crank. Inca Special means making dts. Anypro Anytime was the build back during early 2011 PvZ before the infestor buff. It went out of fashion, but has recently come back in the last month. It is a 2 base 7 gate blink stalker with +1 and obs attack. Naniwa's Double Dare is proxy double gate.
I don't include Naniwa's Immortal zealot bust since a lot of different players have a claim to it and none of them have really used it to win a tourney.

my thoughts alike. Probably didn't want to play anymore lol. It's not like Grubby was that far ahead ><
well he was loosing everything inside his main, and when he would have pulled his army back, Bunny would have lost his third/fourth.
it was kinda early to GG but he was kinda screwed all tho i agree, you should always stick to the end.
He was most definitely frustrated to play TvP late game. All terran have felt this way before and probably quite often against protoss.
Its pretty clear what you play i guess, Grubby just outplayed Bunny here and broke him down.
I have 1000+ wins with both Terran and Protoss.
In WoL it was much more challenging to defend terran timings because of lack of mothership core.
I was top 30 masters in 2v2
it matters
Also I demand the Weedamins cannon rush to be included.
1000+ in 1v1. I wasn't bragging, just responding to the comment that I presumably played terran when in fact I've actually played more protoss 1v1 games than terran 1v1 games.

That requires some history, but adding "cleave" was done as a derogatory measure, similar to labeling something "cheese".
The early meta established that a "proper" composition was one melee, one caster, and one healer. Later, the original "cleave" was created around the Warrior ability of the same name (which allowed them to hit two targets for a short amount of time), and the first two comps to be played with doublemelee were the two named Cleave above. This was seen as "cheese" almost, because simply rushing down your opponents with two melees is easier to play than to slowly pick them apart with a "balanced" comp, such as the early strong comps of RMP (Rogue Mage Priest) and WLD (Warrior Lock Druid).
Later, comps were often named by people who *LOST* to a comp, as opposed to being named by those who created it. Exceptions are things like Shadowplay, which takes a great deal of skill to play, and TSG, which was named by the eSports team of the same name. Calling something a "cleave" is intended to insinuate that you lost to something dumb and cheesy, rather than being outplayed. Saying "ugh, I just lost to some dumb cleave" is similar to saying "ugh, I just lost to a 6pool".
Later, people adopted the "cleave" title with pride as a sort of middle finger to the haters (similar to labeling a "cheesy rush" an "aggressive all-in").

Failed zerg scouting and overdroning. The overlord scouting the gates the second they went down wasn't exactly helpful for Grubby.
But regardless of what the zerg scouts, he is still going to build units at that timing. See robo facility, build units in case of immortal all ins. The only thing that could possibly cause zerg to not build units at that time would be seeing a stargate.
Grubster should go in a real team to get better. Laddering doesnt make champions ask demuslim, idra, incontrol etcetc, They all know im telling the truth.

Apollo is a fantastic addition to the ESL crew, but I have to admit, I really miss the Kealaris/Tod duet. It was one of the best pleasant surprises of season 1.

Nah. This was more impressive. The 4 rax -> mech is something that if you've seen it before (which Apollo had) you'll remember it for a long time, just from the set up.
This scan call though... need much more detail about an individual player's style.

If you can't split, then don't split. That's what Mvp did last season against Socke. He played a style where he won with multi tasking and multi tasking alone.
What is this "Europe Holds Bullshit" ?! ForGG should have played from Europe. He got his yearly work visa processed but it never arrived to the french embassy in Seoul.
ForGG has been ripped off. He could have gotten into the yearly finals but now he won't have enough points.

That was not a lag issue, ForGG got straight up beat in Game 3 by Grubby. Archons are the one unit protoss has which owns Hellbats (not-light, plus do bonus vs. Biological) and they would've ripped through much of ForGG's army. He didn't recognize the third, didn't recognize the push, and got beat.

lol no. "better player" did not win, actually Grubby is a ofc a cool guy, a good player and I like him more than ForGG but it is obvious, that Terran that need to MICRO to win, no matter what matchup, are more affected by lag then Grubby was. If the "better" player won, why did Grubby opt 2x for allin/timing attacks instead of a straight up macro game against this korean terran?

not really his fault because he wanted to be here but he had visa issues due to esports not being recognize as an athlete thing. Otherwise he would be in europe playing.

lol no.

If the "better" player won, why did Grubby opt 2x for allin/timing attacks instead of a straight up macro game against this korean terran?

If people overestimate anything in Sc2, the top 2 would certainly be: 1. mules 2. hellbats
3. ST_Life?
3 would be imba svc( repair) or marines (tier 1 unit that is useful through all the game) or maybe imba medivac boost or...what i didn't hear a long time: imba EMP, cause it damages and kills so many units compared to storms...

He could have played in KR scene. He didnt choose do to do so. These bureaucratic shitz is part of playing games on prolevel in other regions... But forgg lost fair and square.. grubster had him. I even believe his games against vortix were really awefull. He lost his spot there and then not against grubster.
I don't think micro was the problems, ForGG lost it partly by his late third, but mostly when he poked with the rines and lost a lot together with a few medivacs. If he'd waited for the hellbats to come out first the fight would be much closer. Of course there's still the colossus switch to worry about, but that's the penalty for having a crappier economy.

Im sure ForGG would'a 4:0'd his groupe if he woulda been in Europe. But anyways, gg Vortix and Grubby.

Good player knows how to scout third base. ForGG didnt scout and deserved to lose. Scouting has nothing to do with lag.

Grubby reacted to what he saw. He saw the fast 3rd CC and went for the immortal pressure + warp prism due to the lack of tech/units from the terran. The third game was also like that, as the oracle saw the stim being researched at the normal time and the factory coming down, so he took the third base before forgg could move out and attack. Reactionary attacks due to game knowledge. So yes, the more knowing (yet not as mechanically strong) Grubby beat the non-scouting (yet mechanically out of this world) ForGG.

Lag made it hard to scout the push or the third? Don't think so. Grubby outplayed ForGG in that game 100%.
Grubby just had the better unit composition, even with lower ping I wouldn't have seen forGG split against that. Not to mention forGG knew the situation and decided to go for splits vs storms instead of ghosts (sure then you also have problems with higher ping, but that's all things he knew beforehand). If it was just barely won by Grubby I could have agreed it was due to ping (would still have been deserved by Grubby. But this was a very clear and decisive victory of Grubby, stop trying to downplay it. Because lets face it, if forgg would have been in Europe you would have blamed jetlag.

This game felt so bad... ForGG was sitting on two bases for so much longer, I would have thought he would have an opportunity to do something... still his army looked wimpy and the the only drop was shut down by the photon overcharge.
Hellbat nerf just kicked in, as it was the supposed counter to the mass zealot composition that Grubby had that just does not counter them all that much any more.
The same story as on Vestige... he sees the oracle... he defends... he sees the zealots... he makes the right call... he dies... again. What the hell.

Not he could not have, he plays in a French team, he wants to live in France.. Stop this fucking rhetoric. ForGG contrary to all those mercenaries on EG, coL or even TL (yep I said it) is commited to live in the EU region. He has done every thing that was required from him and his visa was delivered but never arrived in Seoul. So yep, he has been punished because he went the extra mile and pushed the boundaries a little further. Meanwhile duckdeok advances with cheeses.

You should also ask why forgg felt the need to eco-cheese. He should have instead gone for safe play, which means he wouldn't have died.

500 ping? Tough titties, it's his own fault.
not really his fault because he wanted to be here but he had visa issues due to esports not being recognize as an athlete thing. Otherwise he would be in europe playing.
He still wanted to play WCS EU. He can't get a visa to go to France? What about every other country in Europe? You might argue that would be a ridiculous level to go to to get a decent ping for ONE competition, but that's the thing about choosing to play WCS EU rather than Korea.

oh didn't know that but now you did it as well anyway grubby won because he was the better player in this series that's all. i am happy for grubby <3
The thing that really screwed ForGG over aside from not scouting that third base is how quickly Grubby got storm up. Against a standard zealot/archon midgame, there might have been a timing to pressure Grubby. But what Grubby did that was smart as HELL is skipping the robo to get to splash faster, also delaying his upgrades. Why? Well, because an oracle opening usually delays that. You'll want a double forge down usually and then head towards splash damage. Grubby actually just cut out the part where he needs upgrades to defend by having 7 freaking templar with storm research done when ForGG's initial moveout came.

i hope ur a move sentences is troll ...
Pure sarcasm, yes. That's what the sarcasm face at the end is for.
Grubby won because he had a secret third base that enabled him to assemble a higher tech army much sooner than his opponent anticipated. Grubby was able to get a critical number of High Templar's with storm at an earlier time than would be possible on 2 base. So ForGG's army was outmatched due to the economy difference. And ForGG was not aware that Grubby had so many High Templars until it was too late.

How is it his fault that French embassy is giving him a hard time with his visa?
his problem, he is from Korea and if I remember correctly there is WCS Korea ... trying to get easy money from Europe? bad luck ...
Yes, we can't let Forgg get the easy money, instead we should reward the handful of top foreigners that would get just as easy of an road to the same kind of prize money as superior players gets in WCS Korea. But hey, it's all about fairness to the poor foreigners amirite?

No I think it's because he delayed robo + upgrades to get storm out quicker.

Actually Grubby would have gotten those templar with storm out on 2 bases as well around the same time but they wouldn't help him at all. If you do this on 2 base then ForGG just says "alright, not gonna attack then. But guess what, you must have skipped something to get those out. Let me find out what's missing and abuse the hell out of it, expand and then do a big timing when I've got my counters set up." And Grubby was missing a robo and upgrades. But the thing is, getting that storm this fast in a scenario like this game where he takes a super early third makes sense because he can catch up in both upgrades and other tech a lot faster because he has a third.

I understand his build was designed to go for early storm but I feel the main difference in the decisive battles was the extra base enabled Grubby to get a lot more High Templars than ForGG anticipated. So it was not just that he had storm, but that he was able to cast so many of them. A lot more than would be possible on two base economy.

Mostly people seem to argue that Grubby was better than ForGG today in the last set, I don't think people are arguing Grubby is the better player, let alone better than Hero and sOs? Grubby didn't win with pure luck and he didn't win because of a small micro-mistake, but this game he made the better decisions and won. I'm sure if they're playing in a LAN-environment for 99 games that ForGG would win more than half, but today he lost to Grubby who won through making better decisions.
I'd love for all this "the better player didn't go through" to stop at some point, there's no objective measurement for that so arguing like there is one is just silly. There are so many different skills one could master and so many circumstances beyond our control.

don't forget that forgg mainly qualified for the finals due to his tvt. he played very well in the first round of the finals, but he has been lacking consistency in the other matchups since forever.
Shine beat Bisu in BW. The better player doesn't always win but usually the one who performs better during the matches that count wins. Was Shine better than Bisu? Roflno. Was he better than Bisu when they played? Yeah, and screw hydra busts. Grubby may not be better than ForGG but he was the better player today so it's only fair to give him credit where it's due.

TvZ is his weakness, he is quite good in TvP. But you are right he got through last season with TvT which shames me.
in WCS EU 3/5 of the previous season's top 5 are out, only the finalists remain. This means WCS points will stay competitive around the 20th-10th spots.
