Just keep your damn rines at nat, make a bunker at choke and take your nat. Anyway I didn't watch the series but it looked like no one really won a game without the other screwing up, which kinda sucks. :/ And yeah, Midas heavily choking when he's leading 2-1 and the 4th game is deja-vu. Great great finals upcoming though! | ||

He had already invested in FD (1-fac, mines first, late siege) when what he needed was two-fac tanks with seige. better placed mines, more mines, cancel cc, build 2 rines, bunker on ramp, scv blocking, build cc in base and he still wouldve been up. I know this is wild guessing but I think that game was thrown and maybe the entire series was thrown | ||

Call Anytime's 4-gate goon push "cheese" if you will, but it takes balls of steel to do such an extreme build on the fifth and deciding game of a major semi-finals, after coming back from 1-2. 3. As I write this, Anytime has left his booth, but Midas is lingering. Again. Aww breaks my heart. wow that was 4 gate? i thought it was someting like 1 gate, robo, 2 more gates then gogogogo | ||

Just keep your damn rines at nat, make a bunker at choke and take your nat. the more you push toss back the more time, map control you have, the safer your expo will be, the better integelligence you'll have of toss by how many goons he has. If midas wanted to just expand he couldve just built vultures, mined, expoed, and skipped the tank, i think arcadia is big enough to do that. | ||

Great great finals upcoming though! Isn't it interesting? A year ago FD was unbeatable. I think because strategies are cyclical, Midas keeps trying to catch Tosses with their pants down by using an outdated strategy. Or, Midas is as mechanical as we all suspected he is. You almost never see him do anything daring. I think Midas strains too hard to play within his comfort zone. Players with solid fundamentals will have consistent success that way (GoodFriend, Midas, etc.) but without that extra dash of daring and the willingness to take creative risks, they will never make it to the top. (which is what makes StarCraft great) I think this series was really good and dramatic, there were a lot of good plays, not just screwups | ||
