"When I have a match against Terran, I practice more with Terran than with my main race Zerg." - From snowbird's lovely translation of an amazing esForce article.
sAviOr will always be a particularly special player to me. His run up to the Shinhan 3 OSL attracted my attention and drew me into progaming, and subsequently TL.net. I get all nostalgic watching the ZVT reps of him in his prime: his opponents can anticipate his going 3 hatch mutas and try all they can, but it rarely ends up mattering.
It was a simpler time, a time when the word Bonjwa actually meant something. For crying out loud, who else would have the gumption to challenge another pro with their off-race?

124 hotkey checked replays of the Maestro as he 1v1s NaDa, Bisu, Flash, YellOw and the like. They're sorted by game version and matchup. And oh, I guess this renders this pack irrelevant. Quite a number of MSL games here, especially from that fateful GOMTV MSL Finals.
A caveat: a handful of reps from 1.13-1.14 seem to have problems. I suspect they were recorded with Penguin Plug. I included them for posterity's sake anyways. I'd really appreciate it if someone could find a workaround, or verify this, or point out some oversight of mine.

46 hotkey verified reps of the Protoss Dragon as he does battle with a couple of lesser known players. The more distinguished players that pop up in this compilation are Flash, Stork and Sea. I didn't really intend to compile a collection for him but with so few reps I figured why not?
