... Things were very different.
- 2v2 Was still played in every proleague match.
- Boxer was still relevant to the Pro-scene, appearing regularly on ACE's lineup
- TvZ had yet to be revolutionized
- Bisu was slumping (for the 1st time)
- July had the best ZvP on earth, and it didnt involve templar-sniping or simcities
- Nada was still qualifying for starleagues regularly
- Stars was still owned by hanbit, and Free was literally the ONLY good player on the team (Zero was still a B-teamer and GGplay left for CJ)
- Foru/Clon were the best 2v2 team in Korea, almost always getting the sole win for ACE each match.
- GOM was still going "strong" (still didnt have participation from estro/mbc/ogn/skt/ACE), meaning that there were 3 individual leagues going on as well as Proleague.
- Sparkyz were still called OGN Sparkyz
- Luxury was the best player on OGN by a wide margin, and usually considered the 2nd best Zerg on earth (after Jaedong)
- lomo was the original 2-port wraith master
- forgg was GOOD
- Khan was the best team in the league, with stork just as good as ever, Jangbi with an arguably even better PvT than Stork, and FBH only rivaled by flash and hwasin in TvZ.
- the greatest PvZ on all time was played
- Backho made a semifinal of a starleague. TWICE!
- Flash and Jaedong were still the two best players on earth
Many things have changed, but not everything.

As much as I love Savior and Nal Ra, I think the Holy War was collectively not that great, Peaks was the only good game (but it was a very epic game xD)

really? in terms of game quality, they weren't all that, but the storyline behind it is better than pretty much any other PvZ rivalry

I was mainly referring the games themselves (Ra's misplaced cannon FFFFFFU-). The storyline's a whole different thing.
And yeah, it definitely is the best PvZ rivalry.

Interesting observations. But IMO, Reach vs Chojja on Rush Hour was a better PvZ, if only for the ending.
|
Those days were full of fun :D

I miss the 2v2's. I like the fact there was one 2v2 per match, it brought change to the 1v1, and also made Proleague feel more ''teamy'' if that makes any sense.
Oh well. =(

2v2 is such a different game, you have to approach it with a different mentality and macro is much less important compared to doing the right stuff and micro. Top 2v2 players often have incredibly poor mechanics compared to an equivalently ranked 1v1 player but that just shows how different the game types are.
I really miss it, it was something that gave ACE a chance

FBH where are you? ESPORT is so boring without your goofiness around.

Was is 15 right now, right? That means he was 13 two years back. Amazing.

Ha, I almost forgot that it was Lomo who started 2-port wraithing before Leta.

Clearly you haven't been around to see some of his epic games against top players. It was pretty crazy back then I have to admit.
I remember a game where he just turtled in against Savior and got a bunch of battlecruisers.
Typical Terran.....oh wait....
