July is amazing. Period.

Whether he falls into an eternal slump or just never gets a GSL victory, he will be amazing.

(DAT GOLDEN MOUSE!)

Since he will go to serve in the military, he will may be already never be as good again. But thas is then and now is now. I am currently watching his stream and his play inspires me. Even when he loses like he just did on Antiga Shipyard, he looks good.

July plays zerg in such a fashion its just pure beauty for my eyes. He is creative and playful in his play, and he makes it work. I mean, 1 base muta vs a FFE protoss who goes stargate as well, and then after some battles, july sits on 3 base and outmacro/micro the opponent. He is just incredible.

Maybe, with HotS involving new units, this will favour July's way of finding new strategies to play with, more suitable for his style, making this man a monster.

July's been my all-time favorite player ever since I first learned about pro BW. I didn't even know he streamed since I usually ignore anything sc2-related (sorry!), but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for his stream from now on! Thanks for the thread

I am glad that there are vivid July fans and that we westerns obviously are able to show emotional reactions to a great player, too.

I was and still am overjoyed that I get to see the God of War streaming his games

I was also very excited to see the God of War stream, to try to glean some of those high level humiliating mind games. But I found that it was really hard to see them from the stream. I just saw that July at random points in the game would stop building drones and do an all-in a minute or two later. I had no idea what triggered it, and why he chose that unit combination, and when the right moment to attack was. He kept winning with these attacks, that seemed incredibly risky from my more macro-oriented conservative style. I knew he had good reasons, but I just couldn't figure them out.

Then also, I noticed that he had very strange (seemed just bad for me, but then I'm low diamond and he has a golden mouse, so I didn't know what to think...

) mechanics. His mouse is fast, but he has weird hotkey setup (hotkeys hatcheries, and does inject by double tap hatch, select queen with mouse, inject, click. And while he flickers around with the screen quickly, it doesn't feel as agile as when you watch other zergs with smooth mechanics like idra or violet. For example, in a ZvT he kept not hotkeying his zerglings. He had (some of) his mutas on a hotkey, but to move around his lings (that was more or less at his rally point and destroying rocks etc) he would go from his natural and scroll with the edge of the screen to his lings and give them new orders, without hotkeying them.

Those two point made me a bit disappointed. I'll still watch him over for example catz or TLO (no offence guys <3), but it was not as amazing as I had expected. Also, possibly after idra, he is the most trigger happy advertiser of the streamers I've watched.

But that's ok, I don't need to watch him watch the search countdown or split his drones. So that said, thanks for streaming July!!! <3
