I know, terrible pun. Anyways, I remember a day when everyone hated iloveOOv. He was called a cookie-cutter terran who beat everyone with almost the exact same, boring builds. He was also an arrogant douche who lacked sportsmanship. Nowadays, everyone seems to love "GORRILLA TERRAN!" and "CHEATER TERRAN!" He really hasn't changed his playing style much. Why the change of heart?

We got used to the playing style?

I wasn't around during iloveoov's debut so I don't personally understand the hate :\

he's been around for a while

people naturally like old-timers more than nobodies like Notice. When notice wins 3 starleagues and 2 years pass, people will be swarming him all the time too.

Oov's genius was so far ahead of its time, it took us years just to understand that when he seemed soooo boring, he was actually 50 steps ahead of everyone else, at least in mentality

Agreed. Oov set the standard for the macro oriented style we see today. It always takes a few years to truly realize and appreciate someone's influence on the game.

I think the macro style of today would have happened regardless of oov (although it would have been slower to develop). Oovs innovative spirit saw what a future, incredibly efficient way to play game would be like way before everyone else

the reply was only to the boring comment, not necessarily to you. if you didn't say it then it does not apply to you.

really cute, though i should have said something like micro tourney join fast!!11 but then again, oov was not that bad at micro when he was defending cheeses. so it is kind of unfair.
