Wow, thanks for that Uraeus. That game was linked as one of his notable games on Liquipedia but I didn't really think too much of it for "clutchness" because of what you said (Oz being up 3-1 already). But I hadn't realized that Oz's 2v2 was bad since I only started watching in 2008 and that they would be in a sticky situation if HiyA had lost. : )

Thanks for the story. ^_^

You're welcome! Glad I could contribute a bit!

About Lecaf's 2v2, they were actually quite a disgrace. Maybe you could find their stats in old PL weekly reports or something like that. The main 2v2 team wasn't even that stable, though I think at that time (P)BackHo and (Z)ggaemo were often fielded. I remember they could not have won a game on Hunters if their lives had depended on it, though I think it was after the PL title.

IIRC Ace had the best 2v2 ((P)fOru was really good), and Oz had one the worst. Actually, the only notable achievement of Oz's 2v2 was (P)BackHo basically winning a 1v2 after his teammate got cheesed out. I am not too sure, but I think (Z)Max ((T)WhO SC2ers know as (Z)SUPERSTAR) was in the opposing team.

Long story short, Oz's main 2v2 was really bad, so imagine how good their 2v2 spare team could be!

If you have time, watch (T)HiyA's PL finals game. The vod is there, it's not too long, and I think it's interesting to watch just for the atmosphere. You can really feel the pressure. Or maybe that's just the Lecaf fan in me getting chills

When Hiya found out his stream was being restreamed to foreigners he set out on an epic adventure to find it.

i love hiya and all and i loved his shenanigans but as a team mate he rarely helped and when i mean rarely i have the the weird memory of him winning games oz lost at them
i still havnt forgot how he lost to skyhigh on that winnerleague vs cj
all in all he may have been the 2nd best player in 08 and maybe 09in oz but that just shows how no one in oz was good except jaedong
still i loved the crazy games and crazy ceremonies ,u'll be missed
fair well and have a good life
thanks for the nice article btw good job especially on the games of free and flash
i say we dust off and nuke it from orbit

It's an honour, ClouD. : )

Glad you enjoyed.

Also you said you wished there were more like this, so I guess I'll point out my other one on Horang2 ^_^

Great read! I never really paid much attention to HiyA but this is really cool!

Shame about his early retirement though :/

Actually I have to second this. I rarely ever post on TL anymore because most write-ups are really bland , and the comments are mostly useless crap and whining and flamings and memes and stupid arguments 99% of TL does not care about.

For the first time in ages, this article made me feel the burning passion of the writer for the game he loves. For the game WE love. This write-up conveys a lot of emotions, it's witty, well written, it's full of BW knowledge, and it serves a purpose.
And interestingly, the same love for the game shows in the various comments.

I think this is very close to be a Final Edit. Bibbit, I think you should PM TL's writing team about this. I would hate to see this thread get buried in a few weeks, when it could easily be featured in TL's masterpieces hall.

Wow ! If my article were a book, your comment is what I would slap on the back. Thanks so much <3

And yeah I already PMed Waxangel about possibly getting on the PL/OSL writing staff and he said its under consideration. I'm not about to PM him again about trying to get it TLFE'd or anything because spamming the shit out of him is probably not the best course of action.

Oh man! That's awesome! BW TL needs more writers like you! I hope you make it!

About the FE's, they are usually much longer and look deeper into the subject (see Savior's style analysis for example). But I am pretty sure a collection of a few tributes like this one and the one on Horang 2 (which I find good, but a bit more shallow) could qualify for FEs.

You know what would be awesome? A tribute to OZ!
Sadly, the players in Oz that mattered were few. You have (T)HiyA covered.
(P)Anytime is my favorite player ever, so I could help you for his tribute.
JD should not be too much of a problem.
And... Well, I guess Killer deserves something as Oz's latest star. (P)BackHo's goofy style could be writing material, but sadly he was only good for a short period of time.

As a Lecaf fanboy, even I have to admit that the others are pretty insignificant (yes, even Lomo or GGaemo).

So this would be a fair amount of work, but apprently you have way to much time on your hands

Should you be interested in writing about the players I mentionned above, don't hesitate to PM for info!

And thanks for your write-ups again, they are awesome!
