Let's just say any nickname that uses a name from the actual game is pretty lame and not creative.

Gonna steal thread for a sec. I'm fairly new here. Only watched 3 seasons of proleague prior to the hybrid format without rooting for a team (i just rooted for jaedong =P) Now that the hybrid season has started I've decided to root for CJ. I hear alot about savior (good and bad -_-) and his rich history and would like to learn more about him as he came before my time. Anyone care to link stuff? Games, threads, etc.

Even if most of this might be true, the bolded part is REALLY arguable hypothesis. Fantasy's impact for terran metagame was significant.

Fantasy won an OSL and got to the finals of the OSL after than; and won Proleague with oov in the military, He's also on a tear in this OSL. The guy has innate talent; and while I won't deny that oov played a big part in helping him with opening the Valkonic route and mid-game Mech switch; he's way too solid and talented to be anything more than just a vessel.

Could you elaborate on his zvt revolution? And compare him to the level of people like jaedong and effort?

don't quote me on this but i think he was the one who integrated defiler usage? :x
^ probably wrong tho lol

according to liquipedia he made zerg more macro oriented

and also: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/SAviOr

If I remember correctly, Savior standarized fast lair play to counter 1 base Protoss. Protoss simply cannot beat 2h Muta or 2 lurker cost efficiently, and Protoss will have a very difficult time with map control once Zerg gets lair tech.

As for ZvT, I think Savior was one of the first Zergs to go 3H Muta, although timings were slightly different, the ideas were essentially the same. I think before 3H Muta, Hydra Lurker was popular to counter Terran Bio.

Good lord that's a lot of stuff in there.

It's kind of hard to make an SC2 comparison. I guess it would be similar if infestors in SC2 were more powerful and became a hive-tech unit. And a build would be something like using muta-ling to harras and threatening base trade to keep terran in its base. Then tech quickly to infestors which are deadly against marine/medivacs. But the difference between BW and SC2 is that SC2 lair-tech zerg army can fight toe-to-toe with mid-game terran army. Something that they cannot do in BW.

i like how people tend to understate the fact of getting to the finals - "only get silver" and stuff like that lol.

A silver is insignificant compared to a gold. Many scrubs have gotten to the finals, only to be rolled.


A silver means a bit more then, say, failing to qualify for the tournament at all, doesn't it?

and you should deny, becouse Fantasy himself denies Oovs asistance with his...how that was called by him? Denchanic?

To be fair, I think he's been playing better than everyone else for the last several months.

There certainly were a lot of guys who couldn't believe what they were seeing and saying how did this happen. I remember getting a good laugh out of it. :>

I accually agree with the OP, Stork should belong in fantasy/effort tier.


The biggest difference you guys have to understand is these are the guys who usually carry a lot of the weight for their respectful teams. Not only that, but they tend to go very deep in tournaments as well. Even Bisu if we consider the time they started labeling them that. No smoke and mirrors.

Fantasy has overshadowed the TBLS and will now be classified as a class of his own...

F-class....

Edit: The F obviously stands for Fantastic

Nice to see Fantasy getting mentioned here. Recent results aside, Fantasy trumps Bisu and Stork in terms of achievements imo
