When it comes to the greatest of all time, it's Nada. The only other player that could be said to be similarly good career over such a long period of time would be Stork, but even then he never dominated the way Nada did back in the day. | ||

I guess they were just super epic games or series in general. Jealous you should link to that game, I searched for a bit but couldn't find it. I watched so many old bw vods today. I miss the glory days of bw man. >_> | ||

Xellos had a perfect record on Bifrost at the time (hence his nickname 'Perfect Terran'). Nada was the first player to defeat him on it. Until Flash's comeback vs firebathero, this was probably in my books, the greatest comeback in the history of progaming. Shame it hasn't been talked about as much as it should had. Nada had been on an insane TvZ rampage at the time, showcasing his new SK terran style to perfection. It would not be until this game against Savior that exposed the weaknesses of his build. | ||

I remembered that too man, NaDa be ballin'! His consistency over such a long career is unparalleled... Stork comes close to that but his lack of gold medals is the main difference. | ||

But it's true he's an all time great and his play had a huge impact on bw. As BW is dying, it feels strange to see all these pro who played when i started watching the pro scene retire. I think they're all retired now, except Boxer, but is he still really playing? It looks like my bw-time is over too, i feel a little blue. | ||

It wasn't until late 2003/early 2004 that my friend showed me a video from the Stout MSL between Nada and Boxer where Nada won that I realized "There are screaming fan girls? They're THIS good at Starcraft? I have no idea what's going on strategically, but I'm still at the edge of my seat? What the fuck is going on!?" and from then on I've watched Starcraft, and from then on NaDa has been my favorite player. Yes, Flash is the most dominant player of all time; Boxer the most influential, but what NaDa did, in my opinion, is the most impressive. It didn't matter how many times he got knocked down in-game or in real life, he always came back. It could take a week, a month, or even longer, but you always knew that NaDa wasn't going anywhere. He was the one constant that lasted for basically the entirety of professional BW. He was the one player you could never count out, he was the one player that adapted to every change in the game with seeming ease, he was the one player who could continue a ridiculous practice regime for years and years, and that's why I respect him and his play so much. If it wasn't for NaDa I probably would have never watched professional BW, nor would I have accepted that "e-Sports" really existed. It's strange thinking that the one constant in Starcraft is going to finally leave, but I'm glad to have been able to watch him for as many years as I was able to. It makes me regret not being old enough to go to a finals he was in and get to meet him, but if his health is declining I suppose it's for the best. It's times like these that make me hate SK's mandatory military service :\ | ||

He's just such a huge part of what made Starcraft what it is. | ||
