Looking forward for it. My only issue with your casting is the background sound is silent, we can't hear in game music and sounds

At the end July was shit.

Not the all-time second-greatest Zerg, but just the second-most-skilled player at the end of KeSPA Brood War. If you take the opinion that later players were always stronger than earlier ones, then I guess you can argue Effort was the second-best of all time. It's always gonna be arguable, obviously.

Probably talking about Jaedong actually. Though July is a worthy argument for how long he was relevant and how he was able to take a golden mouse long after his heyday.

It's kinda cool to think about players whose duration of relevance is as impressive as players whose time of dominance was in StarCraft's most competitive years.

But yeah, Effort isn't anywhere near Jaedong in my head canon, impressive as his victory vs Flash was, and his general level of play in proleague. A contender, but never one of the 4 kings.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

you can say about savior a lot of things, but not that he wasn't talented. So no Effort definitely not #2 Zerg. But Tastosis had some other inaccuracies in their cast, like saying Queens are not used in competitive play, when we see them actually quite often vs Tvz Mech.

As much as i hate to say it as a Bisu fan, naming him the #1 Protoss is also most likely not right. Stork was a more consistent Protoss in my mind, while Bisu had greater "peaks of glory" so to speak, plus revolutionizing PvZ

Their comment about queens kinda makes sense given how they switched over to sc2 in 2010, and as far as I know mass queen use against mech in TvZ didn't really blossom until 2011. I think their casts will only get better the more that they are able to do them hopefully.

If effort was transported back in time to 2006 he would have dominated more than what saviour did..so i think you can make a case for naming him the second best zerg of all time in pure skill. Or as artosis stated it in the cast - the second best zerg in the prime of sc1 - which would be 2007-2012 i think? At least that is the period i would call 'modern brood war' because so much of the metagame got it's finishing work and have remained so. Along with a whole new generation of talents that replaced the old guard and pretty much remained on the top. But naming him the second best zerg just like that is a bit incorrect, because everything is relative after all...

However i think artosis was definitivily wrong in assessing effort to be "the clearly better player" in comparison to zero. But during the cast he also compared zero to shine and roro as "upcoming zergs" when he talked about zero's kespa career. I'm guessing artosis didn't pay much attention to bw after the sc2 beta came out? Even though he did show up in the crowd for the tving final (last OSL) along with tasteless i remember...zero is hands down one of the most impressive zergs of all time, his problem was not being aggressive enough in the early game because he was always so focused on taking it to the lategame.

Actually cele, artosis pointed out that he thought that stork and bisu was pretty equal in the cast. He probably changed his mind in writing the blog to hype up the finals..IMO bisu is the best because he won 4 major tournaments (3 MSL, GOM season 2) while Stork won just 1 OSL. However Stork had more success in WCG and as you said his consistency gave him a lot of silver. But something in the nature of being the best requires you to actually take it all the way through the finals i think. He also took flash down in two proleague finals remember? Also according to TLPD, Bisu had a winrate of 66,13 %, just short of jaedong at 67,45%, however stork is at 60,27%. That is a pretty big difference i have to say, actually it is behind fantasy who is at 62,41%. Not that winrate tell the whole story, but it might be an argument against the supposed better consistency of stork?

I think they will drop support for SC2 soon (though they will here and there try to appear as if they care still) and so they won't harass the BW scene as much anymore.
