this was legendary. I still remember watching saviors fpvod of the msl finals, and i remember he tried to dance with hydras (spam clicking left and right) before GGing out. Lol

Lots of Koreans call Savior as Arthas picking up Frostmourne and corrupting himself. I personally think its an insult to Arthas though.

I missed this as I started following Broodwar a little bit after this. Really cool read, I've really got to watch the games some time.

Bisu's win was the first competitive BW match I've ever seen.
Damn, 10 years.

Very nice write-up, can't believe that was a decade ago. That was one of the first professional BW matches I ever saw.

Was Savior's ID not IPX Zerg or something back then?

One of the greatest nights in BW history. The fall of the Maestro and rise of Bisu. Those games are still great to watch and that LR is fantastic to read while you follow the vods. That Savior hype video gives me the chills.

Is there a subtitled video of the finals in the same vein that Boxer vs Hiya? It's kind of cool to see the casters bewildered

It was like Buster Douglas knocking out Tyson if that event had also changed how people boxed.

Savior's interesting cuz I feel he was the first player to truly make a lot of the older pros obsolete.
Reach Ra and Kingdom couldn't really touch Savior... then comes Bisu.
I feel BW changed more with Savior than with oov.
