Savior is actually the only zerg user that made me watch BW clips he came up with awesome strats and micro that raped other broods and he showed us that he overwhelmed "zerg" he was EVIL character among the fans (was even called Matler) (since he raped rA and other protoss)
but he is just adding loss to his record since last year, and his arrogance and self-confidence is gone from his face i loved his "evilboss"ness, however, he is not even smiling in recent days
he is sinking for sure and there seems to be no hope for him to get up what caused his collapse? everyone might say savior's fall started from vs. bisu but i think it is actually from FBH the biggest cause of his fall is vs. Terran, and FBH was first terran who stopped savior going up to semi-final. Savior must start over with vs. Terran .

nice pics
Savior was pretty scary back in the pre-bisu era, i'm sure he will have his day again
|
DIE MA JAE YOON, DIE!!!!!!!
|
i think most of his fans don't feel like cheering up anymore, but i wanna trust him

Fuck he was a monster.
I know we've talked about this before, but Savior was the first player that I would watch and go "he can't lose"... and he couldn't. Sure others had done it before, but he was the only Zerg I had ever seen like that.
He has left his mark on the game, but it's time to move on and focus on Jaedong's legacy...
|
I'm so fucking annoyed I missed the savior awesome era. I could handle missing Casy win an OSL and Midas/GF get really good, and oov/nada/ra continue on winning here and there, I'd either seen it before or it wasn't even that interesting. But the savior era seems intimidating, in a great way. damn.
|
Man those were the days, i want nothing more than to see him come back but it seems highly unlikely.
|
|
Savior was truly UNBEATABLE.
Bisu basically found cracks in his armor and made him aware of his mortality and the end of Savior and that was the beginning of the end imo.
However I always disliked him, his boring face, no personality.
|
It wasn't the loss to Bisu that started the decline, it was the win from Nada in the OSL finals.
|
Im exicted whenever I heard Ma Jae Yoon !!!

Nice pictures. Good thread. These two are really pimp. Baaaaaaad mothafucka!

i miss boxer more than Ma, but still seeing him play at his prime was scary.
i wonder how you feel playing him...
|
My theory is that since savior was the zerg to beat for so long that everyone knew his style of play and figured out ways of beating it. Savior hasnt chaged his play much and since then he has been gettin beat by other players counters to his style. Now it looks he has lost all confidence in himself and is destined to fail.

This image is what I think of when I remember the savior era.
He's the guy that I loved to hate. As a terran player, I could not bear to see him systematically dismantle the top terrans one by one. He seemed invincible. With every passing bo5 between him and top terrans like midas, iris, and nada, I would think "Maybe this time we'll finally break savior's domination!", but it would never happen.
I was always hoping that savior would get taken down in epic fashion by one of those top terrans who could push him to the 5th game. The bisu 3-0 was epic in it's own way, but it really wasn't the way I wanted to see it happen. I didn't want to believe that this seeming immortal being could have been struck down so decisively by some no-name kid. After that, the savior era gradually fizzled away, until the savior I knew in that picture was no more.
I still have hope though. I don't believe he's done yet.
|
yeah when he had the black uniform. man the superfight against boxer, the games against virtually anyone. just pure rape
|
|
88% ZvP? That's fuckin RIDICULOUS.
|
aww man I really miss the dominating savior. HIs era of dominance is what got me into the progaming scene because his Z-style was so awesome to watch. Nowadays I try to avoid all savior games because they are so damn painful to watch Hopefully the era of Jaedong is just as long and exciting.

That black uni was the sex ! sAviOr was truly a beat. Remember the OGN trupmhing in Pringles MSL.

Savior was a monster. Was indeed
|
nice pics, and sAviOr at his imbaness was great, i loved watching him on an entirely different level then any other gamer in the world. When he asserted his will to win it was unparralelled.

savior was like oov in the sense that i'd watch his games and think to myself, 'is he really playing another progamer?' because he made his opponents seem so transparent and feeble

When I first started watching live Starcraft and started getting into progaming, it was in the middle of Savior's era and I just loved watching him dominate all the players and everything they threw at him. Good times!
|
I remember thinking in mid 2006 that it was interesting how after all those years of pro starcraft existing it finally turned out that the best race was Zerg.
Then Bisu came along and changed it all. I remember thinking 6 months ago 'lol I was wrong, I guess Protoss is the best', as Bisu/Stork were beating everyone.
Now it's Jaedong and his ridiculous win streak and one-sided games and I'm back to square one with 'turns out the best race is Zerg'.
Actually, it looks like were due for another Terran bonjwa. Flash, please be him.

And yes I know the players and maps are more important than the races themselves.

when he never lost and was super dominant it was a pleasure to watch him. everything his opponent came up with, his answer was already waiting for it. there's been no other player like that. it's a shame his style changed and he fell from the throne, because he was like a player that if you wanted to beat him, you had to take him into late game and even then he was usually going to come up trumps. there were no easy wins against him and in fact his losses were always close, long ass games. now THAT'S an end-game boss for ya.

FBH has maestro killing powers... the secret lies in those humiliating dances, the maestro just crumbles at the sight of such shit. There's no other reason.
Jaedong is next on FBH's list.

oh i also miss how savior was literally unbeatable. Free point for liquibet booo

sAviOr will come back. I know he will.

i remember the time when nada was on the comeback trail and it was always savior who ruined it for him (OSL and shinhan masters??) and it pissed me off so much hahaha...i can also recall a thread that showed a minimap pic (savior had like 70-80% of the map) and had the caption, "all of savior's games look like this..." or something like that and it was so fucking true...you gotta miss those days when you just knew he wouldn't lose...damn savior was a beast back in the day...

ironically enough its my belief that sAviOr ascended to his throne in a similar fashion by taking down Boxer 3-0 ... I hope sAviOr is just on a slump and look forward to him reclaiming his power

It would suck if he became the Zerg Xellos.

Or the Zerg Reach, or the yellow, the guy that just hangs out there for a long time.
NaDa fell behind for a while, then got the golden mouse. How long has savior's slump been going on?
|
Since WCG 2007 I would say?
|
It's unlikely that he'll ever come back, considering the big amount of old star players who slowly vanish from the top scene. He's also quite slow (APM) compared to Bisu or Jaedong.

He was called Matler simply for a pic of him doing what appeared to be a Nazi salute. It wasn't of course but still It had nothing to do with his game play.

yea i kno wat u mean every game u expect him to win like shinhan3 osl and then wen he doesnt we all cry =[ unless u play toss

OOv did return and win shinhan Banks OSL, why can't Savior win another tourney with better determination and a better work ethic?

I have always wondered why the Maestro would fail. I was watching his vods and HATED him for annihilating all my favorite old players, rA, reach, boxer, iloveoov, etc. But now, I feel bad for him. Savior was the necessary evil starcraft needed and I hope he can come back.
I long suspect that before Savior started playing, there was a spark that set him off. A desire to utterly destroy all other races. Now, we can all clearly see that he has lost that spark. I hope he finds that spark again so he can refill his shoes to become the necessary evil of starcraft.

OMFG well put. I feel exactly the same way about sAviOr when he was dominating all my favorites. He was the player I loved to hate and I can't hate that much anymore cause he sucks ass right now.
