Other than that, amazing write up. I can't explain how fantastic it is in words, other than the ones I'm writing as of now. | ||

I suppose saying " economics master" would be more accurate, it's just too bad that it's not as catchy. i think its more a sematic* (is that the word) issue. Most people think macro is just having your rax/fact/ccs not idle/keeping your mins low and not missing your supply depots but macro is much much more with expo timings and knowing when to add additional production buildings stuff like that. While the former is something oov wasnt the best at actually in some fpvods he was even subpar in that aspect the latter he had no equal too. Flash is probably the closest. I remember while watching oov vs rage on colosseum he first introduced his new tvp build. He got a huge lead from a vult raid but later on in the game it really showed how his mechanics have faltered because he got pretty sloppy at the end. Just read this again and just noticed again what oov was. Actually wondered what if oov played chess or poker hehe. | ||

Nada is the most successful of all time. Savior is the most recent - hence the greatest of TL following. Oov seems to be the underdog. I knew nothing about his career except that he turned Starcraft into the modern (and some may say boring) macrofest. This article is very enlightening. the least acknowledged? eh? i am not sure about others, but in my opinion, iloveoov was the most "feared and dominant" bonjwa in the history of all starcraft. seriously, this guy was a monster, man. boxer revolutionized the beginning of starcraft, nada has been constantly dominant throughout, savior was a bonjwa for awhile, but still, iloveoov,,, was nuts man... it was just hella unbelievable watching his games... like whenever you watch his games, iloveoov and his opponent seem to be playing at an equal level, but after a bit into the game, you just see iloveoov's army in huge numbers just run over his opponent's army.. it was just amazing to see how he could produce so many units.. a cheater he is.. really. | ||

I read the similar article for savior a month back and of course I've seen 50-thousand Boxer highlight reels but I've been wondering for a while why iloveoov was so good. Between this post and Plexa's amazing writeup referenced by the OP. All questions answered. ty Ver!!! | ||
