This makes me remember back to when Boxer first formed SKT1 and iloveoov was just an unkown talent he had found, along with zergman and intotherainbow if i remember correctly. So many good memories from watching iloveoov and boxer play over the years.

I still can remember my awe when dozens of tanks would appear out of nowhere after he just lost his army and the commentators would be going bat shit insane about how Oov was cheating...

Great times. Great memories. Thanks for them all, Oov!!!!!

Amazing read, I really liked that he could beat people by simply outsmarting them. Who needs micro?hehe ; )

fantasy's execution (in everything but bio micro) is good enough that he's not going to fall to "mediocre", I don't think. Steady A-class instead of S-challenger, maybe, but not mediocre.

Anyway, thanks for the article bump!

IMO Savior is biggest because he took the hardest match up, most gruesome challenge to overcome, and he did it, despite being mechanically handicapped compared to adversaries. But yes, Cheers ILoveOov

Good article. Maybe Oov can join Ace as a coach instead of a player during his service? Then Ace would really be a threat
