People are talking about how its "only" a win streak, but during this streak Oov destroyed everyone in all matchups in his path winning 3 MSLs in a row and an OSL and dominated the scene for a year harder than anyone else ever did, even savior. edit : + hes the definition of clutch winning every Starleague final he ever entered, and he made the biggest impact of how the game was played and still is played today. | ||

Oov's 27-0 is absolutely insane though, especially how out of control it was to do such a thing at the time. | ||

Very nice list! what about a Bisu option? He's the only Protoss to have acheived what he's done.. like 3 MSL's, 2 GOM's I think.. Highest ELO rating of Protoss users.. and he even had his hand at 'dethroning' one of the "wonders" of SC in Savior @ the end of his reign. I <3'd GARIMTO too when I seen him, watched the finals of him and boxer back in like 2001, but c'mon.. Bisu is hands down the most accomplished Protoss.. shoulda been a Bisu option ^ ^ A lot of those options are really magnificent though: Oovs 27-0 TvZ Nadas 83 month streak in top 30.. Saviors dominance.. Boxers dominance.. Best coming out of nowhere to win 17-0 PvP's.. in a time of Stork, Jangbi, Bisu and Kal.. The 2 age records for Flash and baby aren't that impressive.. its standard knowledge that younger players have more potential, and stamina to succeed and are powered towards stardom.. so naturally they try a bit harder and prolly have more time to practice.. cept for other actual progamers that's been in the field for some time and been practicing like 14 hours a day O_o gL | ||
