This looks just like EVER2004 OSL: oov struggles hard through whole starleague and wins very close series against very skilled players, other guy just rolls through everyone undefeated and sets records for "fastest bo5 played", and in the end it is the struggling warrior who wins. | ||

do you think July will start his slump now? or will he be like NaDa? when oov came into the scene, NaDa lost his #1 spot :/. Though it's really oov reclaiming his #1 spot after a long while so, that leaves IPX being the real thorn in oov's throat | ||

The maps were not as bad as all of you are complaining. The ONLY bad map was Cultivation Period. Both RoV and Rush Hour are balanced ZvT maps. RoV is actually a zerg favored map. July lost on all of them. There's one terran-favored map. One zerg-favored map. One balanced map. That to me looks balanced right there, and if it's not, it's nothing to complain much about. It's much much more because July's ZvT just does not match up to oov's TvZ. That's a fact. Savior is hands down the best ZvT right now, and the only one who can beat oov, and the only zerg I've ever seen who can claim he dominates ZvT. | ||

The only reason people are deceived to believe his ZvT is amazing is because he barely etched out a 3-2 win against oov a long ass time ago, and barely etched out a lucky 3-2 win against GF (due to GF's miserable mnm control when he had the game won) a year ago. July has never dominated ZvT. If he won a series against a T, almost all the time it was him barely winning it by one match. In the meantime people seem quick to forget about July getting raped by so many subpar terrans during his run. People seem quick to forget how many times July has been destroyed by higher level terrans during his run (vs Nada IOPS and KT-KTF, vs oov, etc.). One of the reasons why POS wasn't so hot in Proleague was because July couldn't overcome terrans. The maps were not as bad as all of you are complaining. The ONLY bad map was Cultivation Period. Both RoV and Rush Hour are balanced ZvT maps. RoV is actually a zerg favored map. July lost on all of them. There's one terran-favored map. One zerg-favored map. One balanced map.

Savior is hands down the best ZvT right now, and the only one who can beat oov, and the only zerg I've ever seen who can claim he dominates ZvT. while i agree wthat july's zvt is overrated, you forget that july raped nada 2-0 in KT-KTF. he did, after all, WIN the tournament. i don't agree with your opinion on the maps though. there was more than 1 terran-favoring map, and that was in 815. also the fact that cultivation period was played twice gives oov a huge advantage, especially because the first game is so psychologically important. you could tell july was mentally broken after being run over so easily the first game. as much of a champion as he is, i can imagine it'd be hard to keep a positive attitude being down 0-1 and having 815 and cultivation period again later. this might be the fanboy in me speaking, but i believe gorush's zvt was almost as dominant as savior's during his run. he beat nada in a very important series, something i dont think a zerg has ever done to an in-form nada throughout all of starcraft history. | ||
