Regular gosus have good play, and they outplay their opponents. Era-defining Super gosus, however, not only outplay their opponents, but they dictate the other player's play. Players like Nada and oov in their prime, and currently Savior, have the ability to impose the big picture that they want upon the other player. Savior, in particular, has such murcurial timing and tech switching that it's hard to see exactly what he does great. This is also because he's a Zerg. With Boxer, Nada, and oov in their prime, us fans could sorta see what they were doing by watching their Build Orders and overall strategy. Savior, however, has this incredible, shapeless, zerg-like je ne sais quoi. I can't really see what he does every game. All I know is that every game, Savior seems to have just the right amount of expos, from which he produces just the right amount of just the right kind of units to win battles one by one. And this way, he prevents his opponent from executing their game plan. Boxer, I'm sure, had prepared his own game plans for each map. But Savior has that special ability, the same ability that Boxer once had, to force his opponent to stray from the prepared game plan into unknown territory. All I want to say is: if it looks like Boxer played exceptionally poorly today, it's only because Savior is that damn good. people can have bad days, and certainly a day when everyone you know expects you to win against the best player out there right before you retire either as a loser or as a winner, that is a lot of pressure = best set up for playing nervous, sloppy and with shaky hands = shitty play boxer's micro was not good. the fact that he lost a cc to 8 hydras when he could have repaired it (although he was busy), lost his initial fast acad rush to 8 lings then lost another 6 mm to those same lings and then some scvs too, and so on can tell you that | ||

I understand your dissapointment but humble with it. Boxer is not so good as before and Savior is simply stronger now. He's perfect. | ||

(Luna & Co) Additionally Savior didn't use special strats today. He just played his perfect style. What I colud imagine is that he threw his games to stay mentally fresh. (Ok, not a good explanation. I just don't see him losing 2-0 vs OOv in THAT shape.) | ||
