Savior did not play poorly that game, but I'm glad Nada advanced. What are you talking about? That game was horrible. Some ling micro at the beginning does not make that game in any way rewatchable.
Compared to his game versus Dongrae, it's like he had an epiphany or something. But his 2 base hive has since proved he needs like 3 or 4 more. But Savior played with confidence. Running into Nada's natural breaking it several times almost won him the game. A move like that would not have been done by a Savior 2-3 months ago. I think that if he stuck with lurk-ling while taking a third gas he would have won as opposed to going 2-base hive.

I never liked Savior when he was at his peak - He was the unstoppable villian, the bad guy who constantly foiled the plans of (my) heroes from achiving fruitition. Watching games where he out-played everyone in a stone-cold manner with such minute control over the entire game that you felt his opponents didn't stand any chance at all from the start was frustrating to say the least. I hated him, and all that his gay 3 hatch and hive shit stood for .
But now, I miss the old Savior. Why? Because I loved to hate him. He was the perfect villian.
Each loss against Savior was like a lament to the death of Starcraft in my mind, and when turned around, victories from any other kind of game felt like lesser victories. Whenever anyone, or even better, one of my own favourites managed to take a game from him, there was hoorraying, fist-pumping and FUCK-YEAHing to such a degrees that nothing else could come close.
As much as Savior's domination felt like a never-ending 'down' period, the 'ups' were comparedly just that much more awesome back then too, no matter how small they were in the big scheme of things - and that's what I miss.
Currently, Starcraft is in a dire lack of a good supervillian. Well, I guess it wouldn't be the same for me personally since the old guard of my favourites aren't really around as real contenders anymore, and I've yet to find someone in the new generation of players that'd inspire me to the point of going "fuck yeah, kid, you're the fucking man".
Flash was on a good way to attain something similar to Savior's status from my own perspective(an utterly boring player to watch, that frustratingly raped everyone with perfection no matter what), but then quickly crumbled into the leagues of normal progamer mortalness.
I guess the nature of SC today, what with the game having been pushed so far and the players keeping on pushing themselves to the utter limit just doesn't lend itself very well for longtime super-dominant players anymore - no one has a limitless supply of energy, after all.
Ah well, I'll keep on waiting.

The final game with Savior vs Nada was good. Not sure why people are complaining. A few more lings and Nada may had lost. If Savior's build was so bad, Nada should be able to finish off Savior a lot earlier. Savior lost all of his units in that allin with lurkers/lings so he really needed defilers after that to stay in the game.
Despite the lost, I trust Savior knows what he is doing. It's not like he didn't practice this build with other top pros.
