What the fuck lol. Nada didn't win anything when Boxer was at his peak of dominance. Boxer TAUGHT Iloveoov. Savior is practically a newfag compared to Boxer. Back when Boxer was dominating, yeah, he was dominating. He was definitely the best around in his day... edit: I feel trolled T_T | ||

The bonjwa line starts with BoxeR. You are talking about 2002-era, where his TvP started to fall and NaDa began taking over the scene. Pre-2002 BoxeR was indeed THE dominant player. He was the original creater of dropship micro. All the thigns Fantasy and Leta do so well now, (dropship, vultures) BoxeR began way back then. The metagame changed to much more macro heavy, which is why he started to losing a lot of TvP's, but until then his micro-heavy timing push style was unstoppable for many good progamers. Now the metagame changed to mix in both elements. | ||

Then clearly, you haven't paid any attention to the pro-scene in 2001. I don't think I even knew what Starcraft was back then and even I know Boxer was respected as the best back then. Coming on TL and trying to impose your "facts" on everyone else isn't the way to go. P.S. Sorry if English isn't your first language but please, please, capitalize... | ||

...what I think vaMpYr is trying to say (or at least what I'll say) is that ever since the fall of  sAviOr, there has been quite a bit of parity in pro-starcraft. Now currently, the great players aren't #1 on the PR every month, or winners of back-to-back-to-back starleagues. That really doesn't happen anymore, because there are more players with good macro, mechanical skill, and game sense than ever before. Obviously,  Bisu holds the highest ELO of all time, and he and Jaedong have been on the power rankings (in the top 5 too, I looked this up once but I've forgotten the exact numbers) consecutively for years now. The standards of dominance are now different. That said, the best players right now would (and sometimes do) demolish any great player of the past.*** As for EffOrt, I think his skill with the 12 hatch reached its peak against great when he was able to successfully defeat the hard counter to his build. If EffOrt was able to succeed with his 12 hatches against Calm, that is to say he would have made the 12 hatch a safe strategy, then we might have seen a fundamental reordering of ZvZ. However, as Calm showed (and he is up there with YellOw[ArnC] as the third best zerg) a competent, well-informed zerg player can punish the 12 hatch, at least on certain maps. This sets up interesting mind-games against Jaedong, because EffOrt may have to rethink his ZvZ, or he may just go with the 12 hatch, assuming Jaedong will expect a change. | ||

Jaedong's 0-2 vs. Effort came at the end of a grueling 2 weeks with an average of almost 1 game a day. Jaedong had a lot of different matchups to practice for and was exhausted by the end of those hell weeks. Effort, on the other hand, has nothing but ZvZ for the next few days. His ZvZ vs. July in GOM, his (possibly many) ZvZ vs. Jaedong and ggaemo in the PL. And this ZvZ series. Being beaten 2-0 after weeks of unending play is one thing. Being beaten 3-0 when that matchup is the only one you have to practice is another. | ||
