I said that most people who said the finals were boring were SKT fans. You then proved (quite convincingly) that the finals were indeed boring, which was too bad, because I never agreed to the contrary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman_argument | ||

Were you not implying that people thought this was the worst OSL in recent history, due to either being SKT1 fans, or Protoss fans (both of which more or less mean they think it was a bad OSL due to bias, rather than it really being a bad OSL)? | ||

It's great while it lasts but it's over way too quickly and you're left with an empty feeling of disappointment. Not that I have any experience with that of course. I don't play ZvZ. | ||

but boxer was a complete different level . when he showed up on the scene , it as the biggest step made in the history . random A- would not beat boxer 2000 just because boxer would play so smart that the A- will understand nothing . boxer2000 almost know starcraft better than some A- in the present . in football , if pelée of the past plays in the present , what would it be ? just pathetic .. but can you think beat the pelée of the past ? NO WAY if you are not a professionnal | ||

There's just absolutely no question that a mid-level casual player on iCCup is better than the top players of 2001 in basically every area of the game. We could seriously just play the 1hatch/2hatch lair builds like the old Zergs and win without much problem.

How is it pointless? I'm just making the point that it's pointless to compare players right now and the players from the old times. Obviously the concepts of macro and micro have evolved so why is he saying a C- zerg can beat boxer from 2001 using modern strategies that are superior? | ||

So I'm pretty sure it's just a pretty old weird ZvZ BO that has been forgotten by time until now. | ||
