Its cuz he beat my two favourite players nada and yellow. I still voted for him but I would rather see someone like Silentcontrol beat him, and I hate silentControl with a passion.

Nada is so fun to watch. I remember watching a replay of him vs nal_ra where he doesnt even go vulture upgrades, just mass mass tanks. I also think nada's tvp harass is incredible.

ditto.

he's a typical terran play like a machine. seems like there is a trend in the pro-circuit: a cyborg terran pro dominates for a certain amount of time until a better cyborg terran pro arises. how many of these clones have we had already? nada, xellos, and themarine just to name a few. (OK, so xellos and themarine are 100% robots).

But there is a distinctive move that iloveoov likes to do in about 90% of his 1.09 reps and that 2rax, fast cc and even do a variation of a fast cc build more than 50% of the time vs toss.
I can still see that he had kept this trend up while conquering the major leagues.

so in short:
#1. he's terran
#2. there's no flare in his playstyle
#3. what's new?

ILoveOOv has mad charisma.

ILoveOOv and NaDa are different machine Terrans. NaDa will always get his natural and win with nothing else due to insane harrassment. ILoveOOv will always have more bases and win. The former machine Terran is more liked.

Anyone who says OOv has no variation is a fool. He doesn't have as much variation as BoxeR, but he still has a lot of variation.

here's my list of terran players with distinctive styles:

Boxer
Control - i like the fact that his skills is cloaked by his cheese-play reputation.
[Oops]Lee - before he moved in with KTF, he played so agressively. I see a resemblance in July's style these days.
Elky - lol.. desperate terran

for those less skilled terrans, its not as fun to watch him. they absolutely LOVE boxer cuz hes so full of cool tricks, that they love seeing him winning. for those that dont appreciate pure skill with less artsy moves, they just dont want iloveoov to dominate as much as he does and put their idols down, like boxer. my guess anyways

tru tru, because iloveoov is very much a machine like nada, going with safe and powerful build, while boxer is trying cute stuff and always trying to get an advantage off the enemy in anyway he can. i love iloveoov cuz he has perfect macrot.T

That's what I like about Boxer. He sees an opportunity to do something cute, and he does it. He doesn't try and be perfect. He tries to be entertaining. That's what I like about Boxer. I mean, who wants to watch someone who just does the same thing, over and over again?

oov frequently uses "boring" fact/cc or 2-rax cc builds simply because his macro is awesome. it's the same reason boxer likes going starport and dropship--he's good at it. until the other pros learn to beat oov's expand-macro-win style (as julyzerg exploited) then he will continue to do it. there's nothing wrong with it, and is impressive simply because the opponents KNOW he's going to do it yet still can't stop it.

i became on oov fan after that game vs nal_ra on requiem where he stopped rA's cannon rush... it showed he was versitile and could adapt to situations creatively. (nexus kill vs zeus, etc)

he's simply the favorite, and lots of people don't like the current dominant player. this favorite status coupled with his "boring" play style that makes people dislike him.

Yes he is cocky. He tried to be a boss and chatter out mistakes of pros before he even became a pro

Also:

5. He looks like someone you just can't get along with
