Jesus christ. Go back to the the emo-hole.

We already have hundreds of terran icons. It's nice to have a zerg finally dominating the whole stage for once.

Iris played great, but seriously, there are too many boring mediocre emo-terrans already (ie iris, midas, goodfriend). ZvT is so much more interesting than TvT. It's even more interesting to have a zerg owning up terrans on maps where terrans clearly have an advantage too.

It really feels like some of the extremly regular posters think they have to disagree with the mainstream just because they want to feel special. "Ok now savior is best and most popular, I have to cheers for anyone but him".

Just stop it please, it's embarasing.

Oh, I don't like Iris. I just pity him for being so sad D: I mean, you have to feel sorry for him - training for 12 hours a day for a month and then losing.

About hating sAviOr, I hate him because he's boring to watch, not because he's dominating. When oov was the best, I still liked watching him play, because his style is fun and different, even if it's still macro. Same with NaDa. BoxeR is just fun to watch because he's BoxeR.

sAviOr antis don't hate him because he's good - we respect his skill. We don't like his style though. It wins, but it's not fun.

Oh, I appreciate the fact that he's trying to diversify. But he's BAD at this one hatch muta stuff, and I'm certain that in game 5 his strange build order set him back and was something that was overcome - it was definitely not a masterful plan that made him win.

The only time a strange low econ build contributed directly to his victory was 9pool and 5pool in that series vs bifrost, IMO. The other times he 9pooled in today and yesterday's series, it didn't really give him much advantage - in every game he would have been better served doing his usual 3-hatch muta to lurker.

The one hatch one base stuff should be left to the likes of YellOw and July.

Errmm Allow me to make a few corrections:
In the pic, is not Iris, but in fact, Savior. He crouched down because he was exhausted. This happened after he came out from Iris\' booth. (\"이렇게 힘들 수가\"
변형태에게 인사를 마친 마재윤이 체력이 다했는지 주저앉고 말았다.)

And translation corrections: (They were done very well for a non-native)

▶ Iris and Much really gave me strength.

(Rather, he said \"Iris and Much will give me strength(for the final).\")

▶ Because of Iris’ aggressive style, I was kind of scared to meet him in the league.

(Rather, he said \"Iris has an aggressive style, and it proved to be quite scary playing him in an official match (meaning that not that he was scared to meet him, but that Iris was scary in their match that just finished.)

▶More important than advancing to finals in both leagues, is actually winning both of them. That’s what I really want.

(Rather he said, \"Rather than just advancing to the finals in both leagues, I would like to win them both. I believe that will mean more.\")

▶I am one to practice as long as I feel satisfied. Because the analysis of the maps was finished early, I was able to sleep enough. I already had completed strategies for most maps, because I had practised a lot for the MSL Semis against Hwasin. (not sure about this part…)

(Rather, he said, \" If the analysis of a map is finished I would go to bed early, but because I lost so many games against Hwasin in MSL semis, I practiced like my life depended on it in order to find a consummate strategy.)

▶I am not as pressured as Nada is (?). Also Nada couldn’t face me for a long time. It’s gonna be interesting/fun.

(Rather, he said, \"Nada has nothing on me. I believe he won\'t be able to take me lightly. It\'s going to be fun. )

-Nada said in an interview that he wants take revenge and restore his honor.
▶I think Nada is intimidated by my momentum/force right now. I am not afraid of him. (um freely translated.. please correct >_<

(Rather, the interviewer asked, \"He will give back his fame, (Nada will disregard everything he has achieved throughout his career) and make sure he has his revenge\"
Savior said, \"I believe, it\'s only right for Nada to be pressured by my current force (form). I lack nothing that Nada has.

*This statement sounds arrogant in Korean as well. Nada fans are upset by Savior saying this and in Korean communities and in Nada\'s fan cafe Nada fans are showing their displeasure. However, the general feeling in Korean SC community is after the final game vs Iris in Arkanoid and having made it to 2 finals in the span of 2 days, Savior can say anything he wants and is his right to do so.

▶There will people saying that now yes. I want to defend this spot in the future.
(Rather, he said, \"Now, I think I can be called the best at SC yes. I will defend it in the future as well.

I hope this helps and does not refrain snowbird from doing more translations.

Thanks.

There's a great post. Down with emo-terrans! Why not a zerg for once?
