Poll: Is Savior's dominance a good thing or bad thing for progaming?
(Vote): good thing
(Vote): bad thing
Personally, I'm tired of him winning. I am so ready for someone to knock him of his throne. While I do respect him as a player, I would much rather see someone like rA or July winning. I don't think his play and style is doing anything for the Korean fans either. It seems like a lot of people show up to his matches just to see if he will lose. So what are Tl.nets thoughts?
edit: I redid the poll.

CRY MORE emomonkey!1
savior's dominance is fine for progaming 
i like how the poll's options make no sense in relation to the question 
"is this good or bad?"
yes
|
good :D
the boxer of our time, except he isn't as flashy or depicted as a nice guy
|
sAviOr gave me the inspiration. His dominace brings the swarm strength, he's the best

I was thinking the exact same thing
|
I do not see how "yes" or "no" answers good or bad.
|
I voted yes because it's obviously good or bad for progaming. I would have voted good thing though since it's about time we got a Z player on top. Terrans have had far too long in the spotlight.
|
It's never bad. It's good because it will force the increase of skill levels.
|
I'm guessing
good = Yes
and
bad = No

I can't speak for the korean fans, but I think his defiler-usage is beautiful to watch.

Also if games like Savior vs. Ra G1 on peaks or Savior vs. Iris G5 on arkanoid don't do anything for you, may I suggest your standards are a bit high?
|
i think he's a bit too dominant, from spectator's excitement point of view.
i'm not very hyped about the MSL final, for instance, because it's quite likely that it's going to be a rape.

This is excellent for progaming. If it was a toss up between tons of players all the time, people (or at least i) would be bored. Players like savior who achieve dominance gain such hype that when they fall (like he will to bisu next week ) everyone goes ape shit bananas.
Remember that 3-0 Superfight #1 against boxer? yeah, so much for super

HOW THE FUCK DID HE WIN 5TH GAME VS IRIS????
that's my thoughts about him
I remember seeing a replay of him on LT a long time ago.. Every little thing he did had meaning and was meant to confuse and demoralize his opponent. It was just beautiful. I prefer his intelligent style much more than nadas spam and attack style even though I usually side with the terrans being one myself.
I think he is great for SC cause he really makes you see the psychology in sc instead of just the plain 13 hours perfect macro micro which to me can be really boring to watch..
I hope he apologise for the Heil-Hitler poses in his next interviews. Being all his life infront of PC playing SC I guess he doesn't fully understand how offensive and out of place that is especially when he is a teenager's idol and every little thing he does has huge impact on the crowd..

the interviewers select his pose, not savior

Weren't those just photoshops? I love watching Savior play. He's great for this game and the fans. Programing needs a villain!

sAviOr strikes me as a Neo-July in his image. July was the God of War and known for crushing many pro gamers. This could be interpreted as evil much like sAviOr.
sAviOr draws many fans because his play is impressive and his games are usually exciting (imo at least). I think he's helping the game a lot by giving a dominator like Boxer was and maybe he will inspire players to work harder and possibly bring in some new blood. He's certainly not hurting it.
I wish people would get of that pose. There are tons of logical explanations for it. I doubt he is a neo-Nazi or the Korean pro scene is biased towards Nazism. Things mean different things other places in the world and this could be the case. Stop saying he was saluting till you find out out all the facts.

just the fact that he is dominant is great for progaming.
just because of this one thing:
it shows that a skilled player can consistently win, and that the game is not all luck and map imbals
that is *great* for gamers everywhere, they have something to aspire to
|
The very fact that so many people want to see him fall is part of what makes him so great. Having someone so dominant is both inspiring to those who like his style (of which I am one) and acts as anticipation for those who hate him, because they want someone to rise up to knock him down.
+ Show Spoiler +Personally, I love that he's about to clean up and win both leagues in quick succession.
