"Boxer is the Legend of the Fall." On the Reach/iloveoov line: I think the proverbial nail in the coffin for iloveoov's TvP dominance was not the Mercury game [though it was quite revolutionary] but rather the 3-0 thrashing Reach gave oov in MSL a bit afterwards. Especially that Luna game. The Requiem game was soooo gooooood | ||

Especially that Luna game. The Requiem game was soooo gooooood Hmm you have a point there. The mercury game just seemed symbolic, because it was the first in its kind, with this style of mid and lategame play. the start of a new gameflow. but yeah his dominance seemed to continue because he won the osl (finals were TvT though, and as he said in the interview, he was lucky in the semifinals). I think that if Reach and Oov played another BO3 1 week after the EVER2004 OSL, reach wouldve won 3-0 too. Also the MSL maps differed from the OSL maps in terms of style and balance | ||

yeah, what he means is you show him 1tank 4 rine and 1 vult, make him 2gate powergoon FE, and then roll over him with 2fact tank/vult, while he has 5-6 goons and no obs | ||

The development of the "metal" terran play vs protoss is often credited to several western battle.net players, among them NTT. Other players such as Slayer, Crexis, probably Zileas because he had a great strategic mind and used many of the strategies we see today as early as the bw beta. Hearcutter's deep six, while rather silly-looking these days, was a nice strat to counter early protoss. And Boxer's dropship play changed TvP a lot as well. Everybody and their grandmother did the 2 tank dropship play, the 3 fac tank and the island goliath play back in his heydays st.Eagle was once said to be the best terran in the world, much based on his great metal usage, but calling him the inventor would be hard to defend. Nowadays he is probably most famous for that fantastic game vs Garimto on silentvortex during sky 2002. | ||

Err if I remember correctly Boxer used mass marines to counter carriers in most of those games. Was rather cool to watch the interceptors die -_- | ||
