I'll admit I did not read it but this has been the most aesthetically pleasing article in a long time. Scrolling through all the headings makes me wonder if SC2 will Reach the same depth =/.

Dont forget that you cant have a legacy article about (Z)sAviOr without finishing with (P)a young toss that did the impossible. XD

Such an amazing article, best TLFE I've read. I got into BW just at the end of Savior's dominance, to watch him be demolished by Bisu. This really shows me some of the amazing things I haven't been around for. I started reading this when it was posted, and watched all the VOD's linked, all of my evening gone in such a good manner.
really?

Does he ever stream or upload games of SC2 online? You would think with so much fame(good or bad) that he'd try to capitalize on it somehow by showcasing his skills now with SC2. Or has he given it all up since the scandal?


He streamed some bw games not to long ago you can find them on page 16 in this thread:

(Z)sAviOr surely have one of the most amazing stories of bw history. Both his early years and his decline. I can admit to shedding a tear whenever I watch "You Could Be Happy" (Z)sAviOr video on hot_bids channel. He was and will forever be my favourite bw player. He took the throne after (T)Goodfriend for me.

The ever awesome Ver is the writer of this article. Incredible article, i think i forgot to mention that. Really makes you appreciate how dominant he was. The Maestro indeed.
For he is the Oystermeister, lord of all the oysters.

I love you guys.

Wow, the whole dynamic between lings vs Infantry vs lurkers vs tanks vs defilers vs science vessels vs scourge is amazing. The battlefield situations these units and their abilities create are endless. I really feel sad about playing sc2 now and the good ol' "a move" ;(

More than anything I will take from this article, how better tactics, strategies, multitasking and micromanagement make Broodwar a much deeper and interesting game than it's successor. It's not necessarily that the top SC2 players are worse, just that the game and units lack such depth. Which lowers the skill ceiling greatly and makes it much less likely that one player will be able to dominate and be called Bonjwa. Sorry for going off topic, but this is all I was thinking about while watching all those great VODs.

As for Savoirs future, I don't see why he shouldn't be allowed to play sc2. He has paid deeply for his crimes, and many cheaters from the BW foreign scene are accepted as top competitiors in sc2.
I'm sure if he could go back he would slap the shit out of himself and never make that deal with the gamblers.

Amazing article :-) Savior was my favorite player to watch even after he had lost his edge on everyone else just because he seemed to know the game better than anyone did. I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't seen a couple of these games X_X

I try to imagine Savior the match-fixing person being different from Savior the progamer. Some part of me wants to believe he does, too.
