I'm kind of curious, is this a multi-part article about savior, or is this "God of X" thing more like a series about different players who achieve/overcome the extraordinary?

Because that would be cool too!

great read... nice to read some of the history of BW. it's easy to pick apart why boxer/oov and others were legendary, but savior's subtleties are amazing as well.

I don't want to steer the conversation too much into SC2 and the balance "discourse" there. But Saviour is exactly why people should be wary about that conversation. The man was dominant, and while other Zergs couldn't just easily emulate his understanding d his play, they could tease out information to improve their own game.

The match up was seriously changed by a player, not really Blizzard.

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"


SC2 has been out for 10 months. 10 months after the original SC was released, people were massing scouts. It is two expansions and 7 years of gameplay evolution too early to be able to compare to BW, we can at the very least give it some time.

Amazing article. Can't undo the wrong things he did, but he certainly revolutionized ZvT.

i think terms like "amazing" are being thrown around too lightly for many articles on TL, but i must say this is absolutely spectacular, from content to form and back again, exceptional read if you love(d) bw

thank you

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


hoping that will be for part 2!

I missed the period of Savior's and Oov's dominance (didn't watch as many vods). Thanks for this writeup.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.
