Ver, you are amazing, and this is only part 1 too! Can't wait to read the 2nd part. Shame I only took notice of the scene near the end of his reign, but that's what vods are for :D

I miss BW. I miss Savior. We can only hope that SC2 continues to grow and creates players as awe-inspiring as Savior in his prime.

Really great read, ended up watching most of the vods lol. They were just brilliant and showed insane control. I was never played or watched BM but this kind of stuff is just fckin amazing to read about. Very happy you put the time for this write up : ).

sigh this article makes me depressed thinking about how good BW scene was... there were truly gods on the battlefield, not like today... maybe give SC2 some time and we'll see real geniuses emerge, but for now it seems to be somewhat lackluster top talent.


this time, let's hope for a protoss hero to finally emerge. lol

fucking savior.... when my friend first introduced me to Starcraft, I instantly fell in love with him. I was one of the many loyal fans that kept cheering for him after his slump....

I managed to forget about him in a way but this articles brings back all those hurt feelings =(

I read the whole thread not to repeat anything that was being said b4, the only mention of something similar is a post asking if and if so when will we see this caliber games in SC2.

Im concerned.

I dont know brood war in depth, that is why I would like the opinion of someone who does, but from the things ive seen here on TL and the fact that the BW scene is still "alive and kicking", we could consider these games as equals, (aside from graphics of course).

Is brood war a deeper game where more complex strategies are possible?
Is brood war skill cap higher?
Is WoL a simple and easy game compared to its predecessor?
How was brood war at its beginning?

Im throwing a lot of questions out there. You see, Im concerned. I love Starcraft 2 with all my heart, but when I compare both games and the skill level involved, I cant help but feeling SC2 is a much simpler, pretty and shallow game. I certainly hope im wrong... but... am I?

These questions are not able to be answered. As much as I would love to provide answers. Brood War, to answer the question, was simpler in the beginning than it is today, to say the very least. But it's impossible to compare the two, even from the start. In SC2 we had a huge base of knowledge to start with that didn't exist in BW. But I don't know that it CAN'T evolve. It's impossible to say without time/expansions.

edit: And before people say we should just "give it time" I think it's ok to start to wonder what will need to happen in expansions to see another BW

Another edit: BTW to the other response that we just need to wait, all games don't magically end up BW. Plenty of games have just straight flopped or die.

This was an amazing read, it really opened up me eyes to what he had done for the game. Being a Protoss fan, I tend to gloss over ZvT but this really highlighted the typical disparity in that match-up and just how overwhelming Savior is to be dominant in it during an era when he shouldn't have
