Though it does make you wonder that if Savior understood the game to such a degree, exactly why did he start slumping? i can identify a few, but mainly these two: 1) confidence - after being smashed 0-3 against someone with an expected 1-digit winning chance, who wouldn't lose confidence? 2) mechanics - savior's apm was definitely slow. his micro (at least his muta micro) was bad, to say the very least. his multitasking makes modern progamers laugh. he made up for it with insane understanding of the game and great unit utilization (such as lurkers, defilers and lings). once the average playing field stepped up, fast multitasking and apm eventually took over. he couldn't catch up. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=226236¤tpage=27#521

Since this is part 1.. is it going to be more on Savior? Or moving onto different players?

Nice F.E man, it was well worth the time reading. Ma Bonjwa fighting!!!

i'm lucky because my broodwar experience started in 2005. and i've watchec savior when he came. I remember his games vs Boxer just before Boxer went to army. But I remember his games vs Bisu too in 2007.

I would love to see a Peak Savior vs a Peak Flash (a la MSL flash vs jaedong 5 factory goliath timing attack)
|
wow this looks ridiculously professional. Even though i never kept up with the BW proscene i still had a very informative and entertaining read. good job man!
