Absolutely sick write up Ver. Major props! Can't wait for the next installment <3

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.
