EPTAs old as the games are, a lot can still be applied in today's BW and SC2 scene.
Its a shame that Savior is banned in the SC2 scene as well.

Just as the Black Sox scandal overshadowed Joe Jackson's marvelous career (and there is some doubt he was even really that involved), the match fixing will overshadow Savior's (and there is no doubt on the amount of his involvement) Its probably not possible but I'd love for part 2 to cover a lot about Savior personally, why he chose to do what he did, and what his regrets are. Would be an interesting human interest piece. You can't forget Pete Rose either. I had already stopped playing BW by the time savior rose to dominance so that was a really fun and inspiring article to read. | ||

With a clear victory over Flash in the MSL finals (and you know it's going to happen), Jaedong will take the crown of the best ZvTer ever. 100% incorrect. The caliber of Terrans today can't even compare to the Terrans that Savior slayed. Iloveoov? Nada? Hwasin? Boxer? Midas? The only Terrans today that are as good as any of them are Flash and Fantasy (and possibly Leta). Savior was destroying Terrans at a time during the dark period for zergs. There were zero zerg not named Savior who where making the R08 of either the MSL of OSL for nearly two years. Jaedong might have a better record than Savior in ZvT, but the guys he's playing are much worse (other than Flash), and there a several other strong zergs right now for him to study and improve from. Savior did it all as the sole flagbearer for the race. | ||

A "true" gamer dedication shouldn't come from the money it should come from the love for the game, just look at ppl such as NaDa, Boxer, Flash i don't think they were promised money when they began playing starcraft, they played it for fun and they could quite anytime atm since they are obviously not so legendary as before and they have made enough money for a lifetime but they don't since they like to game, they are gamers, so are MC,Neastea and FD who were between the worst of bw but kept playing since they liked playing. If it is true that Savior actually helped at selling matches result, that doesn't show that he is a bad person, a bad player but it just shows that he doesn't care about the actual competition and fun in the game but rather only about the money. He was an amazing player - noted He was the best zerg over 3 years - noted He owned all and every of the top tire pro multiple times in matches - noted He innovated zerg - noted But all this achievements seem like nothing to me if he did it only to win money and not cuz he truly enjoyed playing the game. Just my 2 cents | ||
