What can I add?
It is probably the best piece I have ever read about e-sports, or even sports in general.
Plexa, you rock like no one.
Now, I'll go download hell of a load of epic replays, as I only discovered progaming after Oov's slump.

Nal_rA picking ooc straight up the ceremony after he killed Kingdom was so epic.

Good writeup. But I seem to have forgotten one of the abbreviations used. What is FD?

Edit: Thanks pachi <3

"FD - Meaning "fake double" (As in fake 2 Fact rush). Terran rushes with similar forces from a Gundam, but from 1 Factory only, with the intention of expanding immediately."

I would say iloveoov is more off a macro oriented style player, no doubt about his micro but his MACRO is def high up in the ranks. He would forever be remembered as the guy who has more tanks then anyone else!!!!

Oov was the premier Terran back when I first played SC and got introduced to the proscene. I remember my roommate trying to "pattern his game after oov" to try and beat me.

This breaks my heart.

sometimes it takes someone with that sort of arrogant i'm-better-than-everyone attitude to take things to the next level..

oov will be missed. =(

French translation Second part is up (sorry i forgot) => http://clandaerie.com/articles/the-gorilla-terran-partie2/

The third part is coming tonight at 7pm (French time). It will wraps up the whole article (i had to cut it because it's long). I'll do the TL PART 2 next week (and i'll cut it too).

Hope you can pass this to your French Friends that didn't study english at school (surely 50% of your friends like mine :p).
