Ooh... If you only watch one game from the whole tournament, I suggest you watch Game 3 of his series against Best, on Andromeda: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/games/9783_BeSt_vs_Jaedong/vod
He makes Best literally jump out of his seat (skip to 10:40 if you want). Jaedong has style, man.

But the real example is Savior - no matter what you threw at him, his 3hatch build would destroy you very much unlike the rest of the Zerg race which had to continually adapt. I see Jaedong and indeed Luxury as talented gamers but not quite having that last bit to push them to superstardom like what happened with Savior.
You seem to criticize Flash and praise Savior for doing the same thing: repeatedly using a strong build and winning with it. You see Jaedong as "not quite having that last bit" that would make him so good he could use the same build over and over? With all due respect to Savior, I personally prefer watching someone who mixes things up and can play various styles well.
Gotta run to class

Loved the article, boxer will always have a place in any SC players heart! <3 the emperor

Boxer is not to Bolt, Bolt used skill and training to become the fastest runner their straight up. If boxer was running the olympics he would have desquised himself with a fake mustache and snuck ahead of everyone halfway through the race

Legendz speak of a Starcraft player whos skillz were the stuff of legendz. Hes so awesome, in fact his opponents would be blinded by the overexposure to pure awesomeness.
Go go boxer, crush these pathetic n00bs like jaedong, bisu, flash and forgg. Dominate the Starleagues and show em whos real pwner of the house!!
|
Nice writeup! It's true, everyone is a Boxer fan. I play Z so I mainly cheer for Z players but if Boxer is playing my heart is with him.

So BoxeR shouldn't quit SC. He's the one that will bring back ratings!

Good article! I guess you don't think Boxer should retire after all
Jaedong's WCG games versus BeSt and GSI final versus FlaSh definitely lead me to think that he can be the dominant player everyone wants. Making BeSt jump out of his seat was awesome. All he needs now is a good bo3 or bo5 rematch with ForGG.
I seriously can't wait until Boxer comes back and starts playing televised matches more regularly. TBH I haven't been watching as much SC as usual, everyone I become a fan of seems to disappear from the active individual leagues...

"Then Stork happened – with his difficult to market image" lol
fantastic writeup, hit the nail on the head, kudos to you sir
|
Plexa I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but you've provided some great links to epic games I've never seen before. Thanks!
|
