?? well, I would think so. Interesting report


I found that reminiscent of Chessbase's "It doesn't take a genius to blunder" lecture title

Excellent report. I've been wanting to write a semi-drama BR like that for a long time and just haven't gotten around to it I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I must admit, though, I didn't like the way you depicted the Protoss. They were too... un-alien, and brutal. Reminded me of Star Trek's Klingons or some of the ancient Human civilizations like the Romans or maybe Huns. And I never thought of Protoss eating

But you are the author! Again, I really enjoyed reading it! It's been too long since I've seen such a great report. Thanks,
- Shadow Master

Omg, there was just one thing better then a toss winning the OSL: this fucking awesome report!!
If you're unsure about continuing with this kind of style: please, do it! You can be proud of yourself!
It's soo more enjoying to read then: t exps, p drops rvr, t vult rush, etc, z 2 hatch. I really read your report from the first to the last sentence....other reports I only skim

In one word: WOW!!!!

i agree that its distracting, especially if you're trying to read them for information on the actual games

having read the live reports before though i have to say it was nice to see a change of pace just this time, it added some color
i'd be annoyed if people started writing all of them like this though

thanks for the reports mani , and it was definitely some of your best writing i've seen so far too

Not fair, using words I have to look up in a dictionary.

Anyways, Thank you for your kind words. To those people who didnt like the style, dont worry, I wont do this for every report. I just thought that with a special match I would try something different.

Im not surprised that Anytime won really. RoV showed its true colours in both the semi finals and finals. Anytime played both players the same way. Stall until carriers. His carrier micro is great, but it didnt have to be inhuman. The map gives him such an advantage terrain wise. I was surprised that the terrans always pushed in that big open center. The protoss armies just kind of engulf them there. I thought maybe the terrans would try to push from the bottom more with their tanks, and use floating buildings, vultures and mines to negate any high ground advantage. It just seemed like Boxer didn't learn from oovs loss at all.

As for 815, he was a monster, dropping multiple places simultaneously. Boxers ships were just too slow to keep up. The other two games that Boxer won though, he simply destroyed Anytime with better timing and tactics. But, 2 wins doesnt win a championship.

I feel Mani saved this final from being shitty... cuz if you were presented with objective game analysis... the finals were actually quite dull...... at least the reports are the shit.
