80% of the reason Oz won those games lies in unit control. The other 20% comes from Stephano making mistakes in unit composition, which lead to Oz (in game 2) being able to counter attack while Stephano couldn't do anything with a pure broodlord/infestor army, and Oz's wisdom to know that attacking a Zerg in the late game doesn't mean he's all in.

Oz's innovative playstyle and creativity is why he's one of my favourite players to watch. So interesting to see his play analyzed like this. Good article.

Awesome post, a good read. I still think taeja is the best player at this event, bar none, but i enjoyed the look back at one of the best performances of sc2.

Did MLG choose not to advertise a countdown on the top right this time around? Seems this article (which is FANTASTIC) is the only hype for the tournament. This article makes me want to watch the tournament throughout, not just watching HerO and TaeJa storm through!

Oz is just awesome at preparing for a specific opponent. Just sometimes, I believe he ocasionally over-thinks stuff (I still remember him going nexus first in a PvP... ) and he could be more stable in terms of results.

But the thing is... if Oz dictates the game, you are likely to die. I hope he wins something big, he's a real treat to watch.
