TreeHugger you do such a good job of relaying your passion. It's incredible! I am excited to see some Oz vs Stephano this weekend because of this article.

It's not money, it's not competition, it's not even a perfect game (ahem) that makes esports. It's rivalry.

Thanks for the writeup, I'll be keeping an eye on Oz.

lol i'm glad you referenced Fantasy's beautiful mech build ;;

the fast vulture/dropship harass buying time for fast expansion was just wonderfully and meticulously planned. he just knew how to make sure that all the pieces in his build interlocked in such a beautiful way.

soon as his armory is done... bam! valks. ;_;

it's not so much metagaming, as it is having a deeper understanding of the game, and using that to create your own style and sets of logics to justify your style.

Really nice to see featured articles covering strategy. This sort of stuff used to be a lot more common in the BW days but it seems TL's SC2 coverage focuses more on previews and hype. Hoping for more of these in the future. Loved the shout out to Fantasy vs GGplay.

Wonderful writing!

The quality of editorials in a forum has improved marvelously since I was in high school. I used to look down on articles as a 17 year old high school fool. And yet now, as a graduate student who marks the papers of undergrads, I find myself gleefully enjoying this piece.

Fantastic writing!
