That's not true. July was a zvt god.

Great as always Plexa.
I would just like BackHo to be given a break someday. I know his play is somewhat... disturbing. Clearly he has never opened PvT and PvZ textbooks. But somehow he WINS when it matters. He has qualified for both MSL and OSL(with the help of seeds, OK. But still). The list of S-class players he has defeated is impressive.
We are yet to see him raping Bo3s left and right, but this guy is a round robin killer. Please give him some credit. If he was as bad as many describe him, he would be just another Tester : half of a 2v2 team sucking hard in every major League.

July could tango with the best back in 04, and by the best i mean the only Terran which mattered - iloveoov. However after his prime you simply could not count on his ZvT, as you can see here.

I've come to appreciate that you can make a lot of money by betting on Backho in PvP - notably the jangbi series . Anyway, Bakcho kills in pvp, and he's got impressive wins over the likes of Stork (GOM), Bisu/Much/Jangbi (EVER08). Outside of PvP, however, i cannot trust him. The way he was dismantled in PvZ/PvT last season was abysmal.

The point remains; he was not always known for his superhuman zvp with his zvt being weaker. He became known and won Gillette and ITV because of his then monstrous zvt.

His last real ZvT was in April, right?

Much can happen in 5 Months, you really can't tell how his ZvT is looking. Probably it's not the best out there, but probably it's good enough to bring a randomly slumping flash to his knees?
