Nal_rA over ZeuS - NHN Hangame OSL December 2003 - March 2004 Those are the only two. Strangely they were both in a row. Except the Daum OSL 2007 thread says that in the Fall 2000 Freechal Open it was (P)Garimto > (ZP)Skelton. Skelton played Zerg and Protoss that series? Did he always play both or something? If so I guess that counts as a partial third. | ||

Even if it was true (it may, I dunno, never really bothered watching to much PvP - this is one thing I agree with Etter on - the special olympics of BW), so EVEN IF it was - who cares? It's not like he's going to become champion by that match-up alone. Not only is PvP almost as much of a roulette as ZvZ - it's also the least common mirror match-up nowadays. Granted, this MSL finals is an exception, but I still doubt Stork will be able to sail far on his PvP boat. Or any other boat actually - I just see him as too boring to ever be able to really clench the top prize. Second or third are places I can see him fit in perfectly tho. He's like the Protoss TheMarine to me. Let's see how wrong I'll be. -Mynock Even if Stork wins it won't make you "wrong". I'm just saying I'm really confident in his abilities. And yeah, his PvP record is super super good. So that's basically what I'm referencing as evidence. | ||

Even sAviOr has to play ODT next time, I hope he won't screw up. | ||

His group matches with all Terrans he went straight carriers in all of the games (and Boxer was just shaking his head after losing the final game). Now granted, I've only been watching progaming SC the past... oh, 3-4 months, so I can't really speak about anything before then. Also, Stork seems to have one upped him in boringness this in the semis for the time being.[/QUOTE] ... are you serious man? nal_ra is famous for so many things that ISNT related to macro... i am just at a lost of words. even though i am not a fan of nal_ra i respect him for being innovative with his builds and unique style of gaming... calling nal_ra a macro whore just shows how ignorant you are... even his games from the past 3-4 months, did you not see his build vs frozean i think where he went BOTH reaver and DT drops/harass? mind you he wasnt the best of terrans, but it just shows the unique playstyle nal_ra brings to the pro scene.... and hear hear for the hitman idea!! | ||

Just calling it like I see it. The last match I watched of him was on Monty Hall against UpMagic, and he went with what amounts to a fairly standard build and then dts. Monty Hall being the map most Toss try proxing, etc... he proceeded to get outmacroed for playing it a bit too standard on a map that one shouldn't play too standard on (oh, and he psi-stormed most of his troops midmatch XD). Haven't watched his game against frozean. I still have no idea why people find it so offensive that someone who has only been keeping track of progaming for 3 months might find Nal_rA bland. I'm entirely aware of his past. I haven't watched any of it (yet), granted. | ||

MSL: 7 Terran 5 Zerg 2 Protoss Total: 17 Terran 9 Zerg 8 Protoss 1 Random 4 zergs for osl? you probably count the korea open, that isn't generally considered a starleague. Of all msl and osl, only 2 finals so far were pvp, but it's also the case for tvt (1 osl, 1 msl) and zvz (2 msl) so it's a fairly balanced figure for mirrors. btw, in the freechal osl, Skelton played 1 game as toss against Garimto, because it was played on an island map iirc. he's really a zerg player, just that at the time he had the right to choose race and he probably took the chance to play a pvp instead of a zvp he was pretty sure to lose | ||
