Patience would be one of the big names if i went all the way to final in DH W 2013 Quali --> ezpz group --> killing the lower bracket and yet falling short to 3'rd. One of my favorite runs in sc2 history. | ||

Heres the deal. 90% of games are meaningless drivel. How it is presented is 100% of the reason popular sports/esports exists. Most football games are crap, unless the marketing department/commentators make it look pretty. Most Boxing matches are boring, but its exciting when the narrative of the boxers is presented. Esports NEEDS more shit like this. It NEEDS more ways of presenting even "okay" games as something exciting. This article did that--this article is a godsend. | ||

Whoa whoa whoa, this was not an "okay" game. Did you not see the triple-pronged attack with BLord morphs, ultra drops, and army movement??? Did you not the literally constant ling/phoenix movement in the early game and the way each player subtly changed their strategies based on scouting? Did you not see the two INCREDIBLE fights that Jaedong somehow managed to claw an advantage out of? Did you not see the breathtaking, stunning arc of each player's game plan? There have been some good games after this, especially in the HerO vs. Polt series in the finals of this IEM. But without a doubt, this was one of the most amazing games I've ever watched. There is so much going on the entire game, and this was the first really, truly amazing game played on this map. How can you look at this game and not see these things? In my opinion, this game DEFINED the PvZ meta on this map. Both players did all of the perfectly right things and played out the mid game perfectly...I look at this game and wonder why anyone would play any other way. It's so beautiful. | ||

Well, I was being much more broad when I said that 90% of all games are crap. This specific game was absolutely amazing and anyone who dislikes it obviously either didn't watch it or didn't *watch* it. However, I know for a fact that a well written battle report will make even the dumbest one sided games sound like the stuff of legend. Heck, even a 4-0 roflstomp can, with enough eloquence, be made to sound like the most exciting moment of the year. This is not because Battlereports are better than live games, it is because battlereports can show you what was actually happening in a game. So not only do you know *why* the match was 4-0 but you can see what mistakes the players made that caused him to go 0-4, you can see just what the winning player saw that allowed him to go 4-0. Its a tough task, and but damn its an absolutely sexy product. | ||

 I haven't watched SC2 for a while now and it took some getting into. An ignorant person won't see the beauty in this game and even for an experienced person there's something to admire on second and third watch. + Show Spoiler [feedback] + The perspective concept is cool. I thought it could be a bit stronger still (more bold perhaps) where you'd exemplify information being hidden. Patience's piece was written a bit more .. negative (losing side) through out, but that was perhaps the reality. | ||
