people regularly call soccer the beautiful game, and love it to death. i never understood that until i came into the starcraft world. the depth, strategy of this game demand all of your attention, and i personally wouldnt have it anyway. When ever i read anything related to do with savior, my entire body breaks out in goosebumps. to have someone that much better, then everyone else.... there isn't words to describe it. | ||

1. Spelling and formatting issues are really painful. I have pretty low tolerance for that kind of stuff, so this was hard to read. 2. It seems like a book by hardcore fans for hardcore fans, and it's pretty impossible for everyone else to enjoy. I really liked the videos you posted here though. Lots of history to appreciate. | ||

I really liked the videos you posted here though. Lots of history to appreciate. I agree in the spelling/formatting as well as some of the writing structure. While I bought the book and think there is a ton of good information, there are major issues that make it very hard to read. What caught my attention was also the framing in that it starts in almost a textbook format, but then mixes in editorial opinions, like some chapters are journalistic while others are editorial. Overall though, I appreciate the effort. I would like to see a cleaned up, redone version though. | ||

Read it at least a few times over. Only the BW stuff is probably relevant now, there's a lot of sc2 stuff near the end but from what I remember it is probably hilariously dated now. | ||

Unfortunately it's one of those books that is bound to my memories and I'm not interested in selling. You should try to contact the author chobopeon. I think he used to be a regular on the site back in the BW days, maybe you can find someone who knows him personally or another way to contact him. | ||

I remember that I stopped reading it at some point, when he was basically just describing games in detail, which felt a lot like it was a filler to get more pages. Should maybe pick it up again and just skip the play-by-play descriptions. | ||

A shame the videos are long gone since they were pretty good. | ||
