The greatest players, those that I respect, always do everything not only to win but also to entertain the crowd. This is something that a lot of progamers failt to realize. Guess why Boxer has been always the most popular player, someone that everybody always desires to watch? Even way past his prime, when he was no longer relevant in terms of championship caliber players, he would make sure that his games are a one of a kind experience and the spectator would feel like watching him play wasn't a wasted time. Who wanted to watch duckduck games? Nobody, except some protoss players who were looking to steal an easy build in order to get some free ladder points. | ||

I agree that some people won't like Duckdeok's style but I disagree on this part. I don't play protoss, terran from like several months back if not more but I liked and didn't mind watching his games at all. He played the game to win. He didn't try to pander to the crowd. That last game against Innovation also shows he can mind game and his games against Maru show that he has one of the best micro we've seen from protoss players to date. I prefer watching his style over some other protoss players. | ||

I don't play Protoss like him at all, I'm a big fan of MC's since day 1 so you know how mad I was when he beat MC, but I like to watch finale play nonetheless. Sure he had a very limited range of build orders, but he knew how to deal with this weakness. Seeing his micro and his mindgaming about his own reputation in long series was just beautiful. He just tried very hard with what little he had. We don't always need a legendary guy doing incredible feats. Sometimes the embodiment of the shounen spirit is inspirational too. | ||
