NaDa was contained in the top left by Boxer all game. Boxer had such a bead on Nada's ships that he might as well have played with vis on. It was a rediculous display of BW prowess. NaDa has one last chance to break out of this containment and tries to doom drop Boxer's main. First he needs something to distract the anti air for his ships.
Sooo... Step 1: Use your minerals.

That is the Nada EBAY float that was truely spectacular in its failure, and made Boxer look all godlike. To be fair, Boxer scanned the ebays just after they lifted, so he has ample time to prepare.

Quiz #2: Which map gives P the best chance in PvT?
A) Nostalgia
B) Luna the final
C) Shin Peaks of Baekdu
D) Ride of the Valkyries
E) 815
+ Show Spoiler [Answer] +
The correct answer is Shin Peaks of Baekdu.
815 = PvT: 6-7 (46.2%)
Luna the Final = PvT: 8-8 (50%)
Nostalgia = PvT: 24-28 (46.2%)
Ride of the Valkyries = PvT: 17-18 (48.6%)
Shin Peaks of Baedku = PvT: 22-14 (61.1%)
An interesting point is that once 815 was remodeled and changed to 815 III, the balance went to hell and Protoss rampaged over Terran 18-7.

Quiz #3: The player on ACE with the highest career winning percentage is:
A)forU
B)MuMyung
C)Boxer
D)Rage
E)HOT-Forever
+ Show Spoiler [Answer] +
Your answer to question three is H.O.T.-Forever! For those of you thinking it was a trap, that is correct, Boxer has the second highest winning % of the team. That being said, he has many more games played. Let's take a look at the two front runners:
H.O.T.-Forever:
Record:
All: 103-73 (58.52%)
ZvT: 37-30 (55.22%)
ZvZ: 40-28 (58.82%)
ZvP: 26-15 (63.41%)
Boxer:
All: 233-174 (57.25%)
TvT: 61-52 (53.98%)
TvZ: 110-54 (67.07%)
TvP: 62-68 (47.69%)
I would like you to, for a moment, examine Boxer's TvZ record though. He easily has the best single MU % of anyone who has played more than 50 games in the MU. Considering he is on his way to 200 TvZ, the record is just astounding.
Here is the team totals for ACE:
BoxeR T 57.25%
ChRh T 45.45%
Clon Z 40.32%
DaezanG P 50.94%
fOru P 46.67%

Quiz #4: In Shinhan 3, who won more of the TvZ matchup?
A) Terran domination.
B) Zerg Infestation.
C) Neither, they tied.
+ Show Spoiler [Answer] +
Terran... domination? Well perhaps I suffer from a little embelishment. Terran did indeed win the matchup, however it was a razor thin margain, 25-24. Things would have been much more lopshided, however the champion Savior smashed his way through NaDa and Iris to bring a measure of respectability to the overmind.
A) 5
B) 13
C) 18
D) 30
E) 44
My Bad! I forgot the most recent 3 games! Attention to details.. ATTENTION TO DETAIL SIR! (For the record there were 69 games played, and only 6 have not had a terran player. Terran is also owning zerg 80% of the time and is almost as good vs protoss. What a shit map.)
Let me try again...
Quiz 5: Nal_rA has a winning record vs all these Terran players but 1. Who?
A) Boxer

Your answer is... Midas! Yes the happy terran is the onyl one of these five stellar players to have a winning record vs the Flower Toss. Here are the respective records:
Nal_rA vs Boxer 11-5
Nal_rA vs Canata 2-0
Nal_rA vs Midas 2-3
Nal_rA vs GoodFriend 6-3
Nal_rA vs Sync 3-0
Nal_rA vs Boxer 11-5
Nal_rA vs Canata 2-0
Nal_rA vs Midas 2-3
Nal_rA vs GoodFriend 6-3
Nal_rA vs Sync 3-0
Overall Nal_rA sports a sparkling record of 79-49, or 62% vs the human race.
Quiz #6: In how many StarLeagues (OSL + MSL) have protoss players outnumbered zerg players?
A) 0
B) 1
C) 3
D) 5
E) 7+
+ Show Spoiler [Answer] +
The answer is... Five! Which means only 17% of you are really very smart.
For the record, the five StarLeagues were:
1. GOMTV MSL Season 2

(7): Child, GoRush, JJu, JulyZerg, Nal_keke, OversKy, sAviOr

(5): H.O.T-Forever, KisS)JinSu, Side_LeGenD, sigamari, YellOw
(6): EJi, Garimto, IntoTheRainBOw, Reach, SONJJANG, Zeus
It is interesting to note that only recently has protoss really come on. I am sure this result will spawn massive amounts of ZvP imbalance threads.

A) 8-0

+ Show Spoiler [Answer] +
Do you doubt the irresistible force that is iloveoov? Nobody, past or present, has ever dominated like iloveoov. That is right, 27-0, twenty-seven - donut is the correct answer. Nobody had stats like oov when he was tearing up the MSL.
His streak lasted from June of 2003 to July of 2004. The player to do it? None other than his new teammate, JulyZerg. In one of the most amazing 5 game series in one of the greatest OSL tournaments ever, July stopped iloveoov in game two of the best-of-five on Nostalgia.

Quiz 9: Which map and matchup has historically been the most imbalanced? (All maps have a min. 10 games in that mu)
A) Mercury, PvT
B) Enter the Dragon, ZvT
C) R-Point, TvZ
D) Sin Gaema Gowon, PvT
E) Neo Forte, ZvP
+ Show Spoiler [Answer] +
The answer is... Enter the Dragon! This match was a zerg graveyard as Terran walked away with an 18-7 (72%) record. Factors that led to this was a natural that was far far away, no gas anywhere, and only two possible positions. Terrans loved it.
