In short Mani, you have missed what BackHo is about. Yes, he is awful. However I am not surprised that, when he does a build which is actually intended for PvZ and useful for the situation, he can destroy Jaedong. He is a very skilled player (albeit dependent on luck for which build he decides to use) and you underestimate him at the risk of your liquibet points. | ||

I obviously watched BackHo VODs, and I came to the conclusion that he is not a special player. Last night did nothing to change my mind. | ||

I must contest your conclusion that he is nothing special. He is unique in the same way that Boxer is. Boxer does innovative strategies that shouldn't work and somehow makes everything click. BackHo does bad strategies that simply do not work, combines them with insane multitasking, pushes his opponent to the brink and then implodes in a pile of 'epic fail'. While this hasn't proven effective he is definitely something special. Last night he played two games in which he didn't attempt a ridiculous strategy, the first was a perfectly executed rush against Jaedong. Sure, it was a rush build but there was absolutely nothing improvable about the way he used it. And that puts his record when using real build orders at a comfortable 1-0 which given it was against Jaedong isn't bad. The game against Casy wasn't long enough for him to hang himself with a display of awful strategy. Casy pushed him into a micro war and was just utterly outclassed. Admittedly he did scout Casy's bunker rush but even so, 3 zealots, a dragoon and some probes just wiped out those scvs and marines with no effort. I really believe that in a game where BackHo uses a real strategy there are very few players who could beat him. | ||

I feel like watching his games again. I also felt something was wrong about his play despite his wins but I didn't fully grasp it. Maybe your explanation is right. | ||

meanwhile, JD and Casy can either grow from this experience, or perish.... Having Nada in his team should help Casy. | ||

BackHo will probably fade away and never ever make it into another starleague again... meanwhile, JD and Casy can either grow from this experience, or perish.... Having Nada in his team should help Casy. I sure hope JD does. That must have been really frustrating for him. He probably should have scouted earlier vs. BackHo but everyone gets cheesed sometimes. Trick is not to get too upset over it. | ||

Near same builds vs the same player: Bisu Backho Backho has decent mechanics..but lets not forget he lost to CUTEANGEL on KATRINA on A HUGE advantage. Seriously..and lets not forget this genius move: Backho is a Nal_rock reincarnate. This is a cruel joke from the bw gods, once Nal_rock is ousted another one steps in to eliminate our favorites and do jack shit at the ro32. | ||

Casy is a messy haired terran and GGPlay is a neat trimmed zerg. This OSL was doomed to be unexpected. ROCK LEE FTW! | ||
