Removing double elim is probably the biggest factor. iloveoov's reign started in the Trigem MSL, where was knocked in the FIRST ROUND by Nada, only to claw his way through the loser's bracket and win 3-1 against Nada and take the tournament with a 3-0 against Yellow. Unfortunately there are no records if Nada/Boxer came from the losers bracket or not. Anyone who votes maps is clearly forgetting Savior. Reverse Temple and Longinus 2 were far worse for zerg than Colosseum and Tiamat (Savior just singlehandedly inflated their stats and certain post-Savior have no brains aside from inconsistent Luxury). Maps were not why Jaedong lost, he just isn't comparable mentally. Bisu was the same. Losing 1 MSL in his worst matchup didn't spell his collapse, but his lack of mental domination afterwards did. And I agree with this. As I said in Kennigit's blog, a bonjwa is not so much as being above everyone else as thinking he's above everyone else.Bisu had that mindset for a while, but he lost it. He didn't lose his skill, but he lost his confidence in them. I hope his putative resurgence holds (so I can hate him again. ) | ||

So I don't understand: why does Savior have so many die-hard fans compared to other past greats? I guess having a 97% winning rate during your prime is Godly. I was also thinking of why is he special because I started following the scene after Flash won Bacchus and I saw a tribute vid to sAviOr. 97% win rate is just the shit right there. And yeah, the only Terran that was only to stand up to him during his prime was Midas right? | ||
