Savior (Z-CJ) VS Iris(T-CJ)
+ Show Spoiler +Game 1 Savior < Iris @ Neo Arkanoid Game 2 Savior > Iris @ Reverse Lost Temple Game 3 Savior > Iris @ Longinus II Game 4 Savior < Iris @ HitchHiker
Game 5 Savior < Iris @ Neo Arkanoid Game 5 Savior > Iris @ Neo Arkanoid (HOLY FUCK)
Savior 3:2 Iris Savior With everyone gunning for him, even the mapmakers, Savior always seems to find a way to win, whether it be 4-pools, "maphacking," ordefiler rushes. Deliberately, inexorably, Savior marches on. He is now three wins away from capturing his fourth MSL and becoming a Royal Roader in the OSL.
His dominance and mastery of the game is considered at one of the highest levels of all time, and by winning this OSL, the last place where he still needs to prove himself, Savior can take a step towards staking the claim that he is the best player in the history of Brood War. Can the Maestro work his magic one more time?
Iris Iris has been consistently good, but a bit shaky in television games. His Zerg teammate gets all the attention, but he has definitely stepped out of Xellos' shadow as the premiere Terran player on CJ Entus. He now has an opportunity to accomplish something no Terran has done for years: beat Savior in a Bo5.
Iris has nothing to lose, and nobody expects him to win. But standing in front of him are slightly favorable maps and a teammate's knowledge of Savior's play that no other Terran has. If he wins, he plays his best matchup in the finals. Will Iris finally break through?

If Iris wins today I wouldn't think of him as favourite in the final against Nada, who in TvT lately has all guns blazing.

Forget the fact that they are named players. Iris has repeatedly shown TvT dominance for what? The last how many matches? I hope he wins now just so he can make Nada's asshole bigger than Savior would've made it.

i really really like iris alot!
he's so consistent in getting to the round of 8 (and never getting any farther). He's like the old man you say hello to every day when you're walking to work. he's just ALWAYS there, and he's absolutely precious.
go iris, you adorable terran you
i believe! (i was trying to find a picture of the iris of an eye, but as i suddenly remember, iris is also a flower. thank you google image search)
|
Iris better than NaDa? In a best of 5?
Anyway, Savior will win this 3-0 or 3-1 or 3-2. Then NaDa will beat him 3-0 (unless I pay NaDa to lose).

Iris defeated who? Zergman? - yeah, that's fucking monster GGplay? - yeah, sure, best zerg alive, huh? some other nonames gimme a break
Iris is just going to be destroyed 0:3 by Saviour It's not going even to be funny

^ the people were talking about TvT dominance. Last time i checked, zergman and ggplay weren't terrans.
and yes, IriS holds the best TvT winning percentage for 2006.

1. Iris 20-6 76.9% 2. Nada 20-7 74.0% 3. Casy 18-10 64.2% 4. Midas 16-9 64.0% 5. iloveoov 16-11 59.2% 6. Sea 6-6 50.0% 7. Xellos 10-13 43.4% 8. Hwasin 6-8 42.8% 9. GoodFriend 12-17 41.3% 10. Light 7-10 41.1%
'nuff said?

No doubt Iris is monster TvTer. So far this OSL he beated ForGG in group stage and GoodFriend 2-0. But Nada show his superior TvT this OSL too: loss Oov, win Dongrae 2-0, win FireBatHero, win Light, win Up 2-1, win Casy 3-2. Tough choice but I'll go with Nada if happens to be the final.
|
1. They are all starleague caliber players. 2. They can all fuck eachother up. 3. Yes, some at higher percentages than others. 4. Iris has proven he can take down anyone in TvT. Yes, Nada can as well.
Long story short. No matter who advances, the finals are going to be badass.

NO for sure
Try to understand that quality>quantity
And I'm pretty sure NaDa has better TvT win% overall (and he played much more TvTs in his career and with stronger opponents too)
|
NaDa will destroy savior >.<!
|
Um you mean because Iris has pretty much usually dominated his opponents TvT? Whereas Nada hasn't shown THAT kind of TvT dominance in ages. Nada is definitely top level TvT, but Iris is on another level. But like Testie said whoever makes it, the finals is going to be sick. This is one of the best sets of Top 4 players in the OSL for sure.
I'm still convinced whoever wins this is a favorite vs Nada.

Iris is one of the most underestimated player. Wait guys, he'll show something soon.

no one doubts how good nada's TvT is.. in fact I'd bet on nada is Iris somehow got through. What is ignorant is how little you think of Iris' TvT.

iris is unquestionably #3, and all three of them are a cut above the rest
iris only really played lower tier terrans in 2006 because he repeatedly got sent to minor league
casy or nada would be favoured in best of five against him without a doubt, iris is good at timing attacks and both casy and nada are too good at reading the opponent to really be put too far behind, nada moreso than casy. Casy's overall TvT management is just better.
This is where i recommend watching the players and their games instead of pulling up numbers and only looking at that. Nada only has ONE more loss than Iris anyway, and Nada's average opponent is stronger than Iris'

I didnt bring up his record, but where can I find it?
@FS: I think the fact that Iris keeps beating people TvT soundly shows that he IS at a very high level. His TvT is definitely just not timing attacks, I think he just has a really good understanding of positioning in this matchup a long with game sense.
|
Valhalla18444 Posts
Keep in mind I agree Iris' TvT is really good
and yeah he beats people well but again they're lower-grade competition in most cases. you'll find that iris' 6 losses are all against casy/nada/oov, and his wins contain very little with those players involved. Whereas Casy and Nada's TvT contain lots of games against the top players, except for Iris

Don't understand why you think Nada or Casy is better than Iris. See a winning rate. It tells everything and you are just on the player who you like.

because i watch games and understand what i am seeing
why is this difficult for you

none of this matters cos savior is going to win and then nada will crush him

oh man..........
So u basically telling us that when you and I will play 100 TvTs games vs Iris and lose all of them he will have 200-0 100% record
In the same time NaDa will play 100 games vs Casy and 100 games vs iloveoov He will win approximately 110 games out of 200 So he will have 110-90 55% record
It will look like NaDa is newb and Iris is a suprehero But in fact it's not real
|
Iris is 1-1 vs Nada, has a winning record vs Midas and a losing one vs Casy.
Testie pretty much summed it up at this level any player can fuck any other player on any day.
If they meet in a Bo5 it can go either way these 2 players are top TvT material.
|
Can't you just all agree that they would all have an equal shot at winning if they were to face eachother? Bringing the "Iris' percentage is better, so he would destroy NaDa" is total bullshit. Iris was 20-6, NaDa 20-7. The gap isn't big enough to bitch about it. I think NaDa and Iris are both better than Casy in terms of TvT. (I know I'll get flamed for this, but it's true.)
|
Valhalla18444 Posts
All we can say for sure is that its up in the air
We all have bias no matter how much we deny it, I can look at Nada and Iris indifferently but I can't say I'm qualified to judge Casy completely accurately

forget it guys, 30 mins to go, WOOT!
Oh, and btw Iris is not gonna win.

I dont see Iris winning this, so obviously its going to be 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 in Savior's favor (duh). A savior vs nada final would be great.
I never thought we'd see this sort of dominance by a player in current times. I thought starcraft had evolved so much and become so competitive now that it really wasnt possible.

Then you are wrong
Casy, Nada and Iris are pretty much on the same TvT level.
Then comes Xellos, Midas, Oov, Sea, Canata and GoodFriend (he used to be good )
Even taking a player from the second group and making him face one of the top3 he'll still have more then 30% chances of winning

mmm, maybe people will kill me for saying this but savior might actually lose... look at yesterdays games and more specifically the post match interview; savior is tired... does he have the mental and physical strength to win ANOTHER bo5? against a terran which will know his play better than anyone else? who has only had one mu to practice for ages
i dno guys.. but iris could pull it off =/ maybe 70-30 that savior wins imo

You just fail to understand that skills are not everything. There are players who CAN do it (such as NaDa) and there are players who CAN NOT (such as Iris)
Iris' second name is mediocrity He can hang with the best, but will always be 1 step behind He will never be the champ, he just don't have it
That is why I give NaDa 70% vs Iris. In friendly boX game, hell yeah, they are equal But in game for something (prize, advancing in tourney) NaDa's spirit gives him an edge
That's life

But Iris has definately what it takes to win a TvT finals against anyone out there. I don't understand why your opinion of him is so bad. Anything can happen in a Starleague final. Just take Anytime vs BoxeR during So1. Did Anytime have the experience? Hell no, he was a royal roader. BoxeR had the experience and still lost. GoodFrienD did incredibly well against July in the finals, despite the fact that TvZ isn't GoodFriend's best match up and that July had much more experience on the big stage.
Starleague finals are always unpredictable. IMO, Iris has been around for long enough to take any Terran on the big stage, even if he's never actually been on it. Anyway all of this is just pure speculation and day dreaming because Ma Jae Yoon is going to win tonight.

Yea. It will be settled. We'll see Iris vs Casy in the 3/4th place match anyway
|
Started :D The maps list actually has savior SMILING. :| When does that happen?

There are players who CAN do it (such as NaDa) and there are players who CAN NOT (such as Iris) Iris' second name is mediocrity He can hang with the best, but will always be 1 step behind He will never be the champ, he just don't have it That is why I give NaDa 70% vs Iris. In friendly boX game, hell yeah, they are equal But in game for something (prize, advancing in tourney) NaDa's spirit gives him an edge That's life I agree with you that NaDa would have a certain edge due to experience and such. But Iris has definately what it takes to win a TvT finals against anyone out there. I don't understand why your opinion of him is so bad. Anything can happen in a Starleague final.

Well some people play better and some people play worse in the finals. Most of the time they play better, but what matters is how much better are they than their opponent. Anytime, when he reaches finals, plays as good as any protoss out there ever. but in the group stages he look lackluster. i dont know why that happens, but it does.

ok, so how do you watch this? Isnt it starting?

savior expos above the coccoons @ his upper nat and iris expos south of his lower expo

hatch left of cocoons @ right nat for savior

Yes, saviors correct scouting percentage is now only 90%
|
saviour 3hatch before pool with 3rd hatch at the other expansion spot.

SAvior 1-0
Oh sorry.....didn't you know...
sorry.

IRIS MOVING IN TO KILL TEMPLES OUTSIDE SAVIOR
SAVIOR CHUCKING DOWN A SUNK!!
HAS LIKE 8 LINGS
TEMPLE DOWN
IRIS INNNN
|
saviour spire up and with a group of lings to defend but iris breaks in just in time and has killed a lot of drone
|
saviour has very few drones now and few muta alive. iris with a new army of mm coming down
|
briliant played by crater face
|
saviour's built up quite a number of muta now. maybe 10. iris adding another rax or 2.
|
vessel up for iris. 6th rax coming now. destroying neutral buildings to saviour's upper nat.
|
saviour tries a counter but loses all his lings and some muta to bunker and an irradiate. but that counter forced iris to retreat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
after killing the counter iris moves his army down to saviour and he tries some desperate muta ling attack vs 2 vessel and at least 2 groups of mm. iris > saviour.
|
gee gee iris knows his waknesses(if savior got such)
|
|
|
Lack of lurkers costed him the game.
|
Savior doesnt look that good anymore, he looked godly when he played Nada and Boxer in those SuperSeries, now he looks ordinary
|
actually iris timing was just too perfect
|
greedy play by saviour imo. he double expoed instead of placing the 3rd hatch at the temples for sunkens.
|
3-0 Iris, I believe! LOL :D
|
iris's timing worked out so well that game.
|
|

What is it exactly you expect him to look like? You expect to see 30 expansions all over the map and 10,000 units microed perfectly? His hive tech and counter last game were great, what is there you have to complain on? And last time I checked Savior always looks tired before games

Well.. this was an all-in counter of savior. He did not scout with a ling or 2 first to see whats the defence of iris. If there were 3 bunkers he would've been crushed.. Imo that was a big mistake. But there was only 1 bunker so he won. And btw, I do not say savior suxx, but he is not playing as good as we are used to see him play.

I understand what you're saying but seriously..you're the one whose sitting back on your ass watching these games seeing the whole maps and spewing crap out like you know better than them. 3 bunkers = 300 minerals plus 12 less rines being used that he probably needed. He would of likely needed to delay his attack to fill and build those bunkers. I don't know if what I'm saying is 100% right but seriously, why even bother saying 'oh more bunkers he would've held it'. Sounds so stupid

Even though Savior is having an off day its either 3-1 or 3-2 in favor of da BEAST zerg.

iris isn't killing savior's expos, he needs to either expand and hold it or start killing saviors extra bases

Still, this semi is a lot better than I expected.

lol omg... i was doing everything to try to get a live stream... like trying to register at naver and ogn..... when all i had to do was register at sc2. -_-

G5 i'm watching at sc2.org... not sc3
|
Iris is really being impressive for someone who's supposed to have an awful TvZ.. but savior is just too strong on longinus, he's on a 3 wins streak o_O;
|
Savior seemed disorganized until the end.. Iris I've never seen him before but he lost a lot of units from random lurkers throughout the map.. you'd think a pro would be a little more careful
|
that was a really great game by both players

I think his main problem is micro and decesion making. Like when goes for the obvious route with his MM groups into expos and Savior already has lurkers there waiting for him. his macro seems good enough though
|
iris just lost too much vessels, the rest was kinda perfect
|
WOW, saviors lurker placement and the way he played the map was so amazing. he had lurkers at every strategic point at all the right times, all the while handling iris's attack so beautifully every time.

So true, Savior is a scourge abuser (Vessel and Dships) and a Swarm abuser

If that was nada playing savior would be raped. He better be saving his best for last.

Iris had just great starting BO in this game, it was almost perfect against sAviOr. It could've easily been killed by lurkers first, but sAviOr went for mutas, and as more of mutas were added to first 5(which were repelled by rines), irradiate was alerady up. Savior was saved by his great lurker placement, but there were two really close moments in the game: 1)First tanks+vessels attack, savior got time for defiliers by catching 2 vessels with scourges. 2)Firebats owning lurkers under swarm(savior strangely burrewod them by one at a time). This time savior got plague in time, otherwise his 2 gas expo could've benn pwned. And the time for plague was bought by awesome lurker placement before, otherwise Iris would've made this attack much earlier.

oh fuck anyone else's stream starting to lag?

it's not the fast expo thats the problem, its if you go 1 rax cc you give zerg NO pressure for the first 8 minutues of the game it's really ridiculous. Vs 1 rax cc if zerg times it well he can build 0 sunkens with fast gas 3 hatch mutas and use backstabbing lings to prevent terran from going to your natural, that's one example of a lot of things zerg can do with no defense early game. It's like protoss FE pretty much except with no +1 and if protoss seals himself in with gates

Iris still lifts fac and builds a vult. Savior got some lings in the narrow part.
|
about 10 speedlings run down to iris' ramp but he gets a 2nd scv there in time
|
vult micro easy owns 5 lings.

finally some nice vult micro of iris

that's may be for several reasons: - savior doesn't want to show his unusual builds cause he will have to play Nada on these maps - savior knows that playing straight is a good chance of winning over his well known teammate - savior is to tied for the fancy shit

after owning so many lings, iris finally loses his vulture to a drone.

another useless muta harass.

if saviors stays muts only he will get raped .. probably
+ irridate is fucking weak vs saviors muts he never loses more than 1.. T_T
|
Nice split of the mutas this time. He had opportunities to practise -_-
|
that was so unlucky for iris lol

Iris the master of Irrad Rush?

awesome build by iris but savior..sunkens are timed perfectly

this bo was so nice.. and the vults did exactly what they were supposed to do they bought so much time and costed savior so much eco.. ( lings / no mining )
|
Damn, just why sAviOr wasn't going LURKERS first? Mutalisks were no use at all, irradiate fcked them and with 1 base Iris neendn't any turrets.

That's the best build order to abuse this map ever. Goes fast tech so opponent will go 2 hat muta, and gets insanely fast irradiate as counter. Sends vultures to harass so opponent will have to waste a lot of larva and will have a weak economy.
Follows up with unstoppable push in the middle where flanking is impossible.
Nice strat.

oh i agree with both of you whole heartedly. I've followed iris around since the beginning
perhaps i should clarify a bit:
Iris generally has some poor execution sometimes etc etc, but in his interview he said "I don't get nervous vs my teammates and play poorly" (something along those lines)
I feel like (for once) a progamer's words about his own play are completely accurate. It seems like iris is calm playing someone he's so familiar with. In this semi-final, i feel that iris has been playing beautifully
props to iris seriously. Its like everyone gets to see this hidden gem of iris's skill now that he's comfortable

2 hat muta isnt the only counter to t fast tech tho. on this map u can 3 hat hydra no lair...its purely defensive but still can take u to mid/late game

No, Savior is holding on and I think he has the advantage. He LOOKS like he is losing because he was saving for drop tech, I think, since he now has an extra expo. .
|
NO IT ISNT CONSTANT PRESSURE FROM IRIS SUCCESSFUL DROOP BY SAVIOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!

|
IRis got so much respect from me now..
|
10 correct votes on row THX !
|
Iris just doesnt have the multitasking for such a long games with so many untis.
|
Probably the best series ive ever stayed up late to watch. 2 great series in 2 days. Damn Savior is on a roll like crazyyyyyy.

FUK THE MAP MAKER !!! I Wanna said that, AND U, UNBELIEVEABLE !! Savior GOOD BLESS U !!!

yeah, but i dont think thats because iris was careless. its just that saviors scourges and lurkers always seem to drag the units to them. just sick to see. seems to be lucky maybe the first times, but it happens all the time lol
extremely good game. iris has proven to be an extremly good tvzr as well for those who doubted
|
I think from now on Iris is going to play a whole lot better. This could be a huge, huge turning point in his career.
|
thx to all who participated in commentating the series, especially game 5. you made it worth reading, and i must see the games for myself. thx once again, and savior for the osl+msl
|
please someone do subtitles for that game^^

Aotearoa39261 Posts
bring back stork, iris is his bitch !
|
Never quit, never ever.
Great play by Savior, and this is one of the best comebacks ever.
|
Gotta admit, Iris pushed savior much harder than I thought he would.
|
3 full running bases vs 3 half dead with low eco - into - bazillion sk balls vs like 3 hyds 2 lurks and PLAQUE into the proof that savior is an alien.
|
Savior almost lost because of one single moment, first time M&M get into his base, because lurkers were in wrong place. But after that...amazing! He showed great skill, patience, self-control and will to win. From now, the moment savior gets defiliers+plague on Arkanoid and survives first biiig attack(he barely did it, and it was similliar to his game with Nada), he is immortal.
|
yes.. but it could go either way..he could crash down and begin to suck or get really strong and arise..
and savior is yet still the man to prove that nothing is impossible and that the highest perfection of playing is almost reached.
|
Allthough it was a loss I think Iris is a winner after that serie of games.
|
have they showed the games stats yet? Im curious about how many units that died that game :D
|
that was the most fucking amazing comeback ever. i was so disappointed at several points bcuz i was SURE iris had won. but no, the story of the game was just that. whenever it was impossible, savior defended.
soooooooo reminiscent of the savior/nada game on arkanoid in superfight.
|
I'll remember this day when I'm an old man..so amazing
|
ok nothing to be ashamed of iris.. u played very well but the late game management was a tad too weak and savior is an alien ffs
|
Yea Aliens>mortals everyone knows that shit
|
savior's defense is ridiculous. his scourge and lurker seem to always be in the right place at the right time. and his defilers shoot off swarm and plague almost instantly. reinforcements always come to clean up. insane.. i knew his defense was good, but not like this...
|
Hong Kong20321 Posts
yeah holy shit once all that m&m and vessels and firebats and everything were in his base i thuoght SAVIOR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

savior owns! fuck you doubters! i believed savior EVERY FUCKING SECOND of that game
|
That game was amazing. All the last 3 BO5 have had at least one incredible game, it's a great time for SC.

Well if you are just looking at the last game. Otherwise he won two quick games and got owned on the two easiest maps for T by a large margin.
Also let the last game slip, if he had a little more patience or didnt fly 6 plagued science vessels next to hydras he woulda won that; ]

zerg is all about the management, savior is awesome, best zerg ever

Plague is so powerful omg

omg ive never ever seen that. Thats unbelievable...
|
They still belong to two totally different classes. No way Iris could be counted as an S class TvZer. The only reason for this close series is that Savior is really exhausted. Great job by him though, my greatest respect and congratulations. And I forgive him all the wins vs rA
|
I thought savior lost when Iris attacked savior's 7 oclock expo with that HUGE force he somehow came up with. Savior defended with some ridiculous defiler usage. Then, they show iris's 6 expo destroyed by hydras. Man what a game by both players.
Oh and is there such thing as stop marines?? lol I dont think i ever saw marines just sit there and not attack the drones. After the first attack on savior's base, 2 mariens were left behind the minerlas of the bottom expo. Savior put drones back on minerals but those 2 marines just sat there. They later show it again and all the drones are dead.

savior lost like 100 drones alone this game. How the hell did he get most of his drones back?

1) I'll never talk smack about Iris again, I am truely and thoroughly impressed
2) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
|
We should open Savior fan club here on tl.net. :D
But honestly, who would have expected Savior to win that game. Savior made it . I can`t express how happy I am. In the end, best of luck to Iris, good play. I always thought his tvz is not as bad as people say.

YES, really i didnt get that one. It seemed to me that he cleared the place with hydras, then those 2 rines appeared from nowhere to own the drones once again

fucking shit i missed the whole thing, 2 days in a row.

judging from iris's very very good performance just now i would say that he is an S class TvZer...but Savior is an SS class ZvTer.. lol

It wish MSL and OSL would make an agerement to have 2 weeks difference between two finals. That would be fair toward Savior. And I want Nada to beat rested Savior, not the exhausted one.

I think we all are more excited about osl finals.
However, Savior is clear favorite vs Bisu.

There is no way Iris has S class TvZ. Do you not realize savior is his teammate and he knows him very well? That and some good openers is what made this series. His micro and late game management still stink. He still has a shitty record TvZ. The end

savior doesn't need a break if its fucking zvp, he will own bisu in his sleep and then prepare for the ridiculously close OSL finals
bisu will win exactly how many games they play on DF

Hong Kong20321 Posts
haha well as for records you cant really do anything about it if he wasn't S class before but from his performance today he did very fucking well i didnt really see any obvious micro mistakes from iris though :\ dunno

if savior is god of starcraft, Iris is most definitely god of timing attacks and specialized build orders

take your hypocrisy and shove it
repeat: iris played great.

I mentioned before that Savior is a god, he controls the game. When he loses, he loses because he wants to. Of course that is bullshit, it was a joke. What I really meant to say is that we haven't seen the true limits of Savior's power.
Someone mentioned, Iris had nothing to lose, all to gain, Savior had everything to lose. Well.. I don't think that worked out in Iris' favor.
Due to the early game advantage Iris got, and this being the final game, pressure started mounting on Savior. While on the other hand, Iris started slacking because 1. he had nothing to lose, 2. he always sags a little after early game 3. he had the advantange.
To beat Savior, you have to match his determination throughout the entire game. Iris couldn't. This is what allowed Savior to come back.
BTW They both played absolutely amazing, I can't believe you guys are hating on either of them.

I said he had good openers, is that not how he won BOTH THE GAMES HE DID? Seriously, wow. Yes he played better than I thought but now all of a suddon he's a tvz god? First game he won was with a great timing rush = opener. The other game he won was with another good opener with the vult harass and 1 base strat. Then all he did was roam through the middle with MM and tanks and gg. I gave him credit for what he's good at. But I actually watch all these fucking games and know where he sucks and he does in many areas. good day sir

am i the only person here that doesnt like savior?

Braavos36362 Posts
he played great relative to his strengths and weaknesses, obviously. he made generally good decisions and BOs for the entire series, and yes his late game micro and management is suspect but he played to his strengths very well and was overall quite impressive. he pushed savior harder than any terran has so far, so close to winning decisive game 5. to dismiss all that with a "he sucks" is just ignorant.

NADA I BELIEVE

It doesn't look like we're arguing much. All I'm trying to say is when you really look at the games..iris just simply isn't at that level yet. He has the macro, the openers, just not the execution or the micro. if you really look at all his games you can see how much he fucks up. Luckily though in TvT and TvP he doesn't need such good micro and lightning decesions so he excells in them.

I was one of the ones that didn`t like him. But when I saw his determination, execution, micro, strategy, game understanding and the was he thinks, oh God. I thought to myself wow this guy is awesome.
edit:
In final I will root for NaDa because he is old school, and he is so long on top. I want him to be the first one to beat Savior. After that, Savior can have 546616 osl titles.

no i was talking to GoBOXERgogo, who imo was being overly critical of iris. you may not think he's S class TvZ but he played like it this series.

Ya, it's much worse than "sheep" or "bandwagon followers" because non-conformists are not only illogical (like the former) but also by definition hypocrites.
Actually, I think a lot of people do genuinely like savior because of his play style, and a lot of people genuinely dislike him because of his demeanor (or also his play style).

but then again... footballer commentators can say how much crap some players are.... so we should be able to say some players are crap? considering some of those commentators are overwieght?

well one of the reasons savior went 5 games these last two days was is unconventional build orders. in game 5 vs iris he went 1 hat muta and yet still won - that's amazing. he's also been 9 pooling and 2 hatching a lot more. perhaps these are due to the maps, or just the fact that they are semi-finals. in any case, his specialization is 3 hat, and when he doesnt 3 hat the games are closer. but still savior manages to pull a win, which goes to show how good he is.

well basically theres 2 sides to this. basically that :
outside spectators' judgements of the players are valid
or not, because we haven't / can't even played the game to their level. O_o;;

Good that OSL has match for 3rd place. Now we shall all see which one is better Iris or Casy.

I knew Savior was gonna win but Iris performed better than expect oh impressed.
|
If you would have exchanged iris with NaDa in the 5th game, after the early game savior wouldnt have won.
Still this was just awesome and totally inspiring. I still cant really say what i feel all about this game. If i try to write some things down all the scenes rush into my mind and im just still so excited and basicaly laughing and shaking my head..
Savior was so close to losing, but he microed, macroed , expanded, perfectly set swarms, plagues , dropped, did the right decisions.
One scene for example was just such a perfect example. 20 m&ms fight vs ~ 12-20 hyds. 8 vessels or so are above the m&m's . Savior fights , stays fighting, loses one hyd after the other, suddenly second after second scourges come flying in and when the last scourge kills the vessel , the last hydra dies and iris has no vessels left. THe observers go back to saviors expos and mains and u see some defilers some lings some hyds ans some lurks. That and many other actions are just so amazing if u have a clue of bw...
His ability is just awesome..
and after all these anthems for savior a little small thing
Who knew ipxzerg ; savior[gm] 2000 ? No one. 01?02?03?04?05? When did Savior start owning it up ? Well i dont know exactly.. When did NaDa start owning it up and still being around at the top forever ? 02 ? I dont know exactly, and i dont even care when nada started his professional play, but i just want to remind u of one thing : Savior right now has the best play and is right now the most amazing and best player to watch. He is successful like only Grrrr, Boxer, Iloveoov and NaDa have been before. YOu can add July maybe..
But until Savior cant show me that he will play at the top as long as NaDa i wont call him the best player of all time.
Right now for me its like that :
The Oldschool Legend and first real pro gamer; the best player for a long time and the pre replay gosu : Grrrr... almost forgotten by some, still a Legend
The One , The gamer who made the game the most popular , who just had the biggest impact on the game, ever : Boxer, the legend, the Emporer, the King
The most successful and probably the best Terran in terms of gaming skills, ever. Almost perfect at every match up not showing any weakness, be it macro , micro or strategy. He is the player to stay at the top and around the top for the longest time. NaDa isnt ruling for a year or two like oov or july. NaDa isnt just good in his prime like Boxer, Grrrr.., Garimto, oov, anytime, july .. which all lost a little bit of their touch, couldnt keep up or retired; NaDa is just around for all the time and he almost always rocks..
After finishin the praises for Savior vs NaDa. One last thing :
The Final is the perfect final, imho. NaDa is the consitency in person and savior the arising force which is looking invincible and totally out of control, raping everything.
=)
=)
gG's and <3 iris for his effort <3 Savior for this game, thank you and <3 NaDa for everything

My favorite Terran since Boxer quit vs my alltime favorite player.
FUCK WHAT A SERIES, have to DL this shit.
One thing is clear though and Imho noone whos got his wits together can deny---
Savior has the greatest stamina of any player ever in the history of BW. His battleing through these 5 games a day + all games in Superfight... crazy.
Savior's mental strength and attitude are sick. The man just won't break. Let's hope he can keep up with this physically.
Iris <3. I've been rooting for you for the last 2 seasons and I <3 you but it was vs the Maestro man!
Fuck I love Iris, but damn I love Savior even more. Awsome shit last 2 weeks and what a MSL/OSL season, seriously, crazy shit and the best games ever. One for the books. (both:p)

Savior fights , stays fighting, loses one hyd after the other, suddenly second after second scourges come flying in and when the last scourge kills the vessel , the last hydra dies and iris has no vessels left. THe observers go back to saviors expos and mains and u see some defilers some lings some hyds ans some lurks. That and many other actions are just so amazing if u have a clue of bw...
His ability is just awesome..
and after all these anthems for savior a little small thing
Who knew ipxzerg ; savior[gm] 2000 ? No one. 01?02?03?04?05? When did Savior start owning it up ? Well i dont know exactly.. When did NaDa start owning it up and still being around at the top forever ? 02 ? I dont know exactly, and i dont even care when nada started his professional play, but i just want to remind u of one thing : Savior right now has the best play and is right now the most amazing and best player to watch. He is successful like only Grrrr, Boxer, Iloveoov and NaDa have been before. YOu can add July maybe..
But until Savior cant show me that he will play at the top as long as NaDa i wont call him the best player of all time.
Right now for me its like that :
The Oldschool Legend and first real pro gamer; the best player for a long time and the pre replay gosu : Grrrr... almost forgotten by some, still a Legend
The One , The gamer who made the game the most popular , who just had the biggest impact on the game, ever : Boxer, the legend, the Emporer, the King
The most successful and probably the best Terran in terms of gaming skills, ever. Almost perfect at every match up not showing any weakness, be it macro , micro or strategy. He is the player to stay at the top and around the top for the longest time. NaDa isnt ruling for a year or two like oov or july. NaDa isnt just good in his prime like Boxer, Grrrr.., Garimto, oov, anytime, july .. which all lost a little bit of their touch, couldnt keep up or retired; NaDa is just around for all the time and he almost always rocks..
After finishin the praises for Savior vs NaDa. One last thing :
The Final is the perfect final, imho. NaDa is the consitency in person and savior the arising force which is looking invincible and totally out of control, raping everything.

Professional bw is more balanced (in terms of skill) right now than ever before. The differences in skill are so minute, any pro can beat any other pro on a regular basis. For savior to make the MSL and OSL finals at the EXACT same time (meaning he has to practice more maps and matchups than any of his opponents) is ridiculous.
By the way, I hope you guys stop criticizing iris so harshly now. You don't get that high on kespa by accident.

^ You mean like the fact they didnt see each other's strats? Read Savior's interview. According to that Iris just has problems playing live.
|
Iris had him by the throat and frickin' CHOKED. He let it get away and yes his live woes continue.

GG to both. Korean Progaming at its best. In the interview SaviOr recognized the skills of his opponent. And I respect SaviOr for that. May the best Korean Progamer win. GL NaDa and SaviOr.

AUGH. I put my faith in Iris' ability to NOT CHOKE because it's his teammates and he shouldn't be nervous, and he loses after massacring most of savior's drones etc etc. TT

OMFG... Just watched all the games...
I have to say, game 5 was THE MOST INTENSE GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN IN BW... Both players fought with all they got every single second... 10 things going on at once, with units EVERYWHERE... WAVES AND WAVES of SKTERRANBALLS, picked apart one by one by Savior... Insane.... I'm seriously breathless...
GAME OF THE YEAR

Wtf? Iris didn't choke. He played well to the end. I have never seen a player who can let his mnm live and macro at the same time. Savior also whipped out some very accurate plagues. Iris had good macro early-mid, not so great micro, but I think that's the best TvZ I've ever seen from him. savior susceptible to mass vessels??????? i think savior killed more vessels in his bo5s with iris and hwasin than other zergs kill in a lifetime. seriously, did you see how many he picked off with plague + hydras or cloned scourge? savior handles vessels amazingly. since you said you watched the games, i can only assume that you haven't played much zvt and realized how insanely powerful vessels are. its like dealing with crackling drops as a protoss or dark swarm as a terran. sometimes you just can't do anything about it.

As I've said Iris has not so good micro, and SKTerran is like the most micro intensive build in TvZ. That's why Savior has killed I think all of Iris' vessels. Have someone with good micro in that situation and the Veseels will last longer someone with good micro? did you catch the games vs hwasin? hwasin has very pretty tvz micro and savior ate his vessels. how about nada? do you remember the neo arkanoid game in the superfight and how well savior plagued and handled those vessels then?
|
flame !? what are u, some fucking idiot ?
( hopefully some guys understand this post )
|
you dont become the best zvt player to ever play the game without dealing with science vessels incredibly well.
you dont achieve a record like savior has vs nada by handling vessels poorly.
|
|
|
how long your vessels last depends heavily on the game at hand. iris played extremely aggressively, his vessels were always in saviors face. he was attacking the entire game. your vessels aren't going to last very long if you play that way. it was a style difference, not a skill difference there.

Braavos36362 Posts
wasabi, my point was that any time a terran player gets a critical number of vessels (as iris was able to due to him being so far ahead early/midgame in game 5) it will be hard for the zerg to deal with it
so saying "yeah, savior is susceptible to mass vessels" as if its some undiscovered weakness is pointless, because theres no zerg that is NOT "susceptible to mass vessels"
it's just that savior rarely lets the terran get that huge a cloud of them
and does anyone remember the nada v savior superfight arkanoid game where nada had 10+ vessels at several points during that game? and who won?

Has anyone ever won MSL and OSL the same season ?

QFT. The fact that Iris kept pushing his vessels in Savior's face was one of the reasons he did so damn well.

Wow! I just finished watching the VODs. Iris is no joke, he pushed Savior to the limit and the final match on Arkanoid was one of the best of this OSL. Savior is looking strong, but he's proven in his last to TvZ b05's that he's not invincible. I'm gonna say that it's about 50:50, him vs. NaDa.
Something I've noticed in Savior's last to TvZ wins (Iris and Hwasin). His odds of winning seem to be directly proportionate to the amount of damage he does with his muta harass. All the games where the Terran blocked his mutas well, he lost.

haha well i think its safe to say that when a zerg does a successful or very successful muta harass in their games (good examples would be yellow[arnc] vs iloveoov on hitchhiker, savior vs midas on hitchhiker, many many julyzerg trademark muta harass games) it sets back the terran and also gives enough time for zerg to expand around the map or depending on the zerg player's style safely build up lots of units and set off to finish up the rest of the game.
when the muta harass doesnt deal enough damage or doesnt keep terran in base it just... imho, set back the zerg a bit and gives terran higher chance to win.
osmething like that.. :| hope i dont get jacked -.- a lol

Just watched game 5.
OH MY FUCKING GOD...
Never, ever, I'll say anything bad about Iris. He does have 50% training wins vs savior, I do believe it now.
|
not only was game 5 EPIC, there were also some unforgettable moments...
1. Iris dropping at 7' expo with 2 dropships... FULL OF FUCKING SCVS... You can hear the fans screaming before the drop, and when they saw what was in it, everyone goes WTF? and start laughing and groaning... One of BEST spontaneous moments in SC I've ever seen...
2. Savior's 4 hydras and 2 scourge intercept and obliterate THREE full dropships in one of the biggest turning points in the game
3. All those heart-stopping Science Vessel hunts... Savior plaguing 6-7 stacked sci vessels TWICE... 10 scourges perfectly cloned and destroying 6 sci vessels...
4. Iris' force of ~26 marines and medics and firebats inside of Savior's base while his zerg forces are scattered in little groups all over trying to regroup and counterattack...
5. Freshly made SKTerran balls marching all over the map every 2 minutes, looking unstoppable each time but somehow being picked apart bit by bit...
What an incredible game... This was just a cut above anything else I've seen recently...

I think Iris tried 120% here. The man is broken, no one expected him to do so well.
But at least now we know his TvZ potential, his timing vs savior was incredible. But then again, practicing against him time after time again, there is bound to be a pattern to recollect from. He played like a souped-up sync, and that's hard to come by.
|
On February 16 2007 16:49 Highways wrote: Iris was bad mannered after the game, didn't want to shake hands
I personally think he was crushed. I don't blame him even though it's team mates.
Honestly, I'm sure in his head, he thought 100% he won. I'm sure for an instant, he had flashes of him taking down Nada in TvT and becoming an OSL champ. Also, Iris has a long long starleague history. He's always been top 10, seriously, always top 10... but he never made it this far before... and he finally does.
I can't help but feel pain for Iris... at least he put up a heroic fight vs his teammate aka Progaming SuperVillianBoss.
|
I didn't expect it to get to 2-2, hearing all of you talk about Iris "really bad" TvZ. When it did I was worried savior might somehow lose to an inferior opponent..
Than I saw game 5
That was THE best vod I have ever seen. Savior could have typed gg quite a few times.. Iris played great. At some point savior desperately consumed mass DRONES for swarm with 2 lings inside there where so many brilliant things in this game. it was mad and it somehow worked... This man is a genius and I admire him. He also looked like a good person when he went to comfort Iris in the end. I just hope he doesn't hurt his eyes too much.
Seeing him fighting and not giving up no matter what's the situation, "creating" the victory even when it seems unachievable was really inspiring for me not just for SC..
This is the first time I was really moved by a SC match
|
Locke, a lot of eggheads on tl.net take one negative comment that one popular poster says and runs with it. Honestly, I think anyone that has ever seen more than 50 games realized Iris's TvZ isnt complete shit, his micro is just bleh. Other than that he usually has a good time.
|
For Iris to be a top contender in Starleague all the time his micro has to be atleast godly. If it's not godly, you don't get to Starleague And his control of the big balls of terran units as well. He just doesn't do awe inspiring moves like Casy I suppose but to say his micro is bleh is a crime against any terran in Starleague.
Every terran has moments where you've seen them lose units you thought they shouldn't have. No starleaguer is bleh. Not even mumyung.
|
they mean bleh relative to other starleaguers not bleh to everyone else or even bleh to other progamers. but ya iris' overall unit control is solid, small scale mmf micro could be improved though. if he had made those small drops/mm harasses do a small bit more damage (which was possible) in the 5th game he woulda won.

Actually most of the Savior fans are being bigger dicks, by driving out our words with, STFU, ITS NOT POSSIBLE FOR NADA TO WIN. When obviously he has the best shot of beating Savior out of anyone alive.
|
I don't even like nada that much. I'm more of a Yo-Hwan fan. But dismissing him with ALL HIS FUCKING ACHEIVMENTS HE HAS MADE THROUGH OUT HIS CAREER. Is utter bullshit.
|
What i dont understand is how some people criticize savior fan boys, when people like Sacajawea and prodigy stating "NAda is the greatest terran of all time" then one acting like a huge Nada fan boy, while the other acts like a "I hate savior so much" dont bite your own tongue, because both of you are acting exactly the same way the people you are complaining about, why dont just enjoy the show and talk later?
|
Boxer was ahead of his time when he made those achievements. (Seriously imbalanced maps Neo Blaze, Hall of Valhalla wtf, both his osl wins being tvzs...) Revolutionized the m+m, the emperor golden age began.
Nada was ahead of his time when he made those achievements. (Hell, if you look at his osl final games, poor chojja man, it was like watching a man-made wooden sword trying to plow a metal wall.) Introduced a less strategic, but more fluid micro/macro style terran.
Iloveoov, in his domination, put macro-economics and strategics to the highest level, everyone believed he was invincible.
Savior, by the looks of it, is the most dominant zerg that has ever surfaced.(Julyzerg, yeah, he was strong, but not "dominant" like savior.) Like a puppetmaster I would call his play.
Every era has it's leader, and I think this is Saviors. (I don't like savior much, but I'm expecting savior to win, 3-2 , 3-1, doesn't matter.)
OFC Nada does have a chance, maybe he'll play aggressive, and pull the same thing he did to win vs him on Blitz, non-stop aggression, just like Iris did today. I think Iris had the best chance out of any of the terrans mentioned, his timing was perfect for nearly all games, he knows how this man plays, but if he had Nada's multi-task and iloveoov's intuition, Iris would of beat him. The other players do not have the privilege of playing with him, probably every other day.

why is it obvious that nada is suddenly the most likely to beat savior when his results are poorer than others. fanbois
|
I didn't say nada is the greatest of all time, nore am I attacking people for liking a certain player. but its pretty much bullshit, when someone who may like nada says. "I think nada has a pretty decent shot of winning."
Then some faggot goes. "No he will lose". Or " Were you drunk while watching the games, NO WAY NADA CAN WIN!" You really can't say anything about nada being "good enough" to beat savior at all or you get your head bit off. I'll stop posting till the finals are played. Just wished Casy would of advanced, because I think I would of enjoyed his super-aggressive micromanagement style vs savior.

sorry but savior is playing very well and it is not ridiculous to cheer for him, if only in reaction to tards who post a oneliner "nada will crush savior! lool"
|
I've been hard on Nada lately, but I would put him as the favourite for the final. He will have one of Longinus, RLT or Hitchhiker twice and the other two once, giving him a huge map advantage. RLT and Longinus are horrible, and when the Terran comes specially prepared with a one-base build on Hitchhiker, it's very, very hard for Zerg to win.
|
Man I feel you sacajawea, this is like when I was rambling about how Nada isn't as smart as iloveoov, he lacks deep strategics(but never said he didn't have any at all), I don't like his boring plays, especially in his TvT/TvP, and everyone goes apeshit on me. "OMG U STUPID" "STFU UR REASONS ARE RETARDED" "LOL U JUST SOUND LIKE AN IRRATIONAL HATER TO ME" "WTF YOUR STRANGE YOU PUT BOXER AHEAD OF NADA WHEN BOXER COULDNT BEAT ANYTIME WTF?"
Well, they didn't write in caps, but when I read through the replies, this is what translated in my head. jesus.
|
Just ignore the huge extreme fanboys and enjoy if their mouths are shut, thats way better than arguing, cause the will still do it not caring if you get pissed or not. And regarding this subject Im a terran player so i cheer for nada, however is really enjoyable to watch savior play and it would be extremely amazing if he wins both finals at the same time (1 week difference when talking about the 2 biggest leagues on earth is nothing) it would be history so yeah... i like that also so lets just hope the better man wins :D
|
1) The OSL Maps make his job easier 2) Savior found ways to win, but didn't look his usual self 3) Sure Savior won the other series against Nada, but that is one series, dif. maps, dif. situation... these things change all the time. 4) NaDa is playing as good as he has ever been. 5) NaDa's TvZ is pretty sexy 6) He wants that 4th OSL title badly
|
if savior uses similar builds in his games vs nada hell lose imo, saviors strong point was always his great early-midgame management that allowed him to fucking dominate late game, but he doesnt seem to be able to abuse his drone whoring as much right now
|
agreed sadist. I don't think he was toying around with Iris in those games, or is hiding anything special. I voted for Casy versus NaDa (I am by no means a Savior or NaDa fanboy) -- it will be a good match regardless.
|
I'd like to post one more thing. I don't think NaDa will win. but I think it will go 3-2 in favor of Savior in excellent games of ultimate proportions. But I might be wrong. to add to Suns VERY GOOD list of why NaDa has an extremely good shot of winning.
Savior is having to result to playing weird strats that isn't his normal game, because every game he plays is more information leaked. To which NaDa, "who is more strategic than people think - watch the games vs Casy and you will see what I mean" can use to his advantage. NaDa is good at doing what he does. Which is the Soul Key Terran Strategy.
His micro and macro, and overall game sense is in with the top terrans. Which are obviously. Casy, Iris, and Midas currently? But I think he is the best at SKTerran, which is obviously a very, very powerful strategy, if not the most rounded strategy in TvZ existance, since vessel can target all zerg units, and tanks cannot.
I'm not a fanboy of NaDa. I'm not a fanboy of Savior. I do admire them both for there current skill, but I don't worship them as I do Yo-Hwan's or Casy, or since iris's games... Iris!
What I think the NaDa vs Savior games will be like.
Game 1: NaDa doing an 8 rax bunker rush/bringing all scv's. He's pretty good at it, specially if its on a map like Longinus.
Game 2: Game will be close all the game. NaDa will play kind of similar to iris. Constant attacking pressure with the Soul Key Strategy. But Savior will some how pull micro miracles and pull a win. Savior will not lose 2 games in a row... MY OPINION.
Game 3: I'm just being weird and will say this game will be on Arkanoid. NaDa will win this game with the same strategy he used vs Casy. OR it will fail and his drops will do enough damage resulting in Savior losing.
Game 4: Savior will win, im guessing again it will be on hitchhiker, and savior will do crazy backdoor/ simultanious front door lurker/ling flooding and nada wont beable to handle it.
I Can't even image how game 5 will go, because I'm not a magical warlock, and my head would hurt to much. But I think Savior will win. But I could be full of shit, but this is what an opinion is all about. Enjoy, just people think about what you are saying when you say nada has no shot. You sound rediculous lol.
|
its a bof7 though -.- oh and...
7) Savior will have the better mentality going in and has the work ethic, but he has to focus on two finals and should be getting super tired eventually. ~~
|
Well then the games I didn't mention put +1 for savior winning lol.
|
lol true

I'm guessing the savior fanboys are just like any other player's fanboys as well so I agree, stop with the hatred. If you someone wants to put complete faith in a player let them, they are just having fun.

Are you sure? The OSL finals have always been bo5, I don't see why they would change it now.
As I've said before, I think NaDa has a good chance of winning this. He obviously really wants this and in big matches there's no one with more experience. Also, Savior's had to play an absolute ton on ZvT lately (Midas, Hwasin, Iris), so he's revealed all his builds.
Anyway, I have a feeling this is going to be one of the all-time great finals. Even giving July vs Goodfriend a run for its money.

The game five was awesome. One of the best games I have ever seen. Once again, congrats to Savior, the best decision maker this game ever have. I must admit Iris was great too. His dancing marines are incredible, maybe even better than Nada's. I noticed that for 3rd game between Casy and Nada VOD was commentated as must see. For me the last game from this match is much better. GoGoGO Savior, owner of all.
|
The game 5 on Arkanoid had a lot of similarities to the great game vs. NaDa from superfight. Savior took the next logical expansion away from the Terran players, so the only minerals left to them were all the way across the map, diagonally. Then he defended the expansion well until the Terran players were running out of minerals. Smart play.

In an effort not to derail the original topic, if you can pm me a convincing argument about how this is any more offensive than calling someone a "grammar nazi" or calling a strict parent/teacher a "facist", I'll edit my post. Otherwise I'll just assume you're being a whiny melodramatic.

with all the mistakes made in that final game, it was still one of the craziest games, if not the craziest i have ever see. the only thing that would make it better would be if it was the 5th game of the actual finals. talk about fucking nuts though my god.
at the end the look on saviors face was just like "holy shit ... i can't believe this is happening ... now i have to train EVEN HARDER for 2 simultaneous starleague finals"

Anybody have the schedule for the upcoming couple weeks?

A couple people have said OSL final is 24th and MSL is March 3rd. I don't know whether that's true or not but that's what I'm assuming.

MSL is March 3rd 17:00
OSL is February 24th 18:00
You don't have to know Korean to read numbers =)

Thanks for posting the dates and time. I was thinking of having some people over to watch the OSL finals, and I need to know the exact time beforehand. That's why I was wondering: could you also say what time zone you meant?

i think people give iris a bit too much credit. in both the iris and hwasin series i thought of all the ZvT savior was having to do in public while nada was analyzing his play like a hawk.
i would think savior wants to have some secret strategies and builds saved for the OSL grand final against a formidable opponent on even more formidable maps. i would think he would try to dismiss hwasin and iris as generically as possible so as not to resort to his hoarded strategies.
during the first few games vs Iris i especially noticed savior played sloppily, and his facial expression was one of boredom. i think from the familiarity he had with Iris it was hard for him to summon motivation against an opponent he knows well and should dominate in stageplay. these errors and the imbalanced maps gave Iris plenty of opportunity. When savior lost game 4 he was *fully* motivated and into the match, no more saving strategies for nada, no more complacent raping of a team mate, the score is now 2:2 and the tiebreaker is on a horrible zvt map.
if you compare saviors play from game 1 of the series against iris to game 5, you will see the difference in this man between when he is motivated and when not. completely behind and in a losing position, on a imbalanced map, he did the impossible multiple times in that game.
i just hope there are enough balanced maps in the finals to give this man a chance, he summoned a matrix like performance to steal a win from iris on a horrible map, but that was no normal performance, he went into a zone that there is no reason to beleive he could ever re-enter.
i think if he beats nada somehow, if he over comes unbalanced maps and pulls off the win then i wouldn't be surprised if he has a slump like oov. to play a game like game 5 and possible games we will see in the finals are something that can only happen when an sc god is chasing down his first ever OSL title. he is so motivated right now we saw it manifest into some kind of miracle.
i'm almost scared to see what will happen in the finals, the combination of savior's skill and burning motivation with nada's own determination and the imba maps are an explosive mix. give this man an osl then keep him away from sc for a while, this is all just too crazy.
P.S. i'm just happy this isn't nada's 'gold mouse' osl
then the amount of motivation in the room during finals day would just incinerate the crowd ....

don't be absurd. Many of you fanboys have a nasty habit of overanalyzing situations. We touched base on this about 12 times so far in this thread we don't want to hear it again and again.

We touched base on this about 12 times so far in this thread we don't want to hear it again and again. nice response troll. i'm not a savior fanboy by any means, im a protoss player and he's raped nal_ra so many times he should be my nemesis.

i would think savior wants to have some secret strategies and builds saved for the OSL grand final against a formidable opponent on even more formidable maps. i would think he would try to dismiss hwasin and iris as generically as possible so as not to resort to his hoarded strategies.
during the first few games vs Iris i especially noticed savior played sloppily, and his facial expression was one of boredom. i think from the familiarity he had with Iris it was hard for him to summon motivation against an opponent he knows well and should dominate in stageplay. these errors and the imbalanced maps gave Iris plenty of opportunity. When savior lost game 4 he was *fully* motivated and into the match, no more saving strategies for nada, no more complacent raping of a team mate, the score is now 2:2 and the tiebreaker is on a horrible zvt map.
if you compare saviors play from game 1 of the series against iris to game 5, you will see the difference in this man between when he is motivated and when not. completely behind and in a losing position, on a imbalanced map, he did the impossible multiple times in that game.
i just hope there are enough balanced maps in the finals to give this man a chance, he summoned a matrix like performance to steal a win from iris on a horrible map, but that was no normal performance, he went into a zone that there is no reason to beleive he could ever re-enter.
i think if he beats nada somehow, if he over comes unbalanced maps and pulls off the win then i wouldn't be surprised if he has a slump like oov. to play a game like game 5 and possible games we will see in the finals are something that can only happen when an sc god is chasing down his first ever OSL title. he is so motivated right now we saw it manifest into some kind of miracle.
i'm almost scared to see what will happen in the finals, the combination of savior's skill and burning motivation with nada's own determination and the imba maps are an explosive mix. give this man an osl then keep him away from sc for a while, this is all just too crazy.

We touched base on this about 12 times so far in this thread we don't want to hear it again and again. its not absurd, savior did exactly that, hiding the guardian build the first time he played midas until the bracket stage
is it possible that iris saw savior's main zvt builds on these maps because hes on the same team and thus savior has to use different ones vs iris? its possible right? it's neither absurd nor fanboyish to simply suggest this.

Has anyone been able to win OSL and MSL the same season ?

Nada, ironically.

Saviour has nothing to hide. There would be minimal readjustments only as these maps aren't zvt friendly and at times you have to go for the risky build. Call me the troll rofl, if you took your time to read the 'entire' thread you would have seen us dismiss/talk about this already. Fanboy or NOT, you guys crave this shit and follow it like no other so it doesn't matter who you are cheering for. You have the tendency to overanalyze -- this is fact yes. If you want to know a player's mentality during a match interview them afterwards. It gets annoying talking about the same old shit and we don't need the same opinions coming up every single time. Unless you have something new to say then don't say it.
I hate circular arguments pft.
