Starcraft TiVo: Week 12
by thedeadhaji
TeamLiquid: Final Edits
I sense that I am becoming increasingly picky about which games deserve to be on this list. Survivor, OSC, and even OSL were all disappointing. The OSL games may have been exciting live, but as vods they simply cannot stand up to the scrutiny.
I watched Savior vs Bisu over 10 times, trying desperately to convince myself that they were somehow good games. Unfortunately, they weren't. If you want to read (ie be spoiled) about what happened and my take on it, you can read it here
So as usual, the best games of the week happened in Proleague (along with 60 boring as hell games as well). The center expansions on Bakemagoji were used for the first time in Tester vs Hero, Boxer and Free scrambled around in a messy but entertaining matchup, and we saw the best ZvZ game in a long time from Odin and Hyuk.
Oh, and the Estro vs Hanbit team game was hilarious.

If you wish to argue that Bisu vs Savior should be higher, please go watch the 500 odd games that have been played thus far this season, then make your case.
Even comparing them to the other games this week, it should be clear that they are simply inferior in entertainment value.
Impulsively responding with "What this is nonsense aoiehfal;skdjfowier" without the proper due diligence isn't going to make a very good case. Last edit: 2007-12-08 03:01:57 |

Yeah, something seems to be broken there. But BaeZZi has it up on youtube; it's embedded in my previous post. (Also added FBH vs. Pusan because haji is obviously an inattentive slacker that managed to miss some of the games last week.) |

Great job as usual.
I'd ask how you have time to watch every single game, but I am kind of wondering the same thing about myself. |

haji, I can accept that you did not find the Bisu vs Savior games as exciting as some of the others that took place during that week. + Show Spoiler +
What I can't understand is how you can rank the third game - a solid one-sided harass into macro-rape - higher than the intense, pitched battles of the second game. Maybe it's less impressive with a better understanding of game mechanics than mine, but it really seemed like Bisu was going down once his nat nexus was destroyed, and his comeback was very dramatic. |

Yea I think I threw out a lot of games I could have given 3/5 to b/c I was getting so damn sick of standard decent/solid but unspectacular games and it's always a pain in the ass deciding what is borderline acceptable or not. Last edit: 2007-12-08 07:24:12 |

Baezzi: what are those red and blue bars showing before the game? ( @ 0:18 and @ 0:54) It seems that red one is for a win and blue is for a loss against a specific player. But why do they have different number of bars for each win and loss?
i'm not baezzi but oh well.
those bars represent the current play-skill of the players that a particular player has won or lost against
for example bisu would be like 4bars. when like KTF_yellow wud be like 1 or 2.
Is this actually what the bars mean? |

| That bars are related with wp rank. I'll make a thread if there's no thread about it. |
