[ShaLLoWBaYzerg]

best game in history

[PtakAttack]

Best game in Starcraft BroodWar! Sick

[mononokekime]

everyone hold their breath @ 2:19 part of the match

[MakunouchiPPo]

nice sportsmanship from iris and savior at the end same team feels good you won but u feel bad ur teammate lost and viceversa

[bokanovskyprocess]

lol @ people acting like badasses for being able to click super fast.

nice match though

[catarsico]

Que activo ese terran ! en cambio savior estuvo medio pasivo...aunque tambien supo darle.

[Soulstopper146]

SaViOr is a GOD!! He and July r unbeatable zerg FTW!

[Sc2ggrocks]

wat about jaedong? i mean, jaedong does have his own race (jd's race)

[stoneheart92]

oh this isn't the same one sorry

[wooyaadii]

marines+medics+vessels= SK terran

marines kill most things,medics heal, and anything they cant handle, the vessels irradiate. But it doesnt stop them from making a dark swarm...

[stoneheart92]

why didn't savior made to the finals? against ggplay

[jjay75]

lol...

[Undeadtaro]

he did, where he faced nada

the one youre refering to is the daum osl, which was the osl right after this one.

[SlaveOfGod1993]

why didnt he use tanks?

[massLings]

i love it when a terran starves

[stoneheart92]

omg such a nice game

[xJuanKarx]

whats the song on the back ? name song

[EnsignN7]

Intro - Grand Turismo 4 Intro music

Pre/Post Game - Saosin - Sleepers

[xJuanKarx]

name song

[dawnofaiur]

good game

[SiegeTankHero]

wifebeater, y do u think it is surprising that iris forced savior to 5 games??

iris is one of the 5 best terrans in the world imo

[FieryBalrog]

This is what they call impenetrable defense... what a game. Constant attack on multiple fronts by Iris, infantry shock squadrons dropped all over the map... and yet time and again Savior holds with just a few units on beautiful defense.

Amazing game.

[theshadeofice]

the commentators are hilarious.

loud dude : "iris is a beserker, savior is a holy knight"

color guy : (exasperated) "holy knight?!"

[rauldurand]

what about tanks???

[slakwmf]

not enough gas

[lordy150]

nnooo

i mean before the game start... there was a song playing when the camera was on the crowd and on the players

its a punk general i guess

[PlagueAngel77]

saosin - sleepers

[lordy150]

whats the song on the back ? its soo cool

[k0tiak]

it's the starcraft music that plays in the background of the game.

[didqocnzhs]

ooh my god that was so amazing. whoa....

[dragoons9009]

3.04 -- 05

sAviOr has never done that before ^^

[dragoons9009]

Christ, where were his tanks? I kept wondering if he'd ever get tanks.

And of course, the marines, there were many occasions when he SO could have pwned savior, but then again, this wasn't BoxeR ;)

[dragoons9009]

Also, no defensive shield matrixes? There were many occasions also that he could have pwned

[astyanax2002]

does anyone know the title of this song.. sounds pretty nice if anyone can tell me thanks...

[ckcornflake]

Why didn't Iris built at least a few tanks? He built hundreds of marines which many died to the lurkers, If he built a few tanks he could have really opened up Savior's by taking out the lurkers. Maybe he thought it took too much time to micro the tanks?

[FieryBalrog]

Tanks reduce mobility by a great deal. The advantage of SK Terran (heavy infantry + sci vessels) is high mobility which is huge on a map like Arkanoid.

[MonoMohrovo]

OMG...

[Alexsteen]

Oh man... those plagues were just plain beautiful.

[runisunke]

i think plague should be 100 and DS 75, so it can be used more liek psi storm and irridate

[NotGG]

defilers have consumer for a reason

[runisunke]

lol, iris is wat better then me, but for a league player he sucks. lol i love savoirs plague!

*thigns on my mind*

i thinkt the engery for special ability is unfair for zerg. plague and brood is 150! and DS is 100!

while irraidate adn psionice storm is only 75!!!!

[runisunke]

lol, iris is wat better then me, but for a league player he sucks. lol i love savoirs plague!

*thigns on my mind*

[Eternal164]

can someone tell me where i can get the replay of this

[imperat]

Korean league = only VODS

[AdrianYemil]

What do you mean with REPLAY. If you want the video I can get it for you...

[Eternal164]

Can someone tell me where i can get this ina replay format?

[thecoffinilaidin]

iris got raped by savior's strong macro. too strong.

[Jinisinsane]

did i see scv drops? wtf? 22 min

[alpha10th]

He was going there for expansion, not knowing Savior already had base there. Anouncer was talking how this was one of the biggest lol moment in history. (not good enough English word exist for that Korean word, Ban-Jeon)

[Korsair777]

you could see Iris sucks at micro, if he was like boxer, he wouldve pwnt them with those Rine expos

[FieryBalrog]

Iris was multitasking all over the map. His micro was quite decent considering how many areas he was simultaneously pressuring Savior. Also, Savior pwned Boxer 3-0 twice.

[s4life]

boxer got utterly raped by SAvior 3-0. This one as on the other hand more even.

[bestco88]

That's one amazing battle, Iris made the mistake not to expand like Savior did, by the time he uncovered Zerg's base on southwest corner it was too late.

[rockjunky116]

I watch this over and over because it's perfect.

[alpha10th]

Two answers to edstevens94301. Beating hive wouldn't damage Savior much. The main base did not have too much resource left and units still would come out the same unless you destroy other buildings.

Another reason, probably bigger one, was that he was trying to run away from the damn plague. Not that he can, u know :P

[edstevens94301]

Right around 24:30, Iris has a bunch of MM's next to Savior's Hive. He pulls out and tries to go for Savior's south expansion. I think if he stays in there, he eliminates Savior's Hive and that's gg. Why does Iris leave?

[llihnroht]

lol, savior putting his head down and covering his mouth at the end to hide his HUGE GRIN! lol!!!

but dang, that was one crazy game. great use of plague and scourges (SV pwn) by savior, and great use of fully upgraded marine shock squadrons by iris. fannnntastic!

[8thsin619]

DEFILER ABUSE!!! Iris put up a really good fight. GG whole series!

[MrSky]

Best game I have ever seen...

Savior made some mistake tho, I just loved how savior play zerg. Ever sine Boxer's retirement, I found all terran players to be very boring to watch.

[GodofProtoss]

thats so fucking gay! SAVIOR SUX

he used that much fing micro and lost!

i thnk he should have made a few tanks btw

[dragoons9009]

savior wasn't the terran player, dumbass. it was iris. ^^

[BBZZZZZ]

Iris went for a quick ofensive..but he forgot to expand...pity

[sibladeko]

I guess Iris wasn't lying when he said he 50%s Savior in practice.

[SupremeGunde]

Iris played great, but with a few misstakes. i'm sorry for him :( Saviors tactics is a bit boring for my taste :P Nice usage of plague though...

[kookoon]

I wanted irisss to win :'( he was doing a show in middle game.

[aaronhedberg]

That was funny when it looked like iris was gonna drop on savior's base @ 7, and then only scvs come out 'and the crowd goes wild'.

[Xelic]

That was probably the best game I've ever watched. There was always a battle going on for about 20 minutes straight. That was incredible.

[NotGG]

damn, I really thought he was going to do it.

[caeksauce8]

i thought at around 28:00 savior was going to lose that hatchery. that was one of the best steel defences i've ever seen in starcraft... his defilers are perfect everytime.

[pavementistrad]

iris made a lot of bad mistakes

[DaMs78]

wow both impressive, sad for iris to don't go to the final !

[dacherx]

Wow. Iris countered Saviror's mutas like no other terran. Savior's mutas where rendered totally ineffective and a big waste of gas. Of course they are practice partners so iris is most familiar with savior's muta tactics and won't lose his cool. And plague is so powerful.. I've always thought pros should use plague more, especially against SV clouds and clumps of rines. Plague sticks. It renders medics ineffective, and hit a group of plagued SV's with a few mutas--- boom boom boom!

[dacherx]

on 2nd viewing, mutas did damage, but savior lost way more mutas than against other opponents.

[somethingagainstu]

wicked sick...just omg game...Iris had it...lost it with those 3 dropships in the middle of the game.

[KizZBG]

Should be deffinately included in best games of 2007!

[cougbob83]

Good control by both.

[hjl0240]

a really epic battle, both players losing their concentration from time to time. darn.. it actually looked like a big upset was going to happen

[iloveReach]

nice game

[martinx75]

omg I have never seen such a pressure and such beautiful defence by azerg player. amazing

[s9poncho]

OMFG!! that was awesome... great defence!! i thought he was lost at least 5 times

[ozgunguner]

what a amazing game!i enjoyed watching as like playing myself:)In the middle of game Savior looks like losing but he defended his hives magnificiantly.i didnt see before using plague on enemy like this!Iris assulted his three hives simultenously and after second attack he lost just one!He is Marine Killer:)Notice that Savior is more successful using ling than muta.When he goes muta his win chance decreases.

[caeksauce8]

omg i agree. i never noticed that trend till now..

[pepsibob33]

amazing.

[iloveReach]

Haha I'm downloading this at TeamLiquid tracker at 230k/sec, they have it in 450MB VOD only this game! now THATS quality! I'm gonna wait for it ^^

[Jon747]

Thanks Iris and Savior, teammates and friends who know each other's style very well, for giving us such a great game. Already a classic ^_^
