iloveOov vs SlayerS_`BoxeR`

This is the last 15min of the OSL Starleague game between Boxer and Oov.

I only uploaded the last 15min because the game is just way too long :-)

Boxer plays white, Oov plays orange.

At this point they are already more than an hour into the game, after endless battles that resulted in an even stand-off, and the map got split exactly into half with a clear seperation line in the middle.

The only difference is that Boxer has the central-lower minneral, and (you can't see it) he completly covered it with Turrets there's not a single place Oov can drop at. Oov tries to get the central-upper minnerals but he can't since Boxer is guarding the high ground with siegeg tanks, so even though each player has half of the map Boxer still has 1 extra running base over Oov.

Oov pretty much destroyed all his SCVs to make a 200/200 wraiths fleet, while Boxer is still minning some minnerals and creates a Goliaths+BCs army.

After its over, the commentators, fans and the players- everyone look so tired as if they're gonna drop into deep sleep on the very spot :-)

If you're not familiar with the Boxer/Oov history, here it is in a nutshell: Boxer is Oov's mentor, since Oov joined SKT1 years ago Boxer embraced him as his Protégé and taught him everything he possibly could.

Its always fun to see those two battle it out, they know each other's game like the back of their hand, they train with one another daily in SKT1, Master vs Student, best friends and great rivals, who will come out victorious this time?

It was a lot less calculated, I find. Which made for more enjoyable matches. Players used to be able to come up with really interesting builds a lot more than now, and with those interesting builds and plays the games were fun.

The current metagame of starcraft has lost the "freedom" of the old matches, with nearly every play a calculated series of builds and counters with brilliant obscure tactics a rare treat.

lol what a krazie battle and the best part was that they both had smiles after the game was over.

@kiklion he couldn't get to boxer's base without running in 20 turrets

[kiklion]

Why did he keep the wraiths in his base after the first skirmish, rather then move over to Boxer's side to kill them as they were being built?

[Stefan773]

the barracks are meant to tank units (such as people use the engineering bay to distract reinforcements at a choke, like a bridge), to prevent yamato from hitting tanks, and mainly so boxer cant see whats under there for when he inches up his tanks. but boxer has always been the number 1 player when it comes to tank wars

so much wraiths!

[ShniWalker]

lol amazing.. I didn't believe the wraiths ownd the 1st fight.

[jsnpark]

Boxer gets all the girls ;)

@iKPoPify Even with 2 or 3 more expansions he would have lost using wraiths...

[iKPoPify]

@Otarku no, that's what happens when you're down by an expo and your opponent knows your strategy

[iKPoPify]

@JRimRim He also didnt have any control towers whatsoever. This way he could go 200/200 wraiths without wasting time on control towers (with 200/200 he wouldn't need cloak anyway)
