Boxer v Reach Set 4+5 P3 OSL Finals (2002)

Hey guys,
A real blast from the PAST here - all the way back to the Ongamenet Sky 2 Finals in November, 2002. Boxer is going for his third OSL title, and it's Reach's first time in the OSL finals.

Set 4/5(?) P3

pwnage. great job commentating. as far as future commentating - could you maybe find some games where boxer actually wins? supposedly he used to be the man, but every time i watch classic games of his, it's like this. he seems a bit newbish in this set, with the insistance on m&m and the poor drops that come too late. seems kind'a cheesey.

All right, sounds good. I'm planning on doing one of the two Boxer v Yellow series next - and if you know Yellow's reputation, you should guess who wins ^^

Yea, someone else posted about the medic marines too. I think maybe Boxer had used this strategy effectively against Protosses who expanded or teched too quickly in the recent past. But Reach builds up quite a lot of goons/zealots in every game that Boxer goes MM, so he was well prepared.

Thanks for your comment.

i want to be the mantoss! how does he manage those psi storm drops so fast. lol, merging that archon was like mocking poor Boxer's powerful yet futile attack. great game and thanks for presenting it so well.

fantastic commentating on the series. Really interesting games as well, it's amazing how good these guys are in the mid and end game with so many units and expansions.

thanks for commentating on this series, you did a great job, but I would also suggest you talk a bit more about the players themselves. Other than that the only thing you might want to work on is your undying love for Reach xD

cholera, i want to give you my support 100%! love your style and the quality of your strategy analysis. One thing that I would like to hear more of, though, is background history on the players. I don't know much about them individually.

Another thing that I'd like to hear about more often are your starcraft visions, such as your ultralisk-like dog and overlord jellyfish hiding scourge beneath them!

I really enjoyed this series, both players are really good but, due to the sheer playing ability Reach has and had even back than with Protoss, he won.

I loved it. And again, great commentary Cholera. I like your style as you keep up nicely with the video and really give us non-competitive Starcraft playing folks a simple cut and dry way of knowing whats going in these games, especially during the tactics and why a player does something.

Thanks Cholera, as a Reach fan, I loved this OSL final.
