Lol yamon desperately wants to suck swift's dick, I don't get it. Swift wasn't even around when war2 was really active and competitive, he was very late to the bnet party when many of the greats had retired or stopped taking the game as seriously. He was Calveries the known Hacker who only played fastest most of his early bent career.
Yamon ur right in the sense some of this builds and starts have become more refined over time, that happens when you play the same map over n over, but much of that knowledge was built upon what their predecessors did & every strat has a counter regardless of who the masses feel like copying that year.
I find it funny, you're trying so speak on things you weren't even around for and when you were present u spent much of your career as a war2 nobody-joke. You begged swift to show you some things and jerk him off hard enough to become 1/2 decent by the time war2 was on life support lol. Swift is good at 1's but his talent was hardly unique, a lot of players that came before him would find him a good opponent but he would struggle to beat many of them in a series in their prime. Swift would definitely be considered good in earlier eras but he wouldn't stand out, its too bad he started playing when most players retired or stopped caring enough to remain competitive. Most people preferred team play something swift was never able to quite master, he was most a 1 trick pony with 1's playing for Ego not fun. He would also struggle to find 1on1 match ups since there was a big stigma against hackers. People don't like playing with people who lack integrity and find it necessary to cheat in order to win. Swift was good but never unstoppable, truth is nobody knows how much of his ef career he's hacked after being caught multiple times.
Amongst hackers he was #1
Swift, Valk, Summoner
Legit players he stands no chance against in their prime: NeRzyMan a force of nature, its too bad nobody really bothered taking that many replays back in the day. ^NaiL~SoL^ - Sick Micro and macro.... Scrubbo on a non now map
players that wouldn't go <50% in a series, khb, kanauks, shotgun,
Lol, last time I smurfed was as Ranjan, then ranjan oddly came back like a week later "wtf stole my account" lol
I bet its Swift and TK, after doing another fake retirement lol
Nobody is denying Swift is a great player but it's silly to call him an all time great, its too bad more of the greats don't come back and de rust. Then we could settle these hypotheticals once and for all!!! hehe
Swift was prolly the best Fastest player to ever play, i'll give him that
-- Ash could easily compete but his strength like Azteca was in team play. Not that they were slouches in 1's
NeRzy isn't really controversial if you speak to any "serious" person who's played in both eras
