Though many of the Chinese readers would call me a blasphemor for putting Axslav above Th000 in anything, I would put him ahead of Th000 in one regard - on the fly strategic thinking. Regardless of his race, Axslav doesn't discount any strategy or any unit, whether it be chims, hipporiders, 3 barracks footmen, mass UD casters, or unusual hero combinations like Potm Alchemist.

He can figure out a way to make hero and unit combinations work that other players just don't see until they watch it work.

Axslav King of Random

If anything has held Axslav back, it is his lack of micro and his lack of dedication to the game, its still just a hobby, and you have to wonder how good he would have been if he had really put effort into becoming a professional or putting the time that say Sonkie has into WC3.

Axslav is not the greatest American player, nor will he ever be, but he has had more influence on competetive WC3 in the United States than any other player, and that alone is saying enough about his legacy.

Now that Axslav has entered the WC3L, we can only hope his strategies can be put to good use against the worlds elite, and that this might be an apt sendoff for the most important North American player we have ever known.
