Against jaedong in the osl semis game 5 on rotk. he walled using his factory, and his vulture was blocked by jd's zerglings. this happens TWICE. What does fantasy do? Change his build? Try getting wraiths? No, he continues to build vultures, and losing them to JD's growing zergling force. It was way too late to do anything by the time the first lings got to his wall. That's a terrible example because he seriously had 0 options. | ||

A legit criticism to what Fantasy did there is that his strat loses automatically in that position to 9 pool speed, because of the units spawning on the wrong side. That was something Fantaasy should have realized in practice. | ||

What do you want more? The only remaining thing he needs to get is the mental strength from Oov, though... Perfect? Far from it. His TvP is great but I think Flash's is still better. His TvZ is on par with JD? JD is S-class in ZvT. Fantasy is S-class in TvZ? Umm... no. | ||

That was something Fantaasy should have realized in practice. Of course, but the OP wrote it as if Fantasy's response was bad, which wasn't really the case. I mean, he says that Fantasy should have changed his build, get wraiths (lol wtf?), which is just completely wrong because there wasn't anything he could have done. | ||

Read op properly. /me smacks kona I sortof of think of fantasy like iris. Iris before his series vs savior he was considered another average macro terran. No one expected him to even take a game from savior especially with the tvz he showed before when he played keke on rlt. It was similiar to when fantasy played ggplay. Before he played ggplay he was just considered another macro terran. No one expected him to beat him especially with the past tvz he showed. I think without that style that defines his play right now he would probably have been just another bifrost. Average at best. Probably a starleague regular that never gets pass ro8. I remember oov when he became a coach he said that he thought fantasy had potential but he was too passive. It was when fantasy put his own agressive harass style until his play that he started getting really good. | ||
