Fantasy NEEDS to polish his styles more. He plays something different EVERY FREAKEN GAME! Stick to one style, polish it, be the best at it then IF it is figured out, try another style then go back to the first style, alternate between to keep your opponent thinking.

It seems pretty evident that Fantasy's slumping lately, especially in TvZ. But I still think that a lot of people being a bit harsh with the criticism. Obviously, Fantasy is a player who likes to come into a game with a plan, and has difficulty deviating from that plan. But it's quite a leap from that fact to the conclusion that he's simply a robot who simply plays whatever build Oov and/or Boxer create for him.

First off, I'd be interested in hearing how people concluded that Oov is simply feeding Fantasy these builds, and that Fantasy has no role in the creative process himself. Sure, it's easy to point to the coaches and simply blame all of Fantasy's success on them. This even meshes well with his planning-intensive playstyle. But is there really any reason to conclude that Fantasy is simply a spindly-fingered meat pupped with an over-sized adam's apple? I contend that there is not.

I think the biggest reason that Fantasy gets so much bad press is because of the inevitable comparisons to Flash. Flash is a player with absolutely GOD-LIKE game sense, and I'm pretty confident that a comparison between him and ANY other player would make the other player look bad in that respect. Take Flash out of the picture, though, and Fantasy stacks up pretty well against the other significant terrans on the scene. Dislike him if you must, but I think it's silly to simply write him off as a manifestation of Oov's creative genius. 2 OSL silvers is a hell of an accomplishment, and to think that he could do that without any ability to think and adapt is laughable.

When I recently started playing starcaft and heard about the "Fantasy Build" I thought it was called so only because only in your dreams would mech work as well as bio lol.

edit: with respect to TvZ of course.

I believe Fantasy's bumbling play as of late exemplify either:
a) very poor play on his part - he is just notthinking his builds through and making very basic strategical errors (due to stress maybe?) or b) our misunderstanding of the situation - it just shows how the Korean progamers are on a different level when it comes to SC. It kind of reminds me of the 'poker' levels - "he knows that I know that he knows ..." haha.

The simple solution is a) but I like to believe in b) because it's more interesting and quite plausible too. It makes me that much more astonished at how far these progamers have taken SC strategy

I find it frustrating to watch. It's a sad state of affairs when no longer is the most ingenious player (someone like Boxer) dominant, instead we have someone like Flash that's 99% mechanics. Flash said himself that the reason he does the same build over and over and over is "because they win the most". That's all that matters these days, winning. It's just sad.

Oh, how you've fallen from grace, Starcraft. I can't love you like I used to. ;_;

SDM wrote about it in a blog on GomTV as I recall.

The game's been figured out, and people like Flash just don't attract an audience like the star players of old did. They're robots that produce insane results. That's not nearly as entertaining, or as exciting to watch. It's mostly just nerds into the scene who appreciate that kind of thing. So I understand that the TL user base might find this difficult to understand.

He wrote that the game has seen declining numbers since 2006.

Okay, I can see why you would think that way. But when I watch games from nowadays v. games from the old, I think recent games are more exciting.
The game hasn't been figured out though, and I don't agree that they're robots, what makes them so that separates them from the old gamers?

I agree that the progamers these days are pretty darn boring compared to the old guard even though the games are a whole better to watch.

With people like Chalrenge and Zeus not playing anymore and FBH being unable to win a game these days, the whole scene is less interesting and has kind of disconnected itself from the fans despite the fact the sheer quality of gameplay has improved by a great lot. I love Movie's PvZ, for example, but I don't give a shit who he is the minute he steps outside the booth because he has the personality of a rock.

The "Stork-Kwanro" issue is the type of drama we need, even if its pretty juvenile, to make these progamers feel like actual people.

I whole-heartily agree with it as well.
