I do enjoy the Fantasy bashing here. Always did find him way too lacking for a top player.


you have to had a really hard time during last OSL, have you? XD

True Fantasy fans will never bash him, no metter he's in form or not.
True SKT fans will remember his games in SPL against JD, his MSL games against Flash, his games against Stork and Bisu. That he carried his team through the darkest time, when both Bisu and Best were in deep slump.

And i know he will be back.


I admit. Last OSL hit me hard. But believe it or not, I was only pissed at Stork because I thought Stork learned his lesson from Flash's thumping. Fantasy played it like the finals. Stork played like it was a proleague match. Fantasy won. I could only shake my head at Stork. Nothing against Fantasy.

The only thing I'm pissed about last OSL is that Fantasy won despite that complete and utter failure of TvZ against Calm in the semi-finals. If he had shown Flash-like TvZ in the semis, I would just tip my hat to him for winning it all.

Anyway, my general beef with Fantasy is that I don't find him to be less "complete" compared to other top players. TvTs aside, his entire game is BOs and harass. Yes, I know I'm generalizing a bit, but other parts of Fantasy's game look very mediocre. This is why when fantasy loses, he also looks bad.

Other top players harass and try to use good builds that counter their opponents, but they don't "rely" on them. So if everything proceed normally or even disadvantageously into the mid-late game, they still have a good chance to win. Fantasy, if his harass doesn't work, generally just fall apart.

Both my favourite Protoss (Stork) and Terran (Fantasy) are slumping pretty hard right now. These guys were in the OSL finals just 6 months ago, this is just not expected at all. Hopefully they both take advantage of their OSL seeds and prepare enough to advance to the Ro8.

I would be surprised on the girlfriend part, as Fantasy himself said that he wasn't interested in girls in an interview.

Fantasy started slumping when he realized that Jaedong's mm micro was better than his.

Since that game he is 8-13. :-)

Personally I think he'll come back strong in the GF. Fantasy is at his best when he has tons of preparation, and SKT will have a LOT of time off thanks to clinching first place. He'll have plenty of time to think of all the cute strats he'll need.

I don't think SKT fans need to worry too much, especially considering that their zergs and tosses are actually quite consistent nowadays.

Fantasy's TLPD All Games Played Recently

It seems like after Fantasy lost to Soulkey twice in the ABCMSL he lost a lot of confidence, motivation or whatever in vZ. His mech switches from heavy bio/valk pressure in early game are not working anymore. There were very long and drawn out games on Dante's Peak
(Fantasy v Soulkey on Dante's Peak
Fantasy meche'd and lost hard to queens broodling over and over. The Monte Cristo was .....sad T.T
Now fantasy is trying to use bio but it is clear that unlike his sublime vulture micro/multitask his bio is looks and attacks rather clumsily and he seems to lack the gamesense many hardcore bio terrans acquired over years of vZ play (Flash, Hwasin, FBH, Ruby, Casy come to mind). So many slaughtered marines from hold lurkers.....

edit: I will admit that the last 6 losses have been so painful to watch with many of those games added to the Fantasy GG Timing thread:

Surprised that they sent him down to the B-team in the first place. Usually when teams do that, the player is REALLY mired in a mega slump. He hasn't been playing well since his OSL win, but I didn't think it got nearly that bad.

Edit: Check that, he was actually quite good even after his OSL win; he just had a bad spell starting in April.

I thought that happened a lot. I remember when a few gamers were slumping and decided to drop themselves to B team for a bit to work things out.

lol i never understan why people rely so much on the past, sure i guess it increases ur chances but a new game is a new game, anything can happen, fantasy had never beat snow until that day when he made the 3 kill (snow (who was the PvT bonjwa) movie and someone else) even if fantasy or someone else usually does good in playoffs, i dont expect him/them to be super awesome i just expect that he goes 1 game at a time doing his best effort, even if i were a cj fan i wouldnt be so confident, i know what fantasy is capable of when he has time to prepare, did u see osl finals, he owned stork badly, he can go super awesome or super fail, so yeah he can lose to skyhigh or finally beat him like when snow, u'll never know until u see the match

skt scariest player is not bisu, even at his s class level and how good he is, at least u can read his game style and prepare for him, with fantasy, u never know, he can come up with a surprise every game

That maybe true but you are forgetting Fantasy has a tendency to just fall on his face doing those "surprises." And usually it turns into one of those epic, "wtf are you doing" Fantasy moments. Fantasy is just one of those players with a very, VERY high ceiling Skill wise, but also a very bad pit that he can fall into.

People can prepare for Bisu yes, but when Bisu is on his game (as like now. his S-class Taek Shin self) no matter how much you prepare, he'll find a way to win regardless. Like his recent game vs Hiya for instance.

Fantasy on the other hand, has his little tricks but if he misses one step like he usually does, it won't work and he'll just fall apart completely. He's way to heavily reliant on ooV. While I still believe he's the clear 2nd Terran to Flash, I have doubts in his games majority of the time. His Finals with Stork was an exception because he took it seriously while Stork didn't really do so. Stork admitted to that in an interview I remember reading.

Fantasy ,when he has time to prepare has got to be one of the scariest forces to reckon with.

but I am going to laugh if he faces Skyhigh.
