Flash wasn't God and his TvP was not that good yet. Stork was a pretty strong favorite, so it really wasn't an amazing thing when he won. I think it's particularly important regarding the finals because JD was a monster at ZvT and ZvZ, and pretty mediocre at ZvP. If you talk about Jaedong "The Tyrant" rather than Jaedong "The Legend Killer", you lose some of that important context. He wasn't an all-around great player at the time. Stork wasn't amazing at PvZ either, but the story line going in was whether Jaedong could learn ZvP or not. After the first match, it seemed like he hadn't. Then something switched, and it was like he learned ZvP before our very eyes, and then he'd go on to beat Bisu, etc. later and become The Tyrant. Obviously from a career retrospective, it's no big deal that Jaedong beat Stork. But it was a big deal at the time, especially the way he did it. You lose some of that excitement if you don't approach it that way, imo. | ||

It's hard to remember how it was since it was so long ago lol. I'll try and skype with some old brood war guys to capture the feel. | ||

Quite strong and exiting groups if i remember, plus if i recall right + Show Spoiler + Nada= awesome | ||
