Stork never tech'ed to defilers... he had only a hatchery the entire time. The defilers he had were mind controlled. In other words, if Stork hadn't wasted resources on that hatchery/spawning pool/zerglings, he wouldn't have been in danger of a draw anyways.

That game was freaking AMAZING. I don't care what anyone says about the boring parts, the game was so fun to watch.

Just some really exciting, somewhat unorthodox, interesting play by both players. PvZ at its finest, I say.

The problem with that game is that there was enough epic fail on both sides that it lasted that long. Stork lost like 8 reavers in the beginning of the game, then GGplay evened that up with the TWO drops that didn't even land before being raped by corsairs. GGplay started to fall behind after repeatedly losing overlords. But, Stork had to even that up by getting 16 carriers mass scourged to death.

Yeah I don't think this game was epic because it's not like they were playing good and battling it out. I don't have anything against stork but I thought his play was very annoying in this game. Why in the world would he need 2+ control groups of corsairs and like 50 cannons? I think it's his fault the game went so long, as he could have run ggplay over with all the money he spent on defense.

A little FYI I found out from reading Stork's fomos interview:

"블리즈컨에 참가하는 것으로 알고 있다."
He believes he's scheduled to appear at BlizzCon this year.

oO!

Well the silly thing is that at some point stork was SO ahead it was silly. he was like 5 base protoss vs 4 base zerg. And GGPlay had shit for upgrades. All Stork needed was to switch to templar tech and walk over ggplay but he dragged it for ages.

It was fun nonetheless! And ggplay almost pulled a comeback somehow.

imo ggplay was being a jackass and why didnt he leave earlier, he must have felt the rape that stork delivered

anyone besides me who thought of Stork vs Gorush when watching this game?

Stork is AWESOME to watch in long drawn-out epic PvZ:s

Stork is awesome.. sadly too many of us have been poisoned by FS's power ranks. Instead of realizing how much ggplay sucks, they'll blame stork instead because its supposedly cool thing to do.

GGplay lost the game totally, it was truly 1 hour 40 minutes worth of zerg genocide... he should have just gg'd early and spared himself the humiliation of being toyed around with.

Stork was 100% intent on dragging this game as long as possible. He had so many reavers, cannons, templars, sairs and carriers that GGPlay couldn't do anything else but defend the whole time and hope that he will win the resource war at the end.
After both players took their half of the map it should have been obvious that it will become a very long game which ends in a battle for the last expansion.
Anyway. GGPlay did a good job, he defended well which is not easy when a Protoss has 50% of the map plus one more expansion for quite some time and a huge sair/carrier/DA/reaver/storm army. Stork was a bit lame with his strategy... just way too much turtling.
It was a funny game nonetheless. I liked the ending. And the mind-controlled defilers of course.

awesome quotes, lol

Audience member prepares for a long epic game
We went to watch a movie, so did you win??

stork eventually won at the end but he couldve done much better.
he could slowly mc all overlord, and use as storm transport., i thought that was deadly addtion to conquer 12.

I really enjoyed this game not for its quality but for its really wacky strategies. Mind controls were great, seeing corsairs having three status effects at once was hilarious (ensnare, plague and acid spores), and that final recall was pure gold. And as a final twist to this strange match it was none other than the defilers that brought GGPlay down. Long match but well worth it.

"stork figures that the only way to beat zerg is to BE zerg"

"Stork fails time and time again at recalls and attempted recalls and fucking around that the KESPA refs had to intervene and ask stork wtf are you doing and why haven't you killed him yet"

"We went to watch a movie, so did you win??"

I LOVE YOU <3
