Though, one more thing to consider... Movie's in the same clan as Flash, though perhaps in different generations. There's no reason why they shouldn't be friendly with each other. | ||

But Jaedong's almost never lost a bo5 though so I hope he'll manage to pull off a 3 - 2 win. forGG 3-0 Forgot? | ||

Oh by the way, in that 4th final, Stork also played terribly in 2 of the 5 games, and even in the 5th game that he won he managed not to scout the one expansion on the map where Fantasy had a hidden expo (he never even found it) in spite of being way ahead and checking for hidden expos repeatedly. Fortunately he was too far ahead to allow yet another 5th game choke job catch up to him. It's a good thing Flash GGPlayed himself out of that OSl because he would have beaten Fantasy in the BO5 and Stork too. My point is simply this - Stork was an S-class player when he lost to Bisu (the legendary goon range game is an all time great game 5 choke job), he was an S-class player when he got crushed by Jaedong, and he was an S-class player when he got absolutely MURDERED by Flash. Movie is not an S-class player yet in my opinion, but to base that off of not playing perfectly in a final and acting as if Stork and Bisu would have is ridiculous. Especially STORK who choked away THREE finals in which he came in as probably the favorite. Stork is a great player but if anything he is proof that just because you're an elite S-class player doesn't mean you're immune to playing well below (or in Stork's case, well, well, well, well, well below) your level in a final. I didn't even get into Bisu vs Mind.... | ||

Movie displayed some sick, sick, sick PvT this series. His PvT is not weak and it's definitely above average - he came into this series on a 5-0 streak. Just give the guys his due and move on. Also obviously NO ONE is, or should be saying Movie has better PvT than Stork, Bisu or Jangbi (when he's rocking). But Movie is definitely top 3 Protoss at the moment because results matter. | ||

He got caught by strats he wasn't prepared for. It happens to anyone in a bo5. Your point should be this. Stork vs Bisu was close. Stork vs JD was close. Stork vs Flash was not at all close, but it was because Stork and Flash had just played a very close series in the Star Invitational. Stork went into the OSL finals so screwed in the head by Flash's mind games. And Stork vs Fantasy was close, with Stork prevailing. Since then, Fantasy has more than shown he is a legit top tier player. So all you've really done is say Stork played plenty of close series versus other S-class players but lost due to a few dumb mistakes that were out of character. Movie vs Flash on the other hand wasn't lost on one crucial choke mistake or obviously playing below Movie's normal skill level. Does anyone here think Movie choked? I doubt it. He just played at his normal level and got curbstomped. That's the difference. Movie is NOT a great player and he wasn't playing well below his level in the finals. He was playing the same as he always does in his PvT's and stinking butt. | ||
