Yeah MVP is a serious contender, he upset Stork in GoM season 3, then defeated Stork and Best who have excellent PvT. Now he just defeated baby to advance to the Ro8, watch out for this guy. | ||

Doesn't MVP have insanely high APM for a progamer yet still lose due to poor decision-making? Well it seems like he's been improving as of late; free confirmed in his interview that MVP is playing the best of his career (which actually isn't to say that much considering you can hardly call his chain of losses a career) but I'm glad that it seems like he's picking his game up. ZerO/Violet were both terrible too for a while before breaking out big. Hopefully MVP can follow in their footsteps and give Stars the Terran backbone it needs in order to be a top-tier team. Also, people need to stop saying stupid shit like "Baby should've advanced." You "should" advance only when you've beaten your opponent. If you've done that, then you deserve to move on no matter the popularity/momentum of your opponent. MVP deserved to advance because he won, simple as that. | ||

The king whose touch turns things into gold. 8-2 in his last 10 games, a lot against players MSL deems as strong! He puffs his cheeks. Jangbi looking comfortable. 17th in Kespa rank. The "fighting" cheer for him mostly male. | ||

Nothing he could've done, really. Jangbi's 4th was very late, Midas had a bunch of factories going...good recall in main could've given Jangbi a chance, but he couldn't reinforce the lost units quick enough. If he tried to fight early enough to prevent the push from positioning well next to his natural, he'd get utterly raped - he needed one or 2 more gateway rounds to have a chance. Later, when he had some units(still not enough, imo), Midas already set up...after that you can either try to counter, or gg. If he attacked that set-up push, he'd trade his whole force for couple tanks. | ||

Eh? I'd hazard to guess that mines did even more damage to Jangbi than tanks did. Even a few of Jangbi's failed attacks on Midas's 3rd were mostly due to mines rather than tanks. | ||

And Terrans do not go for 14cc much anyways. There is not much variation in the builds zerg can do off a opening, and there is a reason for that, most of it is hard counterable, 12hat with a pool follow up is the safest variation out there. | ||

God, stop with this bullshit-builds and stick with something real for a few months man. Like building units, lots of them, as Calm just did. Units are great, they kill stuff. And you don't instantly lose when your first spidermine gets detected. | ||

Just say "yeah, this guy never makes the Ro4 of any league and manages to lose in some retarded way all the time, but of course he is the best"? Flashs potential was never in question and his PL record was always great, but he failed hard in individual leagues and KT did not go anywhere last season. In the end, results are kinda more important than some unfullfilled potential. | ||

Fantasy would lose games in ways that Flash would never in a million years lose - when a game didn't go according to his plan he would fall apart in inexplicable ways. On the other hand Flash also lost a lot of bad games due to questionable builds but his fundamental game understanding was always far superior. The Stork-Fantasy OSL finals is a great example of this. Fantasy won game 4 in a way that almost no one else would win but lost game 5 in a way that Flash never would have. The difference is that Fantasy's game 4 performance is not repeatable in the long run, but a player with superior game sense/understanding (like Flash) would be able to repeat their (hypothetical) win in game 5. I know it's kind of ridiculous to point to a hypothetical win as evidence but it's more to illustrate the point within the context of one series (in which only one player is playing, obviously). Look at any Flash TvP win on the original Medusa (this was during the time period when Fantasy was a superior performer in leagues) or any game when he brilliantly blocks Protoss cheese from start to finish as a more concrete example of the "goodness" of a player that's also repeatable. | ||

Movie's sair reaver heading toward Great's main. Shuttle BARELY dodges some scourge, which slam into a sair instead. Shuttle unloads--no, it had DTs in it! | ||

Fantasy won game 4 in a way that almost no one else would win but lost game 5 in a way that Flash never would have. The difference is that Fantasy's game 4 performance is not repeatable in the long run, but a player with superior game sense/understanding (like Flash) would be able to repeat their (hypothetical) win in game 5. I know it's kind of ridiculous to point to a hypothetical win as evidence but it's more to illustrate the point within the context of one series (in which only one player is playing, obviously). Look at any Flash TvP win on the original Medusa (this was during the time period when Fantasy was a superior performer in leagues) or any game when he brilliantly blocks Protoss cheese from start to finish as a more concrete example of the "goodness" of a player that's also repeatable. Except Flash wouldnt even reach game 5 because he sucked vs the dragons at the time. He had a 25% winrate against the dragons during that year. His play was nowhere near as godlike as it was now, and Bisu/Stork were better than him back then, whileas Fantasy would go toe to toe with JD/Stork/Bisu during that year even when he played gimmicky. People forgot that Fantasy was also uncheesable during that year? That's also one of the reasons he went so far before people figured him out. | ||

I wouldnt necessarily say that, great was only on 3 bases, he didnt take his mineral only. He was well saturated, but movie could have matched it easily on 2 bases (especially with that DT starting his rampage when great attacked). He was moving out to take a third, and he had a shuttle full of reavers, a goon heavy, yet diverse army, and several high templars with plenty of storms (as seen while defending the hydras). If he hadnt lost that shuttle, he would have given great a run for his money. If only... That's why foreigners cant play sair-reaver either, one slip, and its over. | ||

The only retard here is you since you are trying to bait me into a flame war, not to mention your post is ridiculously trollish. It's true though that Great had an econ advantage when he expanded at the 5 o'clock earlier, right? Earlier Movie sent like 6 zealots, a bunch of sairs, and a shuttle I think with reavers in it, but he backed off, why? That 5 o'clock expansion should have been easily taken down. | ||

I agree with most of your post. But not one part about the Proleague. Fantasy was too displaying some of the best Proleague results and even was able to beat and rank up to players like Jaedong and Stork (he even beat both of them, Jaedong twice in PL finals, and Stork in Ro16). Flash at that time might have been considered an underdog against Jaedong and Stork while Fantasy could par with them and sometimes even win. | ||

His TvZ build (which was invented by oov and taught to him) allowed him to take other Zergs by surprise and consequently he enjoyed a relatively short period of prominence. Once Zergs figured out his strategy, he had nothing left to offer them. Today, he's still struggling to do these gimmicky TvZ builds that are out-dated and have been figured out. A guy like Hwasin, if in shape, will always perform well in TvZ because Hwasin is good with standard bio TvZ. Fantasy on the other hand is done in TvZ, unless he figures out some new gimmick. | ||

Fantasy's TvT has always been the top, his TvP is very good, but his TvZ is completely held together by gimmicks. Except a few games (like his game against Jaedong on Outsider), he has always relied on unconventional play to beat good zergs. | ||

Fantasy can't control mnm correctly, so he needs to make new timings and all with mech to win. To him, he needs to create new builds since he knows that he can't control mnm. Every progamer can create new builds and they will look gimmicky once someone has found a way to counter them. | ||

To him, he needs to create new builds since he knows that he can't control mnm. Every progamer can create new builds and they will look gimmicky once someone has found a way to counter them. Yeah but you see that's difference between Flash and Fantasy, Flash can control MnMs just as good as Mech while Fantasy can't. So by that logic Flash > Fantasy. | ||

I'm probably fighting a losing argument here (my being a fan of Fantasy got into my head) but what you said is not right. Just because you can control one thing better than another person does not make you better. I mean, if i could control vultures better than you, that does not mean im better than you.

(even though i am )Yes it does means you are better. Lets look at it like this. Fantasy can control Mech at A level and Bionic at B level. Flash can control Mech at A level AND Bionic at A level. So Flash > Fantasy. If you don't want to look at who have the better control, lets look at the accomplishment, Flash with 2 StarLeague under his belt while Fantasy is off collecting Silvers. And lets look at stats now, Flash have over 70% in all matchups while Fantasy don't. And look at ELO, once again Flash > Fantasy. Not saying that I hate his creative build or anything (I actually look up to his TvP) but you just CAN'T say that Fantasy is better than Flash. | ||

EDIT: you should have mentioned the starleagues and ELO earlier (i never thought of them). And yea...i knew that Flash was better than Fantasy (i'm a fan of Fantasy so it explains a lot) but i was really talking about whether Fantasy is "gimmicky or not" | ||

That's why its gimmicky - its easily crushed, requires your opponent to do exactly what you want him to do, and thus its extremely fragile. Leta with his two port wraith was extremely gimmicky and guess what? The build was very quickly its buried into the ground because everyone and his dog found out how to embarrass you for choosing the build. The problem is until Fantasy actually plays like the Crown Prince of SKT's terran line, he'll still be guy to embarrass himself against Clam. He's out of options: the valkyrie build barely works these days, every good zerg knows how to fight mech since it was being used so often, and his strange mech switch mid game timing has already been exposed to the public. He'll have trouble finding TvZ success until he actually learns how to consistently win with ever flexible SK terran since mech is one of those map dependent units much like carriers. A real shame because his TvP and TvT are really amazing things to watch. | ||
