I think you're confusing Stork with Flash. | ||

I haven't, because it's totally fucking boring. +1 flash is good. no question about that. but id rather watch D- players than watch flash. at least you get some entertainment out of how bad they are | ||

Watching seasoned professionals who have dedicated years to BW get brutally dismantled with methodical precision is very much worth watching. Love the "wtf how do you beat that" moments. | ||

God, it's ridiculous how much people are overhyping Stork lately. Stork is nowhere close to being a bonjwa. He could get dual golds this season and he still wouldn't be close to being bonjwa. When he can consistently do well in proleague and starleagues over several seasons, including consistently beating the other top players in Bo5s, then maybe he'll be bonjwa material. Beating Bisu in a Bo3 and beating JD in proleague, and making it to the Ro4/Ro8 of the OSL/MSL doesn't make you a rising bonjwa. | ||

Guess team tags and a chance to criticize others is all you look for in comments. So i am suppose to state bisu fans instead of SKT fans? sry then... cause most of the comments that points out about all-in are with the SKT logo | ||

 Stork deserves a ton of hype, yes, but I agree that he's nowhere near bonjwa. Flash had to reach dual finals 3 times in a row, winning vs JD (the obviously second best player in the world during that time) in three consecutive finals before people finally accepted him as such. | ||

He attacked Zero's weakness for being zerg on a map where zerg can't expand everywhere. There are fundamental differences between Protoss and Terran. There's a reason why there are no protosses who have mastered the art of turtling. | ||

Hey, remember that game where Flash beat Best by harassing him to death with dropships? That must mean Flash is all about econ harass based play just like Bisu! | ||

Proven only Terran can, Zerg are just part timers like savior and jaedong. This is the reason everyone cheer stork. | ||

He used the most direct build to late game pvp, didnt expect stork as macro player to play aggressive. its the size of the map, if you watch the game youll see bisu dodging the obs path with his dt. That would normally allow or the dt timing to catch stork off guard, because with an observer on the other corner of the map (longest possible distance) bisu could do a ton of damage, the key to this game is that stork both noticed a dt with his dragoon and that he counted the goons guarding bisu's base, and thus built a second obs and made a wall with his units instead of immediately getting a shuttle and reaver. At that point bisu needed to buy time because storks build (since it wasnt fast tech) had him at 4 gates to 2 (and actually 3 to 1) at one point, so he moved the shuttle out hoping to get some time. What then happened was stork saw the shuttle move out and contrary to popular belief was trying to catch the shuttle (watch where his goons go) and secure his win, when the shuttle wasnt there (bisu moves it because he sees that stork saw his shuttle because of goon movement) he realizes his shuttle either a, went the long way around to slip past goons or b, is ridiculously out of position dodging his goons, both of which tell him that the time to attack is now. Stork was not really aggressive he just played out his build order advantage correctly, before bisu had the gates to match stork. | ||
