yeah the 2nd obs made the win easy. Stork is really detailed in starcraft by knowing bisu's resource count, i didnt see him get the 2nd obs after 1st obs in pvp before.

i like how the SKT fans claiming that its an all in... and when bisu does that, its a perfect timing push... lol... everybody will cut probes or scvs for timing pushes. if opponent expands and u dont expand but mass and army for a timing push, thats called all in?? i really cant understand those skt fans, too much fan boyism That's totally uncalled for. Looks like you're the one with too much fanboyism for your own team, pointing out SKT fans from the rest. 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
You don't have to point out any fans of [insert whatever here]. Looking down on other people is wrong; they most likely made a genuine mistake. It's just a coincidence that most people who thought Bisu did an all-in have the SKT logo, whether they were upset over Bisu's loss or not.
Even though SKT and KT fans normally "dislike" each other, that's a bit too harsh to call SKT fans wrong because they were blinded by fanboyism, when we could say the same about KT fans in any other situation where they make a mistake, or heck, any other team's fans.
So let's avoid the team/fan bashing, okay? Save that stuff when SKT faces off against KT next time.

It makes me so ill inside thinking of the number of times there have been Zerg heavy playoff pools and Bisu has ALWAYS been drawn against T/P. I mean if he has to meet Stork in the Ro4 and loses then fine, at least we get a Bo5 and he can shown he is capable of making a semi-final again. To go out in the Ro16 though vs. one of the two players in the field who could beat him just hurts though

Flash is easily the most dynamic and interesting terran player to watch. He varies his builds almost every game, and has an absolutely ridiculous win-rate doing it. He wins using every strategy you can possibly think of to win with, and a lot you can't. He'll bunker rush a 12 nexus after scouting it late, he'll use dropships and utterly embarrass Best in his strongest matchup on his favorite map; TvZ he has unorthodox infantry timings vs zerg to deny their third that require impeccable micro vs lings and mutas to not get raped (and thus few other terran players really even attempt -- and honestly he occasionally shouldn't, since it occasionally loses him an OSL finals), and don't even get me started on how his marines often seem to be invincible to lurkers; his TvT at his worst involves throwing away countless units and still making a game of it with impeccable macro, and at his best is a fucking vice closing on your throat one expansion at a time. His defense is incredible, his attacks are at insane timings, his control is often so astonishingly good that it's ridiculous. Any player who is capable of beating him is a testament to countless hours of hard work, and these days it's hard to call most of flash's rare losses anything but flukes.
And I'm not even a flash fanboy: you have to give credit where it's due. He's hands down the most skilled terran to ever play the game and he's goddamn impressive to watch. If anyone thinks otherwise, they're not a fan of starcraft, end of discussion.

Yeah, it's totally this. If you watch the minimap, all game long Stork was playing reactionary to what Bisu was doing. Stork's decision making and game sense is crazy good right now. I haven't seen Stork's early game PvZ in a while so I'm looking forward to Stork vs Modesty. As far as the mid-game and beyond, Stork is looking pretty unbeatable at the moment.

as someone has said before Stork might be hitting a second career peek. I guess there must be some very special reason that he is now pushing himself to escape the sea of mediocrity that he was in during the first half of 2010.
also, KT vs Khan is going to be an epic acid test for Stork. That is, provided that he (or Flash) could be sent. 
I remember Flash defeated all TaekBangLee during his rampage of the last SWL. Imagine if Stork defeats TaekLeeSsang within just one week this time? lol mind = blown.

Everyone who says flash's play style is boring, are they all sarcastic too?
I took the opportunity presented to respond to the annoyingly persistent idea that the most dynamic terran player of all time is boring to watch. The sarcasm only works because there are people who truly think something so utterly ridiculous. No one who is a fan of starcraft would say something like that.
That said, I do understand that it is repetitious to see one or two players consistently dominating everyone else, but since when is losing in an utterly dominated fashion the fault of the winner? It would be good for all of broodwar if the other players stepped up their games and made it more competitive. This brings us full circle to why people are excited about stork doing well and why we started talking about flash in the first place.
edit: Thanks for clarifying, holgerius, Poe's Law and all that.

No, certainly they are not, but surely you must haven't noticed that Holg is probably the most openly ... supportive to Flash.
tbh I can't even think of anyone with a KT tag that doesn't have something for Flash.

Sorry, but must disagree.
1. There was no DT timing. Because he had no scouting info for the early game given the BO disadvantage(pylon before Core vs Bisu's Core before pylon). Stork went with perhaps the safest PvP BO that perhaps ever existed. 2-gate obs basically prevent any cheese. But also inherently disadvantageous against quick expansion. Stork did not need to see the DT nor count Bisu's goons. It was his BO that stopped the DTs.
2. Bisu's DT-Expansion is a normal PvP build. It's also an economic build. Not cheese. DTs give you map control and cannons prevent quick counter/opposing DTs. Observers does not counter dt-expansion. Especially not in cross position. Bisu had earlier expansion, better tech tree, and all he needed to do was play standard to maintain a healthy advantage.
3. Bisu never needed to "buy time". He just needed to stop freaking make every tech imaginable before adding gateways. For christ sakes Bisu was upgrading +1, storm, two templars, shuttle, observers, etc. that his goon range didn't even finish when Stork arrived. Whatever each player opened, you don't have less than half the opponent's dragoon count when he reaches your base in cross positions WITH EARLIER EXPANSION. Think about how greedy you have to be for that to happen.
Stork never had the BO advantage. He had the "Bisu played like it was 15-minutes no attack" advantage.
Edit: From Stork's interview
+ Show Spoiler +- You played a beautiful match.
▲After our openings I thought it was my reavers against his HT, but I saw with my obs that he only built 2 HT, so he must have used his gas for something else. Normally reaver goon combo would not necessarily work against his build, but after seeing this situation I attacked decisively and it worked perfectly.
Edit2: The Flash fan rage in this thread is hilarious.
