There is a huge difference between Fantasy's TvZ and TvP. He has this amazing ability to make flabbergastingly stupid decisions in TvZ (sometimes he can play in a way that makes JD look like a fool though ) while his TvP is about as solid as can be. So judging his ability to take down Stork based on how he played vs Calm is dumb.

That being said, Stork's PvT is retardedly good. I think it would be close and entertaining. ^__^

man calm had the lead at a point in every game (except maybe the 4th I guess). While his overaggression paid off in the 1st game, it just wasn't good enough in games 2/5.

man those fucking wraiths :\

I wonder if it would of actually been a good idea to still drone scout in the 4th set. he would of been able to stall baracks longer and possibly stop the wall from getting put up. it's not like he needed the extra drone mining anyway.

This was indeed a poor man's Flash VS Jaedong.

The last person to 4 pool twice in a row was Jaedong, and it went the exact same way this did: win the first one, lose the second one.
Jaedong plz

Fantasy is prolly the one guy who deserves an individual league title the most right now. He has been an absolute force for over a year and his ELO peak holds the company of many other individual league winners.
Stork is arguably in the best shape of his BW career, so he might just deny it from Fantasy unless he gets burned out from being in two leagues, which very well might happen.

Calm could have won the last game if he mass expod after the first hydra bust which killed nearly all fantasy's army. Pure mass is the only counter to mech. Clever hydra/queen play never works. When just talking army composition zerg has no counter to mech.

I'm a fan of a player who I thought was the most talented player to ever play the game, yet only had 1 single title to his name (something that changed dramatically in 2010). I can totally understand the happiness Fantasy-fans would feel if he finally got that Starleague win.

Humiliating decisions by Calm.. Come on, is 4 pools and hydra/lurkling all ins the best zerg can do? What about beastly late game play like soulkey or action?

He did builds that do well against fantasy's trademark abusive/greedy openings. Trying to wall your nat with a standard rax and going gas first deserves to be 4 pooled. He often has gaping holes in his strategies where he just assumes the zerg will play standard and he has few units. Off-beat builds are the way to take it to him so you can't blame calm for mixing it up.

Fantasy vs Stork is really a matchup heavily favoring stork the way hes been playing lately. (i love how no one has even mentioned modesty making the finals.)

Just finished watching all of the games; wow, they were highly entertaining indeed, Fantasy vs. Calm always delivers, hahahah.

I must say that Fantasy got INCREDIBLY lucky in the 4th and 5th game. Especially in the last game where he scouted Calm's spire going up, along with that extremely clutch scan that caught the queen flying over to his troops so that he could react in time. With all that luck on his side, he had enough time to do the correct reactions to whatever tricks Calm had up his sleeve. :D

I did feel sorry for Calm though, when it looked like he was sniffing in the back room after the last game. Having revenge denied sucks, but he still has the MSL to take! ;]

I think Modesty could win the OSL Finals, but can anyone be surprised that a guy named "Modesty" doesn't have a bunch of rabid fanboys talking about how unstoppable he is in this OSL?

i don't really care who wins this as long as it's not modesty. both stork and fantasy deserve it. fantasy is arguably the #2 terran player with the long history of promised greatness, which weights upon him constantly to the point of people not acknowledging his substantial achievements and ability. stork too is still being underrated. he's pretty much the best modern protoss player.

Stork has to beat Modesty now. Fantasy vs Stork rematch will be so epic. I'm just worried because Stork has to practice for MSL as well.

Clam must have felt so stupid after throwing away game 5. Can't believe he threw away the game in that fashion.

When fantasy has a TvZ that isn't hilarious to watch in a BAD way he will deserve a title.

While a burnout is completely possible it's also worth noting that he only has to practive pvz.

I'm willing to bet my life on Stork eventually winning this OSL, should he beat Modesty in the other semi-final. Fantasy's TvP is really cute, but it simply doesn't stand a chance against Stork's abusive PvT. Against Stork's style you can only leave no room for mistakes, something that only Flash has the ability to so far. Not to mention Fantasy still has holes in his mind-game capability and late-game management in TvP.
