Not that Fantasy isn't deserving, or extremely talented, I just felt Stork was on a roll. Kudos to Fantasy, 3-0 ovr Stork in a finals means a great deal. | ||

And fantasy is only good because ovv tells him what to do, despite the fact that SKT1 (oov coaches them all remember) only has one terran thats even somewhat decent or better and thats fantasy. I mean youd think oov could coach  Ssak to at least a ro16 after being the sole reason behind fantasy's OSL win right? Oh yeah and didn't fantasy also beat jaedong TWICE in the proleague finals 2 seasons ago when jaedong was the best player in the world to bring the title to T1 right? And hasn't he made 2 OSL finals before this one and played brilliantly (although losing 2-3) in both of them? And didn't he completely revolutionize mech tvz and make huge contributions to the current metagame in the matchup? Just like he just did in tvp against shuttle play in these finals? Oh yeah and weren't all of the maps he beat stork on protoss favored? And hasn't stork been playing absolutely brilliantly lately, winning 9 of his previous 10 pvts against some of the best terrans like Sea, HiyA, Mind, and Light, before the finals only to lose 0-3 to fantasy? But all that brilliance doesn't matter cause there might have been a girlfriend or something right that erased all that pvt brilliance.Ya fantasy hasn't proved himself after all that he sucks. he doesn't deserve any respect or credit for the win imo | ||

But that does not mean that there was not factors that played a part in stork losing in such a way. A osl final is a tricky thing that is not just about who is the best player. I mean when Jaedong played Flash there was also alot of different factors that affected the outcome. Was Flash a deserving champion that played brilliant, of course he was, one thing does not exclude another. Now chill and lets move on. | ||

You realize i'm talking about game 3 right? Not 1 or 2 in which going reaver was the mistake. In 3 you got a stargate doing NOTHING while arbiter tech is built and even getting killed by Fantasy; a scout would have definitely helped in the situation. Just like a scout or 2 would have helped BeSt during his arbiter transition against Flash on Fortress. Are you really arguing a unit that kills dropships/mines easily would not help him in that game? If you think it's bad just because it's not been done thats very limited and stupid thinking. It was an example of what he could of done. At the least he could have gone multiple shuttles knowing it's going to be a dropfest, we've seen the same done on Outsider near the end of its lifetime in PvT with both races going up to 4 dropships/shuttles. Even with multiple shuttles, the scout still compliments the shuttles because it takes away the turret fire allowing you to NOT GET THE SHUTTLE/OBSERVERS KILLED. He could have been zealot/goon dropping the left corner of his base with ease and stopped what was happening. But nah you're right he should have just played out he did, as if it was a regular PvT and trying to break a choke down the middle and constant elevator in his base with totally standard play. Stopping the dropship from giving aerial view over the wall in the first place would have been a good idea at the least. Kal has used a scout successfully in a different type of manner before to help break a no-goliath contain on his base. Think of it as a temporary alternative to a wraith in a TvT like situation except they do even more damage air to air. Also they can clear mines from inside your own base with zero risk. Think outside the box a little and maybe you'll play better SC yourself. Edit: Just watching the proleague game, even then it would have helped to have 1/2 scouts compared to the units/probes he lost to harass on both sides of the map. If it didnt kill or force the dropship away. it would at least, force the drop of goliaths with vulture/tank instead therefore making it less effective. And then you still got an easily mobile air minesweeper when paired with an obs. If you think resources are SO precious you can't afford to fit a couple of scouts anywhere in a build then you must cringe when seeing Stork run 5 zealots into mines or just constantly losing goons to mines. | ||

SCOUTS DO NOT DO ANYTHING. They cost a ton, take a long time to build, take three hits to kill a single mine, and one upgraded goliath will counter two scouts. There's a reason why scouts are pretty much NEVER used. | ||

1. That is probably the coolest hype video i've ever seen in the OP. 2. Wow fantasy. Gratz on a long over-due OSL! Lucky JD wasn't there :D 3. Stork keeping the silver industry running. | ||

Scouts are absolutely horrible and unused for a reason. They cost a shitton, they're slow, and just plain get killed with ease. Sniping dropships is a task more suitable for the corsair, if you really want to use an air unit for some reason. Quick, half the cost, and more effective in large numbers. Even the corsair costs more than the benefit it usually provides though. | ||

Just a small correction: Flash won 3-2 against JD in the MSL where he beat Fantasy, not 3-0. | ||

stork looked pretty solid game1 but he was just totally read by fantasy. when the armory and academy went up i was like holy shit no way. then he deflected the shuttle with gols and almost took it down with scan + range. stork's biggest mistake was going in with the shuttle again -__- game2 i was expecting stork to do something totally whack just to throw fantasy off a little seeing as how he got read game1, but he still did 1gate reaver which was quite lackluster. fantasy just read stork again deeming that his play is too rigid and stubborn and teched straight to wraiths and cleaned out the shuttle. game3 was just sad to look at. stork had lost it and fantasy was just in the zone, setting mine traps stork just walked into and using dropship flawlessly. i think stork needs to evolve as a player and stop doing the same thing over and over and over again. yes he's good at goon heavy play with reaver opening but fantasy has just proven that it can be beaten. fantasy really deserved the OSL. hope stork will recollect his thoughts and not take this too hard. hope his personal life didn't affect him too much, plenty of girls out there. | ||

I dunno why you'd be so against the idea when he lost a shitload more resources attempting to clean up the corner of his base. The scout or 2 would have at least forced goliaths in order to get the dropships into the base, which is good. | ||

During the game however, he was banking on the faster arbiter to have a bigger impact on the game flow. Going for scouts would have delayed that forever. Obviously, this decision didn't pay out in the end but sticking with that build order seemed a more reasonable response than experimenting on the spot. PS: Fantasy had perfect scouting of Stork's economy and base at all times. The moment scouts come out he would know how little Stork's ground army would be due to the resources spent on those. Forget dropship play, Fantasy would just beeline his ground forces straight to the natural. | ||

Sairs suck against dropships in this particular situation while you can micro a scout back and forth above the wall on pathfinder to get the decent damage on them. The sair just chases the dropship away with its weak damage. When Fantasy was moving dropship back and forth for aerial view a scout would have been preferable to a corsair in the situation for sure.
