From the player's own mouth:
What kind of help did your coaching team give you?
▲ They helped a lot around the builds.
(T)iloveoov coach told me not to think about too many things at once, but instead, think only about a single build made around one of the opponent's possible build.
So, OOV's advice was don't think about anything. Just do that single build that counters your opponent's possible build.
Yeah, it's such an excuse... And OOV isn't the only coach. There's a whole coaching staff, and he locked up Jaehoon and Flash.
Fantasy was willing to sell his ass to a gang of convicts to win these Finals. Stork couldn't even be bothered looking for practice partners outside his house.
OSL Finals = Fantasy ridic preparation team > Stork's arrogance.

I was around, i just have a poor memory. Thanks to you and the others for explaining.

For dealing with Flash haters when he goes into god-mode?

It's important to note what the purpose of this entire discussion is.
If we're talking about who has better raw skill, then perhaps Stork beats Fantasy out. I can't really say for sure because I honestly wouldn't know where to start deciding on this one.
On the other hand, if we're talking about results, which is obviously more important at face value, then Fantasy still has his time to come. It wouldn't be fair to compare Stork and Fantasy, and even so, Fantasy has not done badly since his emergence on the scene.
I really don't get why there are so many arguments about who is "better" or whatever. Or why there needs to be so much belittling. When it comes down to it, it's only fair to criticize the player who loses. Also, it's incredibly selfish to get angry and call out people who are amazed at the skills of the winner, and also to insult the winner.
Please... just take a step back and look at what you've typed before you post.
EDIT: I just realized, if these topics were to be discussed in person, NO ONE would act as unreasonably as they have in these threads. And if they did, they would be seen as petty whiners that no one would like. It's disgusting what anonymity does to a person.

That's TVZ. Watch some more of Fantasy vs Zerg.
Anyway Stork should have really won the OSL but meh.
He lost, it's over. Get over yourself fanboys. Saying anything else to take belittle Fantasy's is just excuses. Fantasy outplayed him. If it's anyone you should be angry with it's Stork. He had what 3 weeks to practice PVT? and what did he come up with? Reaver harass into carrier on maps that aren't suited for it and shouldn't go for it base on scouting info. And when on maps that should have done reaver harass he didn't. GO Write angry message to STORK. Stork fails you guys. DOn't take it out on Fantasy.

Just an observation about tonight's games, and SWL tend in general:
+ Show Spoiler [other match too] +
Tonight's number of games: 14
P's in non-mirrors: 6-1
Tonight's number of PvPs: 7
Tonight's wins by non-Ps: 2
Games involving no Ps: 1
So much protoss. So much protoss that you can only beat protoss with other protoss LoL

So Fantasy's coaching staff prepares his builds for him while Stork's only tells him how to better his mechanics?

Khan are doing really well at the moment, for the first time in a while it seems we have some semblance of "depth". Ofc depth doesnt help you much in WL, but we have Stork for that

The OSL Finals were a sham. It's as simple as SKT1 coaching staff >>>> Khan coaching staff. Without 1000 strategists to hold his hand, Fanta is just a mediocre terran. Crap like this is utterly ignorant. Fantasy's builds last night were prepped to snipe Stork's expected reaver play. Fantasy tried one of the builds (the game 1 build) from last night expecting more of the same, and stork mixed it up... he basically TRIPLE EXPANDED... Fantasy would have been better off doing a 5fact push or something (like he did in game 2).
Fanta seemed alright until he let a lot of tanks get caught unsieged by a bunch of goons. He just wasn't as sharp today as yesterday.

Also Fantasy screwed up by running unsieged tanks into stork's army and we know that it's not something he does every game. It's funny how when Stork plays below his own standard the games don't "count" as an indicator of his skill level, but when Fantasy does the same he is obviously the inferior player on a consistent basis.

Guys, guys, stop belittling Fantasy. It's Stork that fails!
Nice post.
I can't speak for other rabid KHAN fans, but as a Stork fan and Fantasy antifan long before this series, I can tell you I'm not on an anti-Fantasy campaign here. It's the particularly vitriolic T1 FANS misrepresenting Fantasy's abilities that gets my goat. Some hyperbole is fun, but witnessing the posts of people who only like Fantasy because he's on the team that has Bisu on it and they used to play Protoss back in 2008 before giving up on iccup... it must be responded to! It must!

Oh yeah, he can play cellphone games and win in PL. But while Fantasy works his ass off in the finals, he can do nothing but play more cellphone games. That doesn't help him at all.

Fantasy to practice partners: Play exactly like Stork and I will try to beat you.
Stork to practice partners: Play terran and I will beat you.
This is why Fantasy won the OSL.

Fantasy has to have something...otherwise Canata would have succeeded.
Canata's signature was losing after gaining an advantage, something Fantasy does occasionally but not like Canata did. Fantasy is still doing well in WL - do you think he has to prepare *everything*? Whether you like it or not he has the fundamentals to perform.
What Fantasy is not is Flash, who probably has the best overall game sense in the world, takes all sorts of calculated risks and adapts his play very very well. But really, who else has that? No other Terran does, that's for sure. JD is great at adapting but still loses games to overaggression.

I wonder how much of this "Stork can play cell phone games all night and still deliver" is actually true. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he practiced as much as he could this season.

Lol I'm gonna let loose a little on this one, so bear with me.
Suck on it. Yea, SUCK ON IT.
Sorry, your favorite little player Stork lost yesterday. Oh wait, I really don't care about that because I don't focus on the loser of the match. I focus on the only player that I care about, which is Fantasy. And guess what? He won yesterday, that's enough to make me happy, and not that Stork lost.
But apparently you can't deal with that.
If you're not happy, then you don't want anyone else to be happy either.
And not only that, you feel the need to take your disappointment and sadness and make that into hatred towards Fantasy and his fans. Is that not true? One shouldn't feel angry that another player won, one should only feel disappointment because his favorite player lost.
Only those who are too weak to deal with those emotions feels to need to lash out at others, acting like an immature child. I'm sorry, but the world is not "fair". And by fair I mean "does not go the way you want everything to go" because nothing about yesterday's results were unfair.
Once again I'm going to say, if anything, criticize Stork for letting you down. Stop tearing down others to fulfill your own inability to deal when things don't go your way.
