Stork played such a fine game with his super fast third expansion. Templars were out, obs were out. A million zealots had been teleported in from some other dimension. That fucking storm. . .

Well I don't know for sure how they're doing it this season, but in the last msl it was only 1 week of waiting because they finished the last 2 games of each series in days 3 and 4.

Wait, what? I had people over so I missed the games, but Stork forgot Storm? Damn, that joins the list of SC facepalms (sAviOr and Adrenal Glands, Stork and Dragoon Range, Jaedong and Consume...am I forgetting anything?)
Also, awesome to come back and see Jaedong winning. From the LR, looks like the game was pretty epic. Will need to watch when VODs come out.

ggaemo forgot ling speed in one game or something for a while, but not so sure.
I played an entire TvZ without stim once. Never noticed my rines weren't stimming (mostly due to the fact that I couldn't hear any game sounds due to loud music). I knew something weird was going on because lings didn't melt in front of my MnM balls the way they're supposed to, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it until the end of the game. No idea how I could pay such bad attention to my units.

There was a Proleague game a day or two ago when somebody forgot siege.

Aw man, I should make a compilation of these. Would be interesting. Wish I had the time for it.

Maybe he needs to take time off of proleague to practice. That would surely help. Worked so well last MSL, right?... Right?...
Well actually... yeah, Stork's pretty much the 2nd best PvZer, going by consistency (which is what ELO aims to measure mainly). Which says as much about PvZ as about Stork, really. Although for all the bad press he gets a 57% winrate ain't bad.
It's more that Stork's PvZ tends to what I call "fantasy syndrome" - beat Jaedong one day, lose to Shine (or worse, Orion) the next by dumb mistakes. Recently though it's been more "bad Jaedong syndrome" - lose to every good player he faces.
On the other hand, it's also clear that nobody except Bisu is actually really good at PvZ on a consistent basis - but when we say Bisu's really good, we mean godlike good. 171 ELO clear of the #2 PvZ? Amazing. Highest matchup ELO of any P in any matchup? Ridiculous. 2nd highest matchup ELO of any player in any matchup (after Flash's TvT)? Insane.

Stork's PvZ is kind of like Bisu's PvT. Bisu has the third-best lifetime PvT record (for players over 33 wins in that match-up; Snow has 63.89% and 23 wins) at 61.08%, after Stork's 66.82% and BeSt's 64.21%. Stork has the fifth-best lifetime PvZ record at 55.94%, after Bisu's 70.93%, Movie's 56.76%, free's 56.43%, and Kal's 56% - and those last numbers are so close that it's basically a four-way tie for second-best PvZ, with Bisu having lapped everyone else.
In any case, I think that for both Bisu's PvT and Stork's PvZ, they're both excellent match-ups for them, comparing historically to both older players and their contemporaries, but because Bisu's PvT gets compared to his PvZ and to Stork's PvT, and Stork's PvZ gets compared to his PvT and Bisu's PvZ, it makes them look worse than they actually should.
