After that third went down for Zero, rest of the game was a simple formality.

And his game vs Hydra was just Hydra really fucking up his Muta/Scourge control while 6 Zealots broke the shoddy simcity at the natural (1 sunken some lings vs 6-7 +1 speedlots.. we've seen this occur commonly.. like 8 months ago rofl). Once the economic damage was done, Hydra was done for because there's no easy fourth/imba simcity for Hydra to fall back on (on a map like La Mancha Hydra would've had a better chance of coming back). Stats being the solid protoss he is, doesn't epicly fuck up like many other Protosses would do and went on to win that game.

As for free, its true he hasn't had many notable wins in the vZ matchup for the past year, other than his Bo3 victory over Zero (back in '10..), but there are some notable plays he's done in his victories

Three gate is all-in? Why, just because he delayed the Archives momentarily? What world do you live in? He didn't even cut probe production to do it.

Just one nitpick after another. You just can't bare to consider the idea that Stats played brilliantly and constantly kept pressure on Zero and Hydra. He had fantastic control and strategy in both games.

Bisu does this kind of zealot rushes routinely. Are you going to disregard half the games he plays?


Well calling it an all in might be going to far, at least by conventional definitions, but i think it is fair to say it was a pretty big to risk, and I think he knew that. I think the second stargate was exactly because he knew that if he didn't do damage, he would be in alot of trouble. In this sense, I agree that it wasn't a mindfuck so much as good foward planning incase his plan A didn't pan out the way he wanted.

As for comparing it to Bisu's zealot rushes, I think you are doing your argument a disservice by using the comparison. Bisu does his off 2 gates, and THAT already delays his archives. I'm not even convinced that it's particularly low risk, it's merely that he manages to force damage so often.
But 3 gates and building zealots off them is definitely going to set your archive timing back by a long way, and goes to show just how much of a risk Stats was taking.

All in All though, i think Stats would actually be a fairly decent choice for ace if Flash is for whatever reason not feeling up to it. I would fancy he has better than even odds vs Bisu, slightly disfavoured vs Fantasy, and somewhat disfavoured odds vs SKT zergs which i think have no way in hell of being sent out for ace. I think Flash is just all round a better ace option than Stats vs SKT, but Stats is a very valid threat vs the entire SKT line, being nearly 50% vs just about everyone on it(except like ssak, yeonjae, frotoss and by.sun who he would slaughter).
MSL, 2003-2011, RIP. OSL, 2000-2012, RIP. Proleague, 2003-2012, RIP. And then there was none... Even good things must come to an end.

Well, according to Coach Lee's tweet, the final is sometime next week in Seoul. He didn't specify what date. No official confirmation yet. Netizen speculation is that it's between the 17th and 19th.

hahaha BW fans of all ppl should know that seconds differences can spell the difference between GG and victory. Say the all-in fails to do any damage, and then what happens? Hydra wave rolls out to abuse the late storm and probably takes out the natural (Hydra wave is effective even if Protoss gets Archives after 1Gate, what makes you think 3 would fare any better?). If Mutas, then the lack of Corsairs spell the end of Stats (he built that second Stargate as a precaution against Mutas, not to mindtrick).

Stats played well, seeing as how once he got the enormous advantage he never let go, but those playoff games were more of the Zerg's mistakes than Stats' own "brilliance" (unless he somehow convinced Hydra and Zero that one sunken would be enough [it's not], then that would be brilliant persuasion on Stats' part)

Don't even spew out shit you don't know about, like "Bisu does this kind of zealot rushes routinely" proves you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. If you had even watched any of his games, you would know that Bisu always gets that Archives off of 1 Gate (2 occasionally, if the map allows it) when doing +1 Corsair/Speedlot.

Yeah, Fomos initially said they were going to announce it today. I don't know the reason for the delay but I don't really mind as long as they find an appropriate venue.

At the very least 4-1. As i always say "Fantasy In Finals"
KT could very well lose it 0-4 if Fantasy or Best plays Flash.

its because fantasy never played against flash that he won all games in finals.

im pretty sure that, sadly, SKT will win the finals 4-1 or 4-2 but i believe that flash will destroy his opponent whether its F/B/B or SKT zerg

the last few matches between fantasy and flash have always been very intense, long, drawn-out TvTs, which could pose a serious problem for flash's wrist.

That wont be a problem in the final match. Flash will go all out regardless. He becomes a machine, devoid of emotions and feelings during the game
Aah thats the stuff..

Just as long as flash doesnt forget the motor oil mixture he prepares in that little bottle of his, he should be fine. Me thinks fantasy and bisu will be sent our first on beltway abd alternative respectively. And kt will snipe accordingly with flash and stats

They said they would release it two days ago and didn't. Then they said they would release it yesterday and didn't. They have said it will be released today.

yeah, he lost the exact same way to Leta, although leta played fucking brilliant.
Leta vs Flash is the new Flash vs FBH, but Flash vs Fantasy will be the new "fantasy in finals" reference.

I know right? Who wouldn't be pumped about seeing Bisu ripping shits (or Flash) up?

At first i thought KT probably can take a game or two off of us, since our preparation advantage is considered gone. But the more this wait goes on the more i think we ll be winning 4-0. I even had a dream about that last night, with Fantasy winning the 4th game, and me dissing on KT losing w/o Bisu even playing. >.<
