He had a higher chance of losing if he opted for barracks / research cancels and put scvs back on gas and started making 3 more factories and upgrading mines / speed out of the 1 machine shop.

Jangbi opted for DTs opening AND expanded before DTs attack. So?
Because Flash can't check if Jangbi expanded because he can't spare scans due to DT's, so he has to play in the blind, and the higher probability is that jangbi continued production out of the >=2 gates he has for a break at Flash's natural. Stopping production of marines and going factories would mean a huge gap in how many units he has on the field vs Jangbi's in that hypothetical situation. He would lose almost certainly. In the event that Jangbi did expand, flash still had a chance with the bio mech build he had to break jangbi's natural. He tried to, but jangbi delayed him enough. If someone asked you "I saw no natural and fast dragoons so I responded with Marine / medic / tank, then I saw DT's", would you tell him "cancel your marine / medic / research / barracks and make factories/ start mines and vulture speed research even though your timing with those are incredibly behind"? The logical move was to pressure Jangbi with what ever unit combination you had and commit to the attack, because either you are able to fight off Jangbi's gateway aggression and/or kill his potential natural, or you lose from a break or a macro game where the opponent has higher tech advantage against your composition.

To put Stork's 100 OSL victories (including qualifiers - which makes the numbers slightly misleading) into context:
Boxer: 83+25=108 wins
Stork: 77 OSL proper wins + 22 qualifier wins + 1 today = 100 wins
July: 74+26=100 wins
Yellow: 77+22=99 wins
Nada: 65+24=89 wins
Flash: 74+13=87 wins
Reach: 56+24=80 wins
Jaedong: 56+13=69 wins
iloveoov: 49+15=64 wins
Fantasy: 61+0=61 wins
Bisu: 48+9=57 wins

FWIW, Jangbi in his post-game interview said he knew he won when his DT scouted the bio-mech. So really Flash was dead at that point and any transition, or lack thereof, would not have made a difference.

Flash can't check? How about using your units to scout instead of relying on early precious scans? And to confirm it, Jangbi DID expand and as 2 gates at that time. And about your hypothetical chance of breaking P's nat, we all see how good that chance was. "He tried to, but jangbi delayed him enough" - Of course your opponent would not just sit there letting you do whatever you want. Isn't this the point of it - if the tactics is not very viable, your should choose another way? In the end you still can't prove that going bio is the best way for Flash. Like I said, and I hope don't have to repeat this again, bio is the worst possible choice for Flash at that situation.

Thanks a lot for that !
Stork can be one game close to win the OSL, but still top BoxeR ! (1 win Ro16, 3 wins Ro8, 3 wins Ro4, 2 wins Finals, total 109).
In that case they should really make him a silver mouse.

Oh no, Flash 
Well, I'm sure he can still beat the rest of the group easily.

Flash made the mistake of trying to go bio. But once you make bio, you have to continue with it until you can reasonably transition. After he scouted DT there's 0 way he could transition into mech until he had found a way to do it without falling incredibly behind.
The situation is not that he shouldn't have gone bio, but once he made that choice, he has to stick with it.

I don't know how they calculate it but July has 98 wins total, as commentators said after Stork's win.

I wanna see either Flash vs. Stork or JB vs. Stork finals.

Stork with his 100th! Yay! =)

Well, the only thing I find in TLPD which can seemingly make up for these +2 wins is an OGN challenge seed selection mini-tourney in 2003, where he beat Yellow twice - this event seems unique enough that they wouldn't count it as OSL proper, so this is my guess.

Interesting, TLPD doesn't have Fantasy's Incruit prelim results (2-0 YoungA[KaL], 2-1 Saint, 2-0 Firebathero). [How could he have made the OSL without passing through prelims  ]
