Stork was the kind of player who could pull off important wins even when he was not on top of his practice regime. But from reading these and previous comments it seems like he was really just not there at all today. Interesting enough, that yesterday evening he held against the same 3 gate robo push from Tyson. Seems like he was really off today. Hope to see him back in ASL4 though, even if he focuses on streaming. I'm sure his Korean fans also want to see him do well in tourneys. | ||

In the later stages of the tournament he has a disadvantage for sure. | ||

Stork had a pretty good PvZ but that was because he was a monster in each match up. I mean he had an even record with JD. I would also argue that Kal and Movie had decent PvZ if you compare it to their general level of play as well as to other protoss players. Wooki also showed some signs that he might get the hang of PvZ shortly before the KeSPA era was over. I'm talking about the era after the revolution of course. In the end, only Bisu really seemed to have the upper hand in the PvZ match up though. | ||

It is kinda fun but so weird and unbalanced. Stork just looked bad. I don't know how much of it was bad luck and build order losses but man, as a Stork fan, that was not fun to watch. ![]() Cool to see Pusan do reasonably well though. ggeamo did well and guemchi is solid. But meh. ![]() | ||

I don't know if he was just overconfident in his late-game skills or what but seemed to me that he played way too passively and let opponent cut corners to economically overcome him. | ||

Anyways, glad to see ggaemo pulling through. It's obvious that he put a lot of work into this. Especially they doing great in ASL3: Shuttle Protoss 1 0 Zerg PURPOSE Shuttle Protoss 0 1 Zerg Soulkey EffOrt Zerg 1 0 Protoss Snow Shine Zerg 1 0 Protoss free Shine Zerg 1 0 Protoss Snow hero Zerg 1 0 Protoss Lazy hero Zerg 1 0 Protoss Rain GuemChi Protoss 0 1 Zerg ggaemo ggaemo Zerg 1 0 Protoss Pusan So, it's basically 1-9, with single win of Shuttle versus some random lucky amateur. i mean let's be real here, those protoss are definitely not good at PvZ. Free, Snow, Rain all more known for their PvT, Lazy, Purpose, Shuttle, Pusan all kind of just average, sub-par Protoss. And they're up against EffOrt, Soulkey, hero who are amazing ZvPers. Shine and ggaemo are definitely more wildcard Zergs but Protoss have not really been respecting them as of late. Let's be real here, the only good PvZer is Bisu, who lost two latest finals to Effort and Hero, respectively. And free, Rain, Shuttle are top 5 protosses (or around), just like Hero, Soulkey and EffOrt. Yes but just because youre a "top 5 protoss" doesnt mean your matchup against zerg is that much better. Plus the protoss race right now doesnt have many good players and their PvZs all suck. Like great, you can be a damn good PvP and PvT, and as long as your dodge your shitty PvZ matchup you'll be in the top 5. Being top 5 might not be entirely exclusive from a bad PvZ, but it doesnt mean you'll have a good PvZ. as mentioned in the stat drop above by cerb, 54% is nothing to be proud of compared to the top 5 zergs who all have well over 60% ZvP. | ||

![]() People who want some comparison with older toss legends pre-337 here: Do note that these guys played in an obviously tougher PvZ age. The Three Kings + ZeuS all started playing in an era where zergs swarmed from the qualifiers up from what I've read; they needed to be great PvZers almost by necessity. Nal_rA = 56 wins - 47 losses (54.37%) PuSan = 30 wins - 31 losses (49.18%) Kingdom = 41 wins - 44 losses (48.24%) Reach = 73 wins - 82 losses (47.10%) Anytime = 23 wins - 25 losses (47.92%) ZeuS = 46 wins - 56 losses (45.10%) Garimto and IntoTheRain are too old school for stats. ^_^ edit - nvm, got curious lol Rage = 26 wins - 22 losses (54.17%) DaeZang = 12 wins - 12 losses (50.00%) RainbOw = 43 wins - 45 losses (48.86%) edit 2 - raw stats alone won't tell the full story. | ||

That was kind of a dark era for PvZ, true, but... protoss players really didn't get PvZ at that time either. Still loved the shit out of Reach's PvZ when it worked, just hit that timing, rally all your gates and micro/macro your heart out. But, they were not considered good PvZ players (not that anyone else aside from Nal_rA and maybe Kingdom were considered good PvZ:ers either). | ||

But, they were not considered good PvZ players (not that anyone else aside from Nal_rA and maybe Kingdom were considered good PvZ:ers either). Anytime was really good too. The problem with those stats is that they compare players who peaked and declined but kept playing for years to players who avoided that fate because the professional scene was brutally terminated or simply because they quit. If you go through the end of '08, Anytime won 56% of his PvZs; from that point on he won 38%. Obviously you can do this exercise with many players to cherry-pick a slice of games where they look good, but overall I think it's more representative to look at a player in his prime than to reduce his career to a percentage. Peak ELO is probably the best way to do this, and Anytime comes in 7th for PvZ. (The only old-timer ahead of him is indeed rA, who I would agree was pretty much the best until Bisu.) e: I just noticed that c3rberUs was cutting the stats off before the whole Bisu thing, which pretty much invalidates my entire point. Oh well. (I wish there were a "historical ELO" feature in TLPD...) | ||

I honestly just dislike him as a player. Even more now than before. He is out for a reason. He looked bad imo.. | ||

Protoss requires soo much technical micro in this matchup that it gets crazy really fast during the macro game. Something tells me that by the end of this tourney we may begin seeing the foundation of new strats from the likes of Bisu and company. We already know terran are in good shape, but given that soo many toss made it to the Ro24, and only 4 made it out so far... Thats saying alot yo. | ||

Stork has great PvT and decent PvP in general but sucks in PvZ. It's also the main reason he made Ro8 last time. Hopefully he starts to play seriously and advance further next time! | ||

That dark templar against Pusan killed so many units too. I figured that he'll at least do well against Pusan so the loss there was surprising.

He didn't suck back in the day though. | ||
