Welcome back!


Are we speaking of the same Sharp who advanced to KSL 2 finals after beating Rain?


Eh, I said recent months. Recent months is not 2018 by this point and Stork had a brilliant run this year in KSL and his game against Calm (and now Sharp) shows the same kind of play he showed then.


Stork is playing well and can surely beat Sharp but saying he is the favourite here seems a little too much to me.


I just don't feel like Sharp is very strong in TvP. He is solid by now but Stork is just incredible in PvT when he is on point and he's in a great shape recently. Not comparable to his old self but yeah, in the current era, right at this moment, I would put him ahead of Sharp in a head-to-head contest. Note that I didn't say Stork is the better player overall atm. Just head-to-head.


Sharp's TvP was literally the best except for Flash's in the last eight months(considering tournament results), he appeared weaker in TvZ. Maybe that changed with KSL 3, I would still be reluctant to consider Stork the favourite in a series.


Sharp's TvP is not good, the reasons he's considered the second best after Flash is because all other Terrans are terrible at TvP as well. I wouldn't put Sharp favoured against any of the top Protoss players today.

Well, that's fine. It's not like I'm an expert or anything, it's just my personal feel after having observed both of them in recent months. Also being the second best at TvP in this era is not an indication of being good (not even sure if this is true now that Last is not terrible at TvP anymore). Flash is literally the only genuenly good terran in this match up atm.

That's a fascinating theory, actual results in Starleagues seem to indicate otherwise; also, Sharp is expected to smash at least Mini.

I think he could have won, if he recognized the timing attack and skipped the queens

Happy for Sharp, that harass style is becoming my favorite. Also that last game lol, Hyuk hyukin himself, some things guess never change. If he was careful with mines maybe he could win, he throw away so many lings and hydras for mines.

One of Flash's games, he kept refusing to build towers at roughly 9 oclock. People later observed that probably cost him the game-- the continued harass there.

It's easy in retrospect to say Hyuk should have just plopped a 2nd sunken because of the harass. Clearly these guys have it ingrained not to waste resources to such extent that continued harass happens sometimes. It is entertaining to have a master harasser like Sharp do such things.

Hyuk didn't even need a second sunken, probably 2-3 hydras in the ramp would have made it hell for Sharp to harrass (he was idling hydras in his rally point anyways).

I don't understand the queen switch, it was sooo slow and he already head +2 cap for mutas for meatshields plus a bunch of hydras (+1/0 probably?), he needed to play textbook ZvMech and prepare a massive flank against Sharp's last attempt.

Also his full muta attack on Sharp was wild gamble when we he was controlling the map and was spawning hydralisks. He basically fought with 2/3 his power against a full defensive terran setup.

Also so painful to see such a late overlord speed =/

Sharp did gain a bunch of tiny edges over and over. I was particularly impressed as how he stayed focused and mined his entrance against the ling follow up after being attack by like 24 mutas.

Sharp is 10-13 v P in ASL and got thoroughly beaten by a decrepit Stork.

In the last seven/eight months Sharp had very good results against the best Protoss in both ASL and KSL, his all time record in ASL isn't really that relevant.

Decrepit? How? That's the same Stork who destroyed the current ASL champion 3:0 fairly recently.

Mini, for his part, doesn't have the best PvT. He got demolished 3:0 by Sharp in the CMSL, IIRC.

Sharp has a strong TvP, it’s his TvZ that really has problems. It’s just there’s a lot of strong P’s in this time that it’s hard to necessarily be favored because they all have monster PvT’s.

The other weird thing about Sharp is that he’s so good at certain things but something about his intuition or game sense especially vs. Z seems really off. His vulture play in both TvZ and TvP is amazing, and is always active with them.

Sharp's still IMO definitely the #3 Terran after flash and last, but yeah his game has some problems. He has had a lot of trouble in tournaments vs 2-hatch muta (see him struggling vs modesty last KSL) and his harass-based TvP has been shakier in the last 6 months (partly due to maps though I think). Glad he advanced to the Ro16 though.

Why is stork so good now? it doesn't make any sense but it's really cool to see that last KSL wasn't a fluke. Gives me hope that maybe it's not actually time to give up hope on JD coming back to form at some point too.

Hyuk totally blew a huge lead with that all-in attack on Sharp, I can't believe he committed to it. He played well vs calm though.

Calm seemed prime to take stork down with a zergling or hydra all-in or something after beating the zealot rush... but then just walled off the map and was late getting a hydra den and forgot to spread his lings out to scout for shuttles and just played so bad. Seemed like he had a gameplan for something specific before the match started and decided to not change the plan when a good opportunity presented itself. His second game was better but as said by someone else forgetting to morph that spore in his main totally cost him the game.
