no he doesn't. Savior still has the best ZvP on the pro scene by miles.

Game 4 was pretty epic :O but Jaedong steam rolled him I thought games 2, 3

Umm... Savior ROLLS over any Toss not named Bisu, considering people get /worried/ about Jaedong vs Stork, I'm not sure how people can keep making comparisons between the two. Yeah Jaedong is hot for Royal Roading, but seriously ...

I predict Sea.Jy. I also think he's the real Savior's protegee, not Kwanro. The latter is too unstable.
On the muta/scourge vs sair thing. It's not even in the sair number but in cannon number.
3 cannons are usually enough to fend off any kind of pura muta with splash support (sair/archon/storm).
Both scenarios:
Muta/scourge engage corsair. Suppose zerg's got good micro, then he engages in a way that sair AI targets mutas. It's very hard to target scourge since muta is attacking and scouge is not, so attack priorities are totally different. Sairs start to run.
After that engagement, sairs are flying around and mutas are (abit wounded) fighting with the cannons.
Scenario 1:
Wounded mutas manage to deal with the cannons, sairs die. Toss is basically dead.
Scenario 2:
Wounded mutas can't deal with the cannons, fly away, scourge dies to cannons. Zerg lost unbelievable amounts of gas while toss lost a neglible amount of minerals and NO gas at all.
And cannons do indeed follow a non-linear attack strength pattern vs muta just due to the fact that mutas have trouble switching targets. They are also much cheaper. 3,4,5 cannons pose a huge difference. What is also important is that Stork screwed up the initial handling of the attack, allowing mutas to freely kill the first cannon. It was misplaced anyway, imo, seeing spire, Stork should've added a link cannon from this one to his nexus. Subtle things decide PvZ and Stork doesn't know them apparently.
When sairs are 5+, with proper grouping they are immune to scourge coming from one direction. But not to muta/scourge, once again, because of the AI. The true critical mass comes at around 10-12, when they are able to kill muta fast enough to be able to switch to scourge before the little buggers reach them. The bad thing for the zerg is that maintaining muta/scourge at higher numbers is a real bitch (and it's very difficult to clone scourge) and it costs SO much gas that it's 100% do or die. Jaedong's timing and execution was perfect, I really want him to meet Bisu.
I mean, he was not really that expected to win those series (but, as always, the select few including me just knew better), but look at him now - he's the unrivaled master of both ZvZ and ZvT and he just proved that he can have a stellar ZvP as well. Basically, killing Bisu is the only thing he needs to do at this moment to claim his standing as the official powerouse of progaming.
Stork, on the other hand, doesn't qualify for that. He hasn't shown good PvZ exactly anywhere while Bisu had killed a lot of terrans lately. What worries me about Stork's play is not his control and execution, he was dominated, he didn't really fail at executing his gameplan, he didn't have a winning gameplan at the first place. Imo.

Well, this will hopefully put the whole "Stork is so much better than Bisu" nonsense to rest.

How does Stork losing PvZ...you know what fuck it.
|
Not losing PvZ, but his sheer inability to win a Starleague.

Jaedong was the underdog here. especially considering jaedong has lost a BO5 vs rock not too long ago but come on! Rock is the Future of Protoss!

I think people are starting to forget how unstoppable and "HOLY SHIT MAPHAX" savior used to be in 2006. GO WATCH THE VODS

LOYAL LOADULU!!
Game 1 was bleh, game 2 WTF? game 3 That is many hydra yes? game 4 Is this Savior playing?
Im sorry, but Stork looked absolutely helpless the games he lost, and the one he won was Jaedong losing not Stork winning. The "harass" failed miserably. Its strange that the gap between Storks PvP/PvT and his PvZ can be so big. I think Jaedong showed very nice play the last two games, and I loved his burrows all over in game 3.
Pretty bad final games overall, onesided as hell, but Jaedong surely is a deserving champion, and also an incredible good player.
LOYAL LOADULU!
