First, read again : I didn't say Stork qualifying was an upset, I said it was bad news.
And yes, I know who Stork is and him qualifying is bad news. Stork is consistency personified (I picked him in my fantasy MSL team for that reason). But his last he displayed cute, creative play was long, long ago. I don't mean he is bad, because he isn't. It is just that his games are not inspiring, and I do not like that. He keeps winning until the finals. Props to him.
But I prefer players like Kal or Much, who lose earlier but make daring BOs (one base carrier vs Bisu was awesome) and enjoyable games. I just think Stork is boring.
Obviously, as a player, one may prefer to win in an ugly fashion rather than lose with style. As a spectator, I just want a great show.
Only my opinion though.

bisu made 3 archons, which was weird. he should make max 2. and then he had a couple of bad storms. he made mass cannon at his third, AND fought for the mid, when he didnt need to do both. so he could have had more storms, done better storms, and been in a better position (don't fight for mid). then once his 3 base econ gets rolling with many gates, fight for mid.

massing corsair is very risky now because zerg has gotten good at efficiently fending off the harrass while macroing up. spending money on ground units (speed zeals + something else) absolutely forces zerg to stop heavy investment in econ and it forces midgame play, where zerg is weak (they like their hive).
