best has a flawless record vs p, yes! but remember the winning streak of flash last osl? with a list like that, it is pure destiny to lose upcoming matches...! it is 2:2 between these two, thats all what counts! best even missed msl! the stork hater power rank/ kespa rank is listing him above best for a good reason! stork won one his last proleague games both regular game and final ace! something which even didn't happen last season if I remeber clearly. best on the other hand choked from time to time in important matches... best played only 3 protosses the last three months (!). yes he won but the rock, m18m (still b samsung) and maybe jangbi arent that impressive. stork on the other hand took out bisu (not just once or twice, backwhore, much) this is not the final, we are on stork terrain! remember last osl final where everyone thought (including tl) for best to take it? he choked hard big time 0-3 with unspeakable errors making it one of the worst finals in osl ever! just some facts! honestly I see stork in the finals, making it a very interesting game! | ||

BeSt's strengths - macro, mechanics - are also Stork's strength (just not as ridiculously strong). So BeSt won't be able to easily overpower Stork like he does against other toss. This brings me to the next point... The key to the match I think will be early game, where BeSt is weakest. Stork has great preparation and timing, and if he can secure an opening advantage, then his mechanics is more than good enough to ride that advantage to victory. On the other hand, if BeSt gets into the mid-game without any disadvantage, then I think the game will favor him in the long run. BeSt needs to mix it up with his build order to give himself the best chance to win. | ||

Crowd didn't seem particular in it either... seems like they expected GGPlay to have a walk in the park and then realized he was getting thrashed. Have to hand it to Fantasy though, he played well. It's interesting to see that one effect of Plasma has been to popularize valkyries and mech as a combination a bit. | ||

He has a lot of experience fighting mech builds, he knows the right counters and yet he still lost. | ||
