Stork better not get an SKT1 all kill. That would be terrible.

He got silver in the qualifiers (vs Hwasin IIRC). The Grand Final doesn't mean as much for the Koreans as the qualification itself

On a sidenote: I feel after this somewhat unexpected (by the masses at least) 3-1 victory, I think we can seriously hope for an epic PvT performance in the finals, Stork for 3-0 OSL final win!

Of course Stork would win. Why cheer for the super boring BeSt just because he had (haha!) a good PvP streak...

I think there are two realistic scenarios. Either Stork plays PvT like he usually does, and then I bet 3-0 or maaaaybe 3-1 to Stork against Fantasy. Or he chokes, and Fantasy wins 3-0 or 3-1. But I doubt we will see a close, well-played final, though everything can happen.

i would say stork is simply unstoppable that fantasy also would not get to stop him this time... unless flash steps up once again to be out of his slump.

@Plexa: Once again, nice writeup summary but awful predictions (hello last osl final) - we expect your apologies now!

1) Fuck you
2) Game 2 was an unexpected 4gate all-in build (who saw that coming?)
3) Game 1 predicted right
4) Game 4 predicted right

Seriously who the fuck do you think you are? I offer my opinion on the matchup with the possibility of being completely fucking wrong and you sit behind your little monitor not making a claim in the world and then pounce on me for fucking up? Sports predictors get things wrong all the time - its a fact of life - so seriously...

EDIT: It's not like im a best fanboy either.. i like best sure, but i also really like stork; so much so that my pvp is modeled off him


While I don't agree with mrhilton, it would be nice if you can comment on why your prediction was so off. Was it a simple matter of Best simply imploding? Not enough credit to Stork's ability to change things up?

Best's supposed invincible PvP didn't even put up as much of a fight as Bisu did.
The gap between these two gamers is so small, even the most infinitesimal advantage can lead to victory. Either one player is going to dominate or the other is going to dominate - depending on the day and the conditions. Stork caught best off guard in game 2 and took the initiative to take more blows at best's frame of mind; you just can't predict these kinds of things. Especially that best completely collapsed in on himself (like he did against july btw). That's pretty much the only reason i can give.

PvP is just that if you are the better player you will win no matter what build is played. BeSt initially was the better player but Stork won the psychological battle and won the next three straight (effectively 3-'ing best)


Thanks for the comment.

I've only watched starcraft for less than a year, and mostly for entertainment, so I'm really not knowledgeable on the progaming scene beyond the basics. But it seemed like Best's PvP was talked about ad nauseum coming in, and considered the overwhelming favorite. So I was kind of going WTF when Stork pretty much rolled him from game 2 on.

That said, as a Stork fan, I must say it was a pleasant surprise.

Best better not become CJ's Iris.

Fantasy better kill Stork. Straight up murder, 3-0 rape.

A 16-0 PvP streak is unprecedented in modern BW but yea.. Stork has just been the best pvp (more or less) for about 2~ years now lol

Everyone has been saying that Stork's best MU is PvT, and I've always insisted it's his PvP. I really hope he wins this OSL, I don't want to have to write a news about the police finding him hanging from his bedroom closet
