EPTBtw, I don't think Stork will choke this time. Not against Fantasy. Fantasy likes to do fancy creative things in order to break balance in his opponent game plan, but Stork is the most conservative, defensively solid protoss in the scene right now.

Stork deserves this title now. As much as I still hate him, beating BeSt in a PvP series is amazing. No clue how the games went but taking down an 80% player is beyond belief and truly shows himself as title worthy. | ||

But they all proved to be inconsistent in the long run while Stork is stronger than ever. He basically has this unless he actually chokes for the first time. Or unless Fantasy suddenly surprises big time. Well i have to agree to one point . Bisu wasn't better then stork they were both equal as the series was so close but Bisu prevailed and i think Stork never choked there. I agree that Jaedong was better then Stork in Ever OSL . But i think he choked vs Flash in Bachhus OSL . in GSI he was doing great even thought Flash won . in Bachhus OSL i think he choked because he didn't find a counter to the Flash build vs Carriers and played some crazy eco build and Flash rushed him in all games . | ||

ForGG has the teammate advantage he plays Jaedong nearly every damn day i wouldn't be surpised if he models his TvZ to counter Jaedong's play - some crazy macro play that Jaedong struggles to overcome . He could even be better at the Lecaf house then him and the maps favoured terran ... Fantasy on the other hand has nothing . He tryed to cheese him in the groups and failed . He has some impresive wins vs toss that are not even S - class but so did Best . Stork has far more experience then him . It wouldn't be logical if he losses unless his choke gap reaches the next level or him haveing a heart attack . Maps are going to be a factor they are somewhat new here . | ||

Game 2 was a build order loss: Stork's 4-gate goon strategy was really strong and took advantage of Best's predictable tech order. But rather than get mad, Best looked miserable after this game. Even during the games, every time Stork landed *another* crazy reaver scarab, Best looked like he wanted to curl up in a corner and cry. By the time Stork did the 2-gate build inside Best's main in game 4, I thought Best was absolutely cooked. It seemed like Best's mechanics broke down, and he picked a very poor time to engage Stork in the middle of Plasma. Well, I haven't thrown Best under the bus... yet. But, from my vantage point, Stork came through in the clutch and Best choked. Stork came pretty close to choking, he made a lot of stupid mistakes in games 1 and 3 and looked really nervous. In game 2 Stork denied Best's scout while getting a good look himself, it wasn't just a blind build order win. The early game harass combined with scout denial kinda forced his hand, too (I'm not sure if Best saw the lack of an exp, probably not) Game 4 was over long before they engaged, Stork had really hurt Best's economy (then again, Best's big army micro was a lot better than Stork in the previous games, so maybe he had a chance). | ||

The two best in the world. Stork is up right there with his PvT as well, can you say the same about Fantasy's TvP? Best or second best in the world right now? If this was anything other than a final, do you think Fantasy would take even 1 game of Stork? | ||

Should of known Best lost this from the beginning of the first set, when I saw Best exhibiting his trademark Preparation H squirming in his seat and fidgeting with his hair. Last time I saw this was when he choked vs July in the OSL. Must remember if Best needs Preparation H, he will choke. I wonder how this loss will affect his match vs Much in Pro League? DISCLAIMER: These comments are made in fun. | ||
