Lol im saying true thing. Cause Best is new player and his experience is not enough at all.
He came to SC scene 1 year ago.
And Stork is pro till 2005. So Best will show everybody his skill next year.

I really wish Stork wins this OSL
Not because Im a KTF fan, but cmon
Isn't anyone else sick and tired of random people winning titles and just doing poorly after they get the title (cough forgg/flash)

btw, proxy gate at game 4 was said to be taught by (P)JangBi, Im seeing good stuff from Jangbi later in the future



Oh come the fuck on. Forgg and even more so flash are hardly random noobs or doing poorly. They both are recent champions and you can't expect people to win every year when the competition is this tight.

Actually Im a rabid Flash/ForGG fan lol, its just that I try to stay unbiased as much as possible
And for flash, well I just can't get over that GGplay game >.<, when I saw that game live I had nightmares of it for 2 days

edit: If Stork won his first OSL then got massive amounts of silvers he would've been called a Bonjwa. Oh well, gogo stork I need more SKT tears

Like i said before every game of Stork - there's no stopping him unless your name is Jaedong.

Terrans and tosses will all fall to perfected starcrafting.
3-0 final coming up again, go claim your gold storky.

Best only win by the macro game which is similar to flash. Stork outclassed him using creative play after the first game. Probably u will see stork at the top of his game for very long(like nada and july) and challenging in majors as his game does not require high APM but good brains. Having a lower average APM like 250~300 will enhance his career for long term. Being in any professional game, u want to be there for long for more income and fame.

He is definitely the unsung hero with only a few fans. Many other fans always cited stork as boring which is not true of course, with stork's special BOs and all-round guerilla tactics. I doubt he can be stopped this year!

true, but is stork champ material ?

not really, but fantasy isnt either imo... one of them will be forced to be the champ i guess ^^


Stork is going into the finals and he has a significant chance of winning.

By definition, that makes him champion material. Not a champion, but champion material for sure.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly

May the BeSt man win.

fantasy is going to steam roll stork.

fantasy's TvP is supposed to be godly. (esp with practice partners like BEST and BISU)

Stork lose PvT? Right... 12 straight wins according to TLPD, about to be more after this final + MSL.

Not to mention Stork didnt look too scared when he disposed of fantasy in the group stage.

People say he's uncreative because when you watch him play PvT, you're almost guaranteed to see either a proxy gateway, or 2-base carriers, or both.

He's boring because when you watch him, you know exactly whats going to happen. He's either going to plant a proxy, or go 2-base carriers, and roll over his opponent with superior unit control and macro. There's no suspense to watching a Stork PvT.

Both players were nervous as hell this series.
Best made mistakes he normally wouldn't make, stork made some clumsy errors here and there, but best's were far more punishable.

Stork just happened to choke less.

Stork choked vs Bisu that last game, "no goon range" is pretty obvious yo.
Stork got manraped by Flash straight up, he froze up completely, and flash played him out like a maphack. only time he "choked" was that gsi final last game on blue storm when he tripped over on attacks.

Jaedong brutally mauled him with both at 100% their abilities, and he is the better player overall imo.

I fear for Fantasy, I hope he has the nerves to bust his balls on this one, its looking like stork may have his best shot yet...

Yes, he uses that BO reaver+carrier to beat terrans. But what more can protoss do, its better than massing dragoons+zeal. That will be even more boring!

He knows he will almost win when carriers pop out because so far he is the only P that exploit the slight carrier range over goliath range so well. The goliaths couldn't hit his carriers and had to settle for the interceptors. The gols will walk in 1 file as his carriers retreat and this was exploited too. When the gols retreat and regroup, here comes the carriers hit and run again.

Templar? Arbiters?

Carriers aren't the ONLY way to finish PvT. Again, he's GOOD with his carriers, but that doesn't make it any less boring to see it every single game.

I agree that in most of his games carriers are used. But he is an all rounder whom knows how to apply many strategies well like the ht shuttle drop with arbiter. He can play straight macro or guerrilla tactics with creative BOs to win a game. For me, that is champion material. Its about time he takes an OSL. Take into account he was more consistent than bisu or saviour in the long term. Professionals would want a long career at the very top rather than a short one.

Cost him games so many times, and he screwed up his flanks those games, he just looks SO shaken when that happens.
