Stork showed balls, creativity and amazing game sense this series, unlike many of the series where he had lost in the past by using mostly predictable strategies and strong mechanics.
Fantasy will not be able to come up with something crazy vs stork and make it work, it is TvP after all.

Time to unite the triple crown.

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.

best lost and he had 15 straight wins before this, your point?

Well Best was on a 15 game win streak against protoss entering today according to TLPD, but that didnt matter to stork.

Im really happy for Stork for beating Best in a best of 5, but its not over for him yet. Fantasy has been looking really really good coming into the final. Stork is definitely a heavy favorite, but its the OSL, anything can happen.

You should have made someone else hold that sign . Boxer predicted Savior Sea and Stork to be the next Bonjwas . So far only Savior agreed with TheEmperor's expectation .

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.


Again, I'm not saying he isn't good or isn't a champion. I'm saying he's boring to watch because he doesn't play really different builds in that matchup. Saying he's an all-rounder is meaningless if he's not willing to play that many different builds against other S-class players. How does saying "oh he went 2-base carriers, but he COULD have gone arbiters" change the fact that he's doing the same damn thing again?

Interesting players to watch come out of taking risks. Take Firebathero for example. He's very clearly not the best Terran in the world, but he's interesting to WATCH because he's willing to take risks like throwing himself into an all-Protoss group in MSL (well, that and his crotch dancing ).

He did not predict them to be bonjwa, he was asked to pick a player from each race that he saw with the most potential.

Yeah, but Jaedong's ZvT at the time was questionable, with only a series win over Hwasin in recent times. However, Stork is on a 14 win PvT.


And Best was on a 16 win streak PvP and look what happened.

PvT is more stable than PvP, many of the protosses best beat (not all of them) had really bad PvP. Not Stork.

Would you say Best has boring by your definition of boring PvT if he won the series? Just curious. (The answer is yes).

This coming from a "his minerals never go below 500(?)" fan? Macro. That's all Best has...

Stork has consistently been the PvT king for the past two years. He can, and has done everything in PvT that a Protoss can do, all you have to do is look back far enough. Now it's not his fault he's found a good, winning strategy and he's using it until people find a counter. Bisu, would then be super-boring because for months all he'd do is FE and sair-dt/reaver.

Arbiters? Who are you to judge a progamer's decisions? Stork's carriers have raped many many Terrans. Why would I, or anyone, give up my best weapon? Can your buddy Best, or any other Protoss have such aggressive and deadly carrier harass? Nope. Would they use carriers more if they did? Of course, because purposely limiting yourself is stupid.

Looks like the Best bandwagoners have jumped over to Fantasy's camp. So now an unaccomplished Terran is the favorite against the last 2 years' PvT master. What next? Tossgirl and Pokju become favored against Jaedong? lol...

Uh no, most of us were for Fantasy. The best fanboys just want revenge on stork and/or are stk1 fans. Fantasy isn't the favorite, not by a long shot, but underdogs need supporters!

And you have to remember that although stork went into a semi-slump after Flash beat him, his PvT after Flash owned him has been 17-3.
