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

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 ). | ||

Just curious. (The answer is yes). | ||

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... | ||

Fantasy isn't the favorite, not by a long shot, but underdogs need supporters! | ||
