I watch the games he lost are due to being overaggressive but again he won most of his games harrassing first. He plays just like boxer with his proxies. | ||

Would've been nice if they had switched the quarters, so Stork would only have had to play next week. Kudos to Kal though, he looked better prepared  Yeah, this. If you think Stork blew it because he dropped one of those series ... well seriously you can only expect so much from the kid. | ||

Must be good to get up and win when everyone has written you off. And all the Stork love recently has been getting somewhat intense. Hopefully this will slightly douse the flames of fanboi passion. | ||

When I saw the Kal vs Best PvP game I knew Kal had a chance. He was sooooo close to win that game and played really great. | ||

And he will. lol, have you seen how many STORK FOR 3 CROWNS threads have been created recently? It's obv Stork fanboyin was inflated due to his recent results and the fact he was still on the 3 competitions. Haters had to come up to de-inflate so much fanboyism or something might have gone wrong! | ||

Knife edge pvps are where the moment one player fucks up he's done for. Game 1 we had stork not scouting the 3gate and losing an early goon => kal rides the adv to victory. Game 2 we had stork/kal coming out even after a close opening then Stork fucking up kals army lategame and winning it right there. Game 3 we had kals DT running the show then kal scouting stork's tech effectively shutting stork out. Game 5 was Stork getting hit too bad with one scarab and then kal's reaver getting a huge probe clump ending it for stork. The fact that stork lost the series is a tribute to the 50/50 nature of low level pvp (which is what he was playing today)Perhaps my wording was too harsh (nerves + choke = exaggeration), but the point is Stork definitely still does not have that extra killer instinct to seal the deal. I know Kal's a great player but didn't we all just get done talking about how Stork had anointed himself the best PvP ever? And he turns around and loses a PvP, BO5 no less, to a guy who has never been renowned for his PvP. And yeah, the first fight in PvP is a tossup, but that's what players with nerves of steel are all about - they seem to always win the tossups in big games. I will admit, Kal either got lucky or was very very smart/good with that Reaver in game 5 ... I thought for sure it was going to die but I guess the advantage of having the Shuttle pop out of nowhere from over the cliff was enough to keep it from getting sniped. One way or another, Kal stepped up and made all the big plays in the big game, and Stork really did nothing that was even above mediocre for a pro except maybe his dealing with the manner-Pylon (he still lost a Probe by the way). So again, maybe it's not a blatant choke like goon range, and Stork wasn't as out of it as he was in the Flash domination, but when push comes to shove, Stork doesn't step up. In my book (you may disagree), not stepping up when you're a superior player is choking, or at least nerves. Like Hot_Bid said, Stork's just another Karl Malone. Kal played really well, im not trying to take anything away from his victory. But Stork just was playing averagely and as good as Kal was. | ||

His PvP is better than PvP of others. His PvT is brilliant and far better than TvP of Nada and undoubtedly better than TvP of Firebathero. Kal will become a champion this season! | ||

Nope, he'll still get rocked somewhere along the line. | ||
