Kal used 5 different builds in 5 games. Stork died.
Also, Stork's probes have scout hax -_- They always catch the most important part of a game super early or they catch nothing at all... and the guy ends up going completely standard.

Half the people joining the bandwagon now will abandon it when stork loses. He's one of the best, but I just don't think he can win a starleague. Yes, please.. what is this sudden influx of stork fans? I'll be cheering for fantasy. | ||

How is that vindication? Kal helped Stork beat Best, perhaps for his own benefit but he did it nonetheless. It's vindication if you think Best is sitting at home sucking his thumb and cheering that the guy who helped Stork beat him has now beat Stork and has a chance at an MSL while Best is not even in a starleague anymore, unless you count GOM TV Classic 2. And Kal beating Stork doesn't dispute that Stork >>>> Best, not even in the slightest. It vindicates the argument that Stork hasn't taken Best's place as the preeminent Protoss, when Kal beats him days after his OSL victory. What does that say when your ability to do well rests so heavily on practicing for a certain match up, that you have trouble versus a(47.50%) Protoss without extra practice? So, what has Best done besides NOT win important series in starleagues recently? Beating up on mostly second tier Protoss players in PvP, cheesing boxer, and losing to a lot of Zergs- Best was hardly the undisputed Protoss king. Maybe he was PvP king for a while, but Stork beat him convincingly in a series, so that leaves Best with little to call him the preeminent protoss. I'm not even a Stork fan, even though I definitely prefer him over the feminine protoss duo of SKT, so I have no reason to exaggerate anything. And the truth is, he has had a lot of matches to play, even since the OSL semifinals where he had to play Forgg with what was probably not much practice and still beat that TvP monster, and then played a Zerg in the GOM tv match. And he's probably putting a lot of mental focus on his OSL final, and rightfully so. This close loss to Kal does not put Best above Stork. lololololololol wtf. i agree with him though. im not a stork fan. yes, its nice to see some dominance in him and come the fuck on, its a mirror game, its 50% win/loss, stork couldve had a bad day. i think hes mainly practicing more for pvt(vs fantasy) than pvz or pvp, given the fact that yes, he bested best. best > kal > stork, but it could have been best > stork > kal or whatever, look, its mirror, it doesnt put best as king of protoss. i think stork claims it, atm anyway. HOWEVER, if he LOSES to fantasy, then i would eat my own words and say yeah, best > stork because im pretty certain that best would easily beat fantasy. but then again i have faith in stork this time, the big names are out of his way: forgg, jd, flash, best... stork should beat fantasy easily but if he chokes. sigh. he wont have another easy chance at this kind of stardom again and fantasy will walk the epic road. well i watched two of three games of this series, and two of them had nothing to do with the fact it was mirror mu. stork just didn't play as good as kal. (the third one was kal's fe which stork countered well.) exactly to the "stork just didnt play well." and it doesnt mean that best is above stork. | ||

Stork just practices a lot so he knows where cheesy stuff is likely to be: the best example is his OSL ro16 match vs. Fantasy, where he put his pylon down where Fantasy's proxy barracks landed. Also, Best didn't use the same 4 build orders... He used a proxy game 1 remember? | ||

His PvP has always been solid, although not as known as stork's or best's. The man has OSL finals match coming up in a couple days. come on now. Agreed. I know that theres a lot of Stork haters out there but losing 2-3 to Kal is acceptable since staying in both the MSL and OSL up to this point is pretty damn good nonetheless. | ||
