In all honestly, Stork's PvZ is massively underrated these days. The only reason that his win percentage is still kind of low, is because he's played so many games. That said, jaedong screwed up horribly with that one attack, and if he didn't, he should have easily taken the game.

Wouldn't it be ironic if JD beat Bisu only to lose to Stork?

You know Bisu would've beaten Jaedong if it were a bo3 right? It's not like stork is a bad player, I fail to see how it would be ironic. Surprising, maybe, but not ironic at all.

like was said earlier, i felt that was more jaedong playing crap early game (running into storm/rvr) that stork playing well. lets face it, his late gome was freaking horrid, it shoulda been over AGES before it was.

Well seriously, even if Stork had wanted to finish it earlier, JD didnt let him. He kept on sniping those observers and threatening the added bases. being more offensive could have resulted in losing a crucial mining base and losing his attack squad.

it's like jd always needs to lose the first game to remind himself that he actually has to think before sending his army next time. Props to stork though.

Then again, his defense was what kept the game going for so long. ~~

God why all the hate on Stork's PvZ. His style is very ugly and drags alot but gets the job done, that is why he was 70% winrate in 2008, too bad nobody noticed because he didnt have Zergs to play in starleagues. He is also 60+% since his games vs jaedong in ever. Stork's style is very ugly and lacks bisu's elegance but it wins games and that is what matters.

But to be serious, I think JD played that out the wrong way. Stork's major weakness in PvZ is his spotty gamesense, and bad adaptation early game. Whereas JD have such impeccable unit control. He should use more aggressive builds against Stork, so that once they reach mid game he is so far ahead that he is sure to win. Because Stork's midgame play is not worse than anyone elses, and his macro is very strong as always.

Sounds like Stork´s strategy was to be patient until Jaedong hands him over the map in a suicidal attack.

Stork doesn't get enough credit most of the time -.-
He beat Jaedong at WCG as well.

I think it's funny how many people are saying Jaedong played horribly. After Stork had him on the ropes, it was Jaedong's excellent response that kept Stork from putting the nail in the coffin. Did they play flawlessly? No. But saying Jaedong's shitty play gave Stork the win is horse crap.
