Its simple , people pissing to much at stork , but when it turns in to a macro game i expect Stork to kill almost eny opponent . Bisu doesn't have the macro of Stork he is more of a multitasking harrasing type and you can't out multitask Jaedong . Also Jaedong doesn't have the macro of July/by.hero ( he does have good macro thought ). He doesn't even have their large army control . When it comes to controling 2 - 3 groups of units Jaedong micros pretty well but when you go in to the big fights Jaedong just attack moves just like all zerg . Thats why i respect July's ZvP much more then enyones - More macro , controling at least 4 groups of units at once like its 1 control group which kills down the protoss ball and you can clean it up later with superiour macro .

If things are going this way by.hero has a pretty good chance at royal roading this OSL , his biggest threads are Jaedong and Luxury the way i see it , presuming he can take out Hwasin that is ...

Its better to control 4 - 5 groups of units and do a good damage to the protoss ball , then attack moving all your shit in to them and losing all your army ... Attack moving is only good when you know you can outmacro him .

how can ppl not see how amazing Stork's pvz style is??
He doesn't have Bisu's godly game sense and timing, he doesn't have that feeling where everything in the game just snaps into place and rapes the opponent.

But, he makes up for that with hard hard practice, solid defense, excellent mechanics, and an overall amazingly solid game. This guy is the epitomy of work-starcraft. He makes up for his total lack of understanding for pvz with hard work and with that he managed to take down the best zvp'ers in the game, and that for one amazes me.

You know, for all the Protoss whining about Tears of the Moon imba, Protoss are 9-1 against Zerg on Return of the King this OSL.

I'm not sure you can definitively say that he works harder than any other progamer. Just because he has "low" apm and great results doesn't necessarily mean that he practices more, more so that it favors his style. I am sure he could play at 300+ if he really wanted to, but some people prefer to play at lower apm, and focus on micro.

9-1 this OSL? I guess that means Protoss really sucked it up PvZ on RotK last season, considering those 9 wins are all of the PvZ victories on the map (meaning, they lost every PvZ last season on RotK).

To be fair, the 5 P's in those games were SangHo, Pure, Rock, BestGod, and Kal (who lost to Effort for what it's worth.)

Stork showing once again that he can throw away game after game against nobodies in the PL only to show his true skills in starleagues. The man is so good when he actually bothers to practice.

And I agree that Stork's macro and army control is incredible. He loses so many PvZs early. But if the game stays even when he breaks out of his base, Stork literally becomes ten times harder to beat.

how can people not say jaedong had a good lead? He had two more gas expansions and had them for a while, he just killed almost all corsairs with scourge, he was even in supply and he had hive tech.

Then he just lost alot of units while doing zero damage and one of his expansion hatcheries = gg

i don't think jaedong had a good lead. i think they were about even, until jaedong had that horrible battle and lost the center+let stork take his fourth. it's not like stork lost his shuttle/reaver, or a lot of corsairs, so i don't know why you are saying jaedong had a big lead. stork had a good sair count for a long time, especially during when they mattered the most. stork's gameplan was designed to move out with that large army of templar/goon/zealot/reaver, so you can't really say either one had a lead unless 1)stork harassed really well 2)jaedong killed all of corsairs or shuttle/reaver. neither of those happened.
