No elite Protoss has ever managed to have their Cannon line broken or been contained at their natural with the regularity that Stork has. Just watch when Stork played Kwanro 4 games in a row (3 in MSL, 1 in PL) and Kwanro kills Stork's natural Cannons in ALL FOUR GAMES! Of course Stork still won two of them ... dude has a knack for making comical comebacks against bad late game Zergs. Stork seems to have an extreme confidence in his probe micro, which is probably why he skimps on cannons so frequently. He also seems to prefer a late management game above any kind of mid game plays. | ||

Probably the one where Luxury destroyed Best's geyers on Katrina and Best shuttled out a control group of zealots to win the game... eventually winning the series. | ||

Modesty just wasted all his gas on guardians instead of ultralisks, and then lost like 6 lurkers to 1 dt, and stork took the small opening Modesty showed and just blew him apart. Stork did exactly what he needed to do, keep the main army advantage, prevent island expansions, aerial dominance when Z goes hive tech, keep ahead in upgrades and continue to rebuild his expansion at 5. Said all ! | ||

Ok, ok. Stork deserves a TON of credit for playing beautifully after such a horrible opening. I love the guy and consider him one of the top 3 Protoss players of all time. He's always been a resilient PvZ player (backhanded compliment there) and I just find it funny that he manages to get into bad situations in PvZ with such regularity. But yes, he played great after the opening, and his lategame PvZ has always been very good. It has admittedly been overshadowed by his comical early game PvZ. | ||

Stork obviously needed to play good to win from that position, but it wasn't really mind-boggling the way he payed. Obviously the game was, but that was only because Modesty is really bad for some reason. Or inconsistent. I don't think people would care so much if Modesty still played competently and Stork just suddenly was everywhere, multitasking like crazy. | ||

Stork was never really behind in any point in the game. But I'm not complaining, this false sense of "comebacks" in Stork's games just makes it more epic!
