I can't be the only one who sees Mind winning as a not too far-fetched possibility. Sure, its a stretch for him, but so was taking out iloveoov, savior and bisu in his MSL run.
Force staff is the best item in the game.

Personally, I think Midas is a strong contender...I see Flash getting upset again like in the last OSL...whether it be in the semis or the finals doesn't matter.

Stork's a solid overall player, but always seems to stumble against the players at the top of their form at the time. BUT...he does show moments of absolute top-class brilliance. If he can keep that up, then he most certainly has a chance.

Stork is the best PvTer in the world, on a balanced map.

Granted Best IS highly impressive when it comes to both PvT and especially PvP.

Many forget that Stork is pretty damn beastly PvP as well though, which is why a semifinal of the two would be a great fight, on pretty even basis.

I too believe that this is Storks OSL to lose though, his play shines while doing nothing but playing ultra-solid starcraft with little to no mistakes.

What is the Legend of the Fall?
The Legend of the Fall is a beleive that a Protoss player will win the OSL in the Fall. This Legend started in SKY 2001 where Garimto defeated Boxer in the fall, stopping Boxer from winning three back to back OSLs. This curse was perpetuated the following fall in SKY 2002 where Reach defeated Boxer once again in the Fall.

(P)Stork needs (T)Midas to beat (P)BeSt, because I really think (P)BeSt > (P)Stork, how can you bet against an 84% winning pct in PvP?

According to TLPD, stork and best are currently 2:2 right now, with Best winning their last game. imo it could pretty much go either way between them.

Have you ever watched Starcraft?

Best's PvZ and PvT are both not very strong (something Best fanboys seem to overlook). Best's saving grace lies in PvP where he is 2-2 against Stork.

Stork has a better PvZ (or roughly equal), one of the best PvT, and splits games versus the best PvP player in the world. Stork is simply much more well rounded.

I'll put it in a more easy to digest way for (P)BeSt fans:

Best has lost only 5 televised PvP matches in his entire career.
2 of those losses come from (P)Stork.
2 out of 5 means; 40% of the time (P)BeSt lost a PvP, it was when he was up against (P)Stork.
(P)Stork is the only Protoss player to ever beat (P)BeSt, Twice.
(P)Stork and (P)BeSt currently have a record of 2:2 with (P)BeSt winning their last encounter.


So what makes you think BeSt is DEFINITELY going to beat Stork?

three of those games were in february. if you don't understand the difference between best's PvP now and best's PvP then, you're fuckin' stupid

Best is a clear favourite over Stork in PvP. The other side of that is that no one should believe that Best is the better PvT player, because he sure as fuck is not. Stork's got that label wrapped up right now.

If he wins his third silver, does he get a silver mouse?

Would be nice if they had that. ^^
