Wonderful writeup. (by the way, the only mistake I saw was that Fantasy's builds from games 1 and 2 didn't kill Stork's shuttles, but sent them into the red health. Which has a similar effect, since shuttles with red health can't harass effectively anymore. But a non-trivial difference.)

Before Fantasy broke through during this OSL, I really thought he had a mental aversion to winning. The loss to Jaedong was particularly heartbreaking.

But in some ways, I think Fantasy feels a bit untested. Yes, he won 3-0, but I would argue that all 3 games his builds gained him an overwhelming advantage. Particularly in game 3, he out-prepared Stork, taking the initiative with his quick starport build. Pathfinder is a very strange map, and I think Fantasy's coaching and preparation allowed him to exploit its eccentricities quite a bit better than Stork's.

Anyways, my point is: when it was do-or-die time, Fantasy still relied on his training and his preparation. It's unclear whether he has the mental fortitude of a Jaedong, who can react to a horrible disadvantage and somehow will his way to victory.

I wanna see Fantasy win a game 5 before I fully trust him as a fan.
