Amazing newspost, too bad I'm in an exam tomorrow at the time they battle it out. I do favor Stork for this one, though.

Well, the Bisu warm-up turned out quite alright....
I feel I'm turning into this anti-Flash-dude. He's undeniably good, but there's something about him that keeps poking my nerves..
Huge fan of JulyZerg, HonestTea and that guy Kim Taek Yong.

I think you're mixing me and Plexa up here. I actually said:

Flash might never have played a Bo5, but I’m not sure if Stork has ever won a Bo5 on the last game. If the game gets to this point we might see some mistakes creep into Stork’s play, and it will be up to Flash to take advantage of that.

So yeah, I agree with you that Stork seems to make more mistakes the longer the match continues, and Flash generally plays consistently. The only time Flash plays inconsistently in my opinion is when he's busy losing. He seems to play slightly rashly when he's doing badly, rather than trusting his abilities and going for a macro game.

Plexa on the other hand believes that Flash's inexperience in long matches will cost him, while Stork's experience will be the telling factor, which obviously also plays a role. It's a very hard game to call.


Whoa, my bad. Definitely confused one great analysis with another great analysis. What's also interesting is that Flash and Stork have very similar play-styles: virtually perfect macro and force concentration combined with strong anti-harass skills. What makes it even more crazy is that since they've practiced with one another, they KNOW how similar they are. Mind games.
That's not awful writing, DAMMIT. It's perfectly sensical english construction.

I think Flash will take the series 3:2 or even 3:1, he looked too good against Bisu today although this wasnt Bisus best day

Stork better win this or OSL. He has too many freaking silver and bronze medals already.

I predict 3-1 game to Stork, it just seems like his time to win.
this is my quote.

I will be watching this live tonight. Awesome writeup, this tournament has been unbelievably hyped and with Tasteless' sexy commentary, this will be such an epic series. I predict 3:1 for Stork, if only because of 2x Katrina.

the maps are imbalance to terran. Katrina and Baekmagoji are completely on the favour of protoss but what we can see is that (T)Flash has now found the way to counter carreris in Katrina...if (T)Flash wants to win it, he would have to win 1stly 1 game in Katrina and another in blue strom. in Baekmagoji (T)Flash had very little chance on that map. so they may enter the 4th game. if (P)Stork went for carreirs in the 1st game and (T)Flash countered it, he would change a strategy and maybe go for normal pvt zeolot and dragoon play and maybe going abiters in late game. but protoss can also own by this strat in Katrina so they may go for the 3rd game and it would be a very interesting match. i cant predict anything out of this but because the imbalancement of the map, i predict (P)Stork 3-2.

Flash is looking very strong, but I Storks PvT seems more solid and he isn't likely to make the same mistakes Bisu did. *Goes to the Stork corner*

But Stork seriously need to lay off the sweaty bum winter jacket in july style.. it's just plain nasty.
I wouldn´t call him stupid, but let´s just say he´s unlucky when thinking...

Ode to Plexa <3. Was an awesome read, now I'll go hunting for the VODS! Most likely will be here on TL somewhere. Maybe your last action can be to punish me after I bump this
