Too bad the winner of Stork and Jangbi will lose to a zerg anyway.

Silver :p

This is JangBi's MSL for the taking. Take it for fuck's sake! You need a title, kiddo!

The writers didn't mention the fact that Stork had just won a very stressful match against the beast Jaedong 1 day before.

DAMN! 3-0 and you got a C, that's not exactly generous.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I'd just like to add that I find Artosis's clear Terran bias hilarious ^^

LOL at Kwark's report on Stork. What's weird is that Stork almost never fails to get an early game advantage in PvT. It seems that when the dust settles and the game moves to the mid-game, Stork would always inevitably be at such an edge that he doesn't need micro to win. Then it's just a matter of macroing enough units to a-move FTW!

I must say you got to at least give Stork credit for knowing his opponent and the map enough to do this. In terms of strategy, Stork is a PvT God.

Stork played really well in the 1set and 2set no doubt. He exploited timings and maps perfectly, and was really aggressive when necessary. However, it's just hard to heap praise upon him considering a) the level his opponent was playing at and b) his fairly abysmal performance in the 3set.

It could very well be that Stork tanked simply because he knew he didn't even have to bring his A-game to win...that's just not a very likely story IMO.

Well, I think it's more a matter of Stork unable to bring his A-game due to all the PvZs(especially against Jaedong just the day before) he's been playing.

Also, the impression I get from Stork interviews is that he's extremely cocky when it comes to PvT. Almost as if he just dismisses any terran opponent he faces. Which seems very out of character considering his views on other things.

artosis, cheese is part of the game. boxer will tell that to you too. jangbi did what needed to get done, deviating from his standard play to keep nada guessing. the better player came out on top, even though i was rooting for nada.
god is about as useful as a protoss scout

Yeah, I hear ya. Honestly, I would have like fOrGG to punish him for not preparing for this series but instead fOrGG came out and pretty much played with his head where the sun don't shine.

Storks got the skills to back up his cocky tvp talk. In their previous boX series stork walked over him again even though he was practicing for the OSL semis vs Best. And it doesn't help that forgg sucks at vP compared to his other match ups

The cool thing about this MSL is:

Stork: Came in second so damn many times, he deserves another title (he is actually the only player with chances to get the double this year?).
Jangbi: Came in second twice (?), he deserves a title.
Luxury: Stuck around for a while, showed good results here an there but won nothing major yet (well WCG) and would also be a *good* title holder.
Zero: New kid on the block...

3 Players are kinda overdue for a title (1 for sure and 1 really deserves more than 1 gold for his long term results)... This MSL shapes up really good and we will have an exciting ZvP final.

two things: 1. the first part of the write-up should say quarterfinal C, not semifinal C.
2. in the first paragraph of the semifinal A preview, you spelled paced wrong (pased). great write-up though. especially kwark's view on stork's play. and hopefully artosis will do the terran write-ups from now on. artosis rocks.

also, i think stork's mediocre play vs forgg was due to him practicing his ass off for osl. he's up against jaedong, and his pvz has historically been terrible. at least he'll get time to practice for the semi's (he'll need it vs jangbi)
Stork's biggest fan

great write up.
FYI the red digitalized character superimposed over the two combatants in the middle of front page banner is the traditional chinese character 龍 which means DRAGON.

This series was so much fun to watch. NaDa's still got it. I will not doubt him again -- I called this one 3-1 JangBi because JangBi is just that good, but JangBi wasn't so much better than NaDa to make me feel like I'd call the series that way again if they played another bo5.
And why can't there be more bo5s? These are so much fun!!
