Anyone who says his builds in this series are not unique is a moron. Literally no other player does the builds that FanTaSy did in this series | ||

Just regular drop play and a SCV pull, seen that before a thousand times. I guess whenever a Terran wins with that he is "amazing", "inspiring" or a "god" while whenever a Protoss wins in a similar wins it's just "protossed". Meh, not impressed by Fantasy There Is No Next Time Everything FanTaSy has ever done, everything he has ever achieved has been overshadowed by greater contemporaries. Name the 5 greatest BW Terrans of all time: hint, it goes Flash, Nada, iloveoov, Boxer and then FanTaSy. Even though he was arguably the most skilled Terran player by the end, he was outdone by Jangbi twice in the OSL Finals. In the last Proleague finals, Bisu was chosen over FanTaSy to win the crucial ace match and cement his place in history.They told FanTaSy he would get his chance to shine next time. Next time he would be the ace; next time he would hoist the OSL trophy. Next time he would take up the spotlight, alone and adored. For FanTaSy, there was never a final shot. When Brood War ended, Proleague and OSL effectively ended as the institutions he was familiar with. FanTaSy moved to SC2, where his career was mediocre in comparison. Unlike Flash and Jaedong, he has never had peak performances to make the fans remember his name. He was never SKT's ace nor its charismatic leader; Rain and PartinG took those roles respectively. And with one year left to go, FanTaSy came to realize he was stuck in a quagmire. He had fought his entire career to become a star. And while he was immensely respected for what he once was, he couldn't let this be the end. He wouldn't let this be the end. Occasionally you can see it in FanTaSy’s games, this desperate desire to become a superstar player. He wishes to be the one who makes you cheer for them solely for exciting and dynamic gameplay. The most prominent examples are his games against TRUE. Between the two of them, they have fought some of the greatest/silliest SC2 games ever played. Every time you see FanTaSy fight tooth and nail for every mineral and every worker. For him it is a battle to the death, an implacable will to never surrender. Every once in a while you see that Fantasy in his SC2 games. The brilliance and willpower and defiance rises up and it makes you understand why he was the original Crown Prince. That frustration led him to quit SKT, the group that had fostered him for 7 years, for one last chance at glory. He went on to join Dead Pixels and threw away everything to change his image, to become the star he had witnessed his teammates become again. For FanTaSy, the time is now. He had Dead Pixels fly him out to Europe for the sole purpose of qualifying for IEM WC, an investment he paid back. Here, in the largest LAN of his SC2 career, the world will be forced to recognize his presence. He must take it and seize it before it goes away from him. Second chances are no longer an option. Basically. | ||

He did say that he chose to play this way because of how Zest plays. He did a very similar thing to Rain in IEM iirc. | ||
