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. | ||

GG by Fantasy. Really solid play. It must be hard to be considered the heir of Boxer and iloveoov, though im not sure he can live up to that. He's still my fave Terran anyways. | ||

(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.)

Taking out JD twice in Proleague grand finals should probably be sufficient for this =O That's basically as high-pressure with minimal prep as you can get, and the weight of your whole team is on you. | ||
