Artosis vs. Korean Pro Gamer Legend, Stork

[@danielsoto8421]

Obviously Stork has hundreds of MMR points more, but the fact that Artosis is high enough to match against him, and other progamers, makes me happy

[@Stokkeland23]

Or you could say the reason Artosis matches against him is that everybody left the game.

[@danielsoto8421]

@@Stokkeland23 Could be, but I am generally of the glass half full kind

[@gosu1989]

I think it was just a random match, once you get to 2600+ it's extremely hard to get a game so Stork was probably queuing for ages and the matchmaking system just decided to randomly match him against someone.

[@ethansaltmere]

Also arty plays in the early morning in Korea where the player base is at its lowest

[@Grasuggan22]

But still protoss have to do a risky move. Fly in with arbitar and recall. If terran could have killed that maybe they could win.

[@7thquark309]

You can truly feel the insane pressure from Protoss It was like "try to stay alive as long as possible" 18mn is actually impressive.

[@Artas1984]

Stork has been in pro scene since 2004, where Flash ''only'' since 2007. Stork is the best possible old school oponent Artosis could have EVER wanted, relative to his own age. A perfect match would be Artosis vs. Pusan though...

[@Leny1777]

We would come.

[@Lion-rf8xi]

Is it a fraction of a point that just does not show or actually 0 the least I've ever gotten is -1.

[@BaconHer0]

Since Artosis lost to Stork does that mean Stork is a bad player?

[@llllllllllllllllllll1296]

Stork didn’t ask him to leave despite of their mmr gap he’s so gentle

[@dennisrodriguez3689]

Why would you leave though? You don't have an opportunity to play against the great Stork everyday. I would have the honor to put up my best fight.

[@markfish1113]

yeah if stork went reavers is ez win. He played very safe against an amateur.

[@ohana_j4n]

if he wouldnt killed the ursadons, arty would have won

[@michaelcallisto]

Holy shit, I thought this was an arranged match. Imagine randomly meeting a bonjwa on the ladder...

[@0Akeldama0]

so arty just matched with him randomly on ranked ladder? cool.

[@harizotoh7]

Their MMR is around 2700 so it doesn't happen often to players at the 2100 range.

[@xaositectz]

Stork is not a bonjwa, he's just a famous bw player

[@Artas1984]

@@xaositectz get your shit straight man. Stork has been since 2004. He will always be considered 4th best player of all time - that is enough for Bonjawa. Players with less success are bonjawas.

[@xaositectz]

​@@Artas1984 only players have given this title who have multiple starleague wins, often consecutive, dominating the scene and reinventing matchups and metagame. First it was savior, then it was given to boxer, iloveoov, nada and flash. Stork was one of the "six dragons" of protoss and one of the greats of brood war but definitely not a bonjwa. not even Bisu or Jaedong were given this title, and both of those players were much more successful than Stork.

[@dnpdjfdlwmejshty7947]

koreans are very fast to use control from SC. 'cuz they're enjoying this sc 1 and also watched the starcraft league from the past. that's why they're very interested for this game and how to control like this. Well fought Artosis! you did your best and i'm so proud of your control skills from sc1! impressive!

[@TheOdMan]

06:56 is that the Academy sound effect?

[@testedtech]

Me thinking tosis was reasonably satisfied with this match. He didn't lose his bunker (though that was scary to watch!), saved his first tank with a great SCV block, and just in general handled that early ranged goon pressure very well to my novice eyes, he can be proud of that I think. Too bad about the late armory because he did enter the command to make, but I guess he just didn't see that it wasn't making the few times afterwards when he went to his natural. You never expect to win a macro game against such a player, but it's nice to see his overall glee despite the loss and complete lack of complaint. Not to mention he lost 0 points because it wasn't a smurf. It's just nice to see Artosis with absolutely nothing to complain about for once. Perhaps to add on to the armory that didn't build, if he got the 4th CC building as he expected, and handled the tank position and siege as he was trying to take his 3rd better, it would of been even more interesting (though still a loss without doubt). I guess the high ground makes it tricky. Maybe if he sieged immediately as the tanks got on the high ground (there was a slight delay and Stork pounced as soon as the siege animation started and cleared a handful of tanks). Thoroughly enjoyed watching this game.

[@orionlt1028]

That Artosis face expression at the beginning when he saw his opponent:))))

[@dennisrodriguez3689]

And he tripping when sending the SCV to the mineral was priceless.

[@mauriciobetimpaesleme8702]

Damn that SCV block at the beginning was so clutch. Unfortunately, the second protoss attack was just too costly :( keep at it man! Great game

[@dangermonkeygostones]

Not getting enough value from the mech army early. Build the 4th CC in the main, secure it with a couple tanks while taking map control so that terran isn't suddenly behind 5 bases to 3. Then the fight at 15:00 went really badly; scan just a moment late, EMP just a moment late, and it all falls apart. Stork in complete control with clutch shuttle play.

Couch coach, try surviving the first five minutes first. It's very easy to look bad when you are outclassed.

I saw Stork in the Miniature and saw 18 minutes video and thought. Bro, tell me it was a 17 minutes game, because If it was a 5 minutes game with 13 minutes of analysis I was going to be really disappointed.

[@YouJustAmazeMe]

You handled the fights well imo, problem is going even with army trades vs toss is great for toss, since their bases go up unmolested. Ggwp, I wonder how it would have went if you tried to pull something a little more tricky to not let stork sit back comfortably

[@Sabu113]

Idk max 200/200 feels like a relatively comfortable part of the game for toss. Maybe I’m scarred by last.

[@isaacsteele7986]

Secret to kiling toss is killing the economy. You need to harass and kill their probes, similar to how you go for drones and bases in tvz. Specifics are diffrent, but trading army is pretty bad for the terran unless you capitalize on it. Fill all you bases with spider mines and have less bases so its harder for them to counter while you squeeze em dry.

[@markfish1113]

artosis camped out hence stork expand the whole map..

That is so like Artosis to execute his tank and scv micro perfectly when he's facing a pro gamer's dragoons.

[@SeanKula]

Yeah I think Artosis's opening is perfect he just needs to more active on the map. Alot of people say this so I know it's not just me. If you look at programers like Light he is VERY active on the map and all over the place. He has the enemy on constant guard.
