The blue eyed Protoss progamer taking on the Birdtoss. Stork won last year's WCG, can Draco take his title?



Stork spawned at the bottom left on Ride of Valkyries and Draco at the bottom right. Both players went for zealot first later into dragoons pumping from one gateway. Stork and Draco went for the exact same build, pumping from one gateway into Robotics facility to later add on another gateway.

Both players started to produce Reavers. While Stork expanded, Draco did not. Instead the Polish player went for the attack, which Stork was ready for. With nice unit control Stork managed to push back Draco's Dragoons and Reavers. After this, Stork found himself having four reavers and two shuttles ready for the moveout along with the many Dragoons.

Draco was on the edge of his seat as he noticed the four reavers dominating his natural. Despite good reaver micromanagement by the foreigner, Stork was able to push back Draco in to his main base. With the expansion down, Draco was faced with a decision of whether to tap out or try to defend and hold off the attack.

Draco sends a shuttle trying to kill Stork's probe while his army is at Draco's natural. Stork was prepared for the counter-attack, which frustrated Draco as he was no longer able to do anything. Stork drops two reavers into Draco's base and taking out most of Draco's probes. With nothing left to do, Draco taps out and writes "gg yo".
