kwanro is like the smartest sneakiest motherfucker in progaming

if you watched a couple kwanro games and a couple effort games you would never think it was Kwanro who was consistently succeeding in individual leagues (MSL finalist, MSL semis, OSL Ro16 x2), and was 9-1 in his last 10.

but kwanro is smart and has smart builds and outside of the game trickery like this to make up for his lack of ability.

i love it

He's getting rolled over by Flash no matter what he does. He's a top zerg, but Stork doesn't think highly of him, and I put Jaedong, Calm, Effort, and Shine above him.

I actually think Flash will have a hard time playing against kwanro provided that he doesn't change his play style. Flash relies a lot on his defensive skills to establish a strong economic advantage, much like Oov used to do back in the days. This is exemplified by his greedy FE openings against JD/Calm/Zero (minus the rush on HBR). Kwanro is known for his aggressive pre-muta early game (read: all-ins), and this is a style that is similar to JulyZerg (and we all know how the series between July and oov went).

Well Kwanro and Jaedong/Calm/Effort are not really comparable.

Calm is a middle game player, Jaedong/Effort late game (yes, Jaedong is more of a management player now). Shine is an aggressive player, yes.

Kwanro while fully capable of playing late game ZvT (unlike Shine who cant play any late game whatsoever) is unpredictable. Hes the type of player who could just change from three hatch muta into three hatch lings.

And IF Kwanro finds an all-in strategy to Flash's one rax expand Flash COULD lose the series. If anyone can beat Flash early game its Kwanro. But I highly doubt it, if he were on CJ sure! XD

I think Flash will choose to go 2 rax CC over 1 rax CC in his series against Kwanro. Either that or 1 rax cc with very early simcity at the natural.

Flash's game vs Calm on El Nino was close (talking about turret to muta timing), if Kwanro was playing at that moment, Flash may just have lost there.

well said, but I dont know the result of the series between July and Oov ? Ovv lost 3-0 ?

Gillette OSL semis

July 3-2 Oov, not as impressive as a 3-0 or 3-1 on paper, but given how dominating oov was at the time, it was a huge upset.

▲ I want to thank my teammates who helped me with practice. Before I came here today, I practiced with Kwanro a lot, and I think that helped me greatly. Kwanro told me I have to win today so that Flash will have a harder time preparing for both TvZ and TvP. I think that was why he helped me with practice so hard. In the end, it worked out well.

Kwanro? Beating FLASH? In a BEST OF FIVE? I can't believe this is even being debated lmao.

Also to whoever compared Kwanro with July...don't...Kwanro's well established as a player and even if he has potential for monumental improvement, it sure as hell won't happen overnight right now...also wtf...Flash already beat Kwanro with a simple timing attack like 4 weeks ago
