It's good, I think. If Kal avoided Jaedong, he'd just get completely rolled by some other good player eventually like he always does.

I'm not sure if you are, but are you honestly making the argument that TvP is easier than ZvP?

Honestly, I don't understand how you manage to be a dedicated BW fan when you are so convinced that the entire game is rigged in favor of one race.

Anyway, Kal is fucked against Jaedong. I would give him a <5% chance to win.

No I'm saying PvT is a fair matchup.

I'm convinced because it -is- rigged cause of Terran imba ~.~

Interesting, an interview with MSL group F winner without the interview with the actual MSL group F winner lol.

Anyway, Kal really has some shitty luck...serves him well. Don't like PvT on these maps, eh? Have some PvZ instead!

Your record against Jaedong is 3-13, with 9 straight losses.
-Even though I knew the record was very tilted, I didn’t know there was a 9 loss streak. It seems like I’m just food for Jaedong [laugh] I don’t want to contribute too many more wins to him, it’s time for me to win now.

Bai bai Kal.
CSheep Terran hate.

I think it's more like, on open maps, Z>P>T, and on closed maps, T>P>Z, due to the necessity of flanking in ZvP, ZvT, and PvT.

Poor Light. Probably one of the top 3 TvZers and no one ever seems to care about him. Seriously, he won 18 out of his last 19 TvZ matches, including wins against JD, Calm, Action, Effort and Kwanro.

Glad he made it out of the group 2-0 instead of 2-1 because he could pose a serious threat to JD.

Open maps are not really favorable for ZvT if Terran goes bio because it is easier for the Terran to dodge lurkers and dark swarms. On the other hand, closed maps are bad for ZvT if the terran goes mech since tanks become much more effective.

Basically, the Terran can always make the map favor him in ZvT.

Not really. Long rush distances are always good for Zerg, and the correct mix of choke points and open spaces will favor the Zerg.

If Terran has to move through an open center, mech is clunky, particularly if the third or fourth base is impossible to hold without taking a wide spread in the open center. However, if there are chokes/high ground defending the mouth of each base, a couple lurkers can hold bio in those locations, mitigating the benefit of open spaces.

I think Eye of the Swarm serves as a solid example. So might Heartbreak Ridge.

Also, a map with features that favor bio (and screw mech), but with a main/nat extremely vulnerable to mutalisk harass, may favor Zerg.
My strategy is to fork people.

Actually, I am pretty impressed that Light made it out. He stated that he had no confidence in anything other than TvZ nowadays and he finished the group 2-0.

Well, if you were just looking for another opportunity to bitch about Terran, you shouldn't have quoted the post you did, because it didn't even claim that PvT is imbalanced. Just sayin'.

I think it's perfectly fine for a Translator should be given opportunity to express their opinion in a very small T/N column since they freaking did the work and translated something for free. They deserve it, wouldn't you say? Just because it offends your point of view doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to say it

I think kal's problem is that he isn't very good at all at changing his play style towards his opponent. He always tries to just play his own style every game and while it works a lot of the time, when a player plays a good counter style to his he can't win. Like watching effort vs kal, effort completely changed his playing style to counter kal very well while kal just played the same style he always plays.

it's doubly bad for him vs jaedong since jaedong already has a style that counters kal easily.

BUT ONE DAY HE WILL LEARN TO ADAPT HIS PLAY STYLE TOWARDS HIS OPPONENT AND THEN HE WILL BE WINNING STARLEAGUES YALL

He'll make it out against Jaedong. Right after Idra qualifies for a SL.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.
