Kal is probably the absolute most inconsistent dragon out there He suffers from the Kingdom Syndrome like no other protoss players | ||

I just meant its not the best game to show leta's tvp because blue storm is literally considered to be the easiest map to play tvp on. If you block the early game cheese once you control the center its really hard to lose. You yourself said the map is annoying for protoss. I agree its a fun game to watch but its a bad example of leta's tvp. Its like saying look how good stork is at pvt and recommend a game on katrina. | ||

Blue storm had its share of imbalances for every match up, elements that helped one race over the other. Like every other map on Starcraft. Every map has some cries of imbalance, and the majority do have it. The majority trend one race over the other, significantly or otherwise. At the end of the day, Blue Storm is not remembered as a really hard pvt map, its known as a standard, entertaining macro map that was relatively balanced. Thats why it lasted so many seasons. Protoss may not be in the best position against Terran, but its not the equivalent of Katrina or Medusa.I just meant its not the best game to show leta's tvp because blue storm is literally considered to be the easiest map to play tvp on.

I agree its a fun game to watch but its a bad example of leta's tvp. Its like saying look how good stork is at pvt and recommend a game on katrina. Either way, when Kal is not playing like ass [and he def wasnt in that game] no terran with bad tvp would have been able to take Kal down on Blue Storm. No terran with bad tvp would have even been able to split the map against Kal. Leta did that. I was not trying to show his tvp was fantastic, I was showing that it was good and it was proven, on maps that were/are frequently played. On maps with similar balance that Leta can hope for in the future. | ||

Leta already has, and Leta has already won. He's also lost in close fashion, one sided fashion, etc. Like most really good players, he can beat the majority of the best, but he can also lose to them. Leta is not a god, he is fantastic in all match ups, but hes not a god. He can get his ass handed to him some days, just like everyone save #1 on the PR can. And has, recently.  Didn't you just describe FBH's current TvP? That's what I was saying in the first place, that Leta has shown as much TvP skills as FBH. They're about the same in my book as of right now. You apparently took offense to that, but I still don't see any argument from you Leta should be considered a higher level than firebathero right now in the MU. This is a very simple thing, just compare two player, not whether they're "good", "average", "s-class", or whatever. Just straight-up comparison. | ||

Until he shows the consistency when he's playing BoX series on top of his PL games, I really don't think he's as good as everyone cracks him up to be. | ||
