Calm will NOT beat JD or bisu. JD's ZvZ is 80%. Bisu, vs Zerg is 65%. Calm's Overall is 54%, his Vs z is 53% and his Vs P is 56%. He is a B+ player. He is above average but he ain't anywhere near S-class. Also despite ZvP being his best machup it's also the one where he has played the least games. No way will calm win the MSL. No. Just No. Bisu(and free in 1 game in october) is the only Protoss to beat Calm since the start of this PL season. Calm is an STX zerg and like any STX Zerg he fucking destroys Protoss players. Since October of 2008 he has gone 14-5 vs Protoss or ~74%. You are looking too much into his career stats. He's been around for a while true, but since October of last year Calm has been on fire. In 2009 so far he has a 68.9% winning ratio. Although as we have seen again and again with Leta and Effort, that doesn't mean shit till you start to compete in leagues. And this is the 1st time Calm has gone past the Ro32 in a league. I feel he has a strong chance vs anyone except for Jaedong (as no zerg does :\). In a Bo5 I feel that Calm can take down Bisu. I really love watching Calm play, he is currently my favorite player to watch right now, especially with the few appearances that July has been making lately, Calm has really taken the torch as the most creative/fun-to-watch Zerg lately. | ||

lol yeah pretty silly comment from foucault anyways... Anyways I don't think Calm's ZvP is the main problem but his ZvZ.. Doesn't even need to be JD, effort would take care of him ez as well. | ||

But I don't think he has the raw mechanics required to win a bo5 against a S-Class player...however looking at Julys latest OSL anyone can win if they play smart or have bad opponents | ||

There's definately been a huge improvement in his skill and it doesn't seem to be declining anytime soon. I can definately see a title in the lads future. It wouldn't be disapointing by any means if this were to come true. | ||
