This isn't poor play at all. Both players have been making the exact correct strategic decisions in both games. It's just the micro that's lacking, but I consider this very high level play from both players.

lacking micro in a zvz? :o

Micro didn't save JD against Calm.

Still important. Strategies are countered, micro won't be truly countered.

Iris dropping the ball against kwanro is still making me sad.

A very, very sad panda.

It was there in game 1... Calm microed his drones well to deflect the sunk rush... it's just not perfect like we're used to seeing ZvZ micro.

You know, I thought this was going to be a ZvZ suckfest (in terms of entertainment), but it's actually quite awesome. Even if it is a literal suckfest.


it sucks that badly that its producing good games.


You know, I don't think so. I'm starting to think it's just that ZvZ has got to be the hardest MU to play. Calm's played brilliantly this MSL, and overall his ZvT and ZvP are really good. Kwanro... is less impressive, but his did wreck Stork (okay, lol), Flash, and Iris to get here.

But when BOTH players have so many units moving so fast, it's just hard to keep track of and "sloppiness" increases really quickly. But is it really sloppiness, or just the fact that there's so much going on it's almost impossible to keep track of it all? We've even seen JD forget drones before.

To my mind, it's like watching Bisu harass vs, say, Stork. Bisu can handle multi-tasking that most of the time even Stork/Jangbi/free can't. Now imagine that in PvP b/c of a hypothetical way the matchup works that harass becomes the ONLY viable style. Some players (like BeSt) would immediately become terrible PvP. Nobody would be able to keep up with Bisu.

So it's not so much a case of the play being bad as the matchup being really hard (and the players not being Jaedong).

these zvz's are so bad, maybe im just spoiled by jaedong's micro, but neither of these players seem like they have very good control


i hope you know that jaedong lost 1-3 to calm..


and you can also win games just by making the correct strategical decision, kwanro didn't even micro his units but because he made his extra hatch he won by outproducing calm. Both of these players haven't shown any good micro right now

Seriously, Kwanro sucks. Having 6 Larva vs and superior Drone count he was struggling like it was all even. 5+ Mutas lost to Scourges, terrible ling defence... Luckily for him, he kept pressure and fought in enemy base, so this didn't matter too much.

Still hoping Calm will pwn him.

Oh, and they're showing Kwanro's 5set win over Iris as his #1 win in this MSL. They really don't know that Iris gave this match away (probably forced by his coach)?

this finals being bad is a JOKE, you don't have to take it seriously. both of these players are competent. Calm outclassed jaedong himself in a ZvZ to get here. kwanro's strategy in set one was really fucking smart, but calm surrounded his lings, preventing him from defending the sunkens, which set him hugely behind.

it's only funny when you don't take it seriously :|

edit: this is fucking serious I hope you know that, IM BEING REALLY SINCERE RIGHT NOW
