kwanro sunken's in main may be because of glings sneak rush ? It's way better than losing 2 drones by definding with themselves.

Anyone else think it's funny how Kwanro can't do the super serious staring contest thing without smiling uncomfortably?

GJ Calm, well deserved win.

Now switching over to watch to another zvz, except these guys are actually good at it!


oh for gods sake...

calm beat effort.
calm beat jaedong.
and now calm beat kwanro.


The final wasn't exactly... *good*... but calling calms zvz weak is just ... well... a blatant lie. He beat about every good ZvZ player there is (except luxury in the wcg).

You can say that the finals weren't exciting.
You can say that calm/kwanro aren't exactly... fan favorites...
You can say that this MSL sucked.

But ffs you can't say that calms zvz is bad, the recent data just tells the exact opposite of that.


Calms micro wasn't that good... He's just very good strategically (aka Smart)]

vs Jaedong his builds were so well prepared and executed and he won seemingly easily. (coupled with jaedongs practice)

vs Effort there were 2 complete bo + scouting wins. So it's hard to say he is that much better at zvz. Good mind games though.

However, winning 3 zvz best of 5's in a row with only 2 losses is not something to be taken lightly, so congrats to Calm :D.



I don't want to overexagerate calms skills but he did very good in the proleague, he really was just kinda under the radar cause Bisu/Flash/JD went absolutely nuts when it comes to proleague dominance...

But well... If you just look at the facts.. he beat about everyone there was to beat in this tournament when it comes to ZvZ... Saying his ZvZ is bad therefore is, at least, stupid.


It's ZvZ... A year ago everyone would have called it pure BO luck, thanks to Jaedong people (me included) finally could/can see that there is much more involved than building your pool/hatch at the right time.


Calm is no JD, no Flash and no Bisu... But if they all fail, someone has to take the trophy. A final between Iris and Calm would have been much better (most probably) but Calm beat about everyone with a name when it comes to ZvZ in a Zerg dominated tournament, therefore his ZvZ has to be kinda good .



And now:
Let's hope for more exciting finals in the next season(s).

I accept this rant because you at no point try to defend, Kwanro's skills. Kwanro sucks and we all know it.
