Calm is at least as good as Effort right now, if not better.

Uggggggggh, people need to realize that Calm IS one of the top zergs


I know. It's like people have been purposefully trying to avoid seeing calm play at all or see any of his results for the last 6 months.

Who can blame people after seeing Calm vs Darkelf @ python? An awful game, made even worse by the fact that he lost.

If you want to see how far Calm has come, then definitely watch that game. It's so bad...

Look what people need to understand is that Calm is just not going to get a heap load of recognition until he plays in a star league where he goes into a big Bo5 with someone other than Jaedong. ZvZ is fine as a matchup but it isn't really something legends have been built on.

If we get to see Calm in a big Bo5 against Flash/Fantasy/Bisu and he comes out on top in a series of amazing games then you will see the recognition you feel he deserves.

He plays good but I mean this MSL was just... blah... people forgot it freaking existed.
Python is garbage, number 1 advocate of getting rid of it.

Uh what Calm is easily one of the top Zergs, and after this tournament he might be one of the top players, period

I mean he's 54-26 in his last 80 games, that's pretty damn fantastic considering he is the team's Ace.

wow I just realized that in every game besides game 3 (where both had the same BO) the winner was the one who had the BO disadvantage. I hope this helps show that there really aren't BO loses any more.

ZvZ is actually a good match now, better than PvP for sure at this point.

Just watched - probably the best ZvZ Bo5 since July vs GoRush in '05.

Calm was an absolute monster in these games and against Jaedong -- he defied more build order disadvantages than I wouldve thought possibe.

Purely subjective.

At least it's, in theory, just as good as PvP now because it's not as "build order lottery"-driven as it was.

Which someone like best is obviously pure personal taste. I could watch many ZvZ, but more than 2 TvT's in a row is torture...

I can't watch even a single TvT, unless I know beforehand that it was either a) very short b) extremely unorthodox or c) both.

That was actually pretty fun ZvZ match up (much better than the OSL finals...). Didn't watch it live, but I'm glad I did watch it on Baezzi's channel.

I love the STX head coach. He always gets really into the matches and seems to really care about his players.
