Okay, it wasn't an ace match... but Calm just pulled a very similar schedule, with the exact same results.
Hmm.
You kind of forgot the part where Flash had to play four games in a row during WL because Luxury was complete fail back then.

stx is failing now huh ever since they lost to khan.
Really? I figured Calm would 2-0 and Best would 2-0 the Terrans for the 2nd spot. only way i saw him not making it was him losing to Calm twice. If Flash can't beat Best straight up i dont think light or ForGG have much of a shot

I didn't say it was the same; just similar. I don't think anyone would dispute that Flash is a better player than Calm. It's just... when JD had to play Calm and fantasy two days in a row, and lost to Calm (looking pretty bad) people made excuses for him (at least after he then beat fantasy). When Flash* dropped a great TvT, a poor game to BeSt, and a series (I honestly don't remember how good or bad it was, but he went 0-2) to Leta, people made excuses for him.
When Calm has to play four games in two days and loses all four (three against fantasy (2nd best T), Light (strong TvZ), and BeSt (who for all his bad rap has looked pretty good recently and is over 50% PvZ)), he sucks.
Calm is not Jaedong. Calm is not Flash. I understand he's not as good and likely never will be. But he is a good player. Yes, Calm has looked bad recently. But this is not the end of Calm. He'll be fine.
And no, Luxury was actually decent then. Yes he lost to hyvaa. Hyvaa is actually good at ZvZ, and was actually looking like a good player for the first time ever. KT made stupid decisions overall sending SaiR (who is bad) and HoeJJa (whose ZvZ is bad) first. Flash beat hyvaa, Really, and SangHo in a combined 35 minutes.
EPT
he was close...FUCK YEAH BEST owned calm, the hydra a-mover
