Sets 3 and 4 weren't "good" in the sense that they showcased strong play, but they were good in the sense that they were entertaining as hell.
EDIT: I'm surprised how little T1 nerdrage there's been so far. Disappointment sure, but I expected more straight up rage.

Calm's multitasking is currently his only real weakness - when he smooths out his ability to control more areas of the game at once he'll go from being a completely baller series player to nearly unstoppable... but right now his control becomes very spotty when things are happening all over.

pretty sure OP was making a joke about how horribly sloppy the play of the two was.

Noo. Fantasy is a good player. That game he was still in slump.... He just need a lil bit more time..

He was defending it elsewhere in the thread unironically
And the line saying fantasy is "the better player" than Calm is just silly, I'm a fan of both players but that's a pretty damn unsupported claim to make

Not really. Its pretty good vs fast expo builds like that but it gets raped by DT or Reavers. Actually it should not even beat what Bisu did, he just suicided all his goons for no good reason  I suppose Bisu just did what he could to make the build look better than it is  . I would say so, have to rewatch the game tho. Not to take anything away from Frozen since he did play it out well, but when the toss lose like 10goons with height advantage vs 5tanks without killing any tanks (dont think he killed any tanks, not 100% sure tho was watching the Leta-Hoejja game also) its usually an indication that the toss is doing something wrong the very least :p

I mean, the Shuttle vs Best game was pretty entertaining too, up until the last 7 minutes.

The fact that Best actually could fend off those attacks while being 1-2 bases down was impressive in and of itself, despite the fact that it ended up not panning out.

Really though, I just think games like that highlight what is keeping Calm from a #1 spot despite having some of the smartest play around - he is not yet good at controlling action in many locations at once.
Look at his series vs. Backho for a great example of where Calm's game still needs work (or this game tonight). He is such a good player to have such a glaring weakness - I wonder if it's something he can fix and how his game will change if it does. I see him challenging Flash for the throne if he can improve in that area, because he definitely plays a smarter game overall than Jaedong (though jaedong will always have slightly better overall mechanics). It's an interesting trade and he gets around it a lot in series play but I want to see him take the next step.

Calm got shaken up pretty badly in that game, actually both player seems nervous and aren't playing up to their usual standard imo...

Don't just tease us, translate it >:
I want to see what Shuttle said, if it's like "the only reason I don't have more wins is because you bastards never play me" or something.
