Does it matter?

This.

Even fantasy with his meh'ish bio could go 3-1 against Calm. I don't see how Flash isn't going to 3-0 this noob.

Having said that, I'm really do hope Calm can bring his A-game to the match.

Eye of the Storm is the only map that favors ZvT. The rest seem fairly statistically balanced. Let's see if Calm can exploit something.


Every map in OSL is great for ZvT.

No. Try looking harder.


Right, sorry. I forgot random TLers know more about maps than Flash because they can quote tlpd.

Which interview is this from?


Q: Still, you can’t take the next games lightly.
A: The maps are good for Zerg, so I knew game one was a must win. So I prepared for game one like it as do-or-die. Zerg is good on Heartbreak and Eye of the Storm, so I’ll have to work hard to stay sharp and have some good games.


He didn't mention El Nino because that wasn't in his map pool vs Jaedong, but Fighting Spirit is supposedly more doable for TvZ according to him.

That means, as far as we know, it's 1-2 in favor of zerg (1 is Fighting Spirit, 2 is HBR and Eye Of the Storm). It really comes down to El nino though since it's the first map and goes twice.


So because flash says it automatically means its true? lol please.


HBR has always been good for Zerg. Even though the TvZ stats on it look balanced, the number of ZvZs on it are more than double the number of TvTs, showing how comfortable people are about sending Zergs out on it (I'm looking at old HBR's stats, since it's a bigger sample). I think it's pretty close to balanced TvZ, certainly nothing any Zerg should complain about.

Eye of the Storm hasn't had many games played on it, but it's 4-7 so far in favor of Zerg. I think Flash knows better than you do about how it is balance-wise in his thousands of practice games, too.

Flash isn't the type to lie about maps being 'bad' for his race, either. He openly said that Ultimatum was imba in favor of Terran in one of his interviews, for example.


Actually the influx of zergs on that map is because zerg is favored over protoos, protoss favored over terran, but terran merely balanced with zerg.

And does anyone remember for the WCG set between Bisu and Flash, Bisu said the maps were hard for protoss and Flash said the maps were hard for terran?


Well Bisu is a whiny bitch.

Lol really? loooool

Flash vs Calm drinking game to help you enjoy new year's eve. take a drink:

-every game calm wins
-every time flash does a build that's not 1-rax into CC
-every time a discussion on whether something is "all-in" spans more than a page
-every time flash's ruler appears on screen
-every time calm is called a noob (limit 1 per hour)
-every time a meta-discussion about LR threads lasts more than a page
-if idra posts at least once, two drinks if someone insults idra about bm or something

flash has also said he had difficult time practicing on El Nino in one of the interviews I translated on.
But he only said practice was hard so I have no idea how he feels about that now

If he does a bad job of crushing Flash, does that mean Flash will win?

Everyone's talking about maps so in the slight chance Calm actually wins, everyone can nerd-rage about the maps.

Easy for you to say. Calm fans are in an easy position. Calm has nothing to lose and if he wins it's an incredible validation of being his fan. If he gets crushed no one will remember the ridiculous Calm fans trying to will themselves into thinking that he's so smart he can overcome his gross deficiencies as a standard player in a BO5.

You're actually not doing anything ballsy by supporting Calm. It's one of the best positions to be in as a fan, in fact.

Calm has a much better shot at taking games off Flash than the others. The other games were Bo1 blunders for the most part, all embarssing but for the most part he played pretty well, only collapsing late in the game.

Well practiced and with a focused mind, Calm is the second biggest non protoss threat against Flash in a Bo5. (Some may argue Effort but I think he's a little fresh and untested, as well as being the kind of "safe" zerg that Flash macro rolls pretty well).

Given that Calm has been losing to high(er) level Terran like Fantasy and Light frequently over the past month or so... and Flash has been absolutely dominating the likes of Jaedong... 3-0 curbstomp incoming.


Ok how is Flash "dominating Jaedong" when they only played 1 straight up game 2nd one being cheese? I wouldn't consider that "dominating" unless he 3-0's Jaedong no problem in MSL I believe it is assuming they both make it to play eachother? I sure hope so because if it does happen and flash does 3-0 jaedong like slaughters I will stop replying to posts like this.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Whaaaaa??? Calm over Effort, and ZERO? I don't think so. Zero's game 3 versus flash was a lot closer than most people made it out to be, and I wonder what kind of chorus we'd all be singing if Zero was a bit better with his mutas, and had he not lost his first three guardians carelessly.

This is the Alcoholics Anonymous drinking game for the new years: Every time Calm wins a game, have a shot.

Flash's mind games are getting pretty good. Effort's macro is good and ZerO's muta micro is good but when you're playing a Bo5 those things become less important than knowing what your opponent is going to do based on the situation, and Calm is good at that.

I'd say Calm is the #2 Zerg right now. Effort and ZerO are amazing but they're not as complete as Calm.

I don't think anyone will do that. If Calm wins, it's because he absolutely deserved to win. No doubt he's been practicing just as hard as Flash for this series.
