 Stork > Stats firebathero < FlashJangBi <  Luxurygreat < Violetjangbi/luxury as I said earlier is the most important match, because its the most "??" match. If jangbi wins and it goes to ace, flash very well might lose to stork or jangbi's great pvt, specially since he must be exhausted. Likewise violet would have a hard time wining pvp against them. Still, KT is favoured over all IMO. On January 04 2010 14:07 Chen wrote: They do have different styles, yes. Enough to make it hard. Beyond that though, best/stork are both high level pvt players. He would need an equally strong build order and game plan put together in order to beat them. Thats a difficult process. And using a build order against stork might expose his plans against best, yada yada. Very good chance IMO flash wont be sent out.Do Best and Stork really have drastically different play styles? hes practicing TvP for MSL anyways. Unless Best and Stork have a play style difference akin to Oov-Kwanro, there shouldnt be a problem practicing for both at the same time | ||

So far on this map, we've seen 21 terrans 13 zergs 3 protosses So Khan either sends a protoss on a map that sucks horribly for protosses, or they send a non-protoss. Flash theoretically wins against all. Whereas sending Luxury or someone else means epic fail if Khan decides to go with Great or Miracle or someone else for Ace. Edit: It's actually 21 terrans, not 16. Messed up by not double counting the 5 TvTs. It looks like a pretty clear protoss map. And it's not as if Flash isn't practicing TvP heavily against Best right now anyway. | ||

Because Flash needs to work on his MSL games against Best. There's no need to send him out and overwork him to death since KTFlash doesn't exist anymore and they're so far ahead from every other team that one loss won't mean much. Since this isn't on Outsider, Violet is a very good option to take down whatever Khan will send out as the guy has shown that he can be quite a reliable ace. KT should be pretty much expecting Jangbi/Stork for ace so they might even send out Lux. It won't be epic fail if they send out someone who isn't Jangbi/Stork since I don't think any of them can really handle Violet right now. Great isn't all that great and Miracle isn't really that good either. | ||

firebathero is only good when playing Flash. But he's damn good when he does. Upset today? I'll say yes. | ||

Are you saying that it wouldn't be a bad idea for Khan to send out someone other than Stork/Jangbi because the other people can't handle Violet? Or are you saying Stork/Jangbi can't handle Violet? | ||

Or are you saying Stork/Jangbi can't handle Violet? Sorry for the confusion English isn't my first language. What I meant is that Khan will likely send out Jangbi/Stork because their terran and zerg line can't handle Flash or Violet reliably as well as if KT sends out Violet or Lux, it won't be "epic fail" because they're good enough to do alright against anyone on Khan. Despite whatever map imba (?) there is on Tornado, I simply can't see Khan sending out anyone but Great, Jangbi, and Stork, which are all players Lux, Flash, and Violet can potentially do well against. | ||

I thought this was because of the map's ridiculous Z >>>>> P balance, not because PvT was imba on the map. | ||

His jubilant pelvic thrusts throw open a portal to the underworld, and hell's apocalypse envelops the earth without contention because a god was slain. For the sake of all humanity, Flash, don't go 14cc. That is all. | ||

It's actually 21 terrans to 13 zergs. So even assuming the ZvP imba, There's no reason not to send more tosses to snipe terrans if PvT is good. The chance of you catching terrans is higher than zergs. Which probably means that PvT is at least somewhat terran favored. Even if it's not as bad as PvZ. | ||
