I don't mean to diss on him, he played extraordinarily well, but I just don't see what it was he did that was boxer like. He played fairly standard PvZ.
I didn't watch this match yet so I can't comment on his game here, but he's often played games where he comes back with clutch micro and drops. To compare him to Boxer might be a stretch, but he probably is the most fun Protoss to watch right now (and not the kind of fun Backho or Rock provide).

hite needs to crank it into high leta-abuse mode. though hogil was a good choice considering they sent out kal, it just seems like if they were looking to snipe protoss they should have sent horang2.

Calm: Meh Kal: No! Bogus: Don't try to be cute, go BC next time. But well played. Hero: Messy hydra bust at the beginning, just messy. Kal: Could kill an expansion earlier but did everything right. It's funny to forget about the HT @ the natural only casting storm after it was attacked.

stylistically kal isnt very similar to boxer at all but i meant how every one of his PvZs are consistantly awesome.
today wasn't his best recent one but 1st off I was coming off the high of his PvP where he tried to sac his army to completely destroy horang2's eco and it didnt work but was still awesome lol
2nd off he did the same build that he's done before on match point and I love it so much. he basically gets his mineral only so early with just half a control group of ground units, a reaver, and 6-8 corsairs.
maybe this game in particular didnt have anything TOO awesome, but I probably just get way too excited whenever Kal plays (especially a PvZ). right now it's basically like whenever July got to play a ZvT or ZvP back in the day when he still played PL :\
|
I really Kal a lot and he was always the 2nd best PvZer for me after Bisu back in the dragon days, but imo it's way too I don't know how to say it (his wins are many times way too close?).
I just don't think Kal's PvZ has the consistency to win a bo5 against Effort.
