Kal is powering reallly hard off 2 base. He doesn't seem to want to expand soon.

He has no army compared to Effort so that is probably a good choice.

kal is ahead in food...?


You know protoss is supposed to be 20 + ahead of z in food...?

You didnt watch their recent games vs each other then, Kal pushed Flash to his limits in both those games, more so than any dragon did these past 2 seasons.

Kal is so confused ... i wish so much he could come back, but i don't think there's anyone able to come back from 0-2 in PvZ ... not even Kal :-(

At least it won't be him crushed in the final by the T war machine.

Have you seen Effort play ZvT? It's terrible this year. On the other hand, Kal is playing some pretty good SC in general. At least, before these games.

I think the only time this matchup wasn't a rape was after the Bisu build became popular. It's pretty much back to fucked up though

it seems 5hatch hydra > FE esp when muta are out snipping ht. That game was a good example of why there was that huge thread about zvp being imbalanced, it seems like there was nothing Kal could do to overcome the huge hydra push that basically never ends.

That's why all Protoss should just go sair/reaver. It's more entertaining to watch, too.

1) Protoss has ALWAYS needed storms/reavers to have parity against Zerg in an army/army clash.

2) Kal used so much gas on useless corsairs - he built 7 or 8 over the course of the game, which killed maybe 6 scourge 3 ol and like 3 muta. Of course his ground army would be super weak as a result - that's 5 templar and 5 zlots right there.

Protoss should be able to match zerg army without storm? What would happen with storm then?

I only saw 1 gas early so I was so sure he did not go for mutas. Then I looked away and when I got back he had like a ton of mutas and scourge.

Protoss just suck tbh.

3-0 incoming. Effort is just to dominating in zvp, while kal is weak in pvz(compared with his other MU). Just a perfect MU for Effort really!

First map was triathlon! Anybody who thinks like me and think that sair/reaver would have worked out well on that map? Easy third base and gas. And sair dominates air so drop at the easy third can easily be defended.

The only "real" solution would be good use of reavers but against good zergs, that still isn't going to do much due to how little damage corsairs actually do and how tough mutalisks are.

nope. Kal would be able to challenge flash a lot more than effort's zvt.

Hey SuperArc, weren't you an Effort anti-fan a few weeks ago?

Flash versus Effort is a terrible finals. It won't even be a challenge for Flash.

Dissapointing series so far, Kal isn't doing very well. His corsairs was so out of place this game.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

His ZvT has been bad indeed but I feel like he's recovered quite a bit and his talent is freaking limitless.

Right now both kal and effort would get raped by flash but atleast effort has some potential we havent quite gotten to see yet.

Watch Stork's PvZ from around January. He focuses mostly on sair/reaver to get a safe third then forms an unstoppable death ball of goons and reavers.
