i'd rather kal win, but only because he has the better chance of beating flash. somehow though, i think effort might just take it because his ZvP is just so good.

either way, i hope they dont get 3:0'd by flash

When did Kal ever have "legendary" PvZ? Never? It's been "pretty good" at best, considering he could never beat a zerg on the bigger stages.

Effort will fall behind 2-1 then halfway through set 4 after losing his tech tree to a dt drop covered by a fleet of sairs, he'll ask for a pause and complain about his mouse again.

It was 70%, that's pretty damn good. He had the best PvZ out of all the Dragons.

Kal will do some DIRRRRRRRRRRRRTY work with his shuttles! To be honest Kal SHOULD have the best PvZ environment to train. He have Calm/July/Hero to practice with. All of them are exceptional ZvPers. Effort on the other hand have Movie to train with and Savior for advices (we all know how savior was at ZvP). So when it comes down, this WILL be epic!

He has been awfully good against zerg, just because he has struggled against Jaedong doesn't mean that he can't PvZ.

Guys if you take away his games vs Jaedong, he is actually 69% against Zerg.

Alright, legendary is a quite strong and subjective term, its mostly just there for effect. Kal never defeated a big zerg on bigger stages, and he didnt play that much PvZ during the earlier stages of his career, so the stats might be a bit deceptive if you insist. Still, Kal did indeed have the best results vs Z out of all the dragons around the time of their dominance.
Regardless, legendary or not, statistically PvZ was simply his best matchup, while now its his weakest, and many say that its holding him back from advancing further. (and getting defeated by JD in a semifinal and a final are enough examples already) In that sense, he does have to "rediscover" his PvZ, get it up to par at least with his other matchups. That's what i was trying to hint at when writing that sentence, and using the Redemption tagline in the first place.

lol, a nice piece of statistics! I knew he's like 3-13 against JD, I just never realized you can look at it like that. I think it proves the point of a lot of us in this thread.

Hmmm, Jaedong wants Kal to win... that way Flash has to split his time between practicing TvP and TvZ...

I think Flash playing Kal would be worse for Jaedong. Flash hasn't played a high-level TvZ in a while (last TvZ I remember was him curbstomping Soulkey 10 bases to 3), so we don't know if Flash is still playing the same style. Without more recent games of Flash TvZ I don't think JD will be as willing to use a build like 3-hatch before pool.

On the other hand, Flash has already prepared for 2 bo5s vs toss recently and it looks like his most dominating matchup right now. Plus he didn't even have to play all the games in those series so he probably still has some strategies he hasn't revealed yet.

i really fucking envy west cost starcraft fans in times like these.

Kal 3-2 IMO, only because eye of the storm is pretty bad for P (otherwise I'd say 3-1)

Dude, I've watched almost every single game for the past year (And all STX games minus Calm-Great) and I've been in New York =3

This will be a part of Kal's historic OSL run, you better stay up and watch it as an STX fan! =(

Meh, rooting for Kal. I like him more, and it's better if Flash saves all his TvZ for Jaedong the week after.

Hoping EffOrt thinking Kal!
Not that I like EffOrt/ I hate Kal, its just that EffOrt getting into the Semifinals would be nice for once. Cuz we all want to see FlaSh's TvZ streaks in action again. Pure and Free should show that Kal has no chance.
