Effort it's a better player then some people think, he sometimes plays at the level of his opponent.

And somehow I felt that he shouldnt have gotten that regame in the tiebreakers, so far Shine could've done exactly what Effot was doing. ZvZ and ZvP...


and so far two have lost 1-3. How will Effort fare???

I expected more from Kal ffs! Effort was beastly. It was like he saw everything coming his way in slow motion and dodged it. He lost everything he had in set 3 and then returned with four bases!?!?!?!?!?


Effort did play kinda decent but it is ridiculous that a zerg can defend with two units against a whole ground army. Those two lurkers saved the game for him...

What all you CJ fans should be hoping for is Iris to get back deep in a Starleague so he shows these kids what a real series looks like - win or lose.

Effort wasn't overhyped; he really was a beast last season. And his ZvP is still very scary. But he basically stole Shine's spot -- and I don't even like Shine, but those tiebreakers were pathetic -- so I hope Flash crushes him.

As for the imba arguments -- Kal displayed subpar PvZ, while Effort played solidly. The better player won.

agree on this, Effort showed intelligent play at least, maybe he can pull out something good for the final

This OSL will be remembered as the "rapefest OSL". Both semis 3-0 and most likely a 3-0 final...
It is so painful to see someone like effort actually reach the finals...

Actually 90% of semi-finals these days are 3-0 rapefest. I can only remember Calm 3-1 JD that isn't.

well that's cause Flash has been in the 2 semi-finals last season and the 2 semi-finals these season.

3-1 / 3-1
now:
3-0 / 3-0

(also if you want to count 3-0 for Flash vs July in GOM S3 and 3-0 Iris vs Effort)

Yeah that makes so much fucking sense, all players just play way way worse than they usually do if they face effort.

Or maybe you dont know what youre talking about and dont realise all the freakin things he does so freakin well.

This is just like when people said
"Oh JD played well yeah, but he only won like this because Kal choked and played terrible yadda yadda"

People look terrible when you play amazing

For the multitude of you who are whining about EffOrt, you clearly haven't seen his play since the tiebreakers. I mean, it's like two entirely different players (I know someone will bring up match fixing right here) but EffOrt has just won 11 straight games against all three races and in dominating fashion. This isn't the Kim Jung Woo of last month, this is the messiahlisk/alien/hawk of the middle of last year.

I've been saying it ever since, the legend of the tiebreaker; EffOrt isn't losing anymore.

(Z)EffOrt is back, and with style.

I feel so bad for kal. So unlucky with the ro4 opponents. (monster zvp)

Previous MSL ro4 : jaedong 3 - 0 kal
Current OSL ro4 : effort 3 - 0 kal

Im going to back SuperArc here

before Effort's slump, his ZvT was 21:3, this is fucking unheard of

Even Jaedong/Savior/GoRush/Chojja/July wasn't able achieve such feat.

You know which Zerg had a similar record to Effort in ZvT?

Mother Fucking (Z)YellOw

Silver jokes aside, Effort's ZvT is the real deal

and I for one am happy that effort finally made it to the finals. TBH with you he was the one CJ player who deserved it the most

Coach must be proud. Maybe remembering being with sAviOr to such events.

True - at least if Jaedong wins (and he will). People will say that Flash can just practice TvZ now and it'll be easier, but honestly this will make the MSL vs Jaedong a lot more difficult on him than if he could just bust out whatever he wanted TvP-wise on Kal.

Yeah, I'm sorry but I don't remember anyone saying that. And if you can't see that Kal played a lot worse in this series than he did vs Jaedong, I don't know what to tell you.

Yikes, Flash is 3-4 versus Zerg on this map.

At least he has time to prepare.
