Kal:s option here is to defend the third and utlitize it before moving out. Reavers and temps at chokes rapes hydras a-moving in and Kal had 3 reavers at his third. The longer the game goes the more ineffective mass-hydras become when Protoss upgrades kicks in and when you have some serious splash damage with many reavers and temps. Kal was just too damn impatient. | ||

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. Honestly bro, I'm deeply sympathetic to your point of view. You know in your heart of hearts that EffOrt is bad, and yet most of the time a progamer plays him, they just totally forget how to play the game. That's gotta be frustrating. I mean, which other player logs 420 average apm with insane multi-task, stellar game-sense, and huge macro, while facing opponents who inexplicably lose the ability to compete? It makes no sense, I tell ya, it makes no sense. | ||

Even before this series people were like "yeah kals gonna crush him, he only chokes vs Jaedong" Kal's pvz looks sloppy compared to other protoss such as Movie, Stork, Jangbi, and even Flying. His pvz is still pretty good mainly because Kal is a really good protoss, but it's his weakest mu. Can you imagine Kal's pvz micro/macro as good as Movie's. That's hard to imagine. | ||

Sure, he's struggled a little more recently, but it seems that people forget why he was such a big name. He was so good a that point that some people were talking that he might be the best zerg. | ||

I don't know if he can really threaten Flash, but as some already mentioned, he has shown S-Class ZvT before and with enough confidence (which he should have by now) he may be able to show it again. Kal would have choked in the finals anyway (breaks my heart to see him lose important games all the time). I'm very satisfied with this matchup for the finals. | ||

You know which Zerg had a similar record to Effort in ZvT? Mother Fucking  YellOwSilver 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 Thank you! | ||

While I dont know about Flying I cant really disagree with this post (although Kal used to be known for his PvZ) but that doesnt change that effort played really well. I mean game 1 and game 2 were just the most onesided rapes ever. | ||

Kal's counter attack almost won him a game he was going to have difficulty winning, it was hardly an objectively bad move. And EffOrt grabbed a BO win in Game 1. Kal played well, I think in the semi-finals of a starleague, people usually do, but EffOrt was better. | ||

Effort was only a rookie last year, so this slump is more of a mid-career bump rather than him becoming an outdated, washed-up progamer like Bisu. Bisu already had his mid-career slump in the first part of 2008. Effort still has huge potential. I'm just hating these finals. Effort is a potential beast if he returns to form, and normally I would've rooted for him, but he cheated his way into the Ro8 with that "ppp" when he was losing, so I'm hoping Flash curbstomps him.

And pausing the game only when you've lost the muta battle to try and get a regame is pretty low. | ||
