I think its obvious. Effort was deep into matchmaking losing for money like his mentor but now you cant do that anymore. So only thing that left is to own ppl and win money the old fashon way = beat Flash in a OSL.final

Nah his mouse was broken so he started slumping, then finally replaced it during OSL tiebreakers.

I watched all the games live last night and honestly I thought the series went the way it did simply because Effort's in-form ZvP is completely godlike. He seriously makes the matchup look totally imbalanced.

Not so much Kal's fault here.

LOL! I saw the games earlier today - man was Effort good. Poor Kal trying to keep up but Effort was just beastly. Especially in set 3. After the huge battle he just picked himself up, got four bases up and running and got ready to roll Kal.

Sorry about Kal though. Always liked the guy. . . The same way I like Stork.

I think EffOrt is the best. Hopefully he can win vs Flash. Would be truly amazing.

I'm going to have to agree with this.

I don't know what Kal could have really done.

Maybe cause it IS imbalanced? D:. There seems to be this skill ceiling in PvZ that isn't there for ZvP. No matter how good P is, Z always can be better

Guys what the hell are you talking about. Did you even watched the games.... Kal played horrible all 3 games. First game was a coinflip but 2nd and 3rd game Kal just played like a noob. Havent seen that new strategy heatbutting every scourge he saw with his sairs.

Yes Effort played his A game but that was Kal worst play ive ever seen in a while.

I don't know if I would call it noob play but I agree Kal was playing poorly, especially in game 2. He invested a lot of money in sairs, so he was low on gas for templars, but then he lost quite a few to scourge. This gave effort the opportunity for Effort to fly in and snipe ~4 HT, so he wasn't able to hold off the huge hydra rally into his natural. Also ~1/3 of Kal's dragoons were freaking out during the last fight and walking up and down the side near 3 o clock. Game 3 was closer but Kal again made some dumb moves like dropping 2 reavers outside of his cannons when Effort countered his natural, so they were immediately sniped.

If Kal had been more conservative with his sairs and played a more economy style this series, I think it would have been a lot closer.

Kal played like a noob because EffOrt kept sniping his High Templars. Anyway, his loss in the first game threw him off so much. Damn, I thought we would all see the same Kal that dismantled JD some time ago.

This (or rather this 2). I don't like how people are saying Kal disappointed his fans or saying how he failed. Effort is good. He played extremely well. Give some credit to Effort. He was owning it up rather than Kal playing poorly.

Hopefully the rest of Effort's matchups are as in-form as his ZvP so he can give flash a good series.

Hoping for a 3-2 series with Effort winning but KT fans will think otherwise.

I don't think Flash's chances of beating Jaedong go up at all (if not his chances go down) because of this.

This means that Jaedong gets to sit back and watch Flash try his interesting strats and see how his TvZ is atm, which we haven't seen much of recently. Jaedong is the master of pratice and if he gets something to work with he will have a huge advantage. It's not like Flash can make up dozens of cool strats either.

If given the choice I have no doubt JD would rather have Flash do this since he would get in his TvZ pratice regardless and he could save his best strats against zerg for JD if he didn't have to use them against effort (depending on how well effort plays).
