In mirror matchup?

I assume he is joking. If you dont get it, read the news page.

But on a serious note, positional imbalances could affect the outcome. We all know there are no 3 or 4 player maps that are perfectly positionally balanced.

JangBi is pretty much a lamer version of Stork, therefore I hate him.

Or maybe he thinks JangBi and Kal's styles are significantly different and one map could help Kal more because he's better with reavers or something and another could favor storm drops or cannon rushes and maybe JangBi is better at those or something. I don't really know what they're styles are like that well and if maps will matter I'm just dreaming up reasons for what he said.

the kal v jangbi poll feels like voting for either balance or unbalance. I guess I like balance.

The last time these two met JangBi was a one match-up wonder who had only beaten two other Protoss players: BackHo and GuemChi. Kal was on the rise with two great match-ups and an improving PvP repertoire.

Since then, JangBi however has grown into veritable powerhouse, with a 65+% win rate in each match-up since the MSL semi-final. Kal? He's stagnated, barely managing to win half his games.

Kal's ELO peak came right after his last games vs. JangBi - GOM Season 4 was his peak. JangBi's peak? Right now. Kal is the "creative" player that is liked despite unimpressive results. JangBi is the mechanically strong player, with nothing that stands out about him, he's just good all around.

Everything about it screams a JangBi walkover in my opinion.

basically this series will be kal throwing goofy ass builds at jangbi with heavy harass.

if jangbi holds it off he will crush kal. Kal can't keep up with jangbi's macro or big army control.



also lets hope kal doesnt get any "brilliant" ideas like a 14 nex again lol.

I actually like both these guys but they will get romped by Bisu/free anyway. (GO FREE)

I can't say I'm overly excited about this semifinal, but as a player, Kal excites me a whole lot more than Jangbi does - therefor my vote has to go to him.

Gogo super-harass-protoss!

the games are too tough to predict.. both players are amazingly good, will come down to luck and how each player is feeling on the particular day. I also felt that kal vs stork was 50-50, although in normal circumstances I think it'd be more like 45-55, if stork had more time to practice for it.

Kal is such an aggressive and imperfect little creature. The kid's got flair and style, much like bisu minus the intuition. I would hate to have him lose to stork Jr, very few protoss can play the way he can.
His pvp is completely fucked up beyond reasonable analysis, which makes it all the more entertaining. Mechanically, he's on par with Jangbi maybe a little worse macro, but he's got the multitasking to match for it, much in the same way he managed to beat him 2 seasons ago with brutal harass and timing attacks.

Kal 3-1.

othello for instances, 10'o clock > 2'o clock because of reaver drop you cant see it well you can but the drop on the min line is much faster.
