This MSL is Iris'. He's practically broken his own curse by finally being in a ridiculously epic bo5 in which he actually won. We had Iris vs Savior and Iris vs GGPlay before, wherein he was on the losing end. Nothing can erase that series vs Bisu though. We can only hope that he brings us two more amazing TvZ bo5s to follow that up. This has been one of the more exciting MSLs in recent memory, and it would be amazing if it stayed that way.

What? Are we watching the same Starcraft? I've always seen Calm as a top Zerg and when he was in his prime he was raping nerds left and right. Probably the best ZvT EVER.

Calm could be better than those players. I didn't say he was. Are you saying there's 0 chance that he's better than them?

royal road is for OSL only I think, but still no. He's been in the Ro32 of the MSL twice before i think.

Fanboys don't like it when you question their favorite player(s) lol. While I'm really disappointed he dismantled LJD so thoroughly, I'm pumped to see Calm play this through.

(Z)Calm, (Z)Kwanro and (T)Iris. Who would have thought it would come down to these three players? Regardless of who will win in the end, it is still hard to imagine any of the three holding up an MSL trophy. Yet, that is the reality we will face in the end.

Calm`s chances of becoming a Royal Roader entirely depend on who wins in the (T)Iris vs. (Z)Kwanro match. If Kwanro wins, then Calm will be a strong favourite to take the title since he can ride the momentum of beating Jaedong. However, if Iris wins, then it will be Iris who will hold the momentum coming off from a successful TvZ series. Plus, Iris has historically done well in TvZ (although it is not his best matchup).

However, I agree that if Iris wants to win a StarLeague, he has to do it now or he might never get it.

Although not entirely applicable to predicting a Iris-Calm series since it's over half a year old, Calm handedly won last time they met.

Half a year ago, Iris arguably was not as good as he is now. As such, I would not consider that game to be indicative of anything.

You have to realize that despite dismantling Effort and JD to get here, Calm's best matchup is arguably ZvT. I guess we can make an argument for it being ZvZ after this MSL run, but he has been strong in ZvT for a very long time. At the very least it wont' be his weak matchup, so to say that if he has to face a T he'll lose is ridiculous.

I guess we'll see how Calm plays vs Zerg when he doesn't have a lot of time to prepare for it (like he did vs Effort and JD) tonight when he plays vs Luxury in WCG. I think if he shows the same dominance an argument could be made that he turned his worst MU into his best one over this MSL.

Hoping Calm wins it, I like him better than EffOrt and am hoping he is the next big zerg over him.

I would be pretty happy if either Calm or Iris won, but even though Calm is on STX, I think I'd be a little happier to see Iris win. He's been so close before. I'd feel really bad for him if he got this close again and couldn't pull it out.
