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.
That was not my point at all. Of course he will not automatically lose if he faces Iris. My point was that he still has better chances against Kwanro then against Iris, since he practiced his ZvZ for his match against Jaedong.

I'll stick with the general rule that when teammates play, Terran > Zerg
Savior? :p
Great read though, really hoping for Iris to win today so that we can see an epic TvZ

actually, where does this come from?
Besides Iris beating Effort, I can't think of that rule showing up at all. Typeb > leta, yarnc > gogo, hero>hwasin. the only "recent" one besides iris > effort that I can think of is forgg > Jaedong and flash > hoejja (but I dont think that should count  ) :O

There was also an interview where I think it was Savior? who said in teammate battles, it favors the Terran.

most aggressive T vs most aggressive Z, sounds fucking awesome, nice write up man.

Calm has practised ONLY for the MSL. Jaedong had Proleague, OSL, MSL and WCG (which he probably didn't practise alot for). He is not on the same level as Jaedong overall. Maybe close zvz atm but not overall. That being said, I still think he is top 10 in the world atm in pure skill. Obviously he's even better than that in statistics but short time statistics doesn't equal actual skill level.
It'l be fun to see how far Calm can go in the next seasons as this probably boosts his confidence a bunch. Hoping to see him take it all home.
