I hope you're referring to Kwanro and not Calm.


I love Calm, but he has yet to reach Fantasy or pre-slump BeSt levels of skill, and both of them have come so close to winning only to fall short.


I would say that this MSL yes he has. Even his stats this year are better than fantasy's. (and very comparible to Best from beginning of 2008 to right before getting 3-0ed by July).

assuming he wins this MSL, he's at least arguably the best player outside JD/bisu/flash (completely equal with effort/fantasy/stork).


Quite frankly, Stork is FAR more accomplished than either Calm or Kwanro. Silvers don't count as much as gold, but they are a serious tie-breaker. If you're talking about current form, perhaps Calm can be put in the same league - but both Effort and Fantasy are still more formidable opponents across the leagues. Beating JD when he was practicing for his golden mouse is winning in ZvZ, not in ZvJ, as opposed to Fantasy beating JD like an unwanted stepson in the SPL finals, which was... well, Fantasy beating Jaedong like an unwanted stepson.

ofc stork is more accomplished, no one would argue that. but as for current form? Calm easily contends with the top.

I guess it's not a TL article unless someone is ragging on (P)JangBi and (Z)Luxury.

(Z)Kwanro beats (T)Iris and (T)Flash...

(Z)Calm beats (Z)Jaedong and (Z)EffOrt...

... How much more "deserving" can they be?!?!

I'm happy to see Pikachu go this deep in a league, because I have a soft spot for him. But yeah this 'll probably be disappointing either way. Nice write-up as always.

Can Kwanro do the impossible and become the most "undeserving" individual league champion since Mind or Sync?


as much as i hate Mind for ruining what should have been the last Savior/Bisu finals, to even hint that he didn't deserve that win (i think his bracket was july - xellos - oov - bisu ?) is pretty innacurate, he played great in those games and really did look like a player that was going to step up and stay S class. No clue about Sync though

Memory - Oov - Savior - Bisu

And I sooooo hope Calm wins this, despite not even liking him whatsoever ... Kwanro winning would be wrong in so many ways it's ridiculous.

I'm still bitter that Kwanro beat Iris. But I still like Pikachu Zerg, and want to see him roll Calm. Even if it's unlikely to happen.
