At the moment, Kal is the only P who can take a game off of Flash in a Best of series. He's an incredibly smart player who seems to be the only person have any chance at all of taking a game off Flash. | ||

And it would be a good OSL final too; Calm vs. Flash was an incredibly high-level match and I'd expect Flash vs Kal to be equally high level.

He's an incredibly smart player who seems to be the only person have any chance at all of taking a game off Flash. Kal is good, but i sorta lol'd at kal being the only P who can take a game off flash. kal is 1-5 flash with the 1 game being a dt rush where flash skips turrets last summer. flash is just so clutch, i dont think kal can take a single game off flash. imo zero has the best chance, but the problem is whether he'll make it or whether his zvz will fail him | ||

I hope he will win though. I think once he will pass baby nothing can stop him. I am only afraid for Flash this time because weird things can happen in bo3... But I can't imagine anyone winning 3 games against Flash on one day... | ||

You've missed the poll option that describes my watching habits: I read the TL coverage after I have watched the VODs to gain insight into the games from the knowledgeable (if opinionated!) TL staff. I enjoy the new ratings, it is interesting to compare with my opinions of the games. | ||

If you've looked at the games they're long and Kal has made decisions that put him in reach of victory, but as you said, Flash is Flash. I think it's a testament to how good Kal is because he keeps getting matched against Flash. What other P's would you consider? Movie maybe. He did take one game off of Flash in the OSL finals. Stork? Perhaps. Jangbi and Bisu? If they ever got their respective acts together. Free and Best round out the last of the six dragons, but I never had much faith in Free as a player. I'm as much of an SK fanboy as the next, but Fantasy stands a much better chance than Best or Bisu. All the other P's out there stand about as good of a chance as a next, and they're only stealing a game by cheesing. | ||

I mean everyone else, even Bisu or Best or Kal, at their best don't really measure up to this version of Flash. Stork and Jaedong are the only players I've seen honest to goodness beat him in a manner where I thought they could truly be considered the better player (And, actually, Leta and Skyhigh did this but my faith in Flash's TvT will never waver. 22-0). | ||

Yea, consider the number of players who could take an off-form Flash in their peak. Stork, Bisu, Jaedong, Effort, Leta, Calm, mayyybbbee Leta/Zero. Who's still in the OSL? Zero and Effort, and they're not even close to in form. And one eliminates the other next week. But such is the OSL curse. | ||

Think of the game where he had a lot of carriers and like half of the map against Flash with 3 or 4 bases and Kal just flew his carriers around without doing anyting while Flash sieged all of his bases and just won | ||
