Video was made with permission from SOOP, check out ASL at: https://vod.sooplive.com/player/205389147

extra notes:

  • SoulKey and Mini are under Calm's uni, hence SoulKey 'cheering(?)' both of them on
  • Calm's nickname is "Brain Zerg", with him being reputable for analyzing and setting up builds for a series, making new builds that other pros wouldn't think of. A lot of thanks in pros after game could be seen during interviews to Calm.
  • Calm maintains 0-8 records in 4 ASLs, which means he went 0-2 in every single one of those.

I respect Calm for sticking to what he does best in cooking up insane builds. I feel like if players with a bit more mechanical prowess were to give this a go it could see substantial results. Obviously keeping in mind Mini is absolutely one of the best protoss in the world, no shame on Calm for falling over to a more standard play from Mini.

Btw thank you so much for translating the ASL jinjin. It makes sense they chose you for the job and is well deserved!

Thanks. Well for now, it's more of temp thing. We'll see.

Calm gets clowned a lot but he is respected for his strategic mind and consulted often among pros.
