Default Question about battery and ESC matching

I posted this in the Electric forum, but they do not seem to get the traffic that is over here, so maybe one of you guys knows that answer to my question.

So I am trying to learn all about electric flight. I have been flying glow for a little while and I want to get into electric park flyers.

I am looking at getting a Parkzone T-28 Trojan PNP and I am trying to figure out what battery to get to put in it. I am looking at a 2200mah 3S1P 11.1V 15C battery for it. Now, I know that to get the discharge amps you take 15*2.2, which is 33Amps. The ESC that comes with the T-28 is a 25Amp ESC. Does this mean that the battery could blow out the ESC or does that mean that it is a good battery for the plane?

If there is a chance of blowing the ESC with this battery, would the fix be replacing the ESC with a higher rated one? Or should I keep shopping for batteries?

Any help you can give I would appreciate, I am just trying to figure all this electric stuff out. Thank you.
