Post Tv-ing OSL, we've now seen everything that the best BW players can offer us (sorry weird Proleague). So let's assume the following scenario:

The year is 2015.

There are no professional BW players left on the Earth.

Aliens from outerspace come and challenge the people Earth to a BW match to decide the fate of the world. 6 players must be chosen. They will be beamed aboard the alien ship and have 1 week to practice with each other before they play the intergalactic match.

The match is a BO7 Proleague-style match. 3 of the maps will be randomly picked from any OSL/MSL/Proleague mappool and another 3 will be completely new (assume the 3 new maps are relatively balanced and not completely outlandish). The Ace match is a random map (could be alien or from Kespa). The Alien team will have 2 players of each race. The line-up order is not pre-determined.

Who are your 6 players that you send to defend the Earth, and who do you send out for the Ace match?

My picks:
+ Show Spoiler +

Flash - ace
Fantasy
Bisu
Stork
Jaedong
Zero

Even though JangBi is the last OSL winner and currently better than Stork, I'd still pick Stork over JangBi. Stork has an ability to turn it on when he actually wants to try hard. His longevity in the scene is a testament to that.

Well I'd definitely send out Horang2 first to run some ridiculous cheese while having a giant smile on his face the entire time. He has a good chance of winning and, at the very least, would confuse the aliens and get them off their game.

Gotta get Effort in there somewhere obviously. He's really good but more importantly, he might score us some sympathy. That's assuming he doesn't betray us and join the alien team.

And then just Flash/Bisu/Jaedong/Fantasy because they're super straight up really damn good.

Personally I'd take Jaedong as the ace over Flash because when defending the Earth, I think I'd prioritize having the most metallic balls known to humankind over absolute skill.

There are many people who have been fans of BW on a different level as compared to you as you can see

(I didn't understand the joke too until they reminded me haha)

It says Proleague style, smart one. Last time I checked, Bisu still held the record for most wins in one Proleague season, and currently has the best BW record in PL.

So yeah, I would.

nah, Bisu would choke against a player of equal skill, unless (1) he knows he'll be sniping that player on a particular map beforehand, and (2) that player doesn't know (s?)he'll be playing Bisu.
