@Avid

THE BEST SEED POSSIBLE? LMAO. He didn't even make it out of the round of 32. The champion picked a group he couldnt get out of! What does that tell you about the caliber of players that make it starleagues. EVERY player in a starleague is a fantastic player and capable of beating any other player if the game goes their way.

Or did you forget that Bisu didnt even advance?

Kinda makes your point look pretty silly doesn't it.



Hmm, Savior, Zero, MagMa +Bisu, or Hwasin, Flash, FBH and JD. Don't argue that the first group is harder overall just because Bisu couldn't make it out of it. No one said 'this group is hard for Bisu' ; just look at the liquibet. This is not some irrational hate people have, their ire for Bisu is well founded. The maps incident as well. We are not discussing the outcomes of the groups, sure he probably wouldn't of posted the blog if JD advanced (though I do not know), that doesn't change Bisu's attitude or what he did.
What about the precedent part that you never responded to?
P.S. Don't cuss and act condescending toward others-he supported his argument with facts while you just cussed him out and post "Kinda makes your point look pretty silly doesn't it." and stuff like that.

You could look at it another way as well.

Maybe he was ensuring that at least two fan favorites made it through !

I mean if those players were all in different groups it is certainly possible that they could all fail.

I don't really believe that but I hope you at least see the point it raises.


It's not like any group in a starleague is actually "easy".

I think Bisu has displayed some amount of poor sportsmanship but this incident is not a prime example.
Your making an unfair simplification. Of course there are no "easy" groups per say, but there are easier groups and harder groups. To deny the existence of easier and harder groups is to deny that there is a skill different between progamers. The fact remains that at face value that group seemed like the easiest group for bisu to advance out of. The fact that he didnt, and the reasons why he didnt, are up for debate.

Bisu was smart, progaming is about winning not being kind to everyone. Bisu put the people he stands the biggest chance of losing in a group so hopefuly 1 or 2 would get knocked out. What do you expect Bisu to do?

"Ok, I really want that money but I want to be fair and increase my chance of getting knocked out early.. so let's do this. Flash, Jaedong, Stork you're all in my group"

Also are you angry because a Bisu stacked the group or because Jaedong got knocked out? Had Bisu put himself in the group and had say FBH somewhere else there's a good chance Jaedong would've still been knocked out. The competition is so close in progaming that the odds were against Jaedong from the start. Bisu pushed the odds in his favor because he had the opportunity. Do you think Jaedong would've done anything different? Or Flash? Bisu's logic was sound, stop bitching, sure it sucks Jaedong is out, it's a treat to watch him play but so what. I'm sure this MSL will be fine just the same.

Also, I don't like the fact that Bisu bitched about maps but Harmony is really really hard to play PvZ on so i understand why he was irked.

Yes; arena MSL
Group A
Jaedong vs Bisu
Hwasin vs Frozean
(Hwasin and Jaedong advanced btw)
Jaedong DID do it differently when he had the opportunity to switch bisu out
Also, I don't like the fact that Bisu bitched about maps but Harmony is really really hard to play PvZ on so i understand why he was irked.
Well it's his own damn fault, he didn't have to play savior on that map

i don't know how much a fraternity the progamers are and how much respect top players give to the group selection, but to me trying to eliminate your foes by putting them in hard groups is a right you've earned from winning (or placing high) in the previous MSL. that's your privilege. what's so bad about bisu exercising his rights? i mean, sure it might look lame, but it's a sport, and bad matchups always happen early in playoff brackets because of seeding or other circumstances. it's just a fact of sports. are we supposed to expect a player who is looking out for his own self interest to simply be nice? sure, it doesn't make Bisu a nice guy but the level of hate dished out in the OP is over the top.

edit: also, we wouldn't be having this conversation if Jaedong simply beat Hwasin. two players advanced from group F and arguably the "weakest" Hwasin went 2-0. just like in Bisu's group, where the "weakest" savior went 2-0, funky things happen in progaming. as if a Flash Stork Jaedong Bisu group would've been better? two of those players would've been eliminated as well.

The fact remains that at face value that group seemed like the easiest group for bisu to advance out of. The fact that he didnt, and the reasons why he didnt, are up for debate.

I never denied the fact that some groups are harder than others, and I see no problem with this unavoidable fact of broodwar. It adds flavor.

And the fact that Bisu's group seemed the easiest and yet he still lost shows that people shouldn't make assumptions on bisu's character based of the groups. Especially when those assumptions(not only the ones made against bisu, but also the ones made by bisu himself) are proved totally wrong by the results.

In fact I could argue that bisu made the MSL better for a lot of people. Especially bisu haters like the op who instead of bitching about the groups he made should be reveling in the sweet sweet justice of him being thrown out of the "easy" group he made.

Or Hwasin fans. Hwasin fans are on Cloud 9 right now. Flash fans are very happy too. Flash's only real weaknesses recently(for the most part) have been jaedong and bisu. They are both out. And you KNOW savior fans are thrilled as well, watching savior crush his arch rival and cruise out of the group. It's all a matter of the players one supports.

Even if Flash manages to get by Leta, he will eventually have to play against Lux.

Flash still loses majority of the time against Lux even in practice games.

Not to mention, even when Lux gets down, Flash will eventually have to play Yarnc or Savior. And Flash said "Yarnc is better than Lux"

Shits going to be fucking tough.

Well Flash won't have to if Lux fails to advance

And ya I guess every game is a challenge lol.

But that brings me back to my original point. There is no such thing as an easy starleague. Everyone is rediculously good.


And real quick to avidstamper:

I only cussed at the rediculous comment he made about what Bisu did being the same as what Hwasin and Calm did when they clearly aren't. The other comments are simply to give rise to passionate debate which I feel I was quite successful at Not to mention the op set the tone with personal attacks against Bisu(even though he'll never read them).

The precedent part? I'm not sure at all that's really true. Or that it can even be proven because its too subjective . There have been a SHITLOAD of starleague group selections. Keep that in mind.

I think it's funny that everyone is jumping on Bisu for doing something like this when only a few years ago everyone was mad at Midas for intentionally picking Savior and getting himself knocked out (basically the opposite of what Bisu did)

MrHoon you have whined about this in about 10000 posts (and reiterated your poiints in your cartoons), I think people know what you have to say by now

Both MSL and OSL should seed people into groups/tournaments based on their Kespa rankings, problem solved and we avoid stupid shit like s-class players in offline qualifiers, or Flash/Jaedong in the same group in stead of in a semi.

I suggest you direct your energy towards such a solution in stead of blaming Bisu, because you won't be able to blame him the next MSL group selection.

People mention Tennis, how funny is that, its not going to happen there for obvious reasons. And what the hell do you think a player like Roddick would do to a group selection phase for instance? Consider that for a moment :p

Some sports take it too far, like Snooker where new players struggle perhaps a bit too hard.

Bisu just pointed out the obvious flaws in the system.
