KangMin comes back, Bisu is stepping aside.

maybe:

1.) Players and coaches have watched so many of his games that hes easy to predict - obviously his opponents study his playing style before playing him, but just because he is so skilled, he is watched by them not only in preparation for matches, so they know his style more.

2.) If you are playing Bisu, you will prepare more than if you are playing some no-name player.

3.) TvP seems to favor T in a lot of ways - watching Flash play the mu, it looks like small T army > small P army, medium T army > medium P army, large T army > large P army, and PvT cheeses are so hard on many maps, ex. Match Point (flash's cc block), ramp blocks, and maps with four starting locations, which it is impossible to cheese on. Terrans get better and better at stopping arbiters, fighting carriers, and sniping templars, while it is virtually impossible for protoss to improve their use of these units, from the point it is already at. Also, terran players abuse terrain more and more, and it is easier to scout and to cheese for them(due to ramp blocks).

4.) I don't see how professional protoss players can improve their PvT much in practices, there are simply many more things that terran professional players can do to improve, such as mine placement, turret placement, and timing of when units move out, and what unit combos and timings to abuse, but for protoss there are far less of these things to work on - not that there aren't many, but I feel like there is just a lot more for terran to work on.

5.) Protoss strategies are far simpler to counter - for terran, tiny differences in unit numbers and placement can completely change their effectiveness, but for protoss, terran only has to worry about relative timings and relative unit combos, because in late game, for example, four extra tanks and a few less vultures changes the terran armies effectiveness far more than four extra dragoons and a few less zealots.

6.) Scouting is much harder for protoss, observers have to dodge turrets, and when you scout, you have to look for factory timings, and the timing of the upgrades, the units he builds, and when he stalls unit production matters, but terran can scout more easily by scanning, and all you have to worry about when determining how to counter the protoss is what buildings he has, when he gets them, and how many there are.

- To sum all this up, it seems that for protoss to win a game, given everything I have said already, I feel like they must be lucky in some way, or use shuttles, because otherwise terran can win.

He's probably just sad that he'll never be bonjwa because he picked the hardest race (on pro level)

I mean, think about what he coulda done with zerg or terran...

Are you kidding me? The top P's have been MURDERING the top T's for a long time (and for most of history).

Only Flash is an exception to all rules. TvP is the hardest matchup in the game, secretly even worse than PvZ, only no one cares when Terran is at the disadvantage, and because Flash makes it look easy.

Nothing at all. He used to be Terran and he switched to the easy race.

Hey, at least he gets the title of the greatest Protoss of all time.
