Players that have low gaps can be anybody - players currently peaking (e.g. Jaedong), players who are extremely consistent (e.g. Light), players who are on the rise for the first time (e.g. Soulkey), or usually mediocre players who are on a probably luck-based string of wins (e.g. Hydra) Players with large gaps could be players who moved to ACE, players who are slumping (e.g. BaBy), or players who are rising but nowhere near their first peaks (will talk about these). Soulkey is undoubtedly beginning his first peak. Is he "on the rise?" Definitely. Jaedong is peaking. Is he "on the rise?" I wouldn't really say so, but he is doing very well. On the other hand, BeSt is listed on the list of players with biggest gaps despite having his recent game list flooded with W's. The only reason BeSt has such a huge gap is because his first peak was much higher. Hydra and Tempest have low gaps, but their ELOs are low enough that I wouldn't even say they are peaking spectacularly. They have been doing well, no doubt, but that's just a bit better than the mediocre they usually play. Is BaBy past his peak, never to return? He's at the bottom of the list, right? I feel like Baby, however, will find his rainbow socks. How well does Bisu have to play in order to be at the top of that list? He needs to suddenly become as good as Flash, as Jaedong. Is that possible? I don't think so. Can he still be an above average player? I don't doubt it. I considered removing my T1 tag just to avoid any possible anti-fanboy retaliation for this post. But I figured I would just post and deal with any reactions. I don't find this post biased, all I am saying is you should examine closely what your statistical method actually tells you. I would suggest comparing current ELO to ELO from 2 months ago to determine who is "rising." | ||

The point of the OP was to point out that it is pointless and utterly retarded to start talking about Bisu as if he was still a "great" player. He isn't. He's merely good, a good proleaguer, a consistent starleaguer, and that's it. I wish the TL ELO counter had a way to start counting back in months, too. | ||

This entire list is a bunch of oldies except for soulkey and stats so I dunno what you're talking about =.= | ||

Imagine if instead of July, it was Kingdom who was almost good enough to beat oov, and Nal_ra was the bonjwa rather than savior. Then Jaedong managed to dethrone this bonjwa and for once the zerg would have a chance to shine, only to find that their star slumps hard, and Bisu is the consistent one who slumps for like 5 seconds after some BS runs. So the only good players end up being Yellow(silver) and inconsistent Jaedong, and after 3 years, it looks like no other star has come about, while free/best etc become consistently ownage players for a long period of time. You would think of Jaedong in the same way. Because honestly, toss never had anyone other than Stork the Silver and Bisu the slumper to represent their race as anything other than inferior. Fanboy attitude is perfectly acceptable IMO. /end rant. Well spoken. I've always thought this must be really frustrating. Even as a Zerg, I was really hoping for Movie and Snow to pick up where the Dragons left off and showcase some dominant Protoss play. Movie has sublime sair/reaver v. Z when he wants to demonstrate it, and that Snow v. Flash PL game on Fighting Spirit was absolutely sublime. But this seems to have hit a rough patch for now. | ||

Edit: When I first opened this thread I actually thought it was a thread that Bisu isn't as good-looking as people thought he is. XD That could be an excellent topic for discussion too. *snickers* | ||

I'd be more convinced that you actually think this way if you made this thread while he was still in the ro16 of both starleagues and wcg. But now it just seems like you want attention. | ||

I really do agree though, on the main point. Bisu fan though i am, he's clearly not found whatever it is he lost yet, because there's very little fire in his eyes right now, or anything remarkable in his attitude. His recent losses are getting to him too easily, and he's showing nothing so far of determination to break through. He just looks depressed. Hopefully he's on his way there though, in the long run. | ||

But a few key losses could be what it takes to snap someone out of a period of sucking. I know that almost losing to an E terran(if not for mine daebak) simply because I played bad after dropping from D+ to low D helped me realize that I needed to pull my shit together. It's probably the same for progamers(as long as they stay confident, or else it could just be a slump). | ||

 sAviOr has won the rivalry. He is a greater and more accomplished Starcraft player than  Bisu can ever be. | ||

I really hope u truly resurge Bisu but from your interviews it feels like you're not particularly hungry for another title. Flash and Jaedong want to go down as the best rivalry so they have a deep seeded desire to succeed, I just don't see that with my man Bisu... Hope u come back Bisu but I'm not holding my breath D: | ||

Had Bisu defended that hydra all-in it would have been different story. | ||

Who knows if KTY will ever get back to where he was. Chances are he probably won't. Regardless, you can't take away what he has achieved, and how important he is, and has been to the Toss race (and its supporters). So what if Bisu fans were prematurely lauding his comeback. Blind optimism/faith is exactly what being a fan is all about!!! | ||
