I hated Shine for beating Stork in the OSL Ro8 a year ago. But then when he got into that everlasting tie-breaker with Go.Go and Effort, I grew to like him. So I'm devastated that Bisu lost, but not as much as some of the people here. Now if he beats Stork on the other hand...

Actually, the game that made me like Shine was one that he lost. Something about him getting outsmarted by Go.Go was so delicious that I felt bad for him. I mean "outsmarted" in the most literal sense, poor Shine.

Bisu probes are famous for lasting a good 5-7 minutes. His probe in game 1 was pretty amazing, even for Bisu standards. Gotta love the zealot distraction at the nat so the probe could get a kill in the main. XD

Bisu has been climbing his way back to top form, but paying attention to his proleague games showed that he wasn't there yet.

And then he played against kryptonite or something. He started off game 1 amazingly, but after he lost his corsairs he failed to compensate (I hear Archons aren't horrible against muta stacks). Seriously, he was wrecking Shine's base (killed the main entirely, if I recall) and some Mutas fly over and start killing probes. No biggie, he'll shut that down soon. *Five minutes later* "Dammit Bisu...."

Game 2 I think he was trying to be cute and all-in before Shine did, but Shine brought the pain faster. Something like preparing to beat 5 hatch hydra and 3 hatch got used instead or something like that.

Shine is kinda like Kwanro. Eventually you have to accept that it's just his style/he's playing to his strengths (aka, blows at late game). Currently if Shine hydra allins he gets called a cheesy fucker. If Kwanro 4 pools somebody (and doesn't fail), he just Kwanrolled them.

Or in a flashback to the EVER 2009 OSL, Stork meets Shine yet again in the Ro8 only to lose 2-1 and trigger more rage.

Wow...this OSL really does have that eerie deja vu feeling...

EDIT: Bleh apparently, Movie was already out. :[

In Afrotoss we trust!

Stork'll just go get another Silver. Protoss fans want a Gold, baby!

Shine knows he's a scrub :D. But props to him nonetheless for 2-0ing the best Protoss player in the world.

Bisu made some very questionable decisions in both games.

In the second game, I think he was getting overconfident with his goon micro, and just refused to build cannons. Then Shine just ling-raped bisu's goons...

Bisu is simply cursed with the OSL... After I saw that he will be playing Shine I smelled an upset. Though I thought maybe Bisu will sneak into ro16 given his really good performance in PL.

If Bisu wins the MSL all will be forgotten as he will set the all time MSL championships record. Savior lost in the OSL Prelims during his glory years, so Ro36 isn't that horrible.

According to the DES version, Shine practiced with Perfectman to crush Bisu too.

It's bisu's huge mistake to cost him the game, he SHOULD have won definitely in game1 , I don't know how you can lose even to a muta all in with 2 bases and 6 gates(2 of which @ the expansion were defended by cannons).

Second set... I dont know why he didnt just make cannons and try something else after somewhat defending the very first encounter, hydra ling >>>> goons, everyone knows that

that wasn't an all-in, that was "lets see what these mutas do since his sairs are dead" into kill every probe ever

hydras, more hydras... !! ^^

I can relate to Shine so much lol, in the one season I played on Iccup I was D- 4-16 as Terran. Switched to Zerg and made it back to D and 1:1 win ratio with mass Hydras rofl.

As a tribute to Shine that day, I proceeded to do a 3 base Hatch before Lair -> Mass roach + some hydra (sc2 hydras blow tho ><) in some SC2 team game with my friend. He doesn't watch BW so he kept bitching that it was an awful play etc so he did some terrible 11 nexus build which was pretty hilarious. /rant (it's okay, we won, I was screaming EE HAN TIMING HYDRA and A moving to victory)

That said, shame to see Bisu out, many people have pointed out that he made pretty big mistakes in that series which cost him dearly, especially the one where he lost his Corsairs ><. I too wanted to see Bisu vs big names in the later rounds, but the day's loss was no one's fault but his.

I hope this spurs him on to do something in MSL. And props to Perfectman for practising with Shine.

Hoping for a good performance from Stork and Afrostyle for Protoss' sake!

Also, lots of mediocre Zergs this time round, is Pathfinder that bad? :/
