I just hope that short break isn't like just a few months. It'll be great to see Bisu playing BW again, and from FPVIEW! OMG!

He seems to be in better form than Jangbi atm, judging solely from the game where Bisu pretty much humiliated Larva in that one game on Larva's stream.

I mean it's just 1 game in 1 matchup, but it's kinda important to be good at PvZ atm. Jangbi has been kinda out of form in that department.

If anyone remembers those times that they have flashed up Bisu's FPView briefly in official games, and marvelled at how good his multi-task is, imagine that hours on end. We are going to get migraines from watching his stream :D

So hyped for this, migraine toss gogo! :D


My experience in watching Bisu's FPVODs is similar to my experience when I played Quake 3. At first, I couldn't stand more than 3 minutes of it. I had no idea what the fuck was going on, it was headache-inducing, and it seemed almost inhuman to play at a decent level, let alone a professional level. Afterwards, I got used to the game and then enjoyed it. Later on, when I got better, I realized just how amazing the little things are: from memorizing the ramp/portal positions (similar to rally points for probes and units) so you can jump into them without looking at them, to the small strafe moves that can make or break your game (probably like Bisu's small unit micro with goons and lots), to the absolutely flashy plays with rails and rockets (like Bisu's harass with reavers/HTs).

Bisu's FPVOD is the cleanest of all the "inhuman mechanics" monsters I've seen (i.e. Jaedong, Baby, Jangbi, Kal, Effort, Hydra, Leta) and is probably the second most impressive to watch behind Flash's FPVOD (the kid is just so efficient at playing it's mind boggling - I think his EAPM from the replays of his prime is just as high as Bisu's, around 250, even if Bisu's APM is 100 higher at 350 vs 450).


Bisu's apm is on average low 300's most games, I think he only gets to 400 average on really really intense games, in his early/mid career, by his late career he and Flash are pretty much the same speed APMwise (Flash is actually faster when playing bio). He gets a reputation for being really really fast, but he's actually not. I mean his APM is up there, but it's actually lower than some other protosses (eg Jangbi, who's between 350-400). It's really the rate that he switches from 1 place on the map to another that sets him apart. He only does like 1 or 2 things in 1 place before switching again, so it's really hard to keep up with what his doing, but his handspeed is not superdooper fast like people seem to think it is.

If I were to take a guess, Flash and Bisu actually have similar EAPMs as well, which I guess is impressive in itself, as P's generally have lower EAPMs since there are few things to do that require pure handspeed, whereas T has stuff to do en mass that requires mechanical 'unthinking' clicking, eg placing a large minefield or keeping a large number of raxes running.


I don't even know where you got that low 300s number. In PvZ he goes up to 450. In PvT 400. In PvP 380+.


http://www.teamliquid.net/replay/index.php?player1=bisu&team1_race=&map=&description=&uploader=&player2=&team2_race=&search=1

TL has a nifty database of replays, since progamers didn't leak replays much these are pretty much all you have to work with.

Watch out though, a couple of the replays in that are not actually of him (i guess the uploaders were pulling a jumperer on us). But most of them are him, any of the ones with the alias ssregi are Bisu.


Ah yeah those replays. Hm well do they use the same formula as the ones OGN/MBC posted? Because as far as I recall, every Bisu game had very high APM numbers when they flashed it on-screen.


Bisu did not have 450 sustained APM in any matchup. He has a pretty stable ~330 APM in televised games, respectably fast for a Protoss progamer, but mostly notable for how clean and effective his actions were. Bisu's speed wasn't reflected in numbers so much, you just had to see it -- Stork is noted* for thinking the speed at which Bisu played is unbelievable and that he wished he could play so fast, despite being a ~300 APM player himself. Stork's reaction to seeing Bisu play isn't the reaction of just seeing 10% more actions.

*The thought of trying to source this quote is extremely daunting and not something that is going to happen, sorry. ;_;

and bisu speed its about how many camera actions can he do in the same time.for example bisu vs flash ace match proleague finals >.>


That's what he was saying


Fastest players are always zerg players because of ZvZ training.
Jangbi earlier today on stream was talking about hero's apm while obsing him, going to 500 -600 non stop.

I don't know what everyone's so happy about exactly, do you really want someone you respect and perhaps idolize to be out of a job with everything completely up in the air? Why celebrate what is probably a very difficult part of someone's life, given that Bisu's probably tried really hard for the past year to transition? Seems like a form of extreme self indulgence to me, but hey that's what fans do right so who am I to rain on your parade. I would be wishing that Bisu went to a more stable career and did what ever he wanted to on the side for recreation, if it's BW then hey free entertainment for his previous fans, if it's not I still support him on what ever he chooses to do.

We're happy that he might go back to playing a game he loves instead. And that we might get to see him stream BW. Not really rocket science. I'd rather he did something he enjoyed doing than something he didn't but got paid well and stably in.

Having financial security is nice, but lets face it, Bisu has been pretty well paid in the BW portion of his career, he is probably financially stable for the time being, and the SC2 train isn't going to keep chugging along forever. Having a stable pay package is great, but being able to pursue your dreams? Even if just for a while before going to the military.

He willingly quit his job; he was not fired. There's nothing bad or sad about quitting doing something that you do not enjoy. Now he can pursue doing other things that makes him happy. I guess he needs to get his military duty over with first, but he would need to do that anyways sooner or later.

His passion was for BW and they killed it. Force-fed him this bullshit of a game. Think of it as MJ playing baseball when we all know that basketball was his passion.

Tell me, if Flash was in Bisu's shoes, what would you feel if Flash retired?

This is another indicator that dustin browder and co are completelly incompetent if you ask me. I wonder if they have an idea what was Starcraft before they started to make sc2, cuz saying "Starcraft is all about controlling big armies" is just ignorant and seeing his job done so far, maybe he really think this is all about starcraft.

Ive been saying since the "new begining" that this is the begining of the end for korean Starcraft. Scene which paved the way to esports, so pure and sacred that its a shame Blizzard fell so low to destroy it. There were always people who said to me, "this is not the truth, youre just hater" or "fanboy" but where is the truth when legandary players feel uncomfortable with the game, and they keep on retiring? Not to mention its low popullarity in korea.
Its really sad, for all the fans, but its much more for the progamers. I hope bisu and others, dont take it too hard and reamain strong enough to move on. Good luck and have fun, BW is waiting for you Bisu!
Luv ya BroodWar!

Damn, I always knew this day would come and now that it has I don't know what to think. Bisu has always been my favourite player and he's the one who brought me into SC progaming, I sincerely wish him nothing but the best for the future and I hope he finds happiness after his military service.

If his short break is anything like Best's then I hope, for my sake, he can participate one last time in BW. Even if it's just one short SRT to give me closure so that we can both move on with our lives from SC.

since he won't be in the media anymore, no new pictures of Bisu

I initially wrote a 3 page reply but it went too off topic. Generally I think that it's too self indulgent and selfish for fans to assume that progamers who started their careers at 14-18 had the capacity and assets to make life long decisions regarding their education, career paths, and personal outlooks and responsibilities in life. It's also delusional to think that any hobby or sport should always be popular, especially with a mainstream audience. There are many problems with the esports industry right now which are common with the vices of the entertainment industry, namely that there isn't any "way out" or plan being offered to retiring progamers at all, and not enough attention is given to the personal development of progamers/athletes outside of their one technical field.

There is something futile in the effort to debate fans on a website dedicated to fandom around the specific industry I'm forced to be skeptical of, but right now in terms of making rational responsible decisions esports is still not a field that I would ever recommend to anyone to participate in. Bisu is one of those players who's enjoyed success and shows genuine passion so it's an easy sell for a feel good story, but I don't agree with the attitude of some of the response here. That's all.
