Oh wow, what? Please reconsider effort. I can understand his frustration with Bisu getting special treatment but this could have been handled in better ways.

Also, I've played BW on both xp and 7, never noticed a difference but I'm not playing anywhere near their level.

What the hell is hunters? I'm not that knowledgeable about bw but thought I knew the names of all the units at the very least.

Sounds bad for Effort, hope this stuff blows over.


Also everybody played Hunters because when you scrolled down to find a big map it was the last of the list. That's why it's popular too

Bisu will always get special treatment because of his looks. He's so handsome you can't even be jealous. You just have to appreciate it.

Are you bisexual? 'Cause I'm looking at Bisu and I'm not feeling it. So maybe bisexuality is what I'm missing.

Wtf at people saying its good to have drama. It actually sucks that one of the best zerg players won't be playing and produces less 'drama' because a candidate to win the tournament is no longer in contention. I hope Effort and OGN can reconcile what seems like a fairly petty concern.

Yep, some people just want high quality matches while others prefer low quality entertainment.

wait, so officially he has not dropped out of the tournament?

Thanks for snipealot for reviewing the articles -- Effort's fate is basically undecided.

The first Esports article was more of a "reporting what the reporter read from the internet" story, the second was a formal apology from Kongdoo, who represents both Effort and Bisu, stating that it's a misunderstanding and things are still be worked out.

Revised the thread name to be less alarming

I'm Zero's ZvT practice partner(probably not the first main partner), and I've sensed zero's muta micro and game flow were extremely good. I also believe myself that Zero uses Win 7. When we were practicing, he was on full screen mode.
His muta micro was very good.


I also played many games with HyuK on ladder, and his muta is more aggressive than Zero's.
Both has a strong muta micro on Win 7 from my PoV.
According to Beast, he said that as long as you adjust Win 7, microing is about the same.


I think Effort was drunk and said random stuff that was coming to his mind.

Thanks for the info. Good to know that other zerg progamers don't seem to have any issues with Win 7.

Maybe you do have to be bisexual...pretty sure I'm straight and think Effort is hotter. He just has this aggressive killer look about him...then again I'm all about zerg so that might be what I look for in guys

Bisu is probably the most generically handsome starcraft progamer. Reach is more manly and herO / midas is cuter but that's about it.

Personally speaking, I think Pro.NT_JuNiTosS was probably the most generically handsome progamer, although it has to be said that out of the successful gamers out there, Bisu probably does top the list.
