for the first couple of months when you're fresh and doing training then obviously you can't play, but after that you can - but as people have said, you can't stream nor can you make any sort of money during this time.

edit: his official discharge date is the 10th of august, so mark that on your calendars

I honestly think the time off is great for pro-gamers like Bisu, JD, and Flash. The wear and tear and strain on their hands and wrists is bad. The break is an opportunity to rest without people thinking you are washed up or retired. I also think they are reaching an age where you win more with your head then raw mechanics. I've certainly gotten better in my thirties because life has helped me develop a healthy brain for logic and understanding. It will be great to see how this helps Bisu.

The killing part is at 50 seconds, where Larva says, "If this is the Bisu I know, a dark templar already left towards the 6 o'clock base."

And ten seconds later a dark templar is slaying drones there.

I think there's still a place for the old legends, but they're just less consistent now. JD has fallen the hardest. It feels bad watching him burn out and get killed early on in these tournaments. Yet when I watch his FPVODs it's clear he still has the killer instinct and is a genius at predicting his opponents, he just suffers late game and his APM slips heavily. Flash skipped ASL7 to rest, which is probably going to help significantly for 8. Bisu was doing well before he left for the army, he surprisingly lost to Sea and Shine in ASL2 and 3, but he was consistently in the top 4. The progamers still have really robust tournament mindsets and don't get as nervous offline. The new era SC2-to-BW pros which have won the last four premiers (Last, Rain, SK), despite their exceptional mechanics, have fallen apart in series play versus the legends in spectacular fashion before (thinking JD 4-0 Rain specifically, or Last vs Flash on numerous occasions). I think they just have two separate ways of looking at the game and preparing for matches, and the new guys have been getting the best of it lately as the legends continue to fatigue. I just hope Bisu kills it when he gets back and doesn't stall out like Zero.

Nice, nice, he seems to still possess his old vZ flair. I am always well disposed towards any player that comes and offers us the plebs some good spectacle. But Bisu is special in the sense that his grace and precision is irreplaceable. I am eagerly awaiting his stream.

I'd say he left too early, but atleast it means he's back soon now rather than us having to wait even longer!

Larva also states in one of the other videos, something along the lines of, "vs Protoss if I get even 2 lings inside in the main, I feel ahead. Against Bisu, I feel behind because his probe control is just too good"

That's the Bisu style of bisu build: amazing micro, multitasking, distracing by zealots/corsair then drop/sneaky Dt to kill drones on other base... etc. Conversly, Best has a terrible micro skill among top protoss player.

If you didnt recognize this, you must hadn't watched enough Bisu vods.

It's definitely Bisu. The style is the same and he pretty much played under a barcode in the Remastered era almost all the time.

To be fair, when Bisu was hot stuff back in the day, every clown on ICCup was copying this style. They were all awful at it, but it was very common. The multitasking DT style has fallen out of favor, and Bisu was the only one who really mastered it, so if someone is taking down progamers on ladder using it, there's a good chance it's Bisu - that's their reasoning. Plus, all of these players have probably played Bisu hundreds of times in practice and can recognize his play, so their gut feeling is probably right.

Especially the zealot-harrass-multitasking is just amazing to watch, how he dismantles top players' defensive play with just basic units, surgically creates a situation for the corsairs and DTs to strike.

If you play a lot of BW yourself you know how annoying such a style can be, if you get lured/forced out of your comfort zone by just clever, actually quite logical use of the units one can have. How your game can crumble if the oppo gives you just 2-3 things to juggle at once, where others just do cookie-cutter moves with the same amount/type of units.
When I saw JD play vs Bisu I kept thinking "no, don't send ALL the lings there" or "dude, send one ling to scout that OTHER path now", but it's easy to see as an observer and sick hard to stay on top of all that if you're playing, even for a pro seemingly.
Surely the people who can pull these styles off repeatedly are gifted with a special talent for this, their micro/macro might even be mediocre but they can see the game with their opponents eyes or something, they have like a brain-region/neural-net that can process that interaction apart from what everyone else has.

Especially the zealot-harrass-multitasking is just amazing to watch, how he dismantles top players defensive play with just basic units, surgically creates a situation for the corsairs and DTs to strike.

If you play a lot of BW yourself you know how annoying such a style can be, if you get lured/forced out of your comfort zone by just clever, actually quite logical use of the units one can have. How your game can crumble if the oppo gives you just 2-3 things to juggle at once, where others just do cookie-cutter moves with the same amount/type of units.
When I saw JD play vs Bisu I kept thinking "no, don't send ALL the lings there" or "dude, send one ling to scout that OTHER path now", but it's easy to see as an observer and sick hard to stay on top of all that if you're playing, even for a pro seemingly.
Surely the people who can pull these styles off repeatedly are gifted with a special talent for this, their micro/macro might even be mediocre but they can see the game with their opponents eyes or something, they have like a brain-region/neural-net that can process that interaction apart from what everyone else has.

bisu has a fingerprint even after military. i am looking forward to seeing his games. i think the scene is wide open for him

All I want is for a Bisu vs Rain bo5 to happen. That's the dream match with his return.

Conversly, Best has a terrible micro skill among top protoss player.

You mean macro?

I mean while Best has a god macro skill, on other hand his micro is awful relatively to other top protoss. In PvZ his corsairs were named "dohsairs" by some as a joke, due to his awful corsair microing. Bisu conversely can dodge a scourge trap from JD (watch the games in OP).

Join army(serving military service) doesn't mean you are completely blocked from the society and using the Internet.
Of course we get annual vacation + bonus vacation as a reward. some vacations can be given if your family member is in a danger level to pass away or already passed away due to the incident. Also, extreme poverty can lead to get weaved from joining the army(condition has to be followed. Father died, mom's on a bad health, first son, etc)

Anyways, recently I heard we can use cellphones in the army this year of January or so and some troops are letting corpsmen to go out for a short time.

It's up to people believe whether or not bisu has practiced.
Also think about the past what was happening when fantasy, zero, hyun, hiya were coming back.

Rush played vs this so called "익명토스" (anonymous toss) an hour ago and compared hot keys in bw chart with the bisu's ones after the game (by his viewers request). And though he didnt set "hotkey selection" option, it was 100% match.

As a die-hard Flash fan, i want Bisu to trample him.

there, i said it.
One time that happened and I just stopped everything, selected the offending SCV, hit Cancel, moved it over to my Barracks, made a Marine, had the Marine shoot it to death, then left the game.

Their record during the professional life of BW was 11-16. That is still in Flash's favor, but far from "flash always had his number".

I'd imagine it's weighted toward Flash more and more as time went by.

Bisu is great but was always more showman than winner. Let's see him do it in tournament.

Flash is leagues ahead of Bisu if you look at their abilities in a best of series. Remember how long it was before Flash lost a best of to a protoss prior to snow? However I disagree with the above comment. Even if Bisu is perceived as a showman he was a stone cold killer for years in pro league. He holds the highest single season win count and I believe also owns the records in most all kills. In an unprepared best of 1 I would confidently put money on him. That's the scenario in which he beat Flash too.

are you so used to him winning 80-20 that 60-40 isn't "had his number". stork had 50-50 btw and bisu wished he had some of his tactical nous.

Between 2013 to 2017 Bisu only lost 3 times in PvP and had an 89% winrate. Bisu vs Rain only happened once and it was an epic long macro game that Bisu won. Bisu holds the highest elo of PvP during the kespa era so he holds the crown in PvP, but Rain is pretty darn close to taking it. He also needs one more PvP finals victory in a major tournament to match Bisu's record during the Kespa era.

I watched all those Proleague matches. Half the time Bisu wasn't selected for the Ace. Fantasy was, or sometimes even Best. SKT1 was deep enough to have three potential Aces. So you're exaggerating. Yes, Bisu had dominant Proleague seasons. No one ever said he didn't. Even during those dominant seasons, though, he was only sporadically as dominant in BoX, and part of the reason for his dominance was that you had to deal with the two other heavy-hitters in SKT1, especially Fantasy (who had quite the underrated career).

Either way, Proleague is over and has been for what, seven years? I guess that's all you have to hold onto. This thread is about Bisu being back *now*, though. No top players are terrified of him in a BoX. And he's always been relatively porous against Terran. Would be interesting to see if he could even beat Last or Sharp consistently in a BoX.

Right, the hate posts are for Bisu, not BisuDagger.

If they weren't "scared" (and probably, this isn't the right word, but I think we all know what's trying to be said) or respected him, this thread and all the vods you see here wouldn't even exist. And these are top players like Larva/Flash/etc who are shocked.

Super excited for Bisu’s return. He’s for sure going to be in good shape in no time (if not already). Not sure what the military schedules are for other P’s but with Bisu around and Rain exempt, it’s probably going to be a very good year for Protoss. Soulkey/Effort/Hero all gone. Last’s wrists putting his future in question. Flash probably leaving too. Interesting to see who is going to step up.

Bisu is always going to be a top, formidable player no matter what, but Flash is in a class by himself.

true but if he is coming back from practicing less, he is going to have to work on it all. we all assume he still has the crispest mechanics alongside flash but maybe there is some rust there. albeit it won't take him long to get back to his former shape if he wants to. the whole myth of 21 being an elder progamer has been dismissed (maybe only because the fall of teamhouses and the young players are not getting the coaching they need to break into the scene and unleash their potential?) so i think within a few months of practice he can get back to where he was and that is still top notch now for the scene.

really, i think he needs to grind pvp and learn those mind games if he is going to take rain's throne as the undisputed pvp mind reader/destroyer

WOW, the strom/dt drops, relentless, the entire mid/late game he wouldn't give Larva any breathing space, an unstoppable neverending onslaught of perfect harassment. If he can consistently play vs Larva in this form, he can jump right into the next ASL. Incredible absolutely incredible.

Thanks for posting that. If you see anymore please post them! <3
