coincidence really. Just because it happened to some other players doesn't really mean anything. He could be around for a while or he could sink into nothing again...we'll see.

I'm afraid the brackets don't allow this at all seeing as Bisu was dropped out of the MSL in the group stages...

I think same logic applies to Bisu

His first game on GOMTV1 MSL until the finals of GOMTV3 MSL, he went 59-31 (65.56%), quite nice isn't it? Then he wakes up next day, he feels his bonjwa magic but suddenly he got crushed, his confidence got crushed, his mental state was crushed (save for Bisu vs Savior epic showdown)
and he was pathetic. He got owned by Stork 0-3, Xellos saved him in Bacchus osl, and he showed good games vs flash but this is his only good games during that dark period. He even needed to cheese against baby to qualify to the clubday msl.

Then something happened to him, he woke up, prapared to qualify the osl, his opponent was iris, and the games were close, he was still nowhere at his prime but actually he remembered how to win a serie.

Still he barely qualified through ro8 of incruit osl, lost a game vs FBH in clubday msl, but actually he started to win. Despite his loss vs Stork, his play was inspiring, and he played good starcraft. Then he just stormed through clubday msl and gom, he won 2 titles in one swipe and during this period he showed us that if he wants to win, he will win.

But suddenly, he dropped 4 games in osl and msl, he was out from both leagues but sc gods do not allow this and they got kicked backho's ass in order to bisu can qualify to OSL. And he qualified in a spectacular fashion, going 6-0.

As i'm writing this, even during his 1st prime bisu always plays in proleague poorly. Despite kicking everybodys face in starleagues, his proleague results were always abysmal. But now we have a difference, he is 10-4 in winners league and 15-3 in Round 1 and 2, making a combined record 25-7.

Are you curious about his recent record?
68-22 (75.56%) since his games vs iris in incruit osl. And more important, he's 13-2 in BoX series.
Watch Bisu's glorious OSL run, this OSL belongs to him.

To OP:I almost forgot , that was a nice read man.

It didn't seem like his play vs. Iris was inspired even though he won there. I personally thought it was where after he prepped for Storks games (even though he lost) is where he got the magic back. Since the Stork games he is 61-17 (78.21%).

It's all kinda arbitrary though so whatever the case he's been pretty consistently above 75% for 4 months now... let's see how long he can hold it up.


Nice analysis btw OP. NaDa and July are beasts to be able to do what they have (and probably will) do.

I know that record was higher and his play in game 3 was slightly off , he simply remembered how to win vs Iris.

I think the op has forgoten one piece of information pertaining to his Savior analysis on this, otherwise flawless, write up.
Savior' resurgeance is obviously going to be a case of a "Fenix" resurgeance, instead of a "whats-his-face Candle" or the notorious "Nada Syndrome". And I affirm that we can be sure of that based on one simple overlooked data piece: IT'S 2009 BABE!!!!!
Savior will win MSL 3-0 against anyone!.

@ ^^^^^

..... omg the 2009 thing is REALLY getting out of hand... WAIT UNTIL MA JAE YOON PROVES HIMSELF BY GETTING INTO THE SEMIFINALS TONIGHT (if he does) CUZ OTHERWISE, HE AIN'T BACK YET, NOT EVEN TO HIMSELF, as I translated a couple of days ago when he won RO16.

Chillax, let Savior prove himself. Oh, yes, and I am an AVID savior fan. I was terribly excited when I saw Savior vs Bisu. But it's STILL an uphill climb for Ma Jae Yoon at this point. so STOP getting all excited for nothing - once he gets to semifinals, go nuts, cuz I might start taking interest again. but for now, let's keep the fanboyism under check, please?

See that's sorta why I posted it nearly a week ago...

I'm not saying it makes any sense, my prediction; in fact, that's basically the point. I don't think I mentioned 2009, only the actual facts as of the articles' composition.

It really wasn't fanboyism...it was an analysis. The prediction was more just for 'funsies,' if you will. It's what I want to happen, certainly not what I think will happen. My actual analysis said that it's really not a safe bet, in the end. But yes, we'll see in just a little bit, won't we? It's time to be excited.
