The common thread between Bisu and Stork is both had to prepare for all three races, with brand new maps in the pool. Both Bisu and Stork were eliminated by Terrans who clearly crafted a careful build for that game. It's not an excuse for Bisu/Stork, but it's not a coincidence either. | ||

Stork played pretty poor that game and it was a standard build from Canata. People underestimate him but his mech is actually decent. | ||

Bisu keeps screwing up in the early rounds, but he can at least play a damn exciting Bo5 against Flash or Jaedong. Flash/Jaedong vs Guemchi/Bogus just results in horrible rape. | ||

Bisu made it past the group stage of MSL on 5 occasions. In 4 of the cases he was one of the finalists, in the 5th, he made it to the Ro8. I'm not saying its ultimately true, but whenever he managed to advance, he really made it deep. Thats why I disagree with ppl saying that, he is potentially a worse addition to the MSL, because he played worse than Bogus or GuemChi in the groups | ||

It was pretty standard but not completely - he knew 100% that he would face a Protoss on Ultimatum (since Stork vs Movie was the other match) and incorporated cliffing Stork's natural at an annoying time really well. While he couldn't have planned for close positions (and an exposed natural cliff, a 1/3 best case scenario for him), he capitalized exactly as you should and the storms Stork ended up wasting on cleaning it up might have cost him the game, because he could really have used 2 more storms during Canata's big push. | ||

What is this about "blind fanboyism"? It's pretty damn disappointing when the best Protoss of all time, and one of the three best players at any given time doesn't advance. | ||

The like of Bogus, sure they can spark, but like what? one in a blue moon? ... Then what's next? Getting crushed in less than 10 minutes by another mediocre player, which leads to a Frozean vs TheZerg kind of final? I'm not saying Bisu deserved to move on. If he didn't win, he didn't deserve it, period. But it sucks so much from most BW fans' point of view. Seriously who would want another Kwanro vs Calm finals? to be fair kwanro v calm was a much better finals than yarnc v jaedong in terms of game quality | ||

Uh then because of that reason, Bogus and Guemchi should just stand up, take their headphones out, and tap out before they split their workers? He played worse than Guemchi and Bogus and thus lost to them. Thus he doesn't deserve to make it to the next round while Guemchi and Bogus do. Although cheesing an opponent to win is really dodgy IMHO but hey its not like SKT1 is not familiar with cheesing to win important games...Boxer with Yellow and Fantasy with Jaedong are two massive, massive examples of this. Disappointing that two stars are already out, but what is disappointing is not that Guemchi and Bogus won, because its obvious that the two of them prepared really hard for their games, but Bisu, and perhaps Savior too, for not bringing their A game to show these two scrubs why they'll never get far in a Starleague. Guemchi and Bogus definitely don't deserve the hate they're currently getting. | ||

Next time he should probably set himself up with Jaedong Flash and Stork so that he wouldn't have to lose 1 game out of boredom . | ||

And yes, Bisu vs JD (don't bring up WCG here, we all know it would be a better series in a Starleague) or Bisu vs Flash is pretty much guaranteed to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Guemchi/Bogus vs JD or Flash. It's not even comparable. Stork played like crap for 4 straight games, does that mean he's not still an elite and exciting player? Watch Stork vs Flash from OSL last night and you'll see what happens when one of the top 2 or 3 players in a given race gears up and plays another top 3 player. That alone justifies people lamenting that he didn't advance. I mean come on, you'd rather have Guemchi than Bisu just cause he capitalized on one retarded game by Bisu? At least Bogus is really young and looks like he has a lot of potential. Guemchi looks like one of those P's who will never completely figure it out and be decent for awhile but never contend for a starleague. | ||

Bogus is promising, I havent seen his TvT, but his TvP and TvZ look pretty good Edit: also I hope Bogus gets his name changed and hopefully it changes on TLPD too, bogus just sounds horrible, what nick is going by now? | ||

The manner in which he was kicked out was particularly disappointing seeing as he has a lot of potential to produce great games. Its true that he played worse than Guemchi and Bogus, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that he's a worse player than them. Anyone can lose to cheese, and it was a really silly mistake that led him to his defeat against guemchi. Usually you hope that the better players make it to the next round, and in this case I can't bring myself to say that Bisu is on average a worse player than Guemchi and Bogus. | ||

It's seriously not even debatable yet. People play poorly on a bad day - it happens. But Bisu is and will be a far better player than Guemchi or Bogus for the short term future. | ||
