Basically late 2007 all the way to the start of Clubday MSL. Bisu losing to Mind in the GOM TV MSL s3 finals may have been the start of it, but he wasn't exactly weak after that loss. I think the real start of that slump was when Stork beat him in the OSL.

Bisu played better in the MSL than he has in the proleague lately. Fantasy, likewise. Maybe this means SKT1 is prioritizing individual leagues right now?

Not exactly. Bisu is achieving visible result by 2-0 his MSL group. However, Bisu's recent WL record isn't as bad as it may look. He doesn't get to play a lot because Fantasy has been doing a lot of 2 kill, 3 kill and all kill. He lost against Flash, big deal. He lost against Hogil, the ZvP sniper. OK. He lost against Light, yes, but he put up an epic fight.

As for Fantasy, I dunno where you have been, but Fantasy has been doing VERY well in the WL. Even Light expressed surprise that he won against Fantasy at all.

The reason why we say Bisu is slumping is simply because he is performing way way below our expectation of a S-class player. He's definitely no longer an equal to Flash and Jaedong. I'd say that Stork is better than Bisu at the moment from the matches that I have watched.

Stork v.s. Jaedong. Watch it, it's epic.

Also, watch Stork v.s. Flash. Stork should have been rolled over at the 12 minute mark after his failed DT all in. But he's Stork, even if his opponent is Flash. A BO5 Stork v.s. Flash is currently my dream final.

Bisu's life might hang on whether he can get through this group. Losing to Modesty will be a devastating blow to him, and making a 0-2 exit out of the MSL that much more likely.

Uh I might actually get up for this and watch it despite playing sc2 beta. It just fills me with satisfaction to see bisu crash over and over again and taste the sweat tears of his weeping fanboys.

That's pretty funny from a savior fan.
Man in that picture, it's almost like Bisu didn't have red hair or something. It was a different time.

I like Bisu's old pictures. His hairstyle looked so good back in the MBC days.

Wow, Bisu and Effort (last night) basically handed free passes to the Ro16.

But he'll just lose to some zerg later, anyway.

I really hope to see a great Protoss player dominate in StarCraft before it gets overshadowed by its successor. From what I know, it seems Protoss has been the hardest race for players to excel at, I wish the Taek-Bang Era and the Six Dragons had been more than just a brief glitch in StarCraft history.

Still, even if Protoss never achieves as much as the other races have, even if they get mocked as being easier at the low levels of play, I will forever remain a Protoss fan, as I have been since that day, twelve years ago, when my entire army was raped by Psionic Storms in Zerg Campaign Mission 8.

Go Bisu!

Best final is JD vs Flash by far.

A ro4 Stork vs Flash could be more epic tho, but a final with Stork and Flash/JD would be boring since we all would know the winner already.

Even if Bisu doesn't qualify from this group, he will be back I'm sure. He was slumping once already, remember? And came back stronger than ever winning MSL and GOM.
