Every time someone's favorite player loses, someone says "why didn't he just play standard?"

Look:
1) Carriers are standard on PR, and often in TvP as well.
2) You can't just "play standard" and win. What does that even mean? If a player "played standard" all the time, then they wouldn't win a single game, because they'd get sniped each and every game. The best players, like Flash, fantasy, Jaedong, EffOrt, and yes, Bisu, are the best players in no small part because they are very good at knowing how to play against their opponents and the map, and not just "standard". B-teamers know how to play standard. A-teamers know how to win.

There's only one instance where this criticism is valid, and it's when a player takes an unnecessary risk on a map they should win. If a T goes BBS on a map that's hugely T>P favored, and loses with it, then yeah, question it. But when a Bisu goes carriers on a fantastic carrier map, and loses the lead through his own fault and his opponent's smart play, then it has nothing to do with being "standard" or not, it has something to do with being outplayed.

He was obviously dedicating most of his practice time to getting a 4-0 record in proleague playoffs and getting his time to the next round, something Sea could not do.

I hate posts like this that suggest that there is no luck factor. I'm sure Sea spent just as much time as Bisu practicing for Proleague. Like, seriously, are you saying that Sea blew off PL? I agree with the rest of your post, though.
