And Bisu played economically behind for the rest of the game, except for brief moments where he was able to once again get up one base vs T, which is "equal", before getting his expos crushed.

Although Bisu won a couple of the battles he lost a lot more units than he should have.
Mainly 2 battles. 1) Outside the top left natural where Midas had a tank line reaching down almost to his natural. Bisu simply lost a lot of shit in this fight even though he killed Midas' main unit clump because so many stray units wandered off and died to the tank line. 2) Where Bisu tried to flank just southeast of that battle above with like 8-10 goons. He stasised a bunch of the shit in front(back units are better most of the time), rather than Midas' main clump a little north and that goon flank died almost instantly because there were no zealots in the mix. The tanks > those goons while all Midas' vultures at the bottom raped Bisu's zealots. With a proper flank and good micro Bisu could have had half his army left, rather than like 5-8 units like he did.
That on top of not securing enough expansions(you see how many probes got killed while sitting at a base before the nexus started?) lost him the game IMO. Also Midas took a super fast 3rd which Bisu did nothing about, but Bisu caught up pretty nicely and was able to get 4 bases running pretty quickly without dying to a timing push.

I'm ready to write Bisu off as a sniper at this point. no i definitely know what you mean, but he certainly is capable of playing the more modern style pvt. i have seen him do it. it's puzzling why he chooses to play like that sometimes though. although he can crush many terrans with that macro, it is not the safest way to seal a victory. i still think you are being a little harsh to say that bisu is not "back" though. his flair is back, and so is his confidence. i've been really impressed with him up to this point - carrying a huge weight for his team and delivering each time.

Time to train from Best!

If WeMade forces a 3rd match, I demand that the first game be Boxer vs Nada.

So...aren't the ace choices supposed to be simultaneous? Pure stood out really early, couldn't SKT have glanced over and seen him?

Well it might be his PvT confidence that's not back, while the others are? Still, it is puzzling.

I'm pretty sure he is back, including his shaky vT vs good Terrans.

On top of that, if he loses again, two times in a row, it may leave him pretty down psychologically for next matches. It's quite risky. (blah, and I thought the match was over @ 3:1)

If I understand correctly, both teams have to turn names in to the KeSPA officials before they can reveal anything. And the bait-and-switch when showing ace player is fairly common, so not a big deal.

Bisu was crying... lol why would they send him back in there for ace? Dude's mind has to be going crazy right now.
I cant imagine sending someone that just lost crying is a good strategy.

I agree with this assessment of the game. Bisu was always behind and didn't squeeze every ounce from his units (no Storm before Archon shift); two bad decisions w/ Arbiters.
@ kona
WTF IS THAT GAME? SO KAWAII. :D

a kespa official takes their choices before they're revealed to the audience.

Go Bisu ! It will very tough though as it seems Pure is playing great sc recently.
|
Hm, Bisu win into safe 1/1 LB or Pure win into Starcraft on Tuesday. Difficult choice :/
|
I feel like Bisu is not expanding aggressively enough in PvT's. He stayed even bases vs Midas for so long (even behind at one point). Compare that to Best's PvT where he ALWAYS gets that 3rd nexus so fast, then adds a 4th soon after, and never stops.
