just a note, when you still call bisu > flash on aztec a cheese build the rest of your post loses all credibility

Ok, it's not a cheese. It's an original and very agressive opening, designed to exploit a weakness in the raxFE trendy build. It worked exceptionnaly well, because Flash scouted opposite side while being on close position.

Had Flash been crossed position or scouuted him, he would have seen the stream of zealot and bunker'd up.

All credit go to Bisu for this game. But it doesn't say much more than the fact that he micro'ed amazingly and has a lot of creativity. Saying that this shows he is better than Flash, and that despite the two brutal rape of the MSL, is just absurd.

There was no brutal rape in MSL.The game on Monte Cristo Bisu lost a big fight when Flash was pushing and lost his advantage. He did try to comeback but couldn't. Flash won, it was not a very close game but definitely not a rape.
The 2nd game was even more close, Bisu was even winning fights at some moments. And Flash had the BO advantage in that game, mind you.
The game in WL means something, in fact, it means a lot. It showed that Bisu could win Flash convincingly when he was prepared. He lost the game when he was lack of preparation because of his coach's decision. It's hard to say whether he is better than Flash but to say he is definitely inferior to Flash is absurd. At least he did win a championship, beating both Flash and JD. It counts.
Moreover, Flash got raped by JD (yes it was a rape, a brutal one in fact). And JD lost to Bisu straight up. So if Flash < JD and JD < Bisu so how on earth you can say Flash > Bisu in this month? I don't want to say Bisu > Flash based on this reasoning but it does mean something, at least make you reluctant to say Flash > Bisu definitely. And Flash got defeated straight up by Best, who is in a slump. Yes my perception of Flash is not good this month.

I do not want to see ''A>B, B>C, therefore A>C'' arguments. They're absolutely terrible and you can reach all kinds of ridiculous conclusions with them.

I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

I would say that the MSL games between Bisu and Flash weren't really rape, more giant Bisu blunders. On Monte Cristo, instead of doing what he knows he's good at, Bisu went Carriers. Watching it live I know Bisu fans were pretty pissed off by it. Bisu's Carrier control is not glorious, and he should've stuck to his strengths, especially after scouting the 8 Rax. The second game was entirely Bisu's decision-making that lost him that game. The attack at 6 was ended up costing Bisu that game, and it showed a lack of game sense in the match-up. Also I didn't feel anything spectacular from Flash in the MSL. He was in Ultimate Weapon form I think, but not the God-mode we are all used to.

Finally, why is the: "JD>Flash and Bisu>JD thus Bisu>Flash" argument, even relevant. Jaedong's a Zerg which is Bisu's best match-up, but Bisu can't PvZ against Flash. The entire argument is stupid.

I'm not ready to say Bisu is playing better than Flash, I'm not even ready to say Jaedong is doing better. Bisu did show weakness in the MSL and even so he's still in the top 3 argument.

I specifically state that I don't want to use that arguments, I just want to question the ABSOLUTE SUPERIORITY of Flash over Bisu if he lost to someone who has been losing to Bisu for quite a while now. You should REALLY CONSIDER that. Bisu lost 2 games to Flash in 1 day, maybe he couldn't prepare. Maybe he had a day off (hell, Flash and JD and Stork all have some days off). And he did win Flash 1 game on another day. So yeah, it's not objective to base everything on the MSL games. Moreover, If you insist, Flash > Bisu in MSL, he definitely > Bisu this month. Then JD >>>>>> Flash in MSL, Flash lost to slumping Best lol noob, JD definitely > Flash this month. Then Bisu > JD in some recent games and JD is dropping game in PL now, he definitely > JD this month. Then who is the #1?
We should consider other results, some is comparative, I know, but it's better than your reasoning "take MSL and ignore everything else, that's my perception etc...". Then how can we decide the order of top 3: JD, Bisu, Flash?

At least one PR writer wrote that it is determined by "force" or how scary it would be to face one of the players in a match. Flash is scary to face in all MUs. Same with Jaedong. Bisu is not nearly as scary in PvP as Flash is in TvP or Jaedong is in ZvP right now with his slumping record, for example. That is why Bisu hasn't been #1 on PR in years - he never seems indomitable, except maybe in PvZ sometimes, and sometimes in PvP (more towards the earlier years of his career).

So the writer is facing Bisu JD and Flash in the game to sense and compare their forces, rite? Because I don't know another way to do that. If he still "senses" something, I very doubt that it's his preference, which is very biased. Flash is scary in TvP? Yeah, he lost to Bisu and slumping Best in this month and was dropping game to other Protoss recently. He got raped by JD and recently showed some weaknesses vs Zergs. The Force is not strong in this one. JD is scary in ZvP? He lost to Bisu, which is understandable but recently Snow and Stork are causing him some difficulties. And Snow is not THAT good based on his results. So I don't know how to sense his force but...yeah he is not invincible, especially in ZvZ. Maybe you should try to sense the force of PL's championship and solid PL's performance and even good display in the MSL?

Did u watch the series between Jaedong and Snow? Snow played exceptionally well that series. The majority of people who watched that series tripped out, and it was easily the best series of PDPop MSL. And Stork ALWAYS plays good PvZ against Jaedong. Stork and Jaedong have been friends for ages, and if anyone knows how to play JD PvZ its Stork. You're making it sound like Jaedong and Flash are slumping which is not true at all. Also, you said players have an off day, well maybe Flash had an off day against Best? We can't know for sure. But the same person who you are saying has mediocre TvP just beat Bisu twice in MSL. And if u look at there head to head record this season it 3-1, which points in Flash's favor. It's not JUST about win record. The actual quality of play is important to. Saying "Oh JD lost to Snow twice" sounds bad, but if you watched the series, it was epic play from both players.

It is at least race dependent. in order from most want to face to least:
toss: Bisu Flash JD
zerg: JD, Flash, BIsu
terran, closer than the others, but probaly Bisu, JD, Flash

It's close enough to not just use that as a blanket argument to cover up performance this month.
Protoss: Best, Paralyze, Jangbi, Nal_Ra || Terran: Oov, Boxer, Fantasy, Hiya|| Zerg: Yellow, Zero

flash is still undeniably the best player, despite dropping a few games, and has been so for the past year and a half +.

u know why bisu is doing so well? the maps. the swarm season in 2009 showed jaedong raping left and right. then came terran maps in 2010 + flash learned to build turrets. jaedong still managed to stay on top, despite terrans having map advantage, being only second to flash.

2011 mapmakers decided to make maps protoss favored, thus bisu, stork and all these protosses increased their winrate so much, and terrans and zergs winrates decrease. i think protosses have >50% winrate for both matchups this season, and zergs have <50% winrate for both matchups this season to prove it. yet jaedong and flash still manage to beat bisu and these protosses in BO matches on protoss favored maps. and not complain about map imba like a certain lil bitch (bisu)

moreover, the only reason why SKT is doing well, is not only attributable to bisu. best had a good beginning, SKT zergs are proving to be an asset and fantasy (as much as i hate to admit it) did a good job carrying the team. on the otherhand, jaedong and flash have to carry their teams. Look at earlier rounds, for 1-4 scores where jaedong/flash wins.

anyhow, flash>jaedong>bisu seems like a fair ranking to me, come back and argue when bisu gets past ro16 in individual league

This is ridiculous, name one game that Jaedong or Flash beat Bisu in P favored map this season ? ALL the game he lost are in non-P favored map. And ONE thing for sure is that there is NO P-favored map in the MSL.

And your arguments about map is very wrong, last season there was NO Protoss maps, only T or Z maps. This season there are P maps, but there are also T maps and Z maps, so this season is balanced and not P-favored.

I specifically state that I don't want to use that arguments, I just want to question the ABSOLUTE SUPERIORITY of Flash over Bisu if he lost to someone who has been losing to Bisu for quite a while now. You should REALLY CONSIDER that. Bisu lost 2 games to Flash in 1 day, maybe he couldn't prepare. Maybe he had a day off (hell, Flash and JD and Stork all have some days off). And he did win Flash 1 game on another day. So yeah, it's not objective to base everything on the MSL games. Moreover, If you insist, Flash > Bisu in MSL, he definitely > Bisu this month. Then JD >>>>>> Flash in MSL, Flash lost to slumping Best lol noob, JD definitely > Flash this month. Then Bisu > JD in some recent games and JD is dropping game in PL now, he definitely > JD this month. Then who is the #1?
We should consider other results, some is comparative, I know, but it's better than your reasoning "take MSL and ignore everything else, that's my perception etc...". Then how can we decide the order of top 3: JD, Bisu, Flash?

At least one PR writer wrote that it is determined by "force" or how scary it would be to face one of the players in a match. Flash is scary to face in all MUs. Same with Jaedong. Bisu is not nearly as scary in PvP as Flash is in TvP or Jaedong is in ZvP right now with his slumping record, for example. That is why Bisu hasn't been #1 on PR in years - he never seems indomitable, except maybe in PvZ sometimes, and sometimes in PvP (more towards the earlier years of his career).

So the writer is facing Bisu JD and Flash in the game to sense and compare their forces, rite? Because I don't know another way to do that. If he still "senses" something, I very doubt that it's his preference, which is very biased. Flash is scary in TvP? Yeah, he lost to Bisu and slumping Best in this month and was dropping game to other Protoss recently. He got raped by JD and recently showed some weaknesses vs Zergs. The Force is not strong in this one. JD is scary in ZvP? He lost to Bisu, which is understandable but recently Snow and Stork are causing him some difficulties. And Snow is not THAT good based on his results. So I don't know how to sense his force but...yeah he is not invincible, especially in ZvZ. Maybe you should try to sense the force of PL's championship and solid PL's performance and even good display in the MSL?

As stated by the poster above me, Snow played incredibly well in the MSL series against Jaedong, basically combining some of the best elements of the Six Dragons. All credit goes to Snow for truly stepping his game up that series. And quite frankly, I don't think any other Z could've won game 5 of that series.
As for Flash's losses: the other losses to Protoss: look at the stats for Bloody Ridge in standard leagues. The loss to BeSt, I'm can't be sure about. You have to accept that Bisu was just outplayed in MSL.
Also, as I recall, Jaedong beat Stork pretty badly in their last game.

If you want to talk about game sense, then both Jaedong and Flash have proven themselves to show better game sense than Bisu. They can tell when something is odd and react to it, and can basically turn a lost game around by finding the one way to win. In addition, they rarely let go of the advantage once they get it. Bisu, however, has not shown this much except in PvZ. His MSL game on Monte Cristo is a good example of bad game sense: he gave up a huge advantage, and lost a game he should've won.

@ kamikami: Jaedong > Bisu on Benzene, which is 48% ZvP. (though yeah, this is pretty close to 50%, but still)
Jaedong and Hwaseung Oz fan.

And Bisu beat Jaedong twice in Fortress, which is 52.4% ZvP, I think any map with < 55% winrate in the matchup cannot be considered imbalanced or something.

historically Bisu beats Jaedong more on zerg favored maps, if I'm not mistaken. One of those weird facts about their rivalry lol

Oh please, we ALL know Bisu has always been odd in his strength compared to other Toss players. That's why everyone still consider him the best. You're not the most decorated Protoss player in BW without doing something right.

He is still considered S-class to most players. Flash is still obviously better, and just because JD won vs Flash this time, won't count again if they met up again in MSL.

Just ask yourselves, when was the last time, the LAST time ANY Protoss won a Starleague? It goes all the way back to 09 w/ 6 Dragons. Since then, it was all Flash and JD with little Hydra & Effort in the middle. Stork and Bisu gives the Protoss there best chance to win, and yet they both have their weakness that seems to be the only reason why they aren't able to get there anymore. (Except for Stork, but getting 3-0ed by Fantasy is...uh... head scratcher.)

So please stop saying Bisu lost his mojo. If Bisu was not in the Group of (D)eath, I'm almost certain he could have passed to at least round 8. He is, beyond anyone, I noticed seems to be fairly unlucky when it comes to Starleagues. Don't think it helps that the past winner (Hydra) and runner-up (Great) were Zergs. If they said they weren't afraid of Bisu then they wouldn't have throw the group together in the first place.

bisu HAD lost his mojo (and please don't talk about his supposed bad luck in starleagues. see: picking 3 zergs then losing to all but magma. see: getting eliminated by hero, then playing himself back in due to Backho's injury). Then SK decided to consistently spoon feed him advantageous matchups and played to his strengths to slowly replenish his lost confidence. Bisu's success as of late is more of a product of good coaching than an improvement in skill, because the skill has remained pretty much constant.

When Leta first start making a name for himself back in early 2009 there was a pretty similar thing. Good player, but swollen with good confidence thanks to an amazing proleague record fueled by good coaching decisions. (I think he was at like an 80+ percent win rate with 2 total games against protoss).

it isn't like I don't agree with you d_so but is there any other Toss players out right now that has an actual, real chance for Gold in MSL?

Stork is probably going to lose to Hydra, then it'll be down to Grape/Horang2 and I honestly do not see the two of them beat Flash/JD/Hydra (Stork if he wins).

I just wonder how long will this last?
