Yeah, send a protoss on sniper ridge against a terran despite heavy warning from Stork, what an awesome strategy Park. I don't know what you're smoking but Bisu scouted 5fact from Bogus and even gave up control of the 2 ridges between the 2 bases. Apparently TvP is imbalanced when you lose to a scouted 5 fact timing. By.Sun scouted Turn's 5 fact and lost, too. But a player of Bisu's caliber shouldn't have too much trouble against Bogus's build (and also given his recent history against Bogus) 5fac all in with scv cut after a rax-cc opener is pretty much a hardcounter to 1gate triple nexus. Could bisu have handled it better? Sure he could (trying to stall on the last 2 ridges for example), but despite scouting it, cutting probes and just massing gates forgoing any tech he still got raped pretty easily. No idea why people are actually recommending this game as its just a perfect example of a well executed attack from a highly advantagous build order. This is a brilliant game with an excellently executed timing push. Bisu scouts with his probe in the wrong direction and eventually sees that the terran has fast expanded. Given his scouting information came so late Bisu had already gone gate first to defend early aggression and so was behind. He needed to catch up economically or do some good damage. He did this by going 3 nex and trying to snipe the bunker (which was saved by taking a marine out to take hits <- awesome play). Now the strat that bogus employed is meant to hard counter fast 3rd nex and was somewhat allin. The best way for a protoss to stop such a strat is to stay on 2 base but alas bisu was greedy and this did not happen. Some excellent micro was displayed by bogus during his push preserving his tanks and pushing carefully. The distance between the bases isn't that long either, so the damage caused by such a push is greater as the protoss cannot force seige/unseige to squeeze out units. There was a high probability that a strong push can happen given the spawning locations so perhaps bisus gamble on the third base may have been a bit much. Regardless, wp bogus wp stx gg NB: This is all from memory of watching it live. I do not guarantee 100% accuracy for my analysis. I guess we just have different views on what makes a good match then, personally I do enjoy watching all BW but when I am looking for recommended games I want games that are exciting, for example close games, games with lots of action or something unorthodox happening. Watching someone ride a big BO advantage to an easy victory is not what I want to watch if I dont have the time to watch all games and just look for whats recommended. This game is basicly the same as watching a ZvZ where someone goes defensive overgas against 9pool speed and just wins because of more mutas in the first engagement. As for the bunkersave, while kind of cute he should never ever have gotten in a spot where his bunker could almost die and he was actually never in danger of losing it. Its pretty simple, 1 scv repairing for each goon attacking the bunker will keep your bunker at constant health, if your a pro and lose your bunker against 3goons you have fucked up beyond words. Bogus did have 3 on repair so he would not have lost it anyway even tho it was close and he obviously got stressed by it. Maybe its just me but I dont find short, one sided games that are ridden on a big BO advantage to be something to recommend too others 
It's Bisu losing, of course it's going to be recommended :D
BTW Reach was probably sad watching those zealots bomb... As for Bisu, his probe got scouted, he should not have taken such a huge risk. WP Bogus too, I'm happy about that game, I really think he's a strong player.
Calm's game was good. Fantasy was lolworthy. Happy for STX =)
Edit : and I'd recommend a lot of not so close game when Flash plays, because seeing the highest level of starcraft is such a pleasure...

Soo needs better teammates, IMO.
This x 100
Bisu baited Bogus to do a push being confident that he could hold it off and be ahead with his quick 3rd base. Bogus however played like a total mac. That one mine that killed the 3 goons sealed the deal. Congrats to Bogus and loooool @ CALM! Proxy hatch you sneaky zerg? ^^ First July and now Calm is continuing the tradition of STX zergs traumatizing Best! ^^
Sick games today

I can't believe a worthless team like STX managed to beat SKT. Well done. Worthless is what you call people who can't even defend a 5 fact timing push. 
Hahaha. Legend of the Banner indeed! Pretty epic thread, Merry Xmas everyone

LOL is this a joke?!?! Sorry if I'm late to the party today, but 3-1 for STX?!?! What has the world come to...

Opposite day in Starcraftland.

That was a badly played game by Bisu, I expected a lot more from him.
|
That last game from best was just depressing. What a terrible way to end the match

I love STX beating SKT. That last game was awesome as hell, Calm walking through the back door, I got so excited as he planted that proxy hatch. Bogus vs Bisu was great as well. That push was just a pleasure to watch.
I couldn't have asked for a better christmas present.

The banner is so perfect for this series.

I'm actually pretty surprised at the general lack of backdoor pushes on maps that allow it(Desti especially).

man I'm pissed at bisu. he saw with his obs bogus was cutting scv getting 5 fact... didnt add citadel... okay...
then there were two points where he had high ground and could have just gone for it, he would have killed most of the tanks and lost all his goons but it would be a good trade... still didnt engage... okay... then he got shuttle with zealots and high ground chance again STILL DIDNT GO FOR IT he had to wait till he had like 6 tanks up in his face mines everywhere to make a move.
bad bisu...
i am disappoint
