He was happy to see lots of fans.
It must have been a surprise to go 3:0?
Today it seemed to be my day. I was just taking it one set at a time.
Something about the first set knowing Bisu would’ve proxied?
Thanks ZerO for helping figure out strategies?
Final Words: This season, it was my first tournament victory and it made me very happy. I hope to continue my form and for the next season do just as well. Thank you.
this is all i got from listening and trying to translate with my shitty korean lol

Even though hero won I'd still argue Bisu is a far better player atm. yeah we're all overhyping hero and poor Bisu is not appreciated. sure. No Bisu was overhyped when it came to this finals. The odds were in heros favour. Even as a Bisu fan I have to admit that in SSL9, hero clearly choked, he should've won it, but hero is not that phenomenal outside of PvZ. I'd love to get on the hero hype train, but he really does need to up his ZvZ and ZvT he's doing ok at the moment I'd say + Show Spoiler +
If he can keep the streak up or atleast continue to win against insane terrans, I'm on board, but I'm still skeptical about his ZvT and ZvZ

Oh gotcha, IDK, Sonic is so invested in it. The league is much as much his baby as Sbenu is, it'd make sense to have those both grow eachother. Ideally there will be other sponsor opportunities.

If the scenario was switched hero getting Mind in the SF and Bisu getting Free, I think hero wouldn't have even gotten to the finals. Even though hero won I'd still argue Bisu is a far better player atm. Bisu's worst MU has bren PvZ over the last two years, while being God in the other two, hero has been a God in Pvz and meh in the other two. If it ever gets to a hero vs top non-toss finals. Hero is losing. looks like you been out for a long time,is not the case anymore,Hero now is good in everymatchup maybe the most weaker zvz but still enough to win anyone.
Possible, I haven't followed the scene as closely in 2015. I watched basically everything in 2013 and early 2014.

Still waiting for a Mind vs Hero series.
They didn't play even a single game in this SSL, did they?

So ZerO is on hero's side?
so that means bisu only has EffOrt (most likely considering EffOrt did not stream much lately but is regularly online on fish)...and maybe Larva/Hyuk. LOL

Bummer, but hero really did play it better this time around. Things really just went his way overall, as he said.
The stakes don't really feel as high as they did in the Kespa era though... nowhere near the same emotional investment in the outcome as there used to be.

Bet that this defeat will continue to linger in Bisu's mind (and his fans) when he goes for army eventually.
kinda good in a sense that it will make Bisu not give up on this game yet

I am inclined to slightly agree. Honestly, I thought it was a great tournament. Truthfully, I love this game more than the struggles or victories of any particular player, though I suppose it's nice to root for or against certain people. I loved that highlights reel at the end, think I saw every game there. I've really missed watching BW like this, and it's great there are so many people keeping this game alive. Supporting it. Watching it. Playing it. The affection I have for this game is so deep it borders on the perverse. Let's call it passion. It's a different era, surely, but I still enjoyed every minute of it.

well lets be honest. hero is the best zerg in the current scene thanks to the win, but in the old days theres no way hed even hit ro4
the scene overall has lost a lot of strong players, mainly bangleessang
even if bisu won i dont think he would have been happy as he would have had he won an osl in bw's prime

hero has definitely improved quite a bit since those days, while bisu has only seem to stagnate somewhat and grow complacent under the mountain of balloons he gets everyday on stream
can't really compare eras
