I find it hard to be particularly upset about the result. Back in '09 or '10, when Bisu lost 2-3 to Jaedong in the GSL winners' super match, that was painful and frustrating. Today it was just meh.

Seeing him send his Templars into Hydras to get sniped, storming his probes trying to kill Mutas after deciding to go Goons for air defense... his decision making seemed bizarre and his control lacking. And despite how much people bash him for cheesing, his early attack builds are very rarely all-in, as was the case in game 1. He usually doesn't even do it to win outright, just to throw off the opponent for later, like he did in game 5 of the previous finals against Hero. All in all, I very much doubt that he practiced anywhere close to the way he did for that match, and we saw the result.

bisu did look sharper in the mind series, but hero played great and very much deserved the win.

Bisu hasn't looked that convincing to me for quite a while now (I did still vote for him to win this). I think Hero was just that much better than him today. No excuses required.

Thanks for the cast!

I had to double check if it was Bisu really the one playing because the level of fail reminded me of (P)

free in the semis

He failed so many times but even after splitting the map in g3 he fails at defending them to textbook hive zerg play.

As a zerg player hero's g3 finish was satisfying to watch

This is what we need to have SC2 like, but sadly, we have DK... it will never be fixed T_T

I'm sure the majority of us wanted sc2 to be better than BW

Without having watched much BW in the past, I have to say this was highly enjoyable. I'll be tuning in in the future.

I'm glad you did, because then you'd enjoy the really good games because this series had so much clumsy fail in it.
