Both Nada and Oov started slumping for the very first time right after their first OSL win. They were suddenly looking less confident, less motivated, less invincible. I wonder if the same's gonna happen to Savior, too.

Not to take any credit away from Bisu (who has been absolutely insane at PvZ lately and proves it once more), but the score just sounds... wrong.

maybe they all partied too fucking hard after their first OSL win :\\ too much lost brain cells

"...were suddenly looking less confident, less motivated, less invincible." -> (in the players heads) "...fucking hangover...fuck i had to wash all that shit off my face this morning...damnit..."

Well well well, I wake up to see that Bisu has just ran over Savior... I guess he was right when he said he would be either 3-0 or 3-1. And of course the Fanboys of Savior are gonna be like "he didn't blah blah blah" I said the same with Nada. But anyways I want you to notice something... Have you noticed that the two banners I have made so far, the person I put as the starring player on the left has came out on top ;]

Mexican Baseball players went to Disneyland day before the game with USA.

Most people said they gave up the game.

March, 2007

Bisu went to Thailand with his teammates before the MSL finals.

Most people said he gave up the game.

True. In fact, given that Savior was looking tired, he might have been practicing *too* much (although obviously either he didn't practice very much vs. the style of strat Bisu used, or the practice partners executed it differently/worse enough that he wasn't prepared for how hard Bisu hit with it).

I am not a Savior fan but, I don't think your on the fall if you just won an OSL and you were in the finals of an MSL thats two leagues and twice the pressure. I still don't like Savior though

Wow!

I didn't see the games yet, but from the report, it looks like Bisu did the perfect counter to Savior very (more than usual?) greedy builds.
He also used very well the fact that Savior doesn't research ovie speed.
Bisu going 3-0 against Ra then against Savior... Wow, that's unbelievable
Too bad for Savior's grand slam this season.

If savior was tired, it's his own fault. It's not like he played osl final yesterday. Even Iris said savior is able to practice less and still show good results. Maybe he want it too much, i dont know.

Even if he was tired, a 3-0 speaks for itself. Sometimes it felt like bisu was allways a step ahead but the rest of us still expected a typical slowly but surely push back by savior. He's human after all. All Royal Roaders are. It's just that everyone's hyping them in there prime like they're some kind of invincible gods and when they acctualy loose this bad everyone's like wtf. Motivation, fatigue, the simple evolution of gaming or a psychological interruption from outside...they're not machines, there's allways a limit. It's the performance after a loss that counts. Because then they reveal if they are fighters or not who are able to overcome their own failures/miscalculations/lack of a certain ability/mental strenght.

Congrats to bisu! Well done bruce!

Savior got to MSL finals 5 times in a row and won 3 times. He played both leagues together reached 1st and 2nd place virtually on the same time. That is simply AMAZING results. People here treat 2nd place as if its a disgrace.
If anything, this win shows that Savior isn't doing "magic" or imbalance tricks. He just constantly wins (won) his ZvPs through hard work and determination.

The psychological pressure on Savior was FAR greater than on Bisu. He was considered the winner a long time before this final. I was constantly amazed with how he managed this pressure in the past and won. But he is also human and BW IS extremely competitive.

If you ever played or worked in a highly competitive field you know that there are days when nothing works no matter how much you try it's just simply part of the deal. The thing that really matters is how you get up the next morning and continue practicing as usual.

So congratulations to Bisu on his fantastic play but take Savior's loss in proportion..

Besides, this drama will make the next season a lot better
