EPTLike, Bisu's first 10 minutes of the fighting spirit game was fantastic. His initial zealots dealt more than enough damage. The goon micro holding off the FD attack was great - he killed the tank and took no damage. He was in a commanding position. But then, he absolutely did squander it.

He was in a really good position, but then he two bad engagements, the second disastrous, where there was no real point in engaging. First he traded something like 15 zealots against one supply depot attacking into 6. Then he saw that Flash's army was in a vulnerable position at his bridge and attacked - but rather than stasis the tanks in the back, he stasised the ones in the front, and then he did not disengage when his zealots were gone. He went from supply limit to 140 supply in no time, taking a battle he didn't have to take. It actually would have been fine if he committed to that attack too - but he had to stasis the back tanks, not the front ones. Had he done that, the trade would have gone much better for him, and Flash would not have been able to immediately follow up with attacking his natural and thus sieging his main gateway location. Bisu also could have chosen not to attack, instead expanding and making another 10 gateways in the top right corner. Had he done this, he would force Flash to choose between one of three locations to attack, and while stopping that attack would have been impossible to do in a cost efficient manner, Bisu would have had the ability to produce from 20 gateways no matter which direction Flash chose to go, and then Flash would not be able to both press either of the locations while keeping his main and other expansions safe from the 20 gateway worth of unit production backstabs that could take place.

But then, he absolutely did squander it. this was the part that really made me mad. He got such a great advantage due to his gameplay then he just rolled over and died due to a stupid engagments that he shouldn't have taken or should've done much better on. | ||

What makes all this even more sad is the fact, that bisu had the perfect opening, without getting harrassed ect.. | ||

Here Bisu still had chance to repel the force from Flash, he had energy for 2 stasis on his arbiters and army in his natural, he lost his army without using his arbiter spells vs A move terran army, that was basically the moment where he lost the game in such a silly way. | ||

But when you look at the first screenshot, you see 6 base Bisu suicide his army against 3 base Flash. Why the hell does he do that? It's fair if you have 10k minerals and 40 gateways, but he wasn't there yet. | ||

It happens and t versus z is a tough match up. I enjoyed his 2nd game against Bisu. He microed his army beautifuly and took charge. Every control group moved just where he wanted them. It was hard to stop. No disrespect to Bisu. Welcome to TL. =) But Flash is the best until someone proves otherwise, which means surpassing Flash's win % . | ||

It was no big deal though. But this being potentially Bisu's last series for a while and he played quite frankly terrible, it was really hard to watch. Flash has an impeccable way of making great players look mediocre. Big congrats to him and I hope that his continued dominance inspires players to work even harder. I like the way you put this. Everyone points out how badly Bisu played, but for whatever unknown reason, that happens to everyone when they play Flash... | ||

In this case, game 2. After getting an early lead there are plenty of ways to go, just pick one and commit. For example: 1. Mass expand (he did this) 2. Tech up arbiter/HT shuttle and add mass gates. 4. Try to find opportunity to punnish terran when he moves out, otherwise stall. 5. Starve terran. With Bisu's mechanics this should be no problem. It could be, however, that the nerves just hit anyone who is up against Flash in an offline major event. | ||

But big props to RAPiD! I think you're doing a good job casting alone. Sometimes you could comment/mention players supply difference as the game goes on more, as it can be a good indicator on how they are progressing (or status after battles). But overall good cast once again :-) Also I love your sign off comment (ref all the "trash" talk I read in the Larva vs Hero thread). Support the game and the players, who ever gets to the finals, they are playing the game we love <3 | ||

Second game it was really the stasis blocking him that botched the engagement in combination with underestimating the amount of tanks that could reinforce (possibly didn't see the tanks in the natural so believing it was only 4 tanks) but had the stasis not blocked as much as they did Bisu could probably had pushed down and cleared it out. Just so many mistakes in the fight, first to even take that engagement since if he had waited 60 seconds he could had secured the top right or forced Flash to move out and gotten a fight in more favorable terrain. Then he got greedy and stasised the front tanks committing to killing everything, then not retreating when the zealots were gone. Over all the games Bisu just felt nervous and hasty compared to his usual cool prowess. He kept forgetting units, hastily picking bad engagements more often then not, committing when he should retreat, hesitating and showing indecisiveness with his harassing units. As soon as things started going badly for him he began losing control and composure which spiraled. Clumsy/late micro and rushed decisions leading to more stress creating more clumsy/late micro and rushed decisions. | ||

But regardless, Flashs siege/unsiege micro in that push was insane. That's some of the best tank push micro I have seen. It really got my adrenaline going. | ||

he said he doesn't play toss but he also missed several interesting points in flashes game, so he can't be a terran either, right? that said, i hope he will try to improve again. | ||

Going back to the start of the game, i cannot help but dislike FS even more than i did before in TvP. Let's take a look: Bisu opened with a forward gateway in his nat against the rax and depot in natural of Flash. Due to a micro mistake he got 3 zealots in and took out 2 SCV (i think, or 3?) and some rines. From that point on. He held the counter attack, not losing a single goon and killing a good chunk of units. From that point, he was reasonably far ahead i feel. Bisu's PvT is centered on early game aggression and setting back if not outright killing killing terran in the midgame as a result. he's often very eager to play in such a fshion. However, FS here gave Flash the best map to hunker down and may out on the 3 bases. We saw why it's the perfect defensive map for 3 base turtle style. Bisu wasn't able to delay the third, tanks by flash covered very easy. After that, we never saw an opportunity to trade of army, since Flash walled the third and later the natural too. Of course it still was Bisu's game to lose (and he did), but given the early game advantage, i think we could have seen a different game under same circumstance on circuit breaker, or any other map that works with a less protected 3rd base. Fighting spirit caters to much to terrans need to hunker down and play passive when behind. Game two of the series was just a great example of this as well. Flash played this game great and Bisu threw it with the crucial attack on the choke, but i feel it's somewhat map dependant here too. | ||
