Wonderful series. Larva has improved so much. Going head on vs Bisu and playing straight macro games with confidence is definitely admirable.

Couldn't care less about the finals after this.

Protoss honestly has the stronger 200/200 army.

Well played by Bisu!!!

Looking forward to having him back from military service. His dedication has added so much to BW, especially as the recent post-KeSPA scene has gotten off the ground. He plays Protoss like nobody else. It was great to see him end this chapter on a high note.
May the BeSt man win.

Very entertaining series. I think Larva had a chance at beating Bisu. His ZvP has been fantastic and let's face it, game 1 was just a fluke and happened to work Game 4 on Gladiator, Larva recovered well after he lost all those lurkers and ate that huge storm drop that killed lots of workers at his 3rd/4th. Problem is, he kept trying to break Bisu's fourth and in turn, had barely an army to defend his mineral only and subsequent expansions = gg.

WP by both. Really enjoyed the last game so hopefully both were somewhat satisfied though poor larva T.T

Yup, Reaver, Archon, Templar just beats everything pretty much. It's just so hard to actually make it to that composition, but it melts everything zerg has even with swarm.

Larva didnt have swarm and cracklings?
And I’m not saying you autowin by doing that. But when the best toss (and best PvZ) in the world cant break through a turtled zerg with a 50-90 supply advantage, and wins a game without breaking the zerg and allowing it to max out, that has to tell you something.

my heart is broken, but going out after having nice series with flash and jd as well as winning a great pvz match gives me enough closure. Im really happy he stayed in good form till the very end and was motivated to deliver great games

Also, lets be real, if he decides to play again in 2 years he will still be one of the best in the world.

It does to an extent. The strength of Protoss is in small numbers, while the strength of Zerg is in large numbers. While Protoss may melt everything at the beginning with such a composition, a continuing aggression by Zerg will eventually break that down, specially with cracklings/swarm/plagu. You also have to take into account the cost of rebuilding such a composition in the late game, for protoss it's almost impossible, while for zerg it's rather affordable.

It is a fair matchup against sunk spore lurk, though.

Did you watch the game? If so, try to recall how Bisu's got his advantage on that game.

He tried to break Larva's natural, attacking the hat and while he was doing it Larva was forced to send reinforcements from the other natural. That's how you force trades as a P. On other maps the Z would wait for the toss to be fully committed to the sunken line to send reinforcements, but Gladiator is too big and if you wait you wont have the timing to sandwich the toss army. He put his units close to his natural to do the sandwich but Bisu caught that in the way.

How that happened? Because Bisu was attacking larva's static defense.

After that Bisu tried to break the empty main's natural Larva had taken. He fully committed there killing 8 or so lurkers, a lot of lings and hydras until larva managed to stop it with a nydus to reinforce.

Imagine if Bisu had waited for the nydus+adrenal to pop in the game. He would get raped.

His 2star corsair didn't do much because it was scouted, his initial drops didn't do anything, etc, What won him the game was attacking the turtle zerg.

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

Arguably. I disagree, but one thing you can't disagree is that Zerg's mobility is immensely superior. 2 groups of adrenal lings can destroy a toss base in seconds, add a defiler and it can erase a toss expo in less than seconds.It takes a lot of time to make the perfect D (storms+cann+reavers) and on a high level match you'll only achieve that D by forcing the Z playing defensively.

i dont understand in the last interview after the win artosis/rapid said he was leaving the door open to ASL5 or at least implying he said something along the words of ''thinking he wont make asl5'' instead of stating asl4 was his last official tournament?? can anyone clearify

if i remember correctly he stated in the R8 it would be his last official tournament so what any help?

(btw im pretty devastated i found bisu one of the most entertaining characters on afreeca and also one of the most passionate in terms of staying true to himself, he has always spoken his mind never censored himself he was one of the first to say his heart is with star and not sc2 and was disappointed with the gameplay of SC2 and the fans that left SC2 duo to poor gameplay. never forget !!onlystar!! )
