The keys to Mini’s success come in how he handles his opening builds and his map draws. The maps he wants to play on are Circuit Breakers, Cross Game, and Overwatch. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/nS21gbb.png) | ||

As much as I love stork, Rain has the best PvP in the history of BW and can lose the Rock Paper Scissors aspect of the matchup but still win. Bisu would like to say otherwise. He could have an arguably higher score if he didn't go to the military and he holds the highest elo peak in the Kespa era. Post-Kespa Bisu vP: 23-3 (88.46%) Rain vP: 27-8 (77.14%) Bisu also had a similar record between the end of 2008 and 2009 where his record was 25 wins - 5 losses (83.33%) . It took him six months and over 30 games before he recorded two consecutive losses in the matchup. To wrap it up, Rain has only played Bisu once in his career and lost in that match. However, it was an amazing game and he truly is a worthy disciple of Bisu. He just can't be considered the greatest. | ||

I seem to remember some protoss pressing him fairly hard, failing at a large goon attack and getting judo slammed into the ground? PvP is very unforgiving and if I am remembering correctly, Rain has been beastly +70%(?). If we use Last as a metric, Stork looked miles better but Rain is a repeat champion for a reason. He controls match tempo better then anyone else. He is the reverse Soulkey, who seems to be okay with any game fork and equally prepared to improv or just run a build script. Normally, 1 zerg would have me bummed, but this will be a great ro8 regardless. | ||

Anyways they would both have to make the finals if they're going to play again in this tournament and I really don't see that happening. Lots of interesting matchups coming up regardless of the results. | ||

In PvP it's hard to play around someone who is superior with unit control and army movement, like Rain. | ||

Yeah, it's true. I'm just saying the excellence he demonstrated yesterday isn't going to be particularly helpful when facing off against Rain. | ||

Eh, Stork was fantastic with Shuttles back in the day iirc? Actually he had fantastic everything back in the day, unless he was playing WoW instead of practicing BW...

Quite impressive for a guy whos TLDP starts in 2004. I don't think his mechanics are better than in the Kespa era. Just no, actually. But he has improved so much from the last tourney, it's incredible. | ||

Nowadays, Jaedong is sadly gone and Last may appear from Flashlike to b-tier before of his wrists; Best should be a much more meanigful test. | ||
