I got 6 out of 8 for Ro8 congrats to Soma & Bisu. Bisu's win against Best reminded me of him v Stork in MSL. He really willed his way through haven't seen him so bouncy in long time

For Ro4 I think: Flash, Queen, Stork, Soma.

Flash v Stork finals gogo~~

I love how Bisu has become such an old man in his interviews. He complains about having to play games after 10pm lol. I really hope he changes his sleep schedule a bit for the next series.

you guys are mad choosing Larva over Queen. Larva's offline performance is not where he excels and his zvz is really really questionable. Flash going through Action/Queen to the finals is going to be great

Yup! He was part of the eSTRO Gen before he became a KT FingerBoomer.

This is my prediction but with Stork vs Flash final.

Not a bad bet. The last time Bisu lost a BoX series against protoss was in 2011. However, Stork is a thorn.

Bisu KESPA Total Record in BoX: 18 series wins: 6 series losses with a 75% winrate

Bisu BoX loses list:
11-01-13 2010-2011 PDPop MSL Stork
10-11-04 MBC Survivor 21st Jila (Kal)
10-08-19 WCG2010 Korea Jila (Kal)
08-10-10 2008 Incruit OSL Stork
07-12-14 2007 EVER OSL Stork
06-05-11 2006 Newcomer Eval.. Tankboy

Head to Head with Stork
Bisu has 7 wins - 9 losses (43.75%) in individual leagues
Bisu has 10 wins - 15 losses (40.00%) in overall games versus Stork

Maps:
Bisu is 7 wins - 10 losses (41.18%) on Match Point in the Kespa era.

3-2 versus Terran (60.00%)
2-1 versus Zerg (66.67%)
2-7 versus Protoss (22.22%)

Post-Kespa Bisu has 6 wins - 3 losses (66.67%) , but no matches against Protoss.

I choose to believe Bisu will do better in series games

Bisu did fine today! He lost 1 BO1 and won 2 BO3s. His loss to Zero was strange, but i sense we are missing some history/mind games there. Zero(Queen) was amazing today, his zvp is so strong, its really really impressive. But Bisu played nice games with some mistakes here and there, but was he ever mistake-free? He was quite magical today and he is improving.

Zero took a page out of by.Hero's book, which is one of the two Zergs to beat Bisu in a post-kespa finals. by.Hero popularized overpool openings for fast lings and the hydra fake attacks into 6 hatch play. This was Bisu's kryptonite back then and still is. The deceiving aggression forced both Bisu and BeSt into reaver defenses. Bisu's goon/shuttle reaver response was a rather poor one as it not only gambled on not catching scourge hits, but eliminated any possibility of a third or templar tech if the first attack failed. Goons are also historically bad pre-lurker and it was reinforced in that game.

You know I was thinking today when watching Bisu vs Best in that game with the obs/reaver rush vs dt rush, why do Protosses always drop the reaver behind the minerals...

I do understand that of course its a very safe way and minimizes the dmg on the shuttle/reaver, but what if Bisu would have just dropped it next to the minerals at the natural, between the natural and the main. I mean we see these scarabs from behind the minerals pretty much always dud due to the fact that the workers get pulled and the scarab cant reach its target.

But in this case he knew Best didn't have much, why not just drop it next to the mins, yea the shuttle and reaver might take some damage, but there's virtually no way to stop the scarab from hitting. At least you're guaranteed to do some dmg... In this case he still lost everything without getting much done at all, so I mean it couldn't have been much worse?
