Every zerg should be ashamed of themselves after seeing that final game. Sad to knock out such a good player by just spamming the Hy button and hydra busting.

I was really hoping Bisu would win just because he found the time to drop the dt into Soma's main in the meantime.

That was really impressive, to do that under so much pressure where your only instinct is to hold.

Probably the most tense game I've seen in many many years. Too bad my hero lost.

Oh well. Light v Soma. Probably even better than Light v Bisu.

And Soma v Flash would be fun.

Bisu will be back much stronger next season.

Eat that you disgusting cheeser!


uhh ok, this is the saddest line of reasoning

Hydra bust -> hidden expo -> Lurker bust

There's nothing wrong with having disdain for somebody playing the odds fishing for free wins over and over rather than trying to outplay somebody.


bamboozling is outplaying, killing the scouting probe is outplaying because he was denied scouting info, soma knowing that you can end the match when you're ahead is outplaying.

long macro games aren't the only way to say if someone is better or not, its the most archaic thinking on our forums.

bisu got played, and he would have been out if he did not correctly scout.

Killing a scouting probe with speedlings is not outplaying.

Throwing the dice in the dark is not outplaying.

Well, ok then, by your own words, Soma is outplaying Bisu because Bisu cannon rushed.

No, by my own words winning with a cannon rush is not a meaningful measure of outplaying somebody. I didn't claim Bisu was outplaying Soma by dying to a hidden expo.

Winning = outplaying. That's the only definable measure of skill. To win.


This assertion is wrong. In a game where luck is a component, skill will never be the only determining factor to win, which means not every victory is caused by higher skill. And it also very much varies between games. When you place all your hopes into a strategy that is largely luck-based and win then the win is also largely luck-based as opposed to skill-based. Obviously skill plays a roll as well. I wouldn't have hold any of the cheeses here against those two even if I scouted them. But when players are on a similar level, these strategies are largely luck-based because it only comes down to scouting in time.

Where was the luck on game 1 and 2? Soma outplayed Bisu in both those games, partially because Bisu played worse, but Soma also played more intelligently and more skillfully as well.

Meaning that good player can't hold hydra bust after 15 years of this build existing ?

Just joking. I don't even know if that was a standard hydra bust and don't even remember how it was done

Ah, even though I main P and am a dirty scumbag, this series left me smiling. It was so intense and fun to watch. I always feel the winner deserves it because he made less mistakes but this time even more so - such a dirty and scrappy last game, not allowing Bisu to comfortably reach the stage where he shines. I love it! I am thrilled to see more of Soma in the Ro4. And the fact that he's an amateur lacking the pro-background - oh so tasty!
