Holy shit. Watch Bisu's mineral/gas count in game 3 vs Savior when it appears from 16 min till 24 min in the game. It NEVER rises above 1000 minerals, even while storm drops and intense battles are going on all over the map, combined with expanding and macroing off of 4-5 bases. I'm guessing it would've been sub-1000 the whole game if it had been shown. Meanwhile, Savior's mineral count is constantly 1000+ and hovering near 2000 over this entire period, even after his drone count has been raped hard by countless storm drops. Bisu has the multitasking of a fucking god.

I was thinking the same thing. Bisu's multitasking was awesome.

Yay! Up advanced

Last game was pretty intense, but I felt Hwasin played abit sloppy.

Light vs Jaedong were poor games. Both going retardstrats the matches they lost.

Bisu vs Savior was cool, and showed how amazing Bisu is at PvZ. Savior looked to have a chance on Katrina, but Bisu played calm and defended brilliantly throughout the game. Even when he lost his nexus I felt he was ahead. Like GGPlay in the groups Savior was manhandled and outpaced the last game at Fantasy. Only difference was Savior prolonging the game 10-15 minutes longer. I have to say Bisus harass and multitask was absolutely superb in that game.

As for Stork vs Flash I was hoping Flash could do it, and seeing Storks gamedeciding error(losing his shuttle) on Katrina I thought it might be possible. Stork has offdays(last OSL semi vs Iris), and you hardly see such mistakes from him. Last game was decided by the failure to kill the 1 HP nexus.

Overall pretty bad games, however Bisu vs Savior totally rocked! As for the semis Jaedong should win against Up(dont hope he does though) and Stork vs Bisu is a coinflip really. Bisu is the slight favorite I guess.

15 hp nexus with sheild hehe.
Yeah i thought the games were pretty short besides savior vs bisu.

nah savior lost cause he didnt get ultras soon enough
also no plague, ensnare woulda helped too
stork gonna win this osl

savior would have lost worse if he got ultras, plague, and ensnare faster. like all powerful things in the game, they require investments. so getting the powerful unit/ability is preceded by a weak period. bisu's constant attack would work better against a zerg making big investments. to win a game, savior would need to figure out either how to stop bisu's harrass once it comes or he'd need to figure out how to set up the game so bisu is unable or unwilling to try to harrass at all.

savior's early strat was amazing how he faked bisu into thinking savior was going all in hydras, when in fact, he only made half the hydras he could have made, and just drone'ed why bisu making multiple cannons.... but then those drops really put savior behind with perfect expo timings by bisu... also was really amazed at how bisu takes care of each unit (eg. tryin to drop to main with sairs and shuttle, but pulling away instantly when seeing hydras) it seemed like savior had bad response timing b/c bisu's response timing was just perfect..

Throughout Bisu-Savior game 2 and the mid part of game 3, I simply couldn't shut my mouth. Bisu's play was just jaw dropping.

What blew my mind is that ALL went to 3 games.

I hope the semis are as exciting.

Everyone who says savior should have gotten ensnare forgets that queen is an AIR unit and it takes time for it to get enough energy for ensnare. Game 2 with those roving bands of sairs, there's no way a queen would have survived long enough to get that energy.

Game 3 was just harass pownage. God I wish I had 1/10 the harass skill that bisu has.
