That's the type of thing that should be struck down by the starcraft gods.
One thing that sucks is that Bisu might miss magma, the player who's actually pretty damn good against protoss, because Magma has worthless ZvZ. Agreed. A true champion shall never set up a free-win group from himself. I remember he once said in an interview that he likes to face strong players in the group stage, especially those who defeated him recently so that he can get a revenge. What a liar.
For the record I don't like what Bisu did with the MSL groups either, but I do think some people are getting a little too worked up over it.
Last time Bisu was in an all zerg MSL group, he got eliminated 2-0. This is his way of proving himself after that embarrassing display. (This one is pure speculation.)
Savior said Bisu couldn't truly challenge him until he had 3 titles. Now that he does, he is calling him out on it. This is, for Bisu, a sort of symbolic right of passage, albeit a bit one sided. (Again...speculation.)
He has the chance of facing magma, who as everyone knows did a great job of provoking all the dragons. I'm sure Bisu is hoping to get a piece of him and put him in is place.
As for moving Flash out of his group, good. I'll take the chance of a Bisu/Flash Bo5 final over some lame ass single game any day. He already beat Flash in a Bo3 (and again in proleague after group selections.) He has nothing left to prove. There is no revenge to be had. The chance that one of these 2 monsters might get eliminated by each other so early in the tournament is very anti-climatic. As I said, the prospect of a final between these two is way more enjoyable than some silly 1 set grudge match.
Of course everyone who is a fan Flash, Jaedong, and FBH are still going to be angry because one of them is guaranteed not to advance. But JD and FBH were butting heads all night and Flash in the group...well, thats just the way the world turns sometimes. This isn't the first time something like this has happened in a group selection, and everyone will forget all about it once they see Bisu vs. Jaedong in the finals!
Edit: Oh and before someone else says it, yes, I know he gave us an all Terran group. That indeed blows.

I just got reminded that we won't be seeing a TL.net cheerful for Savior tonight because of a lack of participation
I'll take this opportunity to say "Shame on you!" to every one who got a CJ shirt and didn't participate!

Yes, I think your point is valid. I can accept Bisu eliminating Savior because after all Savior is gone and Bisu is right on fire, but if Firebathero advances and Jaedong not, I will crash every Samsung product in my room. He thinks he is more accomplished than Savior or Jaedong? Not until you get three title sob!

Magma/Zero
Magma is out to destroy an acorn.
And I've lost faith in Savior, especially after seeing his "meh" MST games.

Called in sick from work: Check
Sitting in my favorite chair: Check
Awaiting Savior rolling this group with EZ!: FUCKING CHECK
God I'm so hyped up right now! I might even forgot to breath at same point.

Bisu plays like a handicapped kid and it's 2009 so it's time for Savior to show what he's made of!

Sorry Ma Bonjwa fans, but I'd like to see ZerO or maGma advance with Bisu much more than I'd like to see sAviOr get the slot.

too much ZvZ for my taste, but hey, it should be interesting anyway...
