Savior won thanks to the early advantage he gained from the speedling rush. Bisu still outclassed him the whole game with better multitask, better control, and better game sense. If Bisu would have scouted the rush or done a better job defending, we wouldn't be seeing what remains of Savior's rotting corpse in R16.
Live to win.

He meant the first game, except that only bisu is in danger of elimination.(In fact, bisu got eliminated before he GGed)

As I've said, savior vs fbh final is impossible, brackets would make them play in the Semi Finals.

As for your comment, I really hope he doesn't lose.

Yeah and Bisu will beat Sa..... oh wait

Making safe predictions is lame anyway, what's the point, we all know Savior is still the underdog right now, noone cares. And FBH is not nearly as bad at TvP as people make him out to be. I always think it's one of those meme's created to confuse me, just like how people keep calling Backho bad for some reason.

How does Zero micro against those archons with mutas? Did he use patrol, right clicks, or hold position micro? Those archon snipes were sick.

I have to disagree. Maybe SaviOr did gain some lead from the early rush but we had seen Bisu came back from worse situations. Throughout the game SaviOr did a good job of delaying Bisu from moving out, i.e. scourging the first cosair, dropping the main repeatedly. Also, Bisu was never gotten past 2 expansions, while Bisu did not manage to take down any of SaviOr's expansions till the very end.

The fact that Bisu would not gg even when his main got destroyed along with all his gates and tech shows the kind of mental state he was in.

anybody who thinks that Savior was not fucking impressive in that game has gotta be kidding me. He shut down Bisu so completely that he was never able to really expand beyond his natural until the last few minutes of the game when it was already completely over. Savior kept Bisu on his toes by harassing constantly and dropping multiple times, as well as playing clutch and sniping off shuttles and observers and Bisu was not able to respond well. His nerves got the best of him, he was playing pretty badly overall. Bisu choked hard, I dunno what he was thinking in the end, I think he was too stunned to even gg as all his bases were getting destroyed (in fact I believe he was eliminated). That's why he played so badly later on and didn't advance. It's a shame that a player of his caliber just messed up so badly.

If savior can keep this up, I think he will advance far into the tournament. I hope he does well. I like Bisu as a player, but in all honesty he got owned this game, no denying it.



Savior had a HUGE lead after those initial zergling allin. He killed around 11-13 probes, everything at the expo expect 2 probes. That's HUGE.


Savior won because of that play. He would have either took the game longer / lost if he didn't get such an early lead.


Bisu didn't choke, he was just extremely shaken after the first zergling rush.

All in? Okay...

Savior made maybe 20 lings or so. That's 10 drones. Z's have less drones than Protoss so drones are a bit more valuable than Probes I think. Savior came out ahead, but just a tiny bit. It wasn't nearly as much as you're making it out to be...


13 probes
+ 2 zeals / 2 cannons / and 1 minute of lost mining time.

That's about another 600-700 minerals advantage early game.

Doing this much early damage stalls everything that protoss does mid-game.

Patrol almost the whole time. Some right clicks, but mostly patrol.

just right click obviously. Patrol does not target archons.

you fail to realize that whole game depended on that early advantage that savior got. Only excellent play allowed bisu to come back into it and even gain the upper hand
it was pretty amazing that he didnt try to harass with his shuttle feeling that savior might have burrowed units somewhere, even though he had no information at that point. Pure intelligence

Savior lost even more mining time since he never had those drones in the first place. Savior's natural had like 7 drones around 7:10, about a minute after the break. His hydras were also late since he had been making pure drone. He got some advantage but it really wasn't much. It's like getting 3 drones with a Zealot or killing a drone with a scouting probe.

If he sensed the burrowed units, he would 1) not fly around with his shuttle and 2) made observers before reavers.

I stand by what I said earlier. Savior was a stone faced assassin that game. People have to understand that to beat Bisu, you need to claim that early advantage and then play brilliantly on the edge the rest of the time to stand a chance. That is what MJY did. Did he lost some units when he didn't have to? Yes, but that is the nature of zerg. I would argue that it forced Bisu to remain close to home.

The beginning was not a zerg all-in, it was simply a way to slow down Bisu. If you let him get established without losing anything, you aren't going to win. Savior basically forced the P army to stay at the top of the map for 20 minutes. Imagin, you pressure BISU enough so that he cannot march south on a two player map. Incredible.

Bisu played amazing for his part. Him game sense was awesome and he got back into a game so quickly after suffering a huge setback. He forced MJY into bad attacks and tried to shut down expansions with harass. Both players played an amazing game, I don't see why everyone feels like one person has to be torn down.

+ Show Spoiler [to the nit pickers] +
I know that Bisu then lost to Zero, but that was only because of a single micro mistake. Had he not lost his sairs, he would not lose that game. That was not a strategy loss or a BO loss. It mearly represents the random nature of progaming.

That "huge set back" should have never been a gain. I feel protoss is cheating every time they gain such an early economical advantage with fast expos with almost no defense. But that initial delay was very important for savior's win. He had more time to build hydra and spread them well, more scourges made Bisu stay longer in his base and so on.
Overall a beautiful game.

What is wrong with you people? Savior "won because of his early ling advantage"? It wasn't a four pool or something.

Savior simply used that strategy to try and gain an advantage, and it worked. So how exactly does that reflect poorly on Savior's skill?

Let's rephrase this. "Savior won because he used an unexpected strategy at the right moment to get a decisive advantage in the game."

Edit:

Sorry that this post is so angry-sounding. Just, please don't take any credit away from Savior for a great game he played there. I have enough respect for Bisu to know that you need to play an amazing game to take him down.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised to hear how loud the Korean fans were cheering for Savior.

Is Savior as popular among Korean fans as he is here on Teamliquid?

And making stupid predictions isn't lame? Some people care about realism and common sense. I'm sure there are 1000s of Savior fans choking it over Bisu's loss right now. I'm sure it's fun for some delusional fan boys to hope for their Savior's return. But Jesus won't come back and neither will Savior. Fact remains Savior was still outclassed the entire game, except for the poorly defended and poorly scouted ling rush, which is the only reason Savior won.
Live to win.
