It's kind of sad that I don't remember considering I watched it live this morning, but i thought Savior was mined out, just about mined out, or running off half a base or something. If that was the case, Bisu still could have won considering he still had quite a large army that was much more durable than Savior's own. Uhm, dude, what game were you watching? o_O | ||

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. | ||

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. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
