Predictions:

A thoughtful and unbiased assessment of Bisu's skills shows...
[image loading]

that his defense skills suck balls. Best must exploit this weakness and come up with some sort of rush/all in build to catch Bisu with his pants down. The matches must not reach mid-game when reaver play comes in, for Bisu's reavers are of exceptional annoyance and are clearly superior to Best's as seen in game 1. However, Bisu will still most likely advance, bolstering his fans spirits and "Next Bonjwa?" thread's post count.

Luxury is clearly the better player as Fantasy's TvZ is his big weakness, especially his bionic play. However, his ZvP loss against a mediocre player Nbs showed us what can happen to a player when he is heavily focusing on practicing another match-up. Luxury had just one day to prepare for these games since his ZvZ bo5. Will he be in good shape?

By.hero destroyed Hwasin in their first game by outplaying him in a straight up standard game. I like his chances for advancing and if he plays like he did in game 1, he certainly will. But Hwasin is Hwasin, and you can never count him out in a TvZ. I expect by.hero to advance 2-1 in close and exciting games.

What the fuck was Jaedong thinking in game 1. Such brilliant defense from reaver harass, and such fail afterward. This should have been a repeat of his dream match game 2 vs Bisu and I was certain it would be so before his horrible, horrible hydralurk attack near Stork's natural, and expo loss afterward. This was like watching his final game vs Free last MSL. At some point during both these games, Jaedong decided to pull away from the monitor and shove his head up his ass. Get you shit together and you will win this Jaedong!



The Results:
+ Show Spoiler +
Bisu > Best (2-0)

Luxury < Fantasy (1-1)
Luxury < Fantasy (1-2)

Hwasin > by.hero (1-1)
Hwasin < by.hero (1-2)

Stork < Jaedong (1-1)
Stork < Jaedong (1-2)

i know, he should try a 4gate goon, with bisus horrible defense that is bound to work.

or he could go dropship and could ask nada for tips on how to drop bisu on medusa.

This is very very questionable cause Bisu almost always win vs 4 gates, remember recent game vs KaL and old vs Free both on Medusa.

He was ragging on the OP, because the OP was saying Bisu has bad defense.

Don't care about the first 2 games.

Hwasin went from mega mode to crap mode recently. He was playing SO good and then just died off. So I expect by.hero to win this.

Stork needs to win 2-0 or not at all, I don't give him much of a chance on ToTM even though he's probably the best at 1 base tech right now.
Python is garbage, number 1 advocate of getting rid of it.

as much as I love jd and lecaf (i'm not going to use hwaseung), stork winning back to back osl's would make me infinitely happier.

Bisu 3 0 Best[hyo]
Major props to BeST for getting here..But this is where is road ends. Bisu is on fire, and coming off his win over Jangbi in the GOM finals, I'm pretty confident when I say Bisu will roll BeST

Luxury 2 1 Fantasy
Game 1 made me shit my pants. I thought Fantasy was going for a new TvZ build that would totally blow my mind. For those who didnt see it, Fantasy went for his much vaunted mech build...and then added 3 barracks...why? Who knows. I still wont rule Fantasy out. He comes from a house of mech GODS. I predict he'll take one game from Lux, but the broodling twin will take the series.

By.Hero 2 1 Hwasin
Am i the only one astounded with By.Hero's amazing play? With apm OVER 9000 ...just kidding, around 400~ and one of the cleanest deadliest z play that i have ever seen, I think Hero will win this over fellow STX member. But you cannot, absolutly cannot rule the red sniper out. He faced a ridiculous road to get here, beating Jaedong in the MSL and Flash and Upmagic in the OSL. He might still have it in him.

Jaedong 2 1 Stork
Game 1 made me piss my pants. Seriously. When i had lost all hope in Stork, he pulls one out of his pants. That game just reaffirmed my belief that Stork has one of the best late game production/micro skills in the starcraft world. That late game comeback in game 1 was mindboggling. However, this set is ALL jaedong. With the all important set 2 coming up i seriously doubt Jaedong will let it slip through his fingers. If jaedong plays an aggressive early-mid game and deny's Stork the many expansions that he needs, he'll be fine~ And dont get me started on ToTM. Ridiculous.

??throw??
LOL ^^

i'm not so sure about the last prediction. ToTM is just absolutly ridiculous.
With 2 openings in the nat, a Forge expand build is just horrible, unless you want to invest 600+ minerals in 4+ cannons...
Stork's 1 base play wont hold a candle to Jaedong's vP play.
Lets face it.

Zerg > P 1base
P forge FE - bisu = Zerg
Jaedong > P forge FE - Bisu
....soo.. using the equation A>B, B>C so A>C~
Jaedong >> P 1 base

I think if Stork goes 1 base it will be 3 hatch lings into mutas GG
and if Stork goes forge FE, it will be 9 pool into runby ALSO GG

I really dont see a way in it for Stork on ToTM unless he pulls out a new build

The only things your all not counting in you equations is that Bisu's probes deal 20 dmg and have 100 shields and 100 health. They also deal splash damage
