I mean 15 or so games last month, 9 games in this so far... this is like half the games Bisu played in the Jan/Feb this year (around 50 games in total). Maybe its just the summer I guess he will suck for another like week or so, thankfully he has relatively easy schedule - no PL matches to think of just for now, zvz vs ZerO and zvp vs Kal being game up. Nothing to worry about
remember how Bisu was kicked out of the MSL during that period?
yes, exactly, but he played a lot more.
Besides he blamed the maps for his losses, which caused a massive hate explosion in the community. JD is playing now half the games KTY did back than and gets all the sympathy in the world "Poor JD, had to play too much". No? His opponents right now are not doing anything extraordinary, in all the games Jaedong lost he just played sloppy and bad, simple as that...
On the other hand he showed no weaknesses in the longer macro orientated game vs Kal, so I wonder if his opponents are not going to just rush the shit out of him in the next weeks or so, to try to exploit his early game mistakes of late. Just like go.go, yellow and zero ganged Bisu with non-standard strategies

i dunno man... when effort came in with almost a control group of zerglings in game 2 when JD didnt even have his pool done yet... kinda looked like a rape to me... it actually looked really painful watching it live... seeing someone with an unbeatable matchup get run over like that...

That its just standard zvz... it was a BO advantage... effort played really good, the best part was on the ramp... he killed 6 JD lings and lost only 3 but like on PvP position its the only thing that matters.

Right now Im thinking GOM: Flash - Which will be cool as then the big three will have won one season each, over their 1.5 year of dominance.
OSL: Jaedong - He would be the third Golden Mouse winner, and become the most accomplished Zerg player of all time.
MSL: Bisu - He would be the first player to ever win 4 MSLs which would be nice.
Then Leta could win WCG Korea, and Effort win PL with CJ, which would give some gold to each of the top 5 players.
Obviously the MSL is still pretty open as 4 of the players are still in it. In GOM there is only Flash and Effort, and in OSL there is Jaedong and Leta. WCG and PL is still wide open.

Get this "then everyone's happy" crap outta here! CJ for PL! EffOrt for GOM/MSL/WCG!

I agree. IIRC, Jaedong 9pooled in the first game, which should have been an easy win against EffOrt's 12hatch (like happened the other way around in the second game), but because he held back the lings, the second hatchery was already available to pump lings when he got there. Jaedong's micro and small-scale decision-making also seemed poor during that battle.
To me, EffOrt's play in both games reminded me a lot of how Jaedong usually wins zvzs: through flawless micro and insightful small-scale decision-making.

What about Canata, why does he always get the short end of the stick.

I know you said Leta, but if you're talking top 5 players, I'm sure you meant fantasy... right?
GOM: EffOrt - I said at some point that the winner of the JD-EffOrt match would take it. Not like that's a ballsy prediction or anything, but yeah, it'll happen. EffOrt is too good, better than Flash.
OSL: fantasy - will finally take the OSL over Leta. He'll 3-2 Jaedong in a great series and prove conclusively that he's the strongest Terran in the game.
That's the ultimate happy predictions; the top 6 players in three finals.
On the other side of things, amazing for EffOrt to take out JD, what a pro. I had a strange, vivid dream right before I woke up that Jaedong had won 2-1. Those dreams always convince me that they're correct, it's weird, sometimes they are. Silly subconscious.
