Introduction
Bisu is Hope.

Hope for Protoss since the dark ages of the Terran reign. Hope that the dominion of sAviOr and his ilk over Protoss would cease . Bisu is, after all, the Revolutionist. His is a bloodline not of the Khala and its brightest sons, Tassadar and Artanis (Stork and JangBi), but that of Zeratul and the legacy of the Void. His annihilation of the Maestro marked the beginning of the modern era, not just of PvZ but of Broodwar as a whole. He is the First Dragon.

Nevertheless, doubt lingers. The glory of his race has always been fleeting. Despite their vaunted psionic power, the Protoss are a dying race. They were not made to change themselves like the Zerg, to assimilate others for evolution. They were not made to reproduce and survive like the Terran, building ingenious craft for war.

But they were made to endure. And in the midst of darkness and despair, hope shines all the brighter.

Objectives

Ro4-Finals

As the only Golden Badge holder in this group, Bisu is a perennial contender in the MSL. However, the past few years have been unkind to Kim Taek Yong. He has stood in the shadows while his Terran and Zerg peers have taken title after title. Even after monstrous surges in Proleague, he has not tasted individual league success since his Batoo OSL run. The time is ripe. Bisu has revitalized the race, has begun conquering his demons, and is on the warpath. The people (Protoss) sing the song of angry men. It is time for another revolution.

Analysis

Bisu is the current hottest progamer right now (in more ways than one). Having won the Winner's League title for his team by defeating Jaedong and Flash successively, his momentum is as high as it ever will be. Moreover, this is his best chance to defeat Flash in an individual league. Historically, his PvT series play has shown vulnerability. Specifically he crashed and burned against Fantasy, Iris, and Mind. Since Flash is the best PvTer currently - as well as of all time - he has reason to be worried. On the other hand, a single match against him will not eliminate Bisu outright. Bisu can afford to lose to Flash the first game, and win against Sea and Jaedong. What he cannot afford is to lose to Flash and for Flash to lose the winner's game, forcing him to win against Flash to stay in the MSL.

The first map is Monte Cristo, a new and untested PvT map. Look for Bisu to play strategically hoping for a quick win. Some map features favor Carriers, and if Bisu is honest with his personal assessment of Carrier micro, then he can still take it to late game and win. If he gets the win, then odds are high that he defeats his next opponent and moves on as the first seed. If he doesn't, he still has a good chance of advancing as long as Flash wins his next game.

Not So-Historical Representative

Bisu is Alexander the Great. Having used Phalanxes (DTs) and cavalry (Corsairs) to conquer most of the known world (PvZ), he is one of the greatest generals of history. He revolutionized ancient warfare, and put together one of the largest empires in history. His Hellenic education also made him an honourable warrior (all Protoss are honourable warriors). However, he died at an early age due to hubris (probably too much of a pretty boy). Must be wary of elephants (Tanks).
