Also I just watched JD vs Baby... OMG WHAT A GAME!!!
JD was EVERYWHERE at once, scourging dropships and vessels, casting swarms and plagues, macroing like a beast and fighting on multiple fronts.

If he keeps this level for a few more weeks, there is no doubt he will get yet another title. Watch your back Nada, the Dong is coming!

Small correction: In the JD vs. Baby game, Baby went 14CC not 1rax expand.

This was a very exciting week of PL. Thanks for the write up. Sucks that the best games came out of SKT losing but I can still get excited about them regardless.

Great write-up, eternal thanks to the PL team for keeping BW alive in our hearts even when there are no games going and when you're too big of a fanboy to watch matches that happen at the same time as your favorite team's!

oh you SKT fans with short memories

I remember that, but nevertheless you bash Bisu in every other one. Whether your issue is with SKT fans or Bisu himself, you do bash him a bit too often.

Lightwip as your SKT predecessor I have to say that although I am a rabid fan of SKT I can see the truth when I hear it from knowledgeable sources and Milkis is no different. Bisu played great that game but not perfect. Zero played better. Bisu's excessive zeal count in the late game was a problem to KidCanada (A- player) and many people watching, and although a few foreign viewers, only one of which was a "good" player, is not necessarily a definitive judgment on his play (who knows why he did that besides him and other pros better than us?) the reason why he lost still lies there.

I want to take this moment to make an aside that thoguh Bisu has been rolling PvZ again it's not because of him playing astoundingly well but moreso because most Zergs don't know how to deal with his new style. Mechanically speaking, Bisu is of course above most Zergs; but a clear counter to his build or a mistake in composition, or in this case both, is the reason why Bisu has hot streaks and not-so-hot streaks. His 70% comes from 1. being mechanically better than Zergs he faces but more importantly 2. being ahead in the metagame. With Zero's recent win, it was shown that there is a clear response to his current approach in PvZ - air supremacy denial with the low mineral cost of scourge, allowing the Zerg to make more static D which prevents the early-game Zealot damage that is typical of BvZ recently. Reminiscent of PvZ of 4-5 years ago, Zealot timing pushes had lost their effectiveness for Bisu in this game due to the Z's educated answer to them, and it seems to be slowly returning. I believe that soon Bisu's vZ winrate will slowly decrease towards one of his usual low points before he can change it up again. It was not a "bashing" of Bisu by any means, but an astute observation on how a dominant player in the match-up got outplayed.

Before you can truly appreciate a player you have to understand their strengths as well as their faults, and it is myopic to claim that any criticisms (obviously well-founded due to the result) are "bashing." Equivalent of calling 9 pool speed a cheese build and just getting frustrated over it instead of learning how to identify and deal with it.

Note: I am only a C Protoss so I might be wrong about things that I am not good enough to know that I am wrong about.

EDIT: Also your biased assertion that Milkis contributes so much to the community through his PL write-ups solely to bash Bisu is one of the most selfish, ignorant, and disrespectful things I have seen in a while and I expect a person who has become more integral to the TL BW scene in terms of contributions to LR/interviews to have a more mature approach to well-constructed criticisms.
