But yeah he was "more bonjwa" than Flash or JD right now.... whatever makes you feel better Lightwip. Whoever invented it, Bisu made it viable. This is something Daezang, Nal_rA, and anyone else involved failed to do. Nada copied a lot from Boxer, but that in no way undermines what he did. It's not the idea, it's the fact that he made it work that counts. | ||

Also, I hope Jaedong does something awesome like 2cm all-in doom drop. User was warned for this post So why isn't nal'rA bonjwa for inventing 12/13/14nex and FFE? Maybe it's because being a bonjwa has little to do with making a change to one matchup, otherwise a lot of people would qualify because of those requirements. "Jaedong and Flash did nothing like this." This is completely made up. Jaedong and Flash have impacted their race overall far more than Bisu has impacted his. | ||

It feels weird to defend Bisu ... but he definitely started the trend of modern PvZ openings, including forge FE (why do certain commentators call every forge FE the "Bisu Build"? They're not totally stupid... there's a good reason for that.) And he played his sair/DT style very well. His other matchups are not really thaaaat revolutionary though, I guess, while Flash/JD have really changed all three matchups they play a lot. But I think Bisu really defined modern PvZ (which was pretty necessary to beat Savior), and should be given credit for such. | ||

Flash and Jaedong completely changed every matchup they play. | ||

Stork was one cannon away from winning the series? His wins in that series were way more impressive than Jaedong's too? Maybe that's what he was trying to say. The series actually felt, to me at the very least, as if some random decent Zerg was playing against Stork and not Jaedong. 1 build order instant win 1 win through sunken spam + major mistake on Stork's part + another ling win because Stork stubbornly refused to build a 2nd cannon. In the 2 games that Stork won he clearly outplayed Jaedong, with JD looking slightly out of it in both games. Of course this is very simplified, but you get my drift. Jaedong won fair and square, but the way he did it wasn't Jaedong-esque at all. Don't even try to compare that to Flash vs Fantasy plz. | ||

Not to speak for him, but I think he probably wanted to say that, as suspected, Stork has the skill required to beat JD, but he choked when it mattered most. | ||

When considering bonjwas that's really what it comes down to. Also I think flash had a longer lasting effect on TvP than Bisu on PvZ. Bisu's biggest innovation was corsair DT, and it sorta got figured out eventually,. now its just another strat that some protoss use every now and then. Flash changed the way terrans approach the entire matchup tho, making it less about vultures kill probes ---> timing push --> probes dead = protoss has less stuff --> win and more about stuff like splitting the map in half, aggressive expansions, and upgrade focused.

Man I hate it when people say this. the forge FE is NOT the bisu build, its been around longer and was considered standard longer than he's been around. The bisu build is forge FE --> mass sairs + DTs. | ||

Might be hard for you though because everyones been relatively inactive this month.How long does it usually take you to write a PR btw? And most importantly, how long after the other semis can we expect it?  | ||
