Secondly, I think FBH is too high. GGplay needs more credit and Sea is a muppet who should be blasted from the top 10. | ||

I was always giving the upper hand to GGplay, I was just pipe dream hoping FlaSh would come up with something brilliant but oh well, I'm not that disappointed or surprised. It was pretty close tho. The first game was pretty disappointing from both sides, but especially Flash. He really should have been more careful on a map like Monghwa. The game could easily have become a drawn-out, interesting game, but instead it turned into a rush, and Flash is to blame, not GGplay, that it ended so early. Then again, it kinda seemed as if Flash just couldn't stand the map at all, maybe he had his own private objections to it, I dunno. GG play. -Mynock | ||

To be honest I never heard Bisu's name before I read the first Power Ranking few month ago. I just reread it, Etter mentioned that he has great potential but lost to Goodfriends can't be condoned. After that Bisu disappear from PR for few month and come back to place the second slot in PR. Within half year Bisu win 2 MSL title in one row. That is amazing. | ||

For those attacking Ra, he is not the hottest player atm, but watch the games from the past. He's a hero of pimpest plays along Boxer. And I'm so happy with Iris on place 3! Gogogo, berserker terran! | ||

Game 4 was ugly as well. Reaver + shuttle >> reaver and Bisu should've known that. Nevertheless, I still consider Bisu to be a better player overall. Etter pointed precisely that Bisu is the only toss in the world atm who can be given at least even odds with pretty much anyone.

Goon with range >>> Goon without Range, Stork should know it as well. Where is the DA from stork? Everyone make mistakes, I think Stork make more mistakes so he lose the 5th game. The stasis was not lucky. That is his purpose to use it in the battle. To be honest I could not make any judgment about storm in the game 5. There are too many storms going on in the whole game. But somehow Bisu win more battles than stork. | ||

However, Bisu withstood the pressure and Bisu made less of the game deciding mistakes. I think Etter said best himself ... Bisu's the Champion. It could have gone either way, but in my mind that's a damned good reason to credit Bisu, as when he was at a disadvantage, held his nerves and played the game winning move. The hallmark of a true champion and someone in blazing form. Agreed. It is very close game and could go either way. But I don't think there is so much lucky factor in the 5th game. It dependent whether you can hold the pressure and come back if you are in disadvantage. | ||

He's the ultimate champion, to win Game-5 like that.. Bisu is simply amazing, a perfect champion. Stork played amazing of course.. If Iris wins OSL I'd place Stork #3, if GGPlay wins OSL I'd place Stork #2 :-) I know what you're thinking BUT GGPlay isn't Zerg perfection, I'd still give him even odds to lose a Bo3 set against any good player, or even Proleague matches (while I'd give both Bisu and Stork a very high 80%+ chance to take almost any set), GGPlay has the guts and will of a champion, but he's no Bisu imo. I love GGPlay for his spirit, but I don't think he's the kind of player that can.. for example, win 2 titles in a row, or make it to two finals in a row. But its about time he gets his title shot, and he well earned it! | ||

No, these cases are different. Forgetting goon range in a storm-based and intense PvP is a slightly important thing that, while having some effect on the game, is theoretically possible to go unnoticed. Forgetting to build a shuttle for your reaver is impossible to get unnoticed, it's like forgetting to get goons at all. What I'm saying is that in game 4 Bisu played like a D-level player who doesn't even know that the most standard protoss build involved a reaver in a shuttle that will fly to his base at a certain time and kill all of his army. That is precisely what happened. It's not that Bisu forgot something, he was caught with his pants down with the most basic thing in the protoss book, which is, imho, untolerable for a player of his level. Game 2 was a brilliant display of an unusual strategy and godzilla firepower, surely a must watch, but game 4 was a disgrace to progaming that shouldn't have happened. | ||

Take home point being: I doubt Stork had as good of a shot as he thought in games 1 and 3, Bisu made some really bad choices that gave Stork a good shot of winning games 2 and 4 (but Stork also took advantage of them, especially in game 2). Oh, and it's hard to argue that Bisu's stasis was luck when you consider the fact that he outmined his final expansion way ahead of Stork and had arbiters far more quickly than Stork. The reason he was able to abuse it in the first place without eating a stasis himself is because he had two and Stork had one (also, why did Stork not get a stasis in on Bisu's army after his unstasised? He could have potentially trapped most of Bisu's army and united his army that had been stasised with his remaining army. I half suspect he didn't research it, or he messed up on an epic scale and lost his chance to salvage an abysmal battle). | ||

Also we must assume iris probably wouldnt be in the finals if stork knew how to play vs 2 fact terran. | ||
