Bisu raped Hiya and Jaedong, Bisu #1 plz

lol, nope. That map is imbalanced. It had nothing to do with Bisu being better than Jaedong.

i expected this result, Bisu's best mu on a map that actually favors toss. He used the map really well. The first PR rank is decided at least.

Since there's nothing else to separate them, i think putting bisu first is ok.
However;
Somewhat unfair for jaedong.

Bisu's best vs jaedongs worst, on a slightly imbalanced map.

It wasn't a rape, both players played awesome, 1-2 more hts sniped by mutas and it wo0uld have turned around.

It was best of 1, and when they had their Bo5 all games were pretty onesided, what conclusion do you draw from this?

jaedong lost for a couple of reasons. 'map imba' is not chief among them.

a key point is obviously his decision to build a group of mutas and go templar hunting, this had an impact in several key ways:

he could not produce a hydra army big enough to prevent the toss ball from securing a third, killing the lings jd had sent to shut it down.
bisu's dragoon heavy army, good storms and good templar evasion prevented him from sniping enough templars to make the muta gambit worth it in and of itself.
jaedong was busy controlling his mutas when bisu stormed his hydras, 2 storms hit very hard, killing about as many hydras as would fit under them before jaedong noticed.

this got jaedong in a position where he was unable to spare the units or attention to deny the toss 4th and ultimately to hold his own 4th.

the obs sniping and bisu electing to fight hydras with pure goon rather than reinforcing both delayed things, but ultimately bisu gained too much from jaedongs mutas and the 4 overlords he got at the start.
