Not to detract from his performance, but, just to clarify, he was rank 1 GM of HotS *BETA*, not necessarily now.

Bisu #1 HOTS GM? That is huge news. This whole thing puts Bisu in a new light, that he was not just an unhappy failure but rather someone who was put behind in practice by a variety of circumstances and may actually be good at the game o.O.

In Bisu's interview from the PL showmatch even thing, he said he was ranked high in Hots beta but didn't feel very good about it, since he knew he wasn't playing good players at the time. He also said his winrate on ladder thesedays aren't too great. I am excited to see him play this week though, have high hopes for him

My view of the contradiction between what Bisu says in interviews and what Boxer says is that Bisu has a real lack of confidence but has good enough skills(he just hasn't played enough to feel those skills) and Boxer wants to build up Bisu's confidence so he can perform.

sounds like being a coach is far harder than just being a player

and i am curious is there no queries upon what does he think about his ex-SlayerS member doing decently well since moving on

gogo bisu and <3 Boxer. I'm sad to hear he was depressed and dyed his hair because he felt embarrassed it was growing grey. Hopefully HoTS boosts growth of the esport and I hope this time around more of the deserving players get to shine and not just whatever is currently "OP" or favorable from a personality perspective. That is something that has always bothered me with SC2. I feel that lots of times the most skilled or intelligent players ultimately get over shadowed by lesser players whom are simply better media personalities

Yeah, it seems like that to me to, but it's so strange. How can he not have confidence? He's mother fucking Bisu!!! He just needs to watch one of his old BW games where he gets his death stare going on and say: "I'm that guy. I'm scary."

A common problem is many businesses is when someone is perceived as being in one role and then is promoted into management. Most of the people still see them in their previous role and it's hard to accept them as "the boss". I'm wondering if many of the SKT players still see Boxer as "just a player" and less as "their boss". If Boxer isn't as willing to be a hard ass, this just exacerbates the problem.

Can SKT hold up until oov gets back? We'll see. Boxer seriously needs to improve as a coach and manager or things will continue going south.

You really have to be strict and effective with putting your points forward and making people follow you like a teacher if you want kids and young adults to take you seriously. It's pretty hard to do that when you're in Boxer's position because of the reputation, but drastic times call for drastic measures in my opinion.

read the interview correctly please. He said during BETA. during Beta there was no KR server, there was only one beta server. And there is also no date of when he was #1. It could've been way before any top player started playing the beta. So this doesn't say anything about Bisu's skill in Hots, really!

Boxer I feel isn't meant to be a coach I feel at times.Maybe he's not used to the idea yet, but comparing his personality to the likes of Coach Park and Coach Won of Startale, he's too saintly.

Well, they do give a timetable of when Bisu started practicing HotS, in this case 1.5 rounds before the month-long break.

I'm tired of people calling Bisu a scrub and I'm tired of that stupid TL 'Bisu' Award. It's time he shuts eveyone up.

edit: and then Oov will let Fantasy shut every one up

So that's what Boxer meant when he said in Round 3 that Bisu was improving rapidly, and when the opportunity comes for him to play he won't even have time to breathe hahaha.

That's what people sound like when they feel threatened. Imagine always worrying that BruceLeeToss is waiting around the corner to kick him (the non believer) in the face or that BeeSuit is ready to strike at him with his deadly stinger!
