And it seems like Kingdom and Bisu don't really have a good relationship. He had nothing good to say about Bisu nor did he give any encouragement.
edit: lol, i read over it and kingdom did say he was great at multitasking and it's not the whole thing so kingdom might've sounded nicer in the other parts
On the contrary, Kingdom is the most SKT biased commentator evarrrr Whenever bisu played and he commentated he would hype bisu up so hard it would come to a point where it was ridiculous. The same applies with rA as he would get so pumped whenever Flash wins lol.
The tone of this discussion was not 'omg bisu iz inferior', if you watch the video and understand korean (I know you guys can't I'm sorry I couldn't deliver this onto the OP it's really hard ) it was Kingdom being really worried for bisu; like a father watching his son fall apart after losing his mary jane.
And about the harsh language; cultural differences. He isn't saying this in bad blood, rather a constructive criticism type language. If I try to tone it down a little the whole thing would lose meaning

No, not really. He showed how powerful sair/dt and forge expanding came be and therefore popularized it but it was really DaezanG and rA who invented them. These two had limited success at changing the metagame with these builds because rA was too inconsistent and too busy being the dreamer to actually push the idea of forge expanding forward and DaezanG lacked the mechanics to pull off sair/dt correctly.
This is a really interesting discussion about Bisu... in particular, I hope that Stork continues to play strongly, to show the starcraft world that you don't need to practice 12 hours a day on mechanics to be competitive, but come up with good strategies. This is only based on Stork's recent interviews where he reads manga/plays wow
BeSt could be really brilliant in practice but another safe player in live games, as he is also a very mechanical player. Another option is that while it seems like BeSt does 1 build per year he might have a lot of subtle build order changes and improvements. Maybe he is the one who adapts and figures out the other gamers build orders and makes refinements and Bisu just uses what BeSt gives him. Just speculation of course, which I guess unless someone actually asks Kingdom that's about all we can do in regards to that comment.

Stork's recent interviews are saying he practices all night...
