Pet's been around. Never had a breakout moment but he was (and is, apparently) fairly good. I'm sure he'll accomplish more in SC2 than Bisu ever will. Whether this actually involves a deep run in the GSL or not, we'll have to wait and see.
Bisu only has several wins to his name in HotS thus far. I would be more surprised if he was able to get a really hot streak going.

I wonder what expressin you will make when you realize Bisu probally never will make an impact again?
After three years, you finally made it through a qualifiers. How do you feel?
I feel glad. But it's not this humongous glad feeling. I think I have to get past the Challenge League in order to really feel happy.
During all this time, you were unable to fully bring out your potential during qualifiers.
I go so angry. If I had become too lax and used to losing then I probably would have just straight up retired. But I still wanted to play so I just kept on going for it. Even if people around me were saying things like, "oh, he hasn't retired yet?" I didn't get embarrassed at myself and I knew that I was still going to keep on going for it.
How come you were performing so poorly?
It's because I suck (laughs). First off, it was difficult to adapt to WoL and I almost came to hate playing the game during the transition period. I just wanted to play BW. Honestly, during the beginning of the WoL era, the game was no fun and I kept contemplating as to whether or not I should retire. Everyone else adapted instantly but I just wandered around for too long. I did think about retiring, but I knew that retiring was something that I could do whenever I wanted to so I decide to lay it all on the line and just went for it. But even doing that just wasn't enough (laughs).
You haven't made your presence known in forever. How have you been during all this time?
In April of 2011 until September of 2011, I was too ill to play. I was feeling so horrible that I even though that I could be dying. My neck hurt and I couldn't breathe so I had to keep going back to the hospital for over a year but no matter how many times I got examined, I was always told that there was nothing wrong. That period was really difficult. Thanks to that, my hands got paralyzed and I lost a lot of weight. For three to four months, I was unable to use my right hand. I was so jealous whenever I would observe everyone else playing the game.
I lost so much weight that I weighed 46kg and at one point, people kept saying that I was nothing but bones. We still hadn't been able to find the source of my illness so I just kept getting more and more stressed. And then one day, the hospital told me that I would never be able to use my hand ever again and I was horrified. I'm not sure if I should say something like this but during that time I really just wanted to die. But then I got treatment from a really famous place and I was able to recover. I can laugh about it now but back then it was incredibly difficult.
You were unable to be sent out for the Proleague lineup and had to keep observing from the bench.
I attempted an SC2 tournament about twice but I lost pathetically in ZvZs. I worked really hard during preparation but I allowed a comeback during a good situation so my frustration was huge. I was removed from the roster and everything around me just got more and more difficult. But then I started exercising and my body became better. Aside from church days, I would always exercise no matter what and I would also mind control myself.
HotS was a fresh start for everyone.
When I heard that HotS was going to get released I was so glad. HotS was still relatively similar to WoL but everyone had to begin from the same starting line so I liked that part. I'm also not on the young side so I really wanted to grab this opportunity. I don't want to have any regrets so even right now, I'm still going for it.
How did you feel when you saw that final GG appear?
I felt so good. I felt so good that I was about to release all control of my hands. From a long time ago, oDin hyung would tell me that he would love it if I could get through a qualifiers but I was never able to meet his expectations. But since I was able to get through today, just thinking about how happy oDing hyung could get makes me feel so good.
This season's goals?
I want to qualify for the OSL and partake in the group nominations no matter what. I always lost in the finals so I was never able to go to the group nominations. I want to experience it no matter what (laughs).
Anything else you would like to say?
I want my family to remain strong and I want to let my father know that I love him.
