Man I was wondering when this thread was going to come up! A clash between two proleage monsters with huge fanbases and theres no HYPE?! :O
CJ's Protoss line has been on a tear, which is good cause a PvP is probably their best chance at getting rid of Bisu. I'd rather Ssak get thrown into Beltway for the TvT so that Fantasy has a better chance of nomnoming a Protoss.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. It can obviously go either way, depending heavily I think on sniping/counter sniping.
Some matchups I'm hoping to see are: Bisu vs. Hydra Fantasy vs. Horang2 Afrotoss vs. anybody
If he plays Hydra we might see a new EloPeakvZ. I would like to see him play another race than Zerg, it's not boring, but vP for example would give us more information about his current condition and it is more exciting than vZ, since it seems like a long time I saw his last vP.

Me too. i couldnt wait so i started myself... i finally figured out how them damn uniform thing works! LOL
Been nervously looking forward to this one for a while. CJ have so many snipers that it's going to either take some masterful predictions from Coach Park, or SKT's players are going to have to step up and overcome their respective sniper.
I think if SKT are going to win this one they'll need at least one win from s2 and SoO.

While I probably prefer PvZ to PvP, I'm also interested to see where Bisu is at with his PvP. My gut feel is that it's now his weakest MU, but it will definitely be interesting to see where's his form's at in this MU.
Going into a set against CJ you'd think he would've been practising PvP a lot this week.
This is gonna be such an epic game, I can't wait. I don't know how SKT have been doing recently but CJ have been on a tear with back to back 4-0 wins. But this is starcraft and that means nothing, so GL HF all and let's watch some awesome game! :D
Brought a pile of paperwork into this tiny corner in my office Gonna crunch them and watch Bisu pwning newbs at the same time My colleagues were like "dude are u watching porn?" ... and I'm like "even better" ^^

LOL me too. Taking early lunch and closing the door to savor this epic event! Damn they better not call for some meeting now!
thanks to fold for streaming, first match tvt fanta vs skyhigh. Normally I would go with skyhigh but his tvt is no longer the bonjwa style it once was so this will be interesting. GO GO SKYHIGH FIGHTING!
If SKT are going to win tonight they need to beat some of the snipers sent out against them. CJ are full of snipers, so it's not like you can avoid them all.
Like others I'm surprised that Fantasy was used on Beltway though. Clearly Ssak is out of form and/or favour atm.
SH starting his CC at his nat now Fantasy has a few marines chasing away the scouting scv, SH has a vulture out
bunker made at Fanta's nat, he starts his acadamy
SH going with a starport, he also moves two vultures towards fanta's nat, scv blocking the ramp, but it's destroyed, SH's slow vultures move into the main, they're dealth with by scvs though
Fantasy has his starport up now, SH has two starports
As a KT fan, I'm confused. Should I cheer for the lesser evil, CJ, or give up on the #1 spot dreams and just hope SKT beats CJ to improve KT's chances of securing #2?
Fantaskeet severely caught out of position; his tank line sieged up in a column at the 12 o'clock position gets flanked by Skyhigh's army from the south while a frontal attack from the east cleans up the mess.
Skyhigh loses some SCVs to the 4 gol drop, but sensing a lack of gols, 8 cloaked wraiths kill all the gols and most of the tanks in the middle of the map
Icarus next, I expect either a ZvZ or Bisu sent out to try and snipe a zerg. That wouldn't be that prudent against a CJ zerg though, better to just send Soo IMO.

I'd rather say SKT coach was dumb to send Fantasy first. Fantasy is great against protoss, and SKT will have to deal with 3 protoss tonight. Should have sent Ssak imo. Or even a zerg to pool5. Fantasy's good TvT, but who doesn't know Skyhigh got his number ?

You've gotta question the thinking there from Coach Park. You know Skyhigh has a great record against Fantasy, you know Fantasy has been inconsistent recently in TvT and on Beltway, so why send him out?

It's possible Fantasy took it personal and wanted to end his losing streak against Skyhigh.

Maybe he argued his case really well, but I'd be surprised if that was the case and coaching staff agreed to it. The team > personal rivalries (at least IMO).

Yea but come on, what was that from Fantasy? He's not that bad in TvT either, but that was nothing, whether aggresive nor defensive not even well conceived. Looked like he does not even want to play and lost before the match.

Let's be honest, Fantasy's earned a certain amount of faith, especially when it comes to Ace matches. Hindsight's a wonderful thing, but I still would've expected Coach Park to show a bit of wisdom and try and avoid as many snipes as possible. For me that's the key to beating CJ - force their snipers to play the other two races they're inevitably much weaker against.

But you quoted a statement that doesn't refer to that game. It was irrelevant. Anyway Ssak vs Leta gogogo!
Leta trying to force his way in with a vulture, 2 marines hold off the vulture though, can't say the same for Leta's ramp as a vulture breaks into leta's main and starts attacking the mineral line, scvs kill the vulture though
Leta getting his second vulture into Ssak's main, that vulture is also dealth with by scvs
acadamy going up for Leta as wraiths come out of the starport

2port wraith vs 2port wraith, Leta lands a rax in Ssak's base. While the wraiths are dancing and microing and stuffs Leta secretly builds a firebat and sends it to the mineral line, nets 4 kills and weakens some SCVs so Leta's wraiths kill them faster.

fantasy never fails to disappoint. he's the player I like the most out of SKT, but he's just so...meh. he's very talented, but also at losing games. like runs out of steam or walks into a brick wall every other game.
Movie engaging yet again, Mutas snipe a reaver, but he's lot a few hydras
Movie with a formidable force of zealots/goons/hts with sair support
Soo is spread a little thin, storms thin our Soo's army further, scourge arrive to snipe a few sairs, zealots are all dead and the goons are forced to retreat again the hydras
HTs storm a few more, hydras are reduced, shuttle brings in the reaver and momentum has reversed
Soo bringing in the mutas again, Storm over the hydras and Soo loses almost everything!
Should've researched drop tech, dropped the island expo Should've engaged with all of his forces instead of half at a time Should've expo'd during contain

Bisu vs. Hydra/Horang2 coming up. Too much hesitation from Soo. . . If you're gonna 3-base things, you need to turn the aggression up. He just waited for Movie to secure four bases and roll out
CJ making this look rather easy. I was surprised SoO didn't at least try and push with his Hydras in the early-mid. No harm in knocking on the door and pulling out if required.
Letting Movie get to 3 bases so easily (and early) was always going to spell trouble.
Bisu vs Hydra inc? If Bisu takes Hydra... CJ has Snow, Horang2, BByong vs SKT1's Sun/Rain, s2, BeSt, Hyuk. Crazier things have happened, gogo SKT1 comeback!

Stupid philosophy. It's not how they do. It's how you do. And SKT should be severely shamed by their performance today.
Agreed. True CJ are on fire atm, but SKT have been top of the league for large parts of the season. Show some pride lads, it's one thing to be beaten - no shame in that - it's another thing to be smashed.
It just doesn't make sens to try to contain a protoss like that when he's got a third in main on an island, right? Very strange preparation from the skt players today.
If the rest of skt get their shit together, they have a bigger chance to pull through. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of faith that this will happen...

Coach Park is about as predictable as Fantasy. I swear those two are related.......There's no point trying to apply logic to these guys lol.
Hydra has the least chance of taking down Bisu out of those three but he still can.
It's not that we forgot about that game. It's just that we remember his most recent game vs Jaedong. Vividly.
Hydra is not Jaedong... that's not an argument. Some players just have a stranglehold on others, Hydra could be Bisu's new Shine for all we know.
But we'll get to see Horang2 vs. Bisu instead.
And for all we know, he could be Bisu's new Jaedong, i.e. his bitch. That's no argument either.
What I am saying is that Bisu taking down JD has no bearing on his ability to take down Hydra. But whatever, we can't accurately predict anything either way. They both have good ZvP and PvZ respectively.
Bisu should have came on top during engagement on bridge with 1/3 of his army left ,instead, after sniping shuttle with 2 reavers he flys with both his shuttles into goons, sure they were empty but wth was that for, and continued to A attack instead of microing.
Bisu shuttle dropping horang2's 4th, scores a few probes
OH NO, bisu's reavers are stuck without a shuttle, they're sniped by zealots
Horang2 hitting Bisu's 4th! They change directions and hit the nat instead
Horang2 with an overhwleming force, bisu's fighting at the nat, bisu arrive from the back, but it's not enough against the goons and archons, bisu microing his units hard, he's holding off the attack
Bisu on the attack, he's attacking that inner 5 o clock
Bisu seems to be winning! horang2 microing that reaver and shuttle furiously! Bisu's units have fallen to reinforcements though, and the nexus is still standing
Bisu sent probes for a last ditch attack! Horang2 had so many archons but they fell but he still won the battle because he had a DT and Bisu had no obs! Bisu then GGs! CJ cleans sweep 4-0 SKT!
My mouth was agape during the latter half of the game. Horang2's PvP is just a class above. Macro, Micro, sense, positioning. Incredible how he just wins EVERY engagement, even with lower supply.
Sad that T1 got cleaned out, really happy that Bisu is showing his old PvP brilliance again. Horang's PvP is in a whole other league though. Well played!
that was a ridiculously good game. I think I'm a Horang2 fan from now on.
So many great decisions from Horang2. After he lost his nat, he postured for a last ditch attack, while double expanding and using high ground and the bridge to defend against Bisu's inevitable attack, and using some ridiculous micro even after losing 2 reavers in a shuttle and still coming out on top of that engagement. Even after that, he kept overcoming a numerical disadvantage through sheer micro and positioning. I don't even know how not only did he stay alive, he was gaining and advantage as well!!
Apart from a slight gaff while trying to attack up a ramp and another base at the same time where his army got significantly stormed, Horang2's decision making and micro was superb.

This was like the closest game ever and the analysis sounds like a one-sided domination. Not that Horangd idnt play awesome, but Bisu did as well.

It wouldnt have been this close if he really was a class above :-p He almost lost the game on decision making/positioning when he dropped Bisu's main with 2 shuttles, and lost his nat in the counterattack. Then Bisu got overconfident, lost one maxed engagement, but then he held Horang2 in small-scale engagements constantly, which, coupled with his harass (nonexistent on Horang2's part) evened the game again.

Nop. BeSt most incredible matchup was, and still is, TvP. At the time of BeSt, he was not that incredible in PvP. His vT was just mind blowing though.
Best's PvP until 23-10-2008, where he lost in the quarterfinals of Incruit OSL against Stork: TLPD 31 wins - 11 losses (73.81%) And a 18 game winstreak including the first game against Stork in said set.
lol SKT isn't perfect. Relax, still in first place.
It was just a bad day and besides, Bisu finally showed his PvP brilliance again. Now if he can win one more vZ or vT, maybe he can eclipse his vZ ELO and also his vT ELO.
I'm lost for words on Fantasy though. No words can describe how big of a disappointment his PL performance are.

This was like the closest game ever and the analysis sounds like a one-sided domination. Not that Horangd idnt play awesome, but Bisu did as well.
The only reason this wasn't a one-sided domination, was due to the half base trade. Bisu gained a huge advantage on 2 bases versus 1, but after that Horang2 played amazingly. His micro was absolutely fantastic as he overcame disadvantage after disadvantage. For example, the first major engagement, Horang2 lost 2 reavers in a shuttle, making it 4 reavers vs 2, and he still comes out on top. He engages with 10-20 less supply and still wins engagements in the latter part of the game. He engages with no storms and still wins engagements.
My point is, Horang2 made a few errors from which Bisu should have been able to win the game from. His 2 bases vs 1 should have been gg, but somehow, Horang2 microed his way out of basically every single disadvantageous PvP position possible basically.
I guess Winechu's statement should read, "Horang2's PvP is just a class above After he lost his Nat Nexus . Macro, Micro, sense, positioning. Incredible how he just wins EVERY engagement, even with lower supply

I think that the killing of the nexus was a little misleading. bisu had to sacrifice a large part of his army so that when both stabilized, horang2 had a bigger army. also he already had a lot of the probes still so it is not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be

I agree, but I thought my post implied I was referring to the latter half of the game. I think Bisu was in an advantageous position going into the engagement, he was maxed and sniped the shuttle with 2 reavers prior, but Horang2 simply micro-ed better. I'm not saying that Bisu played terrible, but I'm saying Horang2 put himself in a losing position but them redeemed himself by playing perfectly after that. It reminds me of... Flash? Especially the clutch defence. Maybe there's a bit of hyperbole in my post, but you'll have to excuse me because it was a really epic game.

I haven't said Bisu's slumping again or wasn't performing (especially if you compare him to Kal lol ;d). But I promise you that as a Bisu fan, it was very painful to see him losing to ZerO only to see Jaehoon beating ZerO a few days later.

I do think I know a thing or two about fanboyism leading to pain, and Bisu losing to ZerO seems rather inconsequential to me, especially seeing how ZerO's potential does skyrocket only to fall down again. The game of Bisu and ZerO was great from both sides. (And yes, I'm still a huge Bisu anti-fan). If you look at the games of Kal or Calm, on the other hand...
But I can never be claim to be as hurt as Savior fans, so I'll rather shut up now.

Sorry but I must say this: you must be blind.
That's not very nice. Please explain how you disagree. I agree completely with his analysis. Horang2 played amazingly.
This was like the closest game ever and the analysis sounds like a one-sided domination. Not that Horangd idnt play awesome, but Bisu did as well.
The only reason this wasn't a one-sided domination, was due to the half base trade. Bisu gained a huge advantage on 2 bases versus 1, but after that Horang2 played amazingly. His micro was absolutely fantastic as he overcame disadvantage after disadvantage. For example, the first major engagement, Horang2 lost 2 reavers in a shuttle, making it 4 reavers vs 2, and he still comes out on top. He engages with 10-20 less supply and still wins engagements in the latter part of the game. He engages with no storms and still wins engagements.
My point is, Horang2 made a few errors from which Bisu should have been able to win the game from. His 2 bases vs 1 should have been gg, but somehow, Horang2 microed his way out of basically every single disadvantageous PvP position possible basically.
I guess Winechu's statement should read, "Horang2's PvP is just a class above After he lost his Nat Nexus . Macro, Micro, sense, positioning. Incredible how he just wins EVERY engagement, even with lower supply
I think that the killing of the nexus was a little misleading. bisu had to sacrifice a large part of his army so that when both stabilized, horang2 had a bigger army. also he already had a lot of the probes still so it is not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be
I'll need to check the vod for this, but it seemed like at the end of that sequence were 2 goons on either side hitting each other. ie. both armies were decimated. I think that missing nexus was huge in the mentality of both players.

Agree it was a great game from both sides, which is why it was painful to watch for me . Bisu didn't seem to do many mistakes, he played well, did big damage with his storm drops, and still seemed that he couldn't do anything.

It was his choice of strategy that did him in. He's become predictable, hella strong, but predictable. Seeing every Zerg lose to him basically no matter what kind of strategy they employ made me an anti-fan in the first place. Pushing out later or going for Reavers instead of DT-s for a change might have shaken Zero up a bit more.

My logic is that I was talking about my pain having been bigger than yours, and yet I know nothing about pain till I'm betrayed as badly as SaviOr fans were. I can talk about pain, but I shouldn't really be talking about how my pain "hurts" more.

I don't get why people are saying CJ sniped in ALL four match ups. Last time ssak was sent to snipe Leta and so what if soo and ssak are no names, blame the bo7 set up.
Also not sure why people are thinking they can bury this thread when people who didn't watch the match are waking up to check the LR thread.
Unfortunate, but CJ does often get the better of SKT in games that aren't playoffs games. And CJ is ranked #2 now, wow. If they had Effort, they'd probably be doing even better. SKT's rookies(and Fantasy, who is sometimes a rookie) need to really step it up.
Tired and sleepy, I slowly opened this thread and clicked the "results" tab.
And then I just... kinda laughed. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but this was literally the last thing I could have expected. Even Oov coming out to play against Neo_G.Bonjwa with a new anti-queen strategy would have been less unexpected... well k not really. But it kinda just blew my mind in my tired state... gotta check that Horang2 game out later.

Guys please lets stop it already. Lets get out of this god awful thread and let this drown in the abyss of TL archives... PLEASE
those who missed it will be checking results and making comments, this thread won't die so easily. SKT getting floored will probably also get a mention in the SPL write up.

That can never change for me! SKT beats CJ when it counts....in the playoffs where the whole team seems to choke. Gotta lose some every once in a while. Bisu needs more PvP practice anyway. WP CJ.
CJ just ruling. I think CJ have the strongest line-up right now in terms of the number of solid players, although they do lack that superstar ace that other top teams have (SKTs Bisu/Fantasy and KTs Flash). It's probably why CJ are so much better at this format and considerably weaker in winners league.

You are. Actually Horang2's play in this game simply blew my mind. Aside from the questionable decision making that cost him his nat (that was already later than Bisu's) early in the game he just seemed to be able to find ways to win every single engagement later on. Especially his clutch defense of the midmap expo. 1 reaver/shuttle + 1 cannon against archon+zealots? Blew my mind. His PvP had the odd-defying effect similar to Flash's TvT which then made it really mind-boggling of how he could be knocked out of the MSL by a Protoss rookie.

WOWOWOW... Crazy results... CJ is really on a tear these days! Great matchups for CJ (Horang2 PvP, Skyhigh TvT) I'm shocked that SKT got 4-0'd, though... I would have thought at least n.die_soO (who has been looking solid lately) could have taken a game off Movie, but I guess not...

Bisu should have all-killed CJ easily, he just didn't care about the match because he must care for his hair which is a much more important matter for the esport scene.
If he had unleashed his real power the whole CJ team would have surrendered in fear without resistance.

LOL? Movie's PvZ was his best mu, and he played against a zerg on a non-zerg favored map. Leta's TvT has 60% winrate on tlpd and ssak is... well, ssak. You can blame skt coach for not sending best if you want to, but I wouldn't send BeSt on a zerg favored map like icarus either. On the other hand, CJ could just send hydra on icarus and "snipe" ssak with hydra (I'm talking about sniping ssak? really? cj b teamers can give him a good game actually). Fantasy vs skyhigh is just so spot on. The guy beat fantasy in both skt vs cj games in last years playoffs and it was not even that close. Bisu vs Horang2? Well, SKT sent a bisu into an obvious horang2.
I felt like the name is cho after seeing the lineups.

Nop. BeSt most incredible matchup was, and still is, TvP. At the time of BeSt, he was not that incredible in PvP. His vT was just mind blowing though.
To be honest though, as a whole matchup, is it THAT impressive? He's very good in just one particular lategame macro situation of PvT but struggles when it's anything else, that's what it seems like to me anyway.

I'd say Snow is better than he was a year ago, he usually wins PvP and PvZ is no longer an auto-loss. His overall record is only weaker because he's not playing as many PvTs.
Best PvP I have seen in ages. The turning point was when Horang2 sniped the shuttle with two reavers in it, and Bisu deciding to go all in twice in response to Horang2's earlier 5th instead of expanding. Amazing harass from Bisu kept him in the game till the very end.
Horang2's army composition and upgrade were slightly ahead of Bisu at all points. When Bisu was goon heavy, Horang2 produced more zealots. When Bisu was zealot heavy, Horang2 focused on Archons.

Well Bisu couldn't really expand to a Fifth as safely as Horang2 could, he could only really expand if he had an army advantage of sorts, but they were pretty much dead-even all game long.
