Kim Taek-yong Biography

Kim Taek-yong is one of the most popular and richest Pro Gamer who was born on November 3, 1989 in Yesan County, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea.

Bisu’s matchup against Protoss players is statistically in the middle between Zerg and Terran and could be traced back to 2005. From then and until February 2006 he had been in a 3-loss streak against Protoss players and played with intermittent success until the matchup with Nal rA. In February 2007 Bisu achieved a 3-win streak against him, which contributed to Bisu’s uninterrupted 6-win streak against Protoss in the same year.

Having participated in high-level competitive matchups since 2006, Bisu made his breakthrough at the 2007 MBCgame Starleague (MSL) final, defeating experienced players Nal_rA and sAviOr, both 3:0. At that time Bisu was one of the few Starleague Protoss players. He qualified for the 2007 MSL automatically for having received a KeSPA distinction as the best Protoss player. Prior to the breakthrough match with sAviOr, which is sometimes referred to as “March 3rd revolution”, Protoss players generally underperformed against Zerg. However, this was soon to change. During Bisu’s preparations for the match with sAviOr, the MBCGame HERO coaching staff, as well as Protoss and Zerg players gave Bisu some ideas. The general advice was to use Corsair units to eliminate Zerg Overlords, narrowing Zerg’s observation. Bisu’s effective execution of this strategy found great success. Following Bisu’s victory, several players started to emulate his winning Corsair–Dark Templar combination to fight Zerg opponents.

Along with Corsair and Shuttle harass, Bisu’s multitasking and Zealot timing rushes are considered standard for his matches against Zerg players. During the 2011 Shinhan Winners League match against Zerg player Peace, in particular, Bisu dispatched Zealots to Peace’s two bases at different locations while eliminating Overlords with his Corsairs; after this split Bisu focused his Zealots on eliminating Peace’s Drones while micromanaging his Corsairs to evade opponent’s Scourges, making it seem as if four different persons were playing for Protoss.

In the fall of 2008 Zerg players adopted a three-base five-Hatchery strategy against Protoss and nearly all attempts to counter it failed. Protoss players had particular difficulty using Zealots against Hydralisks in a choke battle as the Zealots could not spread out effectively, while Hydralisks could clump easily, not allowing Zealots to take advantage of their speed upgrade. Bisu managed to successfully use speed-upgraded Zealots to obtain map control and engage the Hydralisks before they reach mass numbers. While other professional Protoss players have around a 60% win ratio against Zerg, Bisu’s ratio against that race reached over 90% in the 2010–2011 competition season. During the 2010–2011 Shinhan Bank Proleague Bisu also achieved the largest number of wins. In the past, however, Bisu was not particularly favored against any good Zerg player. On April 2, 2011 Bisu, having defeated Jaedong in the Shinhan Winners League playoff, broke what he called “a vicious cycle” of his Protoss versus Zerg gameplay. He once revealed, that only after learning the skill of combining different units (i.e. ground, air, high templars, reavers) he began to enjoy playing against Zerg.
