Everything about Kim Taek-yong totally explained
Kim Taek-Yong (born in
South Korea on
3 November, 1989), better known by the pseudonym
Bisu[Shield], is a relatively new player in the South Korean
StarCraft e-Sports scene. On September 2007, he was ranked first in the world by
KeSPA, making Taek-yong the first
Protoss player to be ranked first in the KeSPA Player Rankings. He is also known in the StarCraft Progaming community as Bruce Lee Toss (due to his likeness to the martial arts actor and the race that he plays as (Protoss)).
Team
Bisu started his progaming career being part of
MBCGame Hero, a South Korean
Starcraft: Broodwar e-Sports team sponsored by
MBCGame, a subsidiary of
MBC Plus which is a company owned by the
Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, one of four major
South Korean television and radio networks.
In February 2008 Bisu transferred to rival team
SK Telecom T1 for a transfer sum rumored to be around 200,000 US dollars.
Bisu was initially recruited onto
MBCGame Hero (known then as Pirates of Space) in early 2005 to combat the lack of
Protoss players on the team. Bisu started playing teamplay games for his team, before moving onto individual matches.
Success
In March 2007, at the GOMTV MBCGame Star League (MSL) Season 1 grand finals, Bisu beat the number one ranked player and heavy favorite,
sAviOr, by a score of 3-0, shocking the StarCraft world. In May 2007, Bisu won the
Blizzard Entertainment World Wide Invitational, defeating sAviOr for a second time in the finals with a 2-1 score. In July 2007, Bisu defeated the rising Protoss star Stork 3-2 to earn his second GOMTV MSL final. This earned Bisu the distinction of being the first
Protoss gamer to win two MSLs in a row. However, in November 2007 Bisu lost to InteR.Mind with a score of 1-3.
Bisu is also famous for his consistency in scouting and his use of Dark Templars, as well as for innovating new, different
build orders, dubbed the "Bisu Build" by his fans. Bisu also became the first Protoss gamer to be ranked #1 by the Korean e-Sports Association (KeSPA), a title he held until March of 2008.
