It's only natural that the best players go to GSL currently, it's the best tournament for sc2, period. I don't think he's going there to win but to qualify and more importantly, to improve. Playing in Korea and in GSL helps improving. So even if he doesn't win much, he still gains in skill.

if he goes to gsl, he should learn how to scout....but it's his waste of time, not mine

Go sjow!
The more foreigners the merrier. If we send our best players there more will qualify. Just need to send Dimaga, Select, Kiwikaki, Socke, DeMuslim aswell! And more!

IDK what the hell the majority of you guys are talking about, take a look at his matchlist here: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/1777_SjoW/games#tblt-6107-2-1-DESC

Indeed. Also check out Gosu Gamers match database. Although you cannot view results in single games it makes up for it by having a more complete set of matches than TLPD.

like "Show"


Actually no. It's more like "shof" with the "of" part pronounced exactly how you would pronounce the word "of".

That sounds like "shove" to me


Kinda like a weirdly pronounced "shove".

In English it's actually pronounced "Show" I've asked him many times when casting his games.

So wait, is Beard trolling us when he pronounces it "ho"? I'm so confused.

Gotta love Sjows choice of nick!

Anyways in Sweden phonology, "sj" can sound differently depending on which dialect you use and in which context its written, thereby spawning this flurry of confusion.

For example, most swedes I know choose to pronounce his name as "Tchow". + Show Spoiler +
Here using the ɕ sound, similar to the beggining of "chair" but with a t in front, i.e. "tch". Sound example of ɕ..


The latter part is definitely pronounced as "ho" though, the slang for American prostitutes.


I knew him when he made that nickname and I'm 99% sure it's pronounced as "show".

As for those who doubt his ability right now, you should see the hours he puts into laddering. I don't believe many people on the EU servers are playing that much. And as of now he's rank #1 on the entire server which is in itself not a bad feat.

Just to settle the discussion. I actually asked him @DSRack Lan just the other day. For us English inclined folks, yes, it's just "show". He also accepts the other pronounciation (the word for lake or something?) for those that feel a need to go Swedish but for most of us it should be "show".


Far more importantly though, SjoW HWAITING!

As many said, you pronounce it as "show". But in swedish you can pronounce it as "schååv" aswell,
I prefer the first ofcourse.

Thx for all the support, im gonna have some pause from sc2 a couple of days now, then im gonna change my hotkeys to more optimal once and improve my macro game and focus on T v P and T v Z.

I don't think how you properly pronounce it is as important as the cute way IU is going to butcher its pronunciation.

Sjow is one of the most under rated players. He is a very strong player and he probably is one of the best terrans in EU. imo he is better than HuK.
