He takes out top players in bo3 and other series all the time, DIMAGA MorroW darkforce bratok select haypro huk etc. I think he definitely has at least the talent to qualify, possibly to go further than ro64 as well. | ||

Maybe we should all just pack it up and never let anyone go to Korea if their not asian, right? How does a guy in this thread get banned for joking around about terran OP, but straight racism in the first couple of posts is allowed? | ||

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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||
