Lost his first match, probably not getting first place in his group. Top 3 is still possible. Gonna be rough though. Losira has his number and Ryung's TvT is pretty good.

Lots and lots of interesting stuff in that interview, but this one shocked me:

TY is actually left-handed but plays Starcraft with his right hand on the mouse... !

LITERAL GOD TASTELESS!!

That was my question, and I'm really glad they picked it to ask him because it was driving me nuts!

The fact that TY is left-handed isn't obvious at all because you can't tell when he's playing - he uses the keyboard and mouse like a right-hander. But when I was watching that "variety stream" on his channel a couple of days back (still have no idea what it was about), I noticed that he held chopsticks with his left hand and also played ddakji with his left hand.

It blows my mind that he can be controlling the mouse with his NON-DOMINANT HAND....

TY kinda seems to be slumping....

Failing to qualify for SSL Premier and VSL.
Using his mass-BC build against Classic (though surprisingly enough, winning) then losing twice to mass Adepts.

I mean, he's more than earned a break after his double championships, but it would still be a real shame if he dropped off now that he's undoubtedly one of best players in the world. Dark, Stats, and Inno are the only ones on his level.

Qualified for the GSL Super Tournament. Beat an amateur, Natural, Leenock and GuMiho. Solid run.

Oh wow I didn't see that before. Good thing he didn't actually follow through on retiring in 2015.

TY plays herO in the first round. I don't think that's technically the worst draw ever. But TY has never won a match outside of Proleague against herO and herO plays the most abusive bullshit styles you can imagine. Granted TY should know that, but it's probably not gonna be fun

So many pylons that everyone in the studio stands up and leaves including Gyuri and the casters.

2-0 vs Bunny, first game was pretty close, 2nd game was incredibly one-sided. Hope he gets a good rest for the GSL qualifiers and an easy bracket.

Well done. But hard not to have a feeling that he would have lost that first game to a better terran. He just loses too many units because he is not entirely on top of things. It's not TY in top form.

But I guess there is no reason to be in top form when you're playing Bunny in the SSL challenge. Super Tournament aside, the main target now must be GSL season 2. Fingers crossed for the qualifier.

Btw, it would be cool to have the OP of this thread updated once in a while. Perhaps someone else could take ownership?

Elentos?

Qualified for GSL. Lost to Creator though.

Ah well I'll excuse it. He said on his stream page he hasn't been feeling well lately.

PiG has been going over TY's build orders lately. Here he does a full analysis of that brilliant game on Abyssal Reef in the IEM finals.

This is pretty much terran porn!
