um.. what? He lost a crapload of ace matches this season
Doesn't matter. No matter how much he loses, he somehow wins even more without anyone noticing or remembering.
Roro is currently the 5th highest scoring player in FPL. Four times as many people have him on their anti team than any other current top 16 player; more people have him on their anti team than any other player in the top 90. The most popular antiteam player with a higher score than Roro is Jaedong.
Roro - destroyer of FPL since 2009.
RorO has had an unspectuacular career in Brood War, having under 50% in all matchups, and only a few appearances in individual tournaments, of which he was knocked out quickly in the first couple of rounds. However he has beaten several strong Zerg players in his career including Jaedong, Calm, and YellOw[ArnC] and has recently shown good results in team league.
TLPD Record: 115 wins - 119 loses (49.15%)
Starcraft 2
8-6 in SC2 for Proleague, frequently used as Samsung Khans ace player for Proleague 4th place in WCS Korea (beating Startale Hack and FXO Leenock, losing to Startale Squirtle then beating SlayerS Miya, CJ Entus herO and LG-IM Seed in the losers bracket before losing to Creator Prime) Qualified for WCS Asia Nationals Qualified for WCS Grand Finals Qualified for Code S

If Sea ninja'd antiteams last week, RorO this week nuked some with a normal win and ace match win earning him a massive +10 and singlehandly ended the hopes over 200 teams, especially those who thought they were savvy when they picked him up on their anti team.
As always if you have any good content like interviews, pictures, VODs of excellent games that you would like to see added to the OP just post them in the comments
I love the Wemade zergs (Shine along with Roro), just because they were godlike when nobody expected it. I was once near the top on FPL because of Roro (that was shortlived tho) and became a fan.

"People still have him on their anti? 5 Seasons and people still didnt learn yet. I guess people just skip the 5+ pointers because they think they are all too strong namewise, then suddenly one day they stumble upon Roro's name and end up picking him."

man i just saw the games vs hack, he actually outplayed him. Incredible tactical play on Antiga.
Also his use of harass, constant edging on small details (picking 1 scv here and there, catching all drops) and great army movements. It felt like i was watching veteran GSL player and he only played for 3-4 months wow. Now lets pray his ZvZ is actually good :D

On August 09 2012 23:47 Weirdkid wrote: Samsung_Roro + Show Spoiler +
Q: How does it feel to get into the round of 16 of the winners' bracket? A: Even though Kespa players haven't been having good results, I am personally quite confident. Even though it was ZvT, I had the confidence that I would win.
Q: Reality made it into the round of 16 as well in yesterday's games. A: His TvZ has always been really strong, and so I thought that he had a chance of qualifying for the next round even before the games. Watching him advance really gave me motivation to play well. I thought that I should be able to win as long as I don't make any mistakes which are too huge.
Q: You defeated a strong opponent. A: I had very little information about my opponent. My feeling is that my opponent is a more experienced player than I am, so I thought that I just had to be careful in the early to mid game and it'd be ok. While winning, I also got to see some strategies which I never saw or thought of before, and I learnt a lot.
Q: You were harassed really badly in the first game. A: I wanted to use the strategy that I was most confident in, but I was harassed so much by my opponent in the early game. Even though I tried really hard, it was still one-sided.
Q: You were harassed really badly by his hellions in the second game too. That put you in a pretty bad shape in early game. A: The early game for the second game was really tough too. However, I did not think I was in that bad a shape while I was playing in the game. I was confident of dragging the game into the mid-late game and defeat my opponent based on mechanics, and so I was working hard to readjust my mentality.
Q: The third game saw both of you playing really standard. A: The more a ZvT drags into late game, the more confident I become. As long as I can drag it into the late game, I have the chance of defeating my opponent. It was a good thing my opponent was playing really passively too, and as such I was able to win more easily.
Q: You are the only Kespa seeded player who made it to the round of 16 of the winners' bracket. A: Getting the seed actually makes me more stressed. I didn't play in the preliminaries, and I also almost never won in SPL. It made me quite ashamed to see myself get the seed. I would have had to find a hole to hide in out of embarrassment if I had performed badly today. Fortunately I managed to win.
Q: The players from Samsung team seem to be performing quite well in WCS. A: That's the case too in SPL. Our skill level in Starcraft 2 is improving at a fast rate in SPL, but recent defeats have led to a loss of confidence. But from what we can tell from the inside, our improvements have been really good. Currently, Reality is playing the best. As for me, I think I'm on a similar level as him (laughs).
Q; Your next opponent is either MC or Leenock. A: Looking at the brackets, I feel that even if I had made it past the winners' brackets games today, it'd still be very hard for me. But I feel that it'd be better to play against Leenock than MC. Recently, ZvP has been really hard. But my record in recent SPL against Zerg is also that of straight losses, so I don't really dare to say too much.
Q: Do you think Kespa players will begin to do better and better? A: I think that as long as we can live past the early-mid game, our ability in the late game is roughly the same as them. We are still mainly losing because we are not experienced enough, and the players in this tournament are all really experienced players. That's why I believe that it'll be better in the future.
Q: Any last things to add? A: I talked quite a lot regarding SPL in this interview. I'm losing a lot recently, and it makes me really upset. But I'm still confident in my abilities, and I hope everyone can believe in me. Everyone in our team is really working very hard.
Also updated OP with his achievements and the VODs of a majority of his SC2 matches from Proleague!
RorO is in the last series of WCS Korea tonight! He faces Leenock in the winner bracket round of 16! His teammate Reality faces SlayerS_Puzzle before him as well! Be sure to cheer them both on

Samsung Khan vs Airforce ACE for Proleague going live in 10 minutes! I believe RorO is eligible to play Brood War for this match. Go watch at http://www.twitch.tv/saylesc and cheer him on!!
Wherever I see RorO I'm going to be rooting for him- unless he's playing Jaedong- I can't upset the tyrant. Or if it's vs Soulkey- then I have to pretend the match never happened.
Khan plays Stars tonight!! RorO is up for BW! Important match for playoff positioning! Be sure to tune in and cheer for our gosu Zerg
Also RorOs WCS winners ro8 match is tomorrow, he will be facing Startales Squirtle! A tough match for him so wish him all the best and cheer for him hard!!
Just watched this guy owning it up in WCS against a very impressive opponent. You know... I never thought much about this guy back in Brood War when he was on Fox and I watched his games, but count me a fan now.
RorO will be playing tonight in the Pro League Grand Finals as Khan faces CJ Entus for the championship!! Be sure to tune in in 9 hours and cheer him and Khan on!!!
Sick play by RorO. The only KeSPa player to reach the round of 4 out of the 4 KeSPa players in the round of 8. Well played sir and congrats, FIGHTING!!
For the upcoming finals preview, I'm doing a fan interview with one Symbol fan and one RorO fan. Would anyone be interested in participating? If so, send me a PM.
Whats there to say about him. I was cheering for him as a KeSPA player, but he has been dominating in this final. Lets see if he can end this early, and take the championship.
I don't like Roro and I don't think I ever will after his run through GSL this season, but I have nothing but respect for his attitude and he has proven himself to be a great player; sticking to progaming for five years despite never quite breaking through, always working hard... I may not like his play (or his team, freaking Samsung so unpredictable), but that's the kind of mentality that impresses me most with Korean progamers. I expect to see him succeed in HoTS as well, but I will be cheering for whoever he plays against.
