Socke mentioned something really important in his interview. He lost the fear about playing Koreans. A lot of Foreigner play way too passively and scared against Koreans, because of the reputation they have.

Don´t get me wrong, South Korea will due to his superior structure probably always be the most dominant country in SC II, but their players are not gods. They are beatable and there is are a number of players, who can compete with them. Socke is definitely one of them. Right now probably the second best nonkorean Protoss after Naniwa, Top 3 for sure.

I hope, that he will finally get the recognition he deserves after this MLG. Things like the low placing in the power rank or other official TL articles shouldn´t happen. He proves them wrong every single time. The guy is not around since yesterday, he is part of the elite since the release of the game, but many people forget that.

Kind of unorthodox push timing by Thorzain. He was playing from behind once that failed, and it was all downhill from there. Well done Symbol!

I've always counted Socke as a mid-tier European protoss along with several other EU protoss, but apparently he is a level above the rest.

Socke needs to 2-0 SaSe really which is obviously going to be tough, and hope other results go his way, could happen though!

I want Sase and Socke to top the group in that order

gonna be kinda hard though, haha.

Idk if Thorzain can do it vs MKP, not even win the serie, just not completely fall apart mentally, cuz the games vs Symbol were nothing short of painful, and idk if he feels like getting mule dropped and manner CCed on stage by the sickest fan favorite...

Thorzain just got beaten by the current state of TvZ, nothing else. I've seen other terrans lose to Symbol in a much more convincing manner. It just takes Terran way too long to get an anti-broodlord composition up.
