Well, he was one game away vs Jjakji, and the last two GSLs he was definitely a contender to win, but ended up losing in RO8 due to really bad series' out of the blue. I dunno. He'll get there! ^^
I mean really though, 2x MLG Win + IPL Win (assuming...) + GSL 2nd + MLG 2nd is quite amazing. Does he really need to win a GSL?

2 games away from Jjakji
And for sure, Leenock's set of achievements is one of the most impressive of any player's. That elusive GSL would really serve as the cherry on top, but really GSL is so unbelievably difficult to win that who knows what could happen.

I consider Leenock to be a guy that has longevity plus a big gap between his peak play and his lowest play. He's kind of weird because he's been around for ages, is always decent at worst, looking like the best player in the world at other times but hasn't yet won a GSL. He's really weird lol in terms of categorising, he's not a stylistic player like an MC who would fall off if the style is worked out (like MC in slump mode) nor is he a guy like Violet (IMO) whose consistency is based on rarely playing badly, but without as high a peak that he can hit.
Neither is he a choker, he won MLG Providence which was massive.
