Just remembering that year where he was pretty much the most consistent (reaching like 5 consecutive finals?) and one of the best (if not the best) players of the year when he is not in the finals. And then he reaches finals and looks like a some random code A Korean lol. soO to me is one of the very best players to ever touch the game, can't be that consistent without being really good. Just so his nerves aren't up there, but it seems like he made some progress with them recently | ||

These guys really need each other to taste ultimate victory. That said, while I like Stats more, I'll be rooting for soO. 10th time's the charm. More like there are only a handful of top players xD | ||

Against some of his final opponents, soO was simply inferior on that day, but in some cases it really was all about soO's mentality failing (looking at vs Zest on Yeonsu). | ||

In how many of those finals would you have put soO as the favorite before the games? Most of his final opponents were on an absolute tear when he faced them. The only ones he may have been favored against are Classic, Gumiho and ofc Solar in that IEM. | ||
