Don't let his small stature, his charming dopey eyes, and his innocent smile fool you. This man is a fucken monster.

Upon first meeting him in Korea at the OGS house I thought to myself "eh, nice kid I guess." Over the past year I have seen countless amounts of evidence that has changed my forgoing opinion of him.

The man got chicken-pox or something when he first got to Korea. He had bumps all over his body. Everyone in the OGS house was concerned for him as was I. But he merely said nonchalantly "Yeah I think I should go to the hospital." oGsGon took him to the hospital and upon returning I asked him if he's okay. He replied "Well I didn't understand anything they were saying but yeah I think so." Then he went back to practicing SC2.

The man has carpel tunnel syndrome or something yet he is a SC2 progamer. Like a marathon runner with shin splints. He just keeps running. Or as he once said "No pain no gain."

The man has honor, loyalty, and commitment to his friends and team. He will never change teams no matter what he's offered. TLO has no price.

The man has hordes of girls following him around at MLGs.

Shortly after his chicken-pox healed Spunky and I took TLO and Jinro out to a drinking place in Korea that's very common. The way the place works is we get a room and lots of alcohol then they bring in lineups of girls from which you choose one to be your 'partner.' The girl is just there to pour your drinks and talk and entertain you. Most of them are hot students working to finance their school. A pretty good place to pick-up girls. At this time I still thought TLO was a mere humble nerd. The lineup came in and Spunky and I both instantly chose girls. Jinro manned up and picked a pretty hot girl which I was surprised because most first-timers think it's too awkward and don't want to 'pick.' Respect for Jinro went up. TLO on the other hand was being shy and didn't want to pick. Spunky picked a girl for him and told her to sit next to TLO, though she wasn't as hot as Jinro's girl. Me and Spunky were like "LOL TLO so cute too shy to pick a girl." TLO's girl was to his right, inbetween him and Jinro was Jinro's girl. We start drinking and I'm distracted talking to my girl for like 15 mins.

Suddenly I look up and TLO is sitting there with his right arm around his girl and his left arm around Jinro's girl with a big fucken baller smile on his face.

From that point on I was officially a TLO fanboy.
