I also love his nick, something about some of the Chinese/Koreans taking mundane English forenames sometimes amuses me. I can't wait until we get an Asian pro whose nickname is Paul, no idea why it cracks me up though. | ||

From the 4 games I saw him play in wcs na he kinda killed them all of with aggressive play, but tbh it felt more like he was a few levels above the competition and didn't have to play out his makro card. I think he is more of an all round protoss (kinda like parting) who will do whatever it takes. | ||

He is above Major or Nestea for sure, I'd say he is at the level of tip top foreign pros like Scarlett, and can compete with mid-level Koreans. | ||

We can't really judge yet, he hasn't played a lot of top tier pros in official games so far. He beat Oz which is a pretty good thing, took advantage of JvP, lost to Scarlett twice and Ret once, beat TheStC who is at the lowest point in his career since 2010 and defeated the enigma that is NesTea. Other than that he beat a couple of mediocre NA pros and Shuttle, which doesn't really say much either. I want to see him play against better players, hopefully he gets a visa for WCS AM, that'd already help quite a bit. I guess it's safe to say he is one of the better foreigners at the moment, but so far he hasn't done as much as you'd think he has done considering the hype surrounding him. Not his fault though, because he hasn't gotten much of a chance to do so yet. | ||

of course though, Innovation says when he does ladder he doesnt play seriously so.... also regarding his 2-1 with Oz, Oz only took a game off of Jim cause of fast DTs , a build order win the other 2 games, such as on Neo Planet S with blink stalkers, Jim COMPLETELY outmicroed Oz, like a completely higher tier of micro than Oz was at...so..... | ||

I'm definitely interested in following him and more Chinese players though. He has some interesting builds. For example, he's the only protoss I've seen consistently go phoenix play vs terran as drop defense. Pretty impressive seeing drops get shutdown so hard. From what I've seen he seems capable of macro (although he's yet to really face someone whose tax him in that regard), but is not afraid to flip the all-in switch should an early pressure turn up favorable. Also, wasn't he Ranked 1 Korean GM at some point? | ||

All part of that time everyone was asleep, so we might want to give it 24 hours. | ||

He said in an interview recently that Rain is his favourite player (though he probably is for every Protoss player  ) and he tries to play like him. That said his WCS America games were pretty aggressive. | ||
