I agree, each one should have at least 100.

Yeah, Rain invented the solid defensive play, MC invented the Sentry rushes and busts and the backdoor Oracle-play.. Parting invented/improved the Soul/Train, and maybe the mass Stalker blink play (though I think the master there is San himself at it).. And everything else that now Protoss players use is sOs play (except TLHerO o.f.c. the guy is totally bonkerz with his Phoenix thing.. )

Still - point is that thanks to sOs - Protoss is in a very good state.. Trouble is that it lasted short enough for people to remember him (except those who do or at least try to copy his builds).. In the last META episode Naniwa himself (though it doesn't mean it was true-hartedly meant) thanked sOs for the builds he gave..
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

HerO invented the warp prism, it didn't exist before

To me sOs is the inventor of "why is he doing this wtf is he thinki--- yeah I knew it would work"

San invented sentry drops. HerO just took San's invention and added to it

In particular, there's a possibility that I'll bring out some strategies that will really shock the fans. I've been working hard on showing new strategies that I've worked hard to optimise as much as possible.

Outlook for Blizzcon

Mini predictions:
  • sOs will use Chargelot+Archon at least once vs every race
  • His PvP’s will average only 12 minutes
  • Out against the first Terran he meets


3-1 (T)Polt
3-1 (T)Bomber

Guess his pvt wasn't that bad !

The greatest thing about sOs winning is that he will never again be seen as a "faceless" unknown player.

what a beast, prepared builds to play all the way to the finals (could be just that the final was the only PvZ he played, but whatever. Still amazing )

As someone who didn't really know sOs too well pre-Blizzcon, this article is really accurate and well written looking back on it now after watching his WCS final games. Good job lichter
