I'm really not impressed by crossing your fingers and hoping your opponent doesn't look in the right place. Cannon rushes can be executed by silver league players for christ's sake.

Dear, on the other hand, shows people what a truly skilled Protoss looks like. sOs pales in comparison.

No, all that can be executed by silver league players are unsubstantiated claims like yours and whining about "cheese". The only way someone would think sOs wins through crossing his fingers is by not understanding his brilliance.

Oh, I see. TL writers already bashed on sOs once, but apparently it wasn't enough. Perhaps if they repeat how unexpected unfavored undeserved etc he was enough times, someone would buy that eventually.

He was knocked out in Season 2 by losses (in one game series!) to Maru and soO, who both went on to show themselves to be among the best in the world.]

As for the idea that he won Blizzcon because of cannon rushes, watching the games he played dispels that notion quickly enough.

It amazes me how some people can do so much deep analisys on Jaedong/Dear/their_favourite_player gameplay and skills, yet they fail to do it on sOs and just call him weird, cheesy, lucky and underskilled.

sOs is a brilliant player. You may like or not his style, but failing to see his brilliance only speaks about your own limitations not his.

sOs is the guy inventing abusive protoss builds for your favorite skilled protoss to copy.

Although sOs has inferior micro and macro skills, he's able to make it up by being a vastly superior strategical player.

Nah, a lot of people just got caught up with the hype by the casters like Artosis.
Innovation, who with all his mega-hyped mechanical play couldn't even progress through group stages in both WCS S2 Global and WCS S3 KR. Yet he got hyped by the casters like he's some demi-god.
The same Innovation who got kicked out of Blizzcon by the underrated Duckdeok.

Yeah if someone is innovative in this game it is sOs. Maybe he and Innovation should switch names + Show Spoiler +

Noo, that would be brilliant. sOs is truly innovative, and innovations heavy mechanics must feel "alarming" for his opponents

Those three points are funny because it did none of those things and the third one is a myth.

He already has a nickname. I preferably like to call him the innovator of protoss violence though. It would have been an anti-climatic end no matter who won.

Playing casually is the easiest way into mindgames.

For instance: "there's no way he can recover from this, i killed all his scvs at his third and nat and he has no other bases muahahaha"

Jokes on you, i have terrible macro, lemme get rid of that 3k/3k bank~

I say that last line in virtually every game I'm in. Along with "you killed a control group? Jokes on you, I'm terrible and didn't have the multitasking to control it anyway

I don't understand people who complain about sOs. It's like they want Protoss to be one dimensional and boring.

Also Dear goes quick DTs in a ridiculous amount of his PvPs

Not surprisingly, sOs's Ro16 and Ro8 games at BlizzCon were relegated to the secondary stream, with main stream preference given to fan favorites like Bomber and Jaedong.


If that was true we would have seen Polt on the main stage for one of his two series.

But really there were fan favorites in every game. Did not get to see any Team Liquid players nor Innovation. I wish they would do a 2 stage setup or have the finals over 3 days. If you do it at Blizzcon, have the Ro16 on Thursday. Ro8 and Ro4 on Friday. Finals on Saturday (so that both players are well rested and on even ground, sucked there was no Finals pre show and Jaedong had to play right away after the intense series vs Maru.)

Quick DT is the safest expand build in PvP and not cheesy at all. But yea, sOs <3.

Agreed. I've killed so many 1 base allins just by doing dt expands.

I don't understand it, either. Apparently, some people want Protoss to map split, defend, build colossus, go 200/200, then A-move.
