The focus on "oh he only got 2nd" just spits on his incredible achievement. I would be pissed too if after making to the finals so many times people instead focused on how I never won instead of how crazy a feat it was to make it there so many times in a row. I have thought of soO as a crème de la crème player ever since I saw his match vs Zest in the semi-final, the match soO said he re-watches sometimes. Zest looked as if he played better, but he still lost. soO won using more than mechanics and macro/micro. I am also of the oppinion that there is generally too much focus on "winning the finals". In code S, getting first place or second place is a difference of winning 7 matches or 6 matches. Not only are some casters making jokes about the 'loser', even the price money is heavily in the winners favour. The second place often has half the prize money of what first place has. WESG gave TY 200 000, while Maru got 100 000, as an example. The latest code S had an even more askew monetary distribution, where the first place awarded 40 000 and 15 000 for second place. How are the other players supposed to make a living if #1 takes most of the money? tl;dr soO is great and winning isn't all that matters. | ||

Im not saying he can't do it, but the competition is tough. Nuances can decide. All i hope he won't quit sc2 after blizzcon. | ||

I should go re-watch that. soO has always been one of my favourite players... I'd hate to see him retire after Blizzcon. Me too. But he was also talking about that in the Dankshrine interview. Go and watch  | ||

Yeah, that's 100% his best match. I'm of the opinion that his game against Stats on Nimbus is his single most dominant display ever, though. | ||
