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.

It kinda rips my heart out that he got another second place finish at Blizzcon.

At least he's making good money, but this really has to tear him to pieces.

on the bright side, with all the pushback toward innovation being GOAT...a lot of people will still say MVP is GOAT...in which case, soO being the king of silver, will probably be remembered as the 2nd best player of all time! even above innovation! ...well maybe not.

honestly i've always respected king kong. and this finals was heartbreaking. soO! i really hope 2018 is your year.

You know...

This match really highlights how far SC2 has come. It's crazy that this used to be the standard pace of a match. So slow. So blobby. Limited player interaction outside of big army fights or donating units.

All of the WCS/GSL games I've watched this year have been action-packed with player interaction from like the 2:00 mark until the bitter end. Harrassment. Mindgames. Skirmishes. Multiple engagements happening at the same time for the majority of the match. Constant run-bys and drops, expansion denials/snipes etc. The game is better. Players are better. Everything is better.

I really don't understand how people can long for the WoL/HotS days over what LotV has become.

while for the most part I agree with your sentiment, I still miss HOTS TVZ and WOL TvT. Ive never seen pro level TvZ that was as entertaining to watch as early hots, constant parade pushing, constant tug of war, It was amazing. I also really miss old TvT, the introduction of medivac boost permanently changed the matchup by making it much easier to doom drop. This has really cut down on player ability to make bio tank games go to the super late game because often games are decided by some crazy doom drop or base trade instead of a long positional siege tank chess match. I do however think that PvZ and PvT and PvP are all significantly better in LOTV than they have ever been before, reducing Protos's reliance on the collosi and changing several other aspects of there race to compensate has made protoss so much more interactive and interesting both to play and play against.

Thank you SoO for being truthful. I think it takes lots of courage to do so. What you are giving us are not only beautiful games, but also beautiful mind and work ethics. You are doing great so you really dont need to feel bad about the whole thing. Maybe a little regret from the missed opportunities, but hey, that's life. Just pay the due respect and then move on. I am totally your fan!
Btw, I am from the original SC era and mostly just enjoy the story of the game, but I do follow the competitive plays.
Aye?

Now soO has entered Elysium

...to the Elysian plain...where life is easiest for men. No snow is there, nor heavy storm, nor ever rain, but ever does Ocean send up blasts of the shrill-blowing West Wind that they may give cooling to men.

soO's story is arguably, one of the most touching and inspirational in esports of all time.

The 4-3 game with Life was also very exciting. I also liked his Blizzcon game vs Gumiho. He suffered losses from him troughout the whole year, and not just in the GSL final. It was really scary..

Then the GSL semi vs Classic, when he 4-0'd him. That didn't turn out as exciting, but before this match Classic played so well, people started to think it might be his 2nd GSL win. Until he got destroyed by soO.

Man he had so many great games...
Why so serious?
