He's also already qualified for SSL Premier if there is a next season so it's not like he had nothing. We'll have to wait and see. WESG isn't just one event. If soO qualified, he would likely have earned $89,000 (2nd place in Asian Pacific Qualifier then 2nd at the main event) That's over twice what a GSL title would pay despite being a lot less work.

He has a very unique playstyle and he's been an exciting player to watch ever since he first played in ProLeague. I know you want soO to win something for once but just chill with the rage bruh. soO is statistically the most consistently good player in all of SC2 and he will certainly get a first place once he overcomes his mental block with finals.

He is a human like any of us. Need a break. There are quite a few important qualifiers coming up including GSL. The last time I watched his stream. He was perfectly fine. Even making fun of his 100K that he lost to Rogue by putting up a donation bar for 100K. Looking forward to seeing him at GSL again and I'm sure he will be there. | ||

While it is understandable given it is painful for a fan to watch him losing again, it might be even worse for soO. But like soO's standard, he is tough enough to make it to 6 finals so he is strong enough to overcome this disappointment. People just overreact to the point it is annoying. JAGW players are with the team so they are not that desperate for money. They tend to focus more on Korean events. Maru was finalist last year so I think he does want to play to defend his standing. | ||

There's a Chinese VOD of the qualifier that shows Rogue beating Creator in like 4 minutes. It's just that WESG didn't update their site so there's no real source to get all results 100% accurate. No idea who did and didn't show up in the end. | ||

Lol get over yourself, you seriously think players care more about a tournament being prestigious or not as long as it pays a shit ton of money? (If they promise to pay and don't, that's another matter entirely...) Agreed regarding the people being weird about soO, but also come the fuck on a little... | ||

WESG Korea qualifier was scheduled to be held on Dec 15th but soon the date was changed to Dec 8th. soO traveled overseas to postpone joining the army before knowing the change of qualifier schedule. (Traveling abroad is a legitimate way in Korea to postpone joining the army.) soO could have played qualifier abroad but he didn't. | ||

At least up to a certain age, I cant remember the limit. They are quite flexible in that you can postpone it for a variety of reasons but in the end you still have to do it. | ||

Classic, Ryung and KeeN also said they will go to army after 2018 season is finished. I don't want soO to retire but it makes sense given he along with Classic, Ryung and KeeN belong to the "older" generation of progamers. They will need to do army service soon. In fact, Stats, Zest, herO and GuMiho are pretty much around the corner as well (basically 1992 or older). So many great players on the verge of going to army service. If there is WCS in 2019, there will be a lot of missing names in Korea when there is basically no new blood. I'm so sad. | ||
