Great read.

In case you would have the way to reach out sOs - drunk him and then ask him whether he's really that insane or good! I need to know the truth.

So far I am satisfied with him being insanely good

I'd chip a bit of money if you get a fund going...

I don't know when i became a fan of soO and i don't really know why, but this guy is such a freaking beast when he's in top form. Nothing and nobody is able to stop him except for soO himself.
As long as he is playing i wont stop believing and cheering.

soO hwaiting!


Thank you, mizenhauer, for another great article.

An interesting read but I don't know if team sports are comparable to 1v1 sports in this way. What I would like to know is if anyone has done the same in any sport with single competitors. Team mentality is a whole other beast entirely. Not to belittle the mans incredible achievements, just saying I think its fundamentally different situations.

You probably became a fan through soOcial osmosis.

I liked this post Mizzie, but I do have to agree with a few other posters that it seems redundant. However, if it helps ferment support for the shiniest silver surfer and beloved kong then more power to you, particularly as he is happy to work with TL.

If there was one message I could give soO it would be " No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking" - Voltaire

I don't think anyone else so far stomped their group as effortlessly as soO did. I get that a sick NoRegreT wasn't ever going to have a good time in that matchup, but soO also made Zest look like he was 1,000 MMR behind. I'll be crossing my fingers that he can keep it going!
"You know, I don't care if soO got 100 second places in a row. Anyone who doesn't think that he's going to win blizzcon watching this series is a fool" - Artosis, Blizzcon 2014 soO vs TaeJa
