In PeyongChang he lost to Bunny. In GSL he lost to Scarlett and aLive. In OlimoLeague he lost to KeeN and MMA. In SHOUTcraft he lost to soO. In RavenZ he lost to herO. Is that a slump? The GSL dropout was obviously the biggest surprise, but aLive is a good player, and Scarlett too, beating Serral, Elazer and sOs to win IEM PeyongChang. During the same time after Blizzcon, Rogue beat: Trap, GuMiho, Creator, KeeN, Cure, Stats, MMA, SpeCial, Zest, Solar, Billowy, Impact, herO, Solar, Dandy, SuperNova, TRUE. The pros are people, not machines. Even though some seem to believe that if a pro wins one tournament, they're expected to win everything they sign up for. Even if his results did drop a little after losing to other Koreans, that's pretty common after winning big events, and Rogue had won two in a months time. Not winning events, major and minor, is the norm. Winning them is the exception and Rogue just happened to play great in three, now four major tournaments over a short period of time. I congratulate him and celebrate his success rather than shun him for being a "patchzerg", whatever that meme means these days. | ||

That may have been a momentary thing or some nuance that was missed in translation. In the TL Interview it seemed like he is still pretty motivated: You said you got lazy after winning BlizzCon last year. Are you worried that you're gonna fall into that pit again now that you've won IEM? Right now, I'm feeling that I want to work really really hard. But you never know how things work out once you get home and get some quality rest. That's just human nature—back then, I just wanted to keep taking it easy once I laid back. This time, I plan to just go back home for a brief period, so I don't take too much time off. To be fair, you've won BlizzCon and the IEM World Championship—there's not much left for you to win. In that regard, isn't it hard to set a goal and stay motivated? Still, I haven't won GSL Code S. It's the biggest Korean tournament. I still want to win GSL Code S at least once. Blizzard also just posted an interesting article/interview they did just before Katowice. | ||

he looked excellent in the open bracket and group stage, showcasing his signature.... Thought he got a direct seed and didn't have to play in open brackets? | ||

They will rather explain your success with "OP race" or "patchzerg"... It's a pity they can't just enjoy the brilliant play. | ||
