seriously?

He's a troll that thinks the lack of Rogue vs Neeb lategames is evidence that Rogue can't beat Neeb when the game goes late. It's funny that they think Neeb is going to suddenly prove his doubters all wrong. Wasn't that supposed to happen at Blizzcon 2016, and Blizzcon 2017?

I'm a troll? look who's talking

he hadn't extinguished Rogue's flame—he had merely tempered his steel

Huh, what a remarkable metaphor. Surprised I haven't seen that anywhere before. Nice writing!

Never stop, Rodya.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

I heard a lot of Korean pros saying TY is the scariest player to play atm. Like Dark and Rogue mentioned that they are so glad TY is not playing in GSL vs world. And even heard from many other pros saying TY is really good recently. These are definitely some information that normal fans usually can't catch.

Like Rogue in last year for example, he's been doing not good until mid-late 2017, he barely barely qualified to blizzcon for winning super tournament by rank 8 in WCS Korea. And after he began to rise right before blizzcon, he actually won blizzcon too. And before that, a lot of Korean pros were talking about how Rogue was good before super tournament and IEM Shanghai. And ofc normal fans had no idea about this at that time.

It's kinda similar with TY now, he is only ranked 7 in WCS Korea currently but he is the one who is considered as top form atm by other pros. There must be a reason why Maru wanted to avoid TY in GSL ro16 group nomination.
I wonder if same thing gonna happen in this blizzcon :p

I watch GSL from its very beginning in 2010 and I can boldly say that TY is The most intelligent and tactical player I've ever watched (I've added "tactical" because TY is very different from sOs). Unfortunately he got a terrible record of wining rounds and then his opponents have a huge comeback finishing the whole mach. This is how Gumiho beat TY and became later a champion and Rogue did the same at Blizzcon. This is a huge psychological issue which TY should pay more attention. What it lacking in TY's play style is the simplicity of which other players won many tournaments. This is how Inno's 2-2 upgrade rush made him unbeatable for a period of time. TY is always taking the hardest path of dealing with his opponents. Not long ago nobody could beat TY in super long macro matches until Dark and then Maru of course surpassed him. I still have no clear idea why TY is not a Code S champion yet after so many lost chances. For this year he is not on his top shape yet.

Poor Leenock. Would have loved to see him move to the semis. But Neeb vs TY is hype! I hope Neeb prepares well.
