It probably won him his OSL in 2013. PartinG even called him out on it at one point (that he always 2 rax'd when losing in a series). | ||

Or the second factory in the 2016 final (although in that one he was favoured to lose anyway I guess). Being a TY fan is hard. It is. But putting all losses into one category is just silly. This goes for every player. If one player had won pretty much everything in LotV or even HotS, we wouldn't be having all these.silly Bonjwa topics. TY's losses are very different too. The reverse sweeps of 2017 are one thing, and tbh the worst loss he suffered was the Ro4 blizzcon against rogue, because he surely would have beaten soO. Losing to Dear in 2016 was something else though - not a mental blockade for TY. Etc He really *should* have beaten Maru last season. it's not like he really *should have beaten Zest in 2016, and so on | ||
