Q: You are now in the Ro8 after beating soO.

A: I did not expect too much. I am very happy to win after 2 and 1/2 years.



Q: You were very strong in Game 1.

A: It wasn't perfect, probably just better than Game 2. I did not even have time to be nervous before it finishes.



Q: You were very aggressive in Game 2, but that strategy wasn't that effective.

A: I was getting more nervous and my heart was beating faster as time went by. I could even hear my heartbeat in Game 2. I am rather depressed when playing offline.



Q: How did you manage this 2 and 1/2 years?

A: Let me keep this a secret.



Q: soO is far more accomplished in HotS and far more famous. Were you afraid of him?

A: We meet each other often on ladder. Actually I win a little more no matter what the game version is. But soO is a different man at offline occasions, so I was a bit nervous.



Q: You are meeting RagnaroK in the Ro8, how confident are you?

A: We have met 6 times in LotV. We are pretty much even on ladder so I think I will have my chance there. He's not as famous as soO, so I have my hope there.



Q: Anything else you want to say?

A: I streamed in China when I for practising with me.

I was told there would be 120k viewers but it turned out there were 260k (Shrink: inflated figures from Douyu). I am very proud of that. I went to China for the StarCraft League 2015 and I discovered that the Mainland scene is very much alive. I went to Taiwan and the States but they can't match the Chinese scene. I am much grateful for X-Team's help and I am sorry that I forgot the team jersey (Shrink: wife would probably be delayed). Also I'd like to thank Losira for practising with me.Source: + Show Spoiler + https://twitter.com/shrinkzxo

Being a shut-in for a couple of years, getting a majority of his social interaction over the interwebs.



That's not a fact or anything, but it's a prevailing theory.



On top of that he obviously sees online and offline events as being quite different. He's not used to playing inside a booth in front of a live audience. It's just a ton of extra pressure.

He just said that he wins more games then loses agains soO on the korean ladder, no matter if it was hots back the day or lotv now. And he said that he is quite even with RagnaroK on the LotV korean ladder. Why does this make no sense?

Because you think RagnaroK is too bad for this?



RagnaroK has massive improved with the switch to LotV, while soO did not. At least in understanding how to win as a zerg.

Even if RagnaroK is legit good now, HotS soO was legit gooder. Being favored against him back then is quite a feat. Even if RagnaroK is legit good now, HotS soO was legit gooder. Being favored against him back then is quite a feat. INna Maru-da-FanTa, Bbaby, TY Dream that I'm Flashing you

OtherWorld Profile Blog Joined October 2013 France 17332 Posts #13 Well I'd prefer him not to wear his team jersey at all, because he's rather classy-looking by progamers standards in this pic.

Also, I wonder if one day we'll know why he didn't play for Prime in the past two PL seasons. Used Sigs - New Sigs - Cheap Sigs - Buy the Best Cheap Sig near You at www.cheapsigforsale.com

Like when he would do his days of laddering and disappear for a year, I was always more impressed by his play than basically anyone else's, including Flash and Innovation's.

Ladder is different from offline events. B4 was #1 KR ladder for a while yet he was garbage on SPL.

But..but F91 put so much love into designing those jersey~ haha Okay maybe not



Actually I don't think Xteam would really mind it very much since I think a lot of their money is not from sponsorship but from the income of scboy's stream and merchandise. But a shiny XTeam jersey will definitely cheer his Chinese fans up
