And another bright side is, if sOs' SC2 skill doesn't get better, at least his English skill will likely be better. In the interview after SSL, he said entire Jin Air team is learning English at their spare time, but it's tough to practice both SC2 and English

Know thine enemy ha ha.
Thanks, so you've seen him play Zerg as well :p

Although I am not a fan of Zest, not big into kicking someone while they're down just no fun in it.
I do think sOs can win against the other races. It's not like he's getting stomped when he does lose in SSL. His execution is still off. People are more critical of his play because a) sadly people tend to dislike what they don't identify with or understand - Wolf I am looking at you b) his accomplishments = higher expectations etc etc...
I also dislke how Wolf disregarded sOs' Hot6 cup. Just because he states things authoritatively doesn't make them true.

I was thinking the same thing, they were tweeting at each other recently, maybe they went bike-riding?
Either way, I like it. I also think it's incredibly smart the whole team is learning/improving their English.
I still remember a Q&A where Rogue was asked some Q and he answered incorrectly in perfect English, "Go straight, turn right." Then sOs calling his English pathetic. So funny.
Edit: there's pics on soO's twitter, aww I want to eat with them.

Never thought I would be jealous of soO. sOs seems like a hermit, it's nice to see him interacting with other pros besides Jinair. I guess opposites attract?

He needs some solid Zerg practice partners outside of Jin Air team since Rogue is not "solid" any more these days But I don't know, back to HotS era he was Bill Gates of SC2, whereas nowadays as LotV coming he became a peasant If I have to guess I think soO treated him since he just got another GSL runner-up which means he has some cash in his pocket

I feel bad for Rogue, really got a sense of it when in the last GSL of 2016, Cure stated he would rather play Rogue for a teamkill. Also, apparently in those Proleague games where Rogue beat Zest, he received a lot of help from his teammates. Rogue doesn't strike me as very tactical or adaptable like sOs.
