Yup, definitely... :D For anyone wondering, here's is the bracket of Olimoleague #77, which turned out to be quite the Billowy show. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/OlimoLeague/2017/Week_77 | ||

Look at the ratios for other players who spent most of their career on KeSPA teams like Zest or Stats. They had essentially nothing between KeSPA switching to SC2 and KeSPA teams disbanding in terms of online competition (bar qualifiers for bigger events). Now they play in online tournaments on a weekly basis. Obviously since Jin Air is the only team left it's hard to say if he just dislikes online tournaments or what, but there are very few players whose teams disbanded who don't play in online events. Maybe he lost many online tournaments at very beginning stage and won many offline tournaments to the end which making his offline game ratio much higher than any other current players. And I suppose this is one reason why his nickname is "big guy" by his Korean fans. BTW, tomorrow's GSL group will be an interesting one according to Billowy's show today. | ||

I remember him being barred from basetrade organized events for rest of 2016 for not showing up to play against soulkey in the decider match of the group. Kinda sad if you ask me. E: I just realized that my comment makes it look like sOs is really rude in online tournaments and from what I have seen, that's really not the case. However, it certainly looks like sOs takes small online tournaments less seriously. | ||

However, it certainly looks like sOs takes small online tournaments less seriously. I know the case you mentioned (although I didn't watch) and I agree the last sentence you said. That's why I'm guessing he probably doesn't like to play online tournaments. Seems like he wants to save time and energy to make the "big money" although it's a risky move, like the year of 2016 is a "failure" for him in terms of money. E: Winning few online tournaments won't help either though...since they are much "cheaper" than offline tournaments in average. | ||

The randomness of online cups and the smaller prize pools makes a player like him wanting to rather save his time to prepare specific builds and keep it a secret for an important tournament. So the question is what would sOs do when JAGW disbands? | ||
