I believe soO got a hex put on him by the one he defeated at the final of 2012 MLG vs Proleague Invitational to win $10k in first place. That man's name? The Wizard of Oz.

As am easy manipulable person, Can somebody take away the blizzcon trophey from rogue, kick him in the ass and give it to soO?

Really liked the article, thanks for this.

Lets hope for a first place this year! :D

We all respect soO, but there's too much articles about him. Mizenhauer is clearly his fan

I may not be a fan, but I will still cheer for him to break his curse and finally lift a GSL trophy. Nobody with a heart could do any less. Though until that happens, I reserve the right to meme about his second places.
Great writing as usual, Mizenhauer. Though I gotta say, the frequency of these soO articles is a bit.....blatant.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. I will admit that I've cheered against him on every final he's faced against a Protoss....which has been like all of them except sOs and herO.
But his reaction every time he loses in a finals is heartbreaking. And just like foreigners tend to "go full foreigner," soO goes full soO in the finals. During Blizzcon, you could visibly see when his spirit began to wane.
I don't know if I'd cheer for him in a Blizzcon finals, but it is his time to hoist a GSL trophy.

Kudos to all the people who keep cheering him on. It's obviously hardest on soo, but I know how hard it is to see your favorite come so close time and time again only to fail. Being a Jaedong fan in 2013 was super hard, and it seems like soO will go down in history as the player with the most 2nd places ever. Gotta respect the guy for continuing onwards. A lot of people would have broken down at this point, but it seems like he never gives up. I really hope he'll eventually win a GSL or a blizzcon. But there will always be these kind of players. They look like gods time and time again, yet they never get the championship they deserve. Every eSport has these kind of players, but soO truly is the king of kongs. I'd love to see an interview with Yellow about soO. It must be hard to see others suffer the same fate as you have.

Great read.
In case you would have the way to reach out sOs - drunk him and then ask him whether he's really that insane or good! I need to know the truth.
So far I am satisfied with him being insanely good

Do you really believe it's even possible for him to win after so many 2nd places ? Is there a guy in professionnal sport that always got 2nd but managed to finally win?

I don't know when i became a fan of soO and i don't really know why, but this guy is such a freaking beast when he's in top form. Nothing and nobody is able to stop him except for soO himself. As long as he is playing i wont stop believing and cheering.
soO hwaiting!
Thank you, mizenhauer, for another great article.

An interesting read but I don't know if team sports are comparable to 1v1 sports in this way. What I would like to know is if anyone has done the same in any sport with single competitors. Team mentality is a whole other beast entirely. Not to belittle the mans incredible achievements, just saying I think its fundamentally different situations.

You probably became a fan through soOcial osmosis.
I liked this post Mizzie, but I do have to agree with a few other posters that it seems redundant. However, if it helps ferment support for the shiniest silver surfer and beloved kong then more power to you, particularly as he is happy to work with TL.
If there was one message I could give soO it would be " No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking" - Voltaire

I don't think anyone else so far stomped their group as effortlessly as soO did. I get that a sick NoRegreT wasn't ever going to have a good time in that matchup, but soO also made Zest look like he was 1,000 MMR behind. I'll be crossing my fingers that he can keep it going!
