Wanted to post this here: Huge thanks to Miz for getting the OK from SoO and lining up a translator. This is a translation of soO victory stream celebration where he goes over some of the replays from IEM and answers fans questions. Youll have to be a sub to get the vod but well worth it imo. Some pretty fun stuff with his sisters dog Mochi going nuts every now and then lol. You can see how happy he is going through it.. as a huge fan of him since his first second place it was so nice getting to experience this with him. Thanks again Miz you're a legend! | ||

Honorouble Korean no-Hive ZvZ > foreigner ZvZ soO confirms as much in the excellent translation from his stream posted above: Q: Why didn’t you go Hive in the 3rd map? A: Hive? I have a specific philosophy when it comes to ZvZ. I just win with the power of money. I have a specific example regarding this. I had a lot more money than Serral, and I won on the the basis of my income. But did anyone see the game between Dark and Solar? The 3rd map? Dark had 5K minerals. Solar had the earlier tech. But Dark tried to kind of clumsily catch up and go Hive, and that’s why Dark lost. If it was me, I would have made all roaches with the 5K minerals and totally razed the center. I would have just converted all the money to roaches and done a 360 surround. That’s much better. | ||

or that the majority of players would have gladly swapped places with soO and his decorated career. Then again, only soO knew the pain of coming close to a championship and failing so many times. this is kinda funny, especially considering soO's infamous "better fail than 2nd place" tweet, but interestingly enough he was actually asked during Hanjin's and ToD's AMA with him whether he'd prefer 1 championship and dropping out early 5 times or 6 2nd places and he said he'd choose the 2nd places. it was a tough call though and he added that he sees it that way now that he has that big championship and that he might have answered differently before. soO's story and his personal developement is truly something else | ||

It did seem like he was making peace with the idea of never winning the championship toward the end, and maybe winning this surprise IEM trophy retroactively changes his POV again. | ||
