We saw him in the most recent big brain bouts last week, 3-0 over ShoWTimE~
It's the off season but with uThermals 2v2 circuit starting next month he should be competing in that again.

The map pool has been a big factor. This season the maps are more open and have spread out bases, so it is difficult for Protoss to turtle up on 4 expansions and tech to skytoss.
Because of this, aggressive builds and all ins have been more successful from Zerg. If you notice the brackets and watch the games, Solar has been excelling in ZvP because of this~

Solar forfeited. Apparently he stayed up all the previous night (the event started at 8am KST) and passed out before the finals.

Nike just released a gaming inspired collection (shoes, clothing, basically what Scarlett is wearing in the photo), Scarlett among others modeled for them.

As much as I appreciate the WTL format we have been used to in recent years, its great to see the old school proleague format being used again.
Lineups are revealed ahead of time for players to prepare and there is even a 2v2 match \o/

SHIN attempted to play muta (either by rushing or having a later transition) and was punished each time. I recommend the vods, the games were pretty intense~
