Shy:

I hope we won’t just be satisfied with this… I hope that we grow with every battle, that we can always keep evolving.
Even if there’s only a 1% chance… we have to give it everything we’ve got.

When asked why he played over Sunzo in the WBG vs Milk Tea match today, Guxue said, "It's mostly because the World Cup is coming up" -- implying that Sunzo is busy preparing for OWWC.

It's very possible that Guxue will start over Sunzo again tomorrow for WBG vs JDG.
