Legacy of the Void[edit]

In both qualifiers for the 2016 Global StarCraft II League Pre-Season, Patience was eliminated by the Protoss player Dear with a score of 0-2. In the GSL Code A qualifier, he once again lost to Dear (1-2), but this time it was enough for him to qualify as second of his group. In the meantime, Patience was able to win his group in the SSL Season 1 qualifier, notably defeating Terran players INnoVation and FanTaSy 2-0.

In Code A, Patience failed to qualify for Code S as he lost his series against TY 1-3. However, in the SSL Main Event, he won 2-1 against the GSL Pre-Season Week 1 winner herO in the first round. In the next round, Patience faced another Protoss in Stats. This time, he was defeated 1-3 and knocked down to the lower bracket. In the lower bracket, Patience defeated soO with a score of 2-1 after losing the first game, then Classic, the 2015 SSL Season 2 champion, winning the series 3-2 after being down 0-2. In the fourth round of the lower bracket, Patience did not need a comeback as he defeated the Zerg player RagnaroK with an efficient use of Phoenixes. In the last game of the series, the flying units were used to harass by killing dozens of Overlords and Drones, but also in main fights by lifting Ravagers and Lurkers.

Patience then faced once again Stats, the player who defeated him in the upper bracket, in the losers' semifinals. In a quick match, which lasted less than one hour, he got outplayed and lost 0-4, thus ending his run with the fourth place in the SSL 2016 Season 1. He took home more than $7,500 and 1,800 WCS KR Points, along with the seed for the SSL 2016 Season 2.
