Every now and then a new player shows up that fills me with excitement. In my opinion there are big differences between exciting players and good players. Between entertainers and stone-cold killers. Sometimes they do overlap: just look at Boxer in his glory years. But most of the time, especially in the modern era of macro-centered game play, the players who win game after game do so in a way that doesn't quite keep me on the edge of my seat.

Enter YoonJoong aka BorAdori aka Shuttle aka your new fucking god.

First off the vitals. TLPD lists his age as "??" which is awesome because unknowns are mysterious. What is also Mysterious is why TLPD labels him as 'YoonJoong' despite him never using this handle in any game I have seen a VOD for. Mystery is awesome.

His overall win percent is 44.44%; this might not seem amazing until you consider that 44.44% of the time he wins games in an stylish intense amazing way, and the other 55.56% of the time he loses in a stylish intense amazing way.

So lets discuss some games.

Arena MSL 2008
(Z)Kwanro vs (P)YoonJoong
+ Show Spoiler +



This is the game that turned me onto YoonJoong. He opens with the standard FE and starts laying on the pressure. And keeps laying it on. And keeps laying it on. This game is non stop action the entire way through as YoonJoong shows us what an economy-focused build looks like if instead of massing your units you keep the opponent busy with them. Beautiful, Inspiring, and damned sexy play.




Arena MSL Survivor 2008
(T)Ruby vs (P)YoonJoong
+ Show Spoiler +



Starts off fairly standard with YoonJoong going for a reaver harass. The harass completely repelled so YoonJoong makes lemonaid out of lemons and sacs the reaver and shuttle to dislodge some of Ruby's tanks and allow a stylish and decisive entrance bust. Aggressive play results in a brutal victory once again for our hero.




(P)YoonJoong vs (P)Stork [18 Sep, 2007] Proleague
+ Show Spoiler +



YoonJoong postures himself for an aggressive 2 gate opening and focuses on murdering Stork's probes to make up for the fact that he is putting himself economically behind. This doesn't pay off and he is forced into a defensive posture for a little while.. until he gives Stork a lesson in fucking psionic storming your way to victory.

What I loved most about this game was displaying a Tempare/Archon/Zealot dominance over Storks more dragoon-focused army through the power of many well placed psionic storms.

Also, YoonJoong.


So in conclusion this is my portrait of YoonJoong. He is an exciting hyper-aggressive player that has shown his ability to bring innovation to the table and come back when the chips are down. + Show Spoiler +
Unfortunately he was eliminated from this MSL by the fucking brick wall that is Flash, but
I can not wait to see more of him in the future. Here is hoping STX starts putting him into the league matches more often.

My dearest YoonJoong,

With the light of love as my guide, the feather of angels as my pen, and the blood of Aphrodite as ink, I weave my thoughts for you.

Should a thousand angels tear out my heart with the forsaken instrument of death, it would still beat for you a million times and call your name in the night. I just cannot explain the passion inside which burns for you.

What manner of creature can resist those mystifying brown eyes of yours remind me of little raisins, and many a times I have wonder if you have real raisins inside your eyeballs. Do they make you see any better?

Your stunning black hair is something to be admired by all. I love the way it shines in the sun like a pool of freshly laid tar. I know tar stinks, but your hair doesn't, darling.

I've always enjoyed walking along the beach with you. Just the two of us alone, walking along while the sun sets. I know there's always the fear of not finding our way back in the dark (because beaches don't have street lights installed) but fear not my love, because I bought one of those LED torches the other day, so rest assured we will be OK.

Words alone cannot express how unique my love is for you. I love you, and you only, I swear that to you my love ....well OK, I guess I also love my car which I've just recently done up! It now makes more noise then a jet engine, is more blockier then an old Mario game, and has such low skirting that the whole thing will break apart if I drive over a bottle top, but thats besides the point. My point is that I love you and my love for you is unique (isn't it weird how the word 'unique' and 'eunuch' sound the same? The word Unix also sounds similar, but 'Chimpanzee' doesn't)

I can't remember if I've already told you this but I really do love your bum. Its such a turn on to look at and its one of the many reasons I love being with you my love. Sometimes I wish I could do nothing but stare at your bum all day, but I'm not sure that's a good idea my love, as people will probably think I'm some kind of nut case and I might get taken away by the men in white coats.

Anyway darling, I must depart now. I really can't wait to see you again, especially if you are gonna be wearing sexy Pink underwear for me! Go on, surprise me! I've often wondered what you would look like wearing those, and many a nights have gone by where I would sit and fantasise about you wearing Pink underwear and I would have no need to watch music videos any more.

I will forever be thinking about you, and I love you with every beat from my aching, burning heart which will wither away and die without your sweet nectar-like words!

I remain a humble slave in your lustful thoughts,

SnowFantasy
