(Except his looks maybe, pretty subjective stuff.) The guy: - has been providing very high-level/bisuesque/entertaining games, - isn't afraid to show emotions and happiness after winning, - already gives pretty damn good interviews, - seems to be getting a lot of attention from fans (and deservedly so), meaning he has the potential to be a real asset to BW popularity in the next few months if he manages to get far enough in the indiv leagues. Saying this guy will become as strong/consistent as any of the current "dragons" is extremely premature, but I don't really see anything objectively dislikable about him. | ||

but I'm fucking tired of protosses and terrans. They've pretty much discovered everything in their play. Zerg revolution needed. Especially with someone (I remember even players) saying that in "ideal game" zerg would be favored. So finally prove that if you said.... | ||

His looks are a subjective thing, though he does look like Franklin from AD. Knocking Leta out with DTs rubs me the wrong way though, I like Leta (yes I know he's not always consistent and all that) and he was one of the players I wanted to see make it deep this OSL. On top of this, having everyone fall all over themselves to praise this guy after 4 games in the OSL is a bit of overkill, reminds me a lot of how everyone was thinking Snow as the second coming last year. Snow was good, but having every poster in every LR/interview thread say how he was awesome and the next bonjwa and all that got annoying. To each his own. | ||

WTF, Protoss NEEDS more players than Zerg players! Zerg players have more accomplishment than Protoss player, at least Zerg had a Bonjwa. P.S. I am a Zerg player myself | ||

DTs didn't really win him game 1 tbh, the game was pretty even/standard after that considering he cut a lot of probes as well. I even think the supply count was even at some point after Leta took his nat, which is usually very good news for Terran.

Fair enough, though the reason so many people dislike someone or something because of people supporting him/her/it has always been kind of a mystery to me. Guy's objectively overhyped at the moment, but I doubt he can do anything about it (besides changing his looks or behavior maybe, which would be a shame). | ||

And don't forget that Protoss was a reason that this Zerg bonjwa was not a bonjwa anymore X_x My point is that if in SC there is a balance, the Zerg must become stronger overall, if overall apm/micro increases (because low-skill favors protoss and middle skill favors terrans). I mean, if Zerg is a such hard race to play (requires some inhuman calculations to deal with economy enough precisely, while P and T all have a simple exponential growth of economy...), there must be some reward for it. Or zerg becomes a little underpowered. =__= And I mean that both JD and Flash brough SC to the point when randomness and chance almost disappear from it and are replaced with precise counting of variants, possibilities and responses... So Zerg must search for the builds that haven't got serious "holes" in them. And current builds... yes, they seem to have holes. -___- | ||

I even think the supply count was even at some point after Leta took his nat, which is usually very good news for Terran. I disagree. Leta was still behind the entire game, couldn't take his nat for a while after Paralyze (because of the DTs and the turret snipe when Leta was trying to finally creep to his nat). He was never able to establish a large force and because of that had to be very aggressive, to try to cripple his opponent and come back a bit. Unfortunately his siege behind Paralyze's base was thwarted easily (good play on Paralyze's part but Leta was highly outnumbered). Same when he tried to grab a 3rd. In the end it was the DTs that sealed an advantage Leta wasn't able to surpass. Game 2 was just Leta disappointing though. Fair enough, though the reason so many people dislike someone or something because of people supporting him/her/it has always been kind of a mystery to me. Guy's objectively overhyped at the moment, but I doubt he can do anything about it (besides changing his looks or behavior maybe, which would be a shame). The hype is way over the top. At least Snow's hype began after he dominated the dream league and then ripped through the prelims. Paralyze has a very mediocre non-televized record and a short OSL career so far. BTW, this hype started BEFORE his 2-0 of Leta, so that was based off of 2 games vs great and his prelims play alone (and the afro, which I believe is why so many people are flocking to him). If he can actually deliver solid wins for the next few months I might be a fan. At the moment he's pretty underwhelming. | ||

A: I really wanted to make the Ro16 roday, so this time I practiced a ridiculous amount. That allowed me to succeed, which was pretty miraculous. Q: Why did you want to make Ro16 so badly? A: I've been playing pretty horribly recently, and in SPL I'm not doing well. I'm getting older and I'm the team captain, but I need to be a better gamer as well. Slumping made me very dejected, so I wanted to start performing better. Q: Your facial expression was bad after your loss in the first game. A: I didn't originally prepare for that type of opening. I played impromptu, so I was constantly berating myself, asking "Why did you play this way?" But then I thought, in the upcoming games I would definitely use the strategies I had the best grasp of. So I pulled myself together that way. Q: You played excellently in the 2nd and 3rd games. A: The 2nd game was good overall. In the 3rd game, my zergling runby did less damage than I anticipated, but what mattered is that I held the advantage throughout the game. Q: In game 3, your mutalisks were not very effective. A: I only had 5 mutalisks left, but I a-moved them to snipe off a high templar. I felt that it bought me time, so it wasn't a big deal. Q: Recently, your team has been working hard at the individual leagues. A: Yep. It's provided us a lot of benefit. Every player has his designated time to play, so everyone is doing well in the individual leagues. It's helped us find confidence, so our SPL performance is getting boosted too. Q: Last season, you left behind a lot of regrets in the OSL. A: I put too much energy into random things, so I was unable to concentrate on the games. I felt really apologetic to the coaches, and I hoped to begin anew next time. I feel like there's nothing that tops the importance of focusing on my matches now, but that still hasn't solved the issue in front of me. Q: This season's goal? A: I don't really have a goal to speak of. I'm redoubling my efforts in practice, so I'm confident I'll see results. Q: Anything else? A: Sun, Best, and Bisu have been helping me practice for a long time. They helped me analyze the enemy's style, so I want to thank them for that. It seems that people have been worried about me, but now I've advanced, so I'm now very happy and there's no need to worry. Despite being captain I haven't been getting good results, so I felt ashamed. It's good that I advanced today, and from now on I'll show everyone a new Captain Hyuk. source: http://www.wfbrood.com/xingji/hanguoxingji/xingji_58457.html | ||
