Damn, I can't believe he's so good with only having full use of 1 eye, congrats to Hydra! He must've had to practice soo much harder than the other players, but at least he's got a gold to show for it :D!

How can I dislike a player like that now..... His rise to stardom has been so quick that I never gave him much credit, but to rise like that with a handicap is crazy hydra

I want a T-Shirt with Hydra now, in Che style. :bow: But that also means he has difficulty following the minimap. Hope opponents don't try to abuse that somehow, it would be a low blow.

Yes its surprising as I imagine his eye is still causing intense pain when he plays broodwar making it hard for him to hold his mouse.

Hydra should defenitely wear a monacle instead of a contact lens

Holy f... That... That is Pro Gaming "Fighting Spirit" right here, ANYONE can take a page out of Hydra's book and learn something. This should be frontpaged imo.... this is just inspirational to say the least. Hydra is a beast... TL needs to get a live interview... GO HB!

So, protip for those playing against Hydra - send your drops in from the left

EDIT: also, where are the fanboys bitching that a progamer is talking about a valid impairment to his play?

Mad respect to this guy. I kind of disliked him for trolling with the MSL groups but you can't deny this guy has determination and talent.

Flash should learn a thing or two from hydra.

Again, quote of the thread. I also remember Hydra saying after being beaten by Flash in the previous MSL something like (a paraphrase) "I learned so much, these games pointed out my weaknesses and my limited understanding." He could very well have mentioned his eye, but no. Flash on the other hand volunteers information every opportunity he gets to mention his wrists. He could just say, "It's ok fans, it's being treated and doctors say its fine so don't worry about it" (which is factually true and sportsmanlike). Instead he chooses to mention tendons, muscles, he cant hold the mouse... It's sad, tbh. That is the reason why Koka, prototype, and others like me find it offensive.

For all the haters, a comparison of the two injuries

Flash
- Recent condition
- Fluctuating in severity
- Directly due to playing
- Potentially treatable
- Known and questioned upon
- Directly visible

Hydra
- Past condition
- Stable in severity
- From a childhood incident
- Permanent
- Unknown until now, interviewers will probably ask him about it from now on
- Not clearly visible

(rotten) apples and oranges, really
