I'm surprised he never mentioned his disability (and its burden on his concentration) in previous interviews. I'm very impressed with his additional effort and perseverance.

And here I am, cursing him to lose every game...
I feel so...
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

I'm impressed with his effort and fighting spirit. Props to him for never using it as an excuse. He really has overcome a lot and I'm glad his hard work has let him minimize this disability and take a title. I hope he continues to do well in the future.

In my defense, that was the title used in the Chinese translation. I'm not sure what it was in the original Korean. "Cyclops" isn't necessarily interpreted as an offensive in Chinese, so the intent could be different from how we receive it in English.

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?


hydra has been playing with his handicap and not complaining, or blaming his losses on it all these years. the moment flash loses he brings up his wrist injury. thats the difference.

I actually don't find it offensive at all. You know how ballin' a Cyclops is in the stories? Anyway it's just how you interpret it!

People, grow up please, it is apples and oranges. Stop comparing the two conditions, they are very different. Obviously you can play with 1 eye, but not with 1 hand. So very different.

Just respect Hydra for his mad effort, and respect Flash for his mad skills.

If Hydra gets his left eye back(by some mysterious magic or something lol) then he would just stomp down everyone! Oh man! Go Hydra!

When i saw the end of 4set of pdpop MSL finals, i thought it was weird to see the new champion rubbing his eyes. Usually winners will throw their arms up, etc. Guess it must have been tiring for his eyes.

I though he was so happy he was about to cry or something.

I still dislike the player for the group of death thing, but this is nothing short of absolutely commendable.
