The fact that he can play great BW with effectively one-eye, is just amazing.

Wow, I'm really impressed at how well he's done despite this hindrance. And respect for not making a big deal about it in public.

How the fuck did this turn into a handicap severity contest? Some of you people...

Hydra chose the path of progaming because that is what he wanted to do. Despite being stunted from the get go. He beat the odds, became a starleague champion and the ace player for one of the top teams. And bickering over who is impaired more is the best you can do?

He still has depth perception, it's just not as good as for people with 2 working eyes. I'm sure his brain has adjusted for the lack of a second eye providing vision by now, since it happened when he was very young.

Still, interesting fact and props for making it to this level with this kind of disability.

Makes his achievements look even better! Stunning what some of the progamers actually overcome to make it to the top.

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.


LOL

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'm pretty sure 1) most of the interviews we get of Flash are when he wins and 2) the interviewers are bringing it up most times because it's BIG NEWS when the best player in the world has a physical issue that impacts play.

Like two years ago when P Manning had the knee issue, every reporter would ask him about it in every game for the first half of the season even when it obviously wasn't an issue.

Sheesh.

All that said, mad respect for Hydra, playing with one eye is nuts.

This is about Hydra guys, not about Flash.

But wow, that's amazing. Especially when you consider his strength is muta micro, which requires precise clicks and incredible hand-eye coordination.
