OK. I don't dislike Hydra anymore and root for him from now on.

I honestly would not feel comfortable straining my one remaining good eye for a career of computer gaming.

He must have a lot of passion for starcraft.

Props to him. I respect him.

I don't mean to disrespect hydra in any way, and I realize it is a really great that he is able to get through life with only one eye but... how would having only one eye possibly affect Starcraft play? You don't need depth perception to play SC...???

Also, he won't feel any pain by now since this was a childhood accident.

Wow, that is quite shocking news. It is quite impressive that he managed to win a starleague with that condition.

His working eye has to move further to cover the area his non-working eye would normally cover. I would imagine this probably puts a lot of strain on his working eye. Also there is a chance his left eye could have been the dominant one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance). According to this article, there is a 1/3 chance his left eye (non-working) could be his more coordinated eye.

Seconded. And he won an MSL final. Too sick

Hope he doesn't hurt the healthy eye.

Badass for hydra, but maybe seeing outlines is advantageous like Neo seeing all those numbers in the matrix.
