I remember Day9 doing that daily of Free vs. HiyA on Triathlon, was so good and funny. (It's Day9 Daily ~130 or somewhere around there if you want to rewatch it).

K good, because when I saw fishiking I thought he meant a stroll through Hollywood or something.
Fish king makes sense since he's Magicarp.

Fishiking is correct; HiyA called himself "Hollywood Fishiking" when he visited the TL restream of him.

Great writeup for such a solid Terran.

That Triathalon game definitely made me a fan, makes me wish I followed him more closely when he was playing =\

Awesome write-up. Watching that flash game was crazy. Surely,massing wraiths will become standard
when people realize the genius of Magikarp. Pro-gamers always talk about showing great games,
he accomplished that handily.

hollywood fishking fightiiiiiiiiing!!!

I'd just like to say that I haven't played broodwar, or even really watched it, but this article was thoroughly enjoyable, I'm now a HiyA fan!

Hiya is on the top of my list of progamers I would want to meet in real life. Always loved his games, really a high level pro that never got his chance to shine.

I wonder when SC2 will have games this epic without someone dieing quickly to some crazy thing like mass wraiths, or banshees in that situation. I love the fact that BW still has these epic battles. The war isn't won with a single battle, the war is won over several battles with nail biting back and forth action that really leaves no room for anticipation of the victor.

Hiya is an awesome terran, one I wouldn't expect to get any kind of glory so this is unexpected but welcome. Many players not just the so called top players have contributed to the massive number of epic games in BW.

Sick spotlight.
