Beyond the entertainment value of getting motherships and carriers in the GSL (I believe he is still the only protoss to have gotten either of these units?), he is a very solid player.
Actually, whichever Protoss knocked out MaruPrime in GSL1 got a Mothership, but that doesn't really count because he didn't do anything with it (Maru GG'd right after the Mothership came out). So, HongUn is, I think, the only Protoss player to have actually gotten and USED a Mothership in the GSL. MC also got Carriers against Jinro last season but that didn't work out for him. HongUn got Carriers and won  So I guess you could say HongUn is the only Protoss to have gotten either of those units and made them look totally badass.

Uh, is this the guy who said "Roach imba" in a winner interview after winning against a zerg? Not to mention that his macro is lowplat level compared to any code A player that is still in the tournament.

Sign me up! I'm still going to be rooting for Jinro, but HongUn always entertains me.

ha, nice! sign me up, always love seeing his plays (wall against FD was epic :D)

I can definitely appreciate a player who has such cool strategies, you can tell he's a player who thinks a lot more than most. I'm a fan!
that said please lose to jinro D:

San actually wasn't that bad in GSL1. He was considered "lesser" but if you watch the DQ game against Inca it was pretty good. His ro64 game in GSL2 also wasn't that bad IIRC, just in his ro32 game he choked and from that point on everyone considered him a joke. It was actually pretty unfair, whether or not he was a top player he was not nearly as bad as people made him out to be.
I think I'm a HongUn fan because I feel like he's the underdog in every game he plays, but he wins anyway.
Edit: HongUn is the Fruit Dealer of Protosses. Fitting because they're best bros.

Count me in. I became a big HongUn fan during GSL 3 where he gave us carriers, insane wall ins, and solid double forge builds. Plus he's pretty easy going about it all. Sucks he has to play against Jinro next.

Big ol' ban-trap right here
We may like HongUn's play, but I'm sure we all love Jinro as well!

I love Hongun, but he's not the first person to get a mothership in GSL, I think that was NEXChief.
edit: Yeah, definitely was Chief in his epic scrap station game season 2.
|
to be honest I would like hongUn to win ...

Now that is a tough one. Jinro kind of represents the foreigner scene over there at the moment (some would say a welcome change from our previous representative), as well as the website I love, and seems like a great guy. I really want Jinro to win a GSL, more than HongUn because of what it would mean.
But he's also a terran (I play P&Z, and generally root against the terran), and I love watching HongUn play.
I think I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the games, safe in the knowledge they'll make for great viewing.

Sign me up! I'll most def root for HongUn. His Robo+ Dual upgrades play v Rain in GSL Season 3 was so sick!
+ Show Spoiler +I won my liquibet! :D HongUn Hwaiting~

Haven't had a chance to watch the games yet but go HongUn!! Again, sucks that Jinro lost though.
|
Like Fruitdealer he tends to all-in a bit too much for my taste (which leads to a lot of resentment, particularly around here). Hes shown some nice macro games though, I think he was the first Korean that we saw using a double forge build (at least in gsl). His phoenix control in game 3 of the Jinro series today was pretty impressive. Despite some of his showings I don't think hes on the same tier as an MC but hes probably just a tier or so below.
