HyuN just seems lost in HotS recently, especially ZvT. Maybe losing TSL was a bigger blow than expected, or maybe HotS simply doesn't fit HyuN's style.

Oh, and HyuN is facing Creator in a showmatch today, cheer him on.

At least HyuN reverse all-kills Creator in a Bo7 despite looking completely lost in the first few games. He adapted well and read the situations superbly.

Dang, HyuN loses 5-4 against Snute in an ESET showmatch. Well, at least HyuN made it closer than the usual results whenever they meet.

HyuN facing Dayshi for the GIGABYTE Pro League 2013 qualifiers. Expecting a swift and effective victory for HyuN.

Sigh, lost 2-1 against Dayshi... Maybe HyuN might want to slow down on the online tournaments recently and focus on offline tournaments and practice more. He just isn't close to the level he used to play at, and HotS should be HyuN's style of Zerg. Don't know what is really happening with him, but I just hope he gets over the slump.

HyuN defeats NaNiwa, YugiOh and MC in his second group. HyuN is making a strong statement in Sweden, and looking to make a comeback from the rather poor showings recently.

My favorite Hyun moment was on the NASL when he gave Golden a backrub (in response to DeMusliM getting one by his GF).

Totally shows that Koreans do have personality (awesome personalities).

HyuN defeats SaSe 2-0 in the Ro16 and goes on to face HerO in the Ro8. As long as HyuN's momentum in DreamHack doesn't stop here, HyuN has an excellent chance of reaching the Ro4.

HyuN is my favorite player. While is skill in WOL was unmatched in the final stages HOTS has not been kind to him. I hope that he brings his skill where he wants it to be. He is amazing and I hope Quantic shows him the kindness and respect that TSL gave him.
I think the lack of highquality practice partners on Quantic is really hurting him. I really think Azubu would've been better for both Center and HyuN.
Sigh.
<3 HyuN!!!!

Ughhh, the second game was a possible win had HyuN not been so risky with a 15 Hatch on the ace match in a Bo3. He did well against a player who dominates DreamHack events, but I really though this was HyuN's tournament to make the Ro4 for once

Still, HyuN pockets some WCS qualifier points and $1540 in prize money. This was a strong showing coming out of the slump he displayed in ATC and GSL, and hopefully he qualifies for WCS NA and performs strongly there.

He was playing in Code S this season... so no, he won't be qualifying for WCS NA this time, and next season he has to go through challenger, afaik.

Anyway, too bade HyuN lost, he one of the braver Koreans on the scene and it's always a fun time when HyuN is participating.

HyuN did fairly decently in ATC this time against Liquid. Went 50-50 against TaeJa and pulled it off in the ace match, giving Quantic their first victory.

Bah, still can't really comprehend how HyuN could lose to puCK 1-2. Loser's bracket is always there, but HyuN is going to be exhausted and it could interfere with his results.

It's Hyun. One day he can look absolutely unbeatable, he absolutely demolished Naniwa in the two games he won against him at Dreamhack (and I would argue that Naniwa is better than Puck), the next day he's making mass roaches after the 20th minute mark.

I wouldn't worry too much, but he needs to get back to the consistensy level he had in WoL. I personally think that he struggles a little bit with a new game; he has always been a very mechanical player more so than a meta-gamer and a smart player.

Also, nice ace match versus Taeja. Incredible macro this guy has.
