If you want to put out facts about Hydra, do not forget that he won a MSL! (for those that may not know, the MSL was one of two individual leagues that were around in pro BW in Korea). Although second string to the starleague (OSL), winning an MSL is very prestigious and you should add this in Hydra's feats even if it was accomplished in BW (as you already point out several wins in BW times).
Hydra was also CJ's ace back in BW after EffOrt's struggles and first retirement.

Also, absolutely sign me up.
I don't think I've heard any, Hail Hydra is good enough xD
Also that pun in the intro... we, foreigners, are teaching him well haha
he looks so happy and delivers fantastic results as part of ROOT. What a brilliant move by CatZ to take him in, i wonder if he is the most accomplished Korean pro who switched to the foreigner scene.

JD is still active? This is pretty sick
Well, he disappeared for a while but he hasn't officially announced his retirement yet, so we'll see at qualifiers.
As may you know, I won't be participating in BlizzCon this year. Because of a conflict with my wedding. It had to be booked a year ago to set it up on a good day and time for all my family and fiance's. Last year and two year ago, BlizzCon started on the Nov 1st, so I thought it would be fine to book my wedding on the 29th(+time difference between kr and usa so would arrive on the 29th.), But the schedule was set differently this year, and I know that's no one's fault. Blizzard, Catz and I tried our best to figure it out, But we could't reach to make it happen. As I believed so much that it could've been figured and I could've played it, it was frustrating so much. Especially I am planning to join the military service in Korea at the end of this year, it would've been my last big tournament. But everything has been decided now. I'd like to thank Blizzard and CatZ for all the work figuring this out. I'm happy that I'm still going to BlizzCon to play a show match. So I hope to see some of you there! And I'm so excited to see what's going to happen in BlizzCon this year. I personally think it's sad to see Neeb and Snute are in the same group because I think they are two of best outside of Korea, but why not both get out of the group.👍 Btw, I will be cheering for foreign players (foreign players could be Kr players, after Neeb won 😂)
Despite that he still appears here and there, he stays connected with the scene. Who knows, maybe he will make a comeback, not necessarily as pro but someone related.
