Well written article! Have been a fan of baby since his birth (or so it seems as this kid is still so young).

I wonder if his bedtime storys involved siege tanks and marines....

Wow FE, good work Xxio!!
Awesome article, very well written.

I've liked this kid for a long time and I'm very happy to see him play so well lately. I remember noticing Baby's awesomeness back in a Gom classic where he played some very impressive games (if I remember correctly on Medusa -possibly against Jangbi??) but he has come a long way since then. And now he has a Final Edit!!!

Also this pic is epic:

Wicked article.
Baby is unique to me,
in that he's so young.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Baby reminds me a lot of Sea actually. I hope he proves me wrong by going far in an SL.

I can't believe you didn't mention the 2 games vs Jangbi in the GOMTV Classic tournament. Those games are generally considered his "breakout" games and they put Jangbi in a PvT slump, a feat in itself.
Also calling (P)Movie a top PvT protoss is a huuuge stretch, he's worse than 50% with that mu, dropping games to pretty mediocre players as well.

It wouldn’t be until the winter of 2009 that Jun Tae Yang would strike from the shadows of WeMade’s B-team, shocking the world by slaying a Tyrant and achieving an all-kill, foreshadowing the end of one age and the beginning of another; a change in seasons.


Which winter do you mean? January 2009? Or December? He's been pretty prominent before December 2009, albeit not dominating, but he's definitely been on the A-team long before december.

BaBy shows some very unique tendencies in TvT. In this matchup, we can see that BaBy likes to expand and macro, usually in a sudden explosion when he has a decisive midgame advantage.


I really don't think there's anything unique about this, every terran will expand if they have an advantage. The korean style of expo whoring and going for heavy tank/dropship/goliath play ensures you have spare minerals, so naturally you expo and turret up. Baby just does it slightly better than the rest.

Other than those points, I mostly agree with what you wrote. I'm a big fan of good upcoming terrans and it's nice to see someone other than Flash get some limelight.

I absolutely love this kids play style. A refreshing Terran who is more often than not an absolute pleasure to watch. Great write up.

Great article, yo!

I really started paying attention to baby when he 2-0'd jangbi in GSI way back in season 3. I figured maybe this kid has potential, and i wasn't wrong about it either =P

So this whole article is "how is by.babby formed". Very interesting read. He's been really tearing it up, and I'm starting to believe. Lol at godfather picture.

Oh, and against Jaedong, a Lurker got stuck and JD lost as a result. But Baby defended competently, so yeah, he's legit.

A great read about a great player.
I love baby's matches (despite him beating Jaedong D=< ) because his aggression is always so ENTERTAINING. It's amazing to watch him pick apart his opponents with little bits here and there, and then just roll them. ^_^
