You can discuss why his performance and overall showing at HSC wasn't that well as any of his fans or TL-Fans may have hoped. On my side of this (huge fan of him) i'm rly sad but not disappointed. Going out of the tournament so early wasn't good, but what bothered me more was the fact that he didn't show up to give some autographs or take some photos. I've been there on friday and saturday and only saw him for seconds as he was leaving the place with the other koreans to take a break from the flat. i took my chance as they retourned just to get the worst photo ever taken by me (thanks to the photographer who didn't know my cam at this moment). so that was my overall experience of meeting my favourite player  i didn't even have the chance to let him sign my mousepad because at this moment i just didn't want him to wait outside of the pub for me to grab it from the inside ... who knew that in the end this whould've been my only chance? Still <3 u Hyeondeok! more play less travel and you'll be Code S Champ. -> pictures i took on HSC: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.325021600854294.77033.100000393696163&type=3 (i hope you can access them without beeing friend?) you can take these pics wherever u want (reupload etc.) - just wanted to share wow dude, great pictures! Nice to know that incontrol was there smashing nerd arms haha! Even breaking one ;D Incontrol is a nice guy can't understand why people always bash the guy! It was a great tournament, thank you take, the organization and the players!! | ||

I don't think Real, Sound, or Violet will have left long lasting impressions in the minds of fans (at least JYP can go play in Code S). Still, it's better than nothing. They will command our respect for at least the short term future, and it might be a base to build upon with future tournament success. viOLet a "sort of winner", yet he defeats MKP 3-1 and 2-0's HerO and STILL doesn't get ANY applause? If anyone read about this kid's story and how much of his life he's dedicated to even GET to HSC4 let alone any LANs with what's happened, people would give this kid the attention he deserves. Sigh. | ||

Poor Her0. You're good, man - ignore the doubt, and just play! Nice wrap-up, and the HSC has a great atmosphere - one of the few tourneys I've actually watched (stealthily, of course) from work. :D | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DhtYl.gif) Also props go to thorzain, ret, socke (I think it was), who did some amazing chilled casting late on in the tourney. They just sat around how I imagine sc2 players want to sit around, not getting hyper about nothing, not trying too hard to show off funny personalities, just sitting watching the game discussing the implications of scouting someone's robo tech or whatever. | ||

No need to kick him while he is already down. First people start hyping him as the best Protoss in the world and when he does not meet these expectations, whether at blizzcup or hsc, we think he did poorly. Let's all support the guy for the good player that he is. There were no players who lost at hsc. Even if they were knocked out the first Round, I'm sure they had a great time and got to show their fans their personality. yeah, this 100 times over. Poor guy Great articles and an awesome read nonetheless | ||

LOL - Geoff didn't break anything Please don't get this wrong! The guy just slipped his ellbow over the table - just look at the wood and the holes in the metal inbetween  (maybe he didn't realise where he put his arm because of beeing a bit drunk he just ripped a bit off his skin. I'm sure Geoff whouldn't do anything harming intentional. the picture looks much more dramatic than it really was | ||

Yes, I am a bit biased.. but the fact he was not mentioned at all, also shows some biased. The guy went there.. with not one person expecting him to reach the 2nd stage. Not only did he do that, but he finished 4th overall. The fact that he went from a virtual unknown into a training camp that has helped him grow as a player and person.. should be a story. Like I said though.. I am a bit biased in that respect. Great write up though! | ||

Yeah, he's a winner. Just like Sound. But Wax's point is, that as they are no foreigners, people don't care that much for their result if they don't win it all... Violet and Sound impressed me the most to be honest. Hero was a disappointment for sure, but so was Thorzain. | ||
