I don't think Hongun is a good player :/. Not compared to his fellow code S players anyways. The code S protosses are pretty terrible except for like MC and Alicia. Code S protosses i expect to drop to code A: Hongun, Inca, anypro, genius, and trickster. Luckly some better protosses are in code B and A and headed for code S, like puzzle. Hongun making semi's is a disaster IMO.

Even if he would of lost today he would of won $ 2,800, last time i checked that is enough to get a dog. What was he aiming for, a world class show dog cause that is only dog that would cost 3 grand xp.
...
It's for the privilege of having a dog in the team house... Not simply to buy a dog...
When you live with 10ish people, you can't simply head out and buy a dog that will be living with all of you in the team house...
Ahh, I forgot that they live in team houses. That would make sense then, the whole dog thing was going over my head as i kept thinking it was a money issue. God that sucks, having to win GSL just to get a dog.

I think the problem is he that is unbelievably inconsistent, and the games who does win are usually ugly (there's only one or two Hongun games I can recall that were actually cool to watch) - similar to Anypro (who is more boring than weird).
Byun comparatively is a little more likeable and most of his games he actually loses by a close margin or does some notable things in them.
Edit: I'm glad Byun made it over Bomber, since I still don't enjoy Bomber's TvZ (I don't think Byun will necessarily fare better, but at least he'll have a shot to show something).

Artosis is hilarious. Went from MVP being the best T in the world about two weeks ago during his little self interview, to Puma being the best T in the world (couldn't think of another T when asked who he thought were the best 5 players) last night in SOTG, to Bomber being the best about 12 hours later.
to be honest byun has a better T v Z than bomber, so im really glad byun won. Also lets not discredit byun, he totally raped bomber the last 3 games, if bomber is so good that should not have happened! Its a mirror also so there are no balance issues to blame, better player won today.

Wow...that is some pretty fast flip-flopping.
As soon as Artosis started heaping praise on Bomber I knew in the back of my mind what the outcome of the match would be.
