* We have to mention the dog

Bomber said he liked dogs as well. In the ST house, they also raised a dog. During the games I could only think about dog. In the 5th set I couldn't concentrate so I thought about dogs. Once I started thinking dogs my concentration went up

* When are you going to get the dog?

After finishing the round of 4

* What type of dog do you want?

small 누렁이

* Doesn't it grow up really fast?

I like the fact that it does grow up fast

* Did the desire of wanting a dog allow you to reach the round of 4?

Yes

* Won't it become a hassle to take care of it when it becomes bigger?

At home it is fine, at my team house I will listen to everyone's opinion and decide.

Its funny that we all joked about him playing for the dog, but that's actually what he did. I think the teams need to start offering the players better incentives to win £30000 isn't enough.

edit: The breed of dog that he's getting is actually usually raised as livestock.


Dogs OP. =(

Kinda strange the thought of dogs helps him concentrate. :O

Byun has amazing TvT but I'm still not sold on his TvZ, I think it's going to have his hands full with Losira and we could very likely be looking at a ZvZ final.


pretty much agreed =(

Byun's TvZ > Bomber's TvZ. Bomber's TvZ is mediocre at best.


Why do I keep hearing this? He has the 7th best TvZ ELO and 4th best for a terran. Just because his TvZ winrate isn't as high as his absurd TvP doesn't make it "mediocre." Anyone who has gone 3-0 vs Losira and has a losing record against only one zerg (Nestea) doesn't deserve this.


Because Byun can play a late game TvZ better.

That doesn't make him better in TvZ : we haven't see enough of Bomber to claim that.
His taldarim game against NesTea was pretty good, and against Moon he was far behind because of baneling (or roach can't remember) bust and still managed to go to the lategame...
We can't really know who is good in TvZ to be honest.

I am hoping for a ZvZ final since Losira and Nestea are probably my two favorite players and I would be happy seeing either win.

Because SC2TL has a ton of hardcore bandwagon fanboys. Right now Bomber is "in" it the hip thing to be a fan of.

Bomber's popular because he's really damn good when he's on his game. Those first two games were delicious.

Yet for the next three games, he seems to have tilted. Which isn't an excuse for him, and it's a legitimate fault. But losing in the Ro8 doesn't invalidate the hype. Byun is not bad at all, and I picked him to win on Liquibet. LOOK IT UP.

Because I've actually watched his games, and nothing I've seen of his TvZ has impressed me? And no, I'm not particularly anti-Bomber. If anything, I am quite a Bomber fan and had been hoping for him to take the series, but having a 3-0 record against Losira during that time when Losira's ZvT was shit isn't very impressive. It's only recently that Losira has been improving his ZvT by leaps and bounds but back then, it was absolutely atrocious. It was so atrocious that even now, when he's been getting better at that match-up, his win percentage is still sitting at an amazingly horrible 41%. That's how bad it was in the past.

Why so much random hate comments about Hongun, yeah its expected that he lose from Nestea, but you people moan about him entering top4, like he is some random protoss who got there by accident, instead one of top3 protoss with best results in GSL, with double top4 and double top8..
Show some respect before making laughable comments, i know its sad that we will not see MC vs Nestea match that we all hoped for, but its a decent player who beat MC, and not some....(insert random insult)


Haha you are right, people are probably upset because Hongun said that his official PvP winrate was 0% and then he proceeded to win against MC


People just say things like that because of how his actual games look. He and anypro are both not very well known for things other than 4 gate/mass blink stalkers/or 6 gate.

Huge surprise seeing Byun in the semis.... why do I have a sneaking suspicion that we're going to see no Z in the finals (a.k.a. HongUn vs. Byun.... the wtf matchup).

That or only 1 of the strongest will make it and we'll see yet another 1 sided GSL finals....

Nah, dogs are great!

Now that Byun got his puppy, I just hope he doesn't forget he still needs to play the semifinals!

You gotta be shitting me? I fell asleep when Bomber was up 2-1, and now he's eliminated? After all that potential, we STILL get a shitty and one-sided finals (maybe a ZvZ one at that)? Damn you, GSL! Damn you!
