The word "hype" is so negatively misused in this community, I wouldnt put it on Moon.
Moon is a RTS legend. Its proven he got talent.

He's been hyped as one of the best players in the world when he practices. It's a difference between having talent and being hyped as one of the best players in the world.

Wrong, he WAS one of the best players in the world when he practised (in WC3). Not that crazy that some people hope its the same case for SC2. And I didnt see too many make that exact claim.

Definition to hype: "to intensify (advertising, promotion, or publicity) by ingenious or questionable claims, methods"
As soon as there is an upcoming player or otherwise promising (like Moon), its called a hype, because that player doesnt have results to back it up. This is so silly. If he would have results, he wouldnt be upcoming/promising anymore. And its not an "ingenious or questionable claim" that Moon will be good regarding his history.

Its so frustrating that every upcoming player gets thrown in the hype trash can.
(And may stay there forever, like when Stephano won IPL3, he was still overhyped according to many)


Umm people were actually saying Moon was unbeatable in practice in SC2.

It's sorta fun how the most underdog of the group manages to crush one of favorites of the group.
Kinda glad I liquidbet against Prime.

He isn't going, not enough time to get to Sweden, I guess the coach decided they needed him for GSTL, and he was right. They said Moon wasn't going in the Fnatic article that said Nightend had gotten sick and wasn't attending either.
Live to win

But Moon was never particularly great at Sc2. A lot of people claim Moon will be one of the worlds elite players with practice, I think that's a questionable claim for sure.

And Stephano is still overhyped. He hasn't won a Premier Tournament in 8 months (and he's only made one final in that time) and yet is constantly the favourite to win almost everything according to TL.



ehm... but hes top 8 in every single one of them???

and moon just beat MKP and Byul, after winning 3 in a row vs TSL last time "A lot of people claim Moon will be one of the worlds elite players with practice, I think that's a questionable claim for sure" how do you think this claim is questionable?

Guy would rape everything that isnt kespa if hed play 10h/day which he doesnt, at least play on par with the best 5. You dont have a wc3 background, i assume? Look at the foreigners, probably 22-25 of the best 30 have been wc3 players before. Just one of them was near Moon's level, all the others were little flys to him. He was the 5th race.

Its definitely a questionable claim, because there is no evidence that shows WC3 skill translates in any way into SC2 skill. All we know is Moon was really, really good at WC3 and that he's a creative, smart, and hard working player. There is no way to know how those traits will impact his SC2 performance. Therefore, the claim that he's gonna be great at sc2 is clearly questionable and by no means a certainty.

What evidence do you want? Arguably 4 of the 5 best foreigners come from WC3: Stephano, Naniwa, Thorzain and Sase. Moon and Lyn have been doing well, when they practised.
The claim (that Moon will be among the best) is by no means a "certainty", but its a reasonable claim based on good reasons, not "ingenious or questionable". (would be silly to say that every claim is questionable)

Good job Fnatic for beating one of the best teams as of recently, and also for getting the first TvZ win of the tournament. :D (though I may be mistaken on that).

How long has it been since Moon decided to switch to SC2 full time. Can't have even been a month... he is already showing scary results o.o. The 4th race?

On the other hand, some of the big names from WC3 have also languished: Grubby/ToD.
