hyun is a kespa player. He was an A-team broodwar player for MBC Game. You should watch his game vs flash on matchpoint.
Most of the Koreans (except for younger guys) at some point played for a KeSPA team. That's not really what he meant though.
Hyun isn't most of the koreans that played on a kespa team. He was a starter on the A-team.
I remember when HyuN switched to SC2. He was one of the first Elephant in the Room back then. But he fell in love with banelings a bit too much and people call him a fluke )=

From what I remember, HyuN generally maintains his APM at about 300-350-ish, though I'm not 100% sure on this. Might be closer to 200-250.

Constant BM will generate a lot of attention and is great at attracting a large amount of fans over a short period of time. But look a bit further down the road, no major sponsors will want to associate their brand with any negative contents. You are sacrificing a future for a shortcut to get more fans. This is just a slow spiral to the bottom because to satisfy that (large) proportion of your fans, you might need to keep BMing, forever. Is this what you really want to be remember as?
Just look at the recent progamer example. Sure he still have 9k viewer every time he stream, but before the whole incident he had 9k viewer, a job, a lovely rented apartment, a team of people working hard to develop him as a player, and a bright future. It's sad to say that there is a good chance that he will never get another sponsorship from a major brand because a simple search on the internet is probably enough to discourage any potential offers. And he is probably not even aware that his image other major SC country like China is just as bad if not worst, that is because their sites has been associating the words BM with his name every time he comes up in their article.
So if you really want to proceed down the path of pro SC2 player, my word of advice is do not go down the BM path.
I'm pretty sure that nobody's getting kicked off a team for not shaking someone's hand or giving someone a thumbs down after winning.

Queens are multi purpose.
They are good. Even great considering it is a 150 mineral caster that costs no gas. But to expect to win against BC raven army? No, that would be stupidly broken (and that first fight was very close because of those transfuses, bio helped a lot there)
corruptor does worse than skyterran, especially one that isn't going full sky. queen can let ultras break through the bio and just break down the production while using the economy to kill polt
