I feel like the tears of the GSL interviewer at the winner's interview really put this all into perspective. There is that shock factor I guess, to see someone who's been so efficient -- almost robotic -- at what she does, suddenly show a very emotional and human side.
For us, ByuL's victory might be just another win/loss at Liquibet. But for him, it's practicing through those long hard years, riddled with disappointments and with no hope in sight. Now, this championship that he's been yearning for so long, is finally within close reach. He's on the verge of making a big splash in the scene, transforming himself from a faceless Korean to a champion that will be etched in people's minds.
I still remember how duckdeok broke down into tears after winning WCS Europe. There are so many progamers that retire without a single championship title (or even an appearance in a tournament final) to their names. ByuL said in this interview, that this might've been his last year as a progamer if he couldn't make it to the finals. He could easily have been one of them. These guys are hungry for that championship, and I feel it's something that we as audience tend not to notice through their polite and sometimes banal interviews.
I hate him for eliminating PartinG. But any one who works as hard for his/her dream as these guys deserves respect. Some of the player hate in this thread is just outrageous. The interviewer teared up? How come?
When ByuL mentioned that he wud've retired if he didn't make it to the finals, and that he got a lot of help from his teammates, so he's carrying the team's weight on his shoulders... something like that, and then the interviewer shed a few tears at that point. Should probably watch the last part on VOD, I mean Artosis does a better job explaining.
