After his match against Dear he stated that he was his own coach, and that players from all the KeSPA teams rejected practicing with him; he practiced against the likes of Neeb and JYP

also a few months ago Byun lost 0-2 against billowy in some online cup. Billowy should be GSL winner instead.

It was 2-3 but Byun is 11-0 against him since. I think you mean Stephano is champ because Byun never got a chance to regain his honor after getting obliterated in shoutcraft koth

So, finally I managed to read the LR till the end ... well, this was a sad final, but congratz ByuN, I hope, he wins BlizzCon as well, as sOs has no chance of getting there. He could actually win the cross finals as his PvZ is excellent, and if Dark or Solar beat ByuN, he could just win two PvZs, but he has no chance in Kespa cup as there are too many good players and sOs is not at all at his HotS skill levels ...

But great that there will be a GSL 2017!

Anyway, still three good tournaments in front of us and there are heroes to cheer for in every one of them:
Kespa cup: Maru!!!!
Cross finals: sOs!!!!
BlizzCon: ByuN!!!!

Plus we have the funny amateur thing today, which I hope, Scarlett can take!

Not much of a final, sOs was overrun by tier 1 basically. If Blizzards ever wants mech to be viable, they should start with making bioball not so good so terrans had a reason to play mech.

Other than that, it seems sOs not getting extended lance in game 2 was the turning point.


How about giving Byun at least some credit for his performance?


It's not that, granted his control is very good. I just don't think it's good design wise that if you get good enough with tier 1 it is almost impossible for other player to counter, it seems like you can almost solve the game of starcraft 2 that way. I don't think Byun is that much better than Dear with control, if any, that we saw in their match, and I think seeing that even Dear's control wasn't good enough with composition he had, kind of forced sOs to choose colossus play coming into the final.

I still consider Dear winning against Maru way back in code S was most impressive feat I've seen in SC2. But that was Dear defending with what little he had and succeeding. If same is possible while attacking, it may be a problem.

Medivacs, tanks, liberators, widow mines are all not Tier 1 units. And I really like about BW and SC2 that T1 units are still viable in the late game due to upgrades and synergy with T2 and T3 units.


The core of everything was once again marine. It forces protoss and zerg to play so that they dont die to mass marine, which in turn makes all these other tricks so much more viable. Effective and reliable aoe (before LotV) kept things in equilibrium in that regard before, now I'm not sure.

Stephano would have won against sOs today, not even joking
