I actually enjoyed watching Zerg players try to come up with answers for how strong mech was. Struggling for 40 minutes and ByuL actually winning most of the time still.

ByuL's ZvT should have gone down as something amazing but no one remembers because he choked in like three consecutive finals

ByuL was outrageously good against Terran really. Pretty much unbeatable with LBM if he reached his comfort zone and also able to bring any mech Terran to their limits.

The Hots days where soO-Byul and Dark went full kong were hard time, they were all so good at the time
But the start of Lotv was indeed the worst for me, watching the game was ok, playing it was a nightmare
